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.

Is Heaven Real? - What Happens When We Die
In the second part of our 2 part series, What Happens When We Die, we ask questions about heaven. Where is heaven? Do we go there immediately? Are we in a state of soul sleep? Do we see Jesus immediately? Is there a transitional space before the new heavens and new earth? There are so many questions around heaven but the Bible does not have one clear or definitive answer. In this episode Mike Davies, Dan Barnard and Luke Hulley, elders in the life of JoshGen, share what the Bible says about heaven and what we can look forward to.
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.
