In a world driven by logic, science, and proof, the idea of the supernatural can seem outdated or even irrelevant. But for us as believers, the supernatural isn’t a fringe element of faith — it’s central to the life and ministry of Jesus and the New Testament Church. So what does it mean to live naturally supernatural in today’s skeptical age? How do we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit while remaining grounded, authentic, and approachable? And how do we minister to people who don’t believe in miracles, signs, or wonders? In this episode of Dying to Live, we’re unpacking what it looks like to live a life where the supernatural becomes natural — not weird, not forced, but an everyday reality that flows from intimacy with God.

The Prosperity Gospel - Exposing A Different Gospel
In today’s episode, we’re addressing a subject that has deeply influenced many lives in different contexts and continents — the prosperity gospel. While it often comes wrapped in the language of faith, confession and blessing, it distorts the very heart of Christ’s Gospel message and leads many into confusion, disappointment, and crisis of faith. The truth is, following Jesus doesn’t mean we’re spared from suffering — believers still go through trials, hardship, and even persecution. But in the midst of it all, we are promised His presence, His grace, and eternal life. Our aim today isn’t to attack people, but to lovingly bring clarity, expose error, and point us back to the true Gospel — a Gospel of grace, not greed; of Christ and not consumerism. Johane Musviba, Michael D'Offay and Dylan Jones, elders in the life of JoshGen, share their thoughts and bring correction around this controversial subject.

Performance - Is It a Kingdom Value?
In our secular world from sport to business to entertainment we are judged how well we perform. But, can this be transferred to the Kingdom? Is performance a value we can subscribe to? How do we measure success in the Kingdom? How does Jesus view performance? Does it fit in or is it opposed to Biblical principles? Our team of elders, Dan Barnard, Luke Hulley and Neil Greig bring a perspective of where performance fits in our lives both secular and ministry.

Crushed by a 3 Ton Tractor - A Miracle Testimony
In this episode we hear the remarkable stories of Marnus and Mareli Coetzee who are saints in the JoshGen Wellington congregation, their journey to salvation through the death of their unborn son and the incredibly supernatural miracle when Marnus was crushed by a 3 ton tractor on their farm. They share their experiences and what God has taught them through these experiences.
The paradox of the Christian faith involves losing one's life to find it and dying to oneself to gain it (Mark 8:34-35). As citizens of heaven we work, study, love and live here on the earth. The podcast features real conversations aimed at helping believers live for Christ while being grounded in the truth as they navigate life in this secular world. Hosted by Wayne Turner and Nadene Badenhorst for Joshua Generation Church with Michael d'Offay giving eldership oversight.
