TMT or Timothy Ministry Training could be considered one of JoshGen's best kept secrets. In this episode we have five guests in studio, leaders, staff and students who share their personal experiences of how God has in worked their lives throught the ministry of TMT. Mike, who is the dean of TMT, takes the role of guest as well and gives us an overview of what TMT is all about and who can participate in the programme. If you need a gap year, preparation for a variety of ministries or a springboard into university or a career then TMT is a possible option that God may be leading you into.

It’s that time of the year again with the festive season fast approaching! Christmas is spiritually sacred for many people while for others Christmas is viewed as a pagan festival that believers should avoid since we are called to not copy or love the world. In this episode Carel Albertyn and Clarence Rule, elders in JoshGen, look at the origins of the festival and how Christians should approach Christmas and celebrating the birth of Jesus.

As Christians, we carry in a sense dual citizenship. We are citizens of heaven but also are citizens here in South Africa. We submit to the Lord God but Scripture is also clear that we need to submit to earthly authorities. Romans 13:1 says “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” But how does this work out for us today in democratic societies in the 21st Century, especially as our governments are increasingly become anti-Christian. How do we learn to obey God but also honour the government? We have with us Nadene Badenhorst who is an advocate and worked for FORSA and now serving as a full-time deacon in JoshGen. She shares her wide experience and knowledge as to how we should respond to government in various situations.

It's important we have fathers in the faith who we can look up to as examples for us. Russell Fraser serves on eldership in JG and have done so for 23 years faithfully. Russell is recognised as a five-fold pastor. In this episode, want to hear a bit of his story and learn from him, how we can also learn to love God's people and how to do so skillfully. Hebrews 13:7 says "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith."

Lolly and Mike are both back in the studio with us to discuss more around gender roles. In the last last episode we spoke through why we hold to a traditional view from scripture of godly male headship and how God's pattern is male and female roles as complementing each other. We would encourage you to listen to the first part of this to give context (released 19 Sept) We want to focus more on husband and wife roles in the nitty-gritty of home and how women can be used in public roles in church life. We believe in godly patriarchy and male headship in church and the home. How does this look practically in the partnership of husbands and wives when it comes to decision making?

In this episode we look at one of the fundamental doctrines of the christian faith–repentance. Hebrews 6:1 tells us that repentance from dead works and faith towards God, is a basic truth we all have to grasp and understand. Jesus, Peter and Paul preached about repentance and Jesus even tells churches in Revelation to repent from their ways. But, what is true repentance exactly and how can we live out a lifestyle of repentance as followers of Jesus? Mike Davies helps us understand the truth of Biblical repentance and explains how this doctrine has been watered down to the point of heresy in the church today.

There is popular phrase in our culture called ‘toxic masculinity’. It was originally coined as as reference to men who were super aggressive, who treated women as objects and were emotionally hardened. What has happened now is that any form of competitiveness, masculinity and male leadership is frowned upon and seen as inherently abusive. The Bible says men were made in the image of God. Our question this episode is, what does a godly man look like and how does it differ from toxic masculinity? Luke Watson and Bret Bevan are both elders serving within JoshGen joining us for this episode and helping understand the truth of what God's idea is of a real man.

Moving or relocating can be traumatic and stressful even if it's an answer to the call of God. We live in a very mobile, transient culture where people often move for personal gain, e.g. for work opportunities, a lifestyle change or those who move to be closer to family. While those aren’t necessarily wrong in themselves, we want to look at relocating according to God’s will and see what that looks like. Adam Hellyer, an elder with JosGen, and Andrew and Cindy Byett share their stories, sometimes very emotional, of how God led them to move across the ocean to another continent.

In this episode we explore what the Bible says about healing and how we should exercise the gift of healing. What happens when some don’t get healed and is it God’s will to heal everyone? We would like to leave you with a clear understanding of God’s character as the One who loves to heal but also uses trials and even illness for our good. He is a good God who works through healing and adversity. Maurice Ras and Dylan Jones share their experiences and give us insight into what God's word says about how we should pray for the sick and exercise faith with the gift of healing.

Statistics show that more than 90% of women who have experienced menopause were never prepared for it which highlights a huge need for more awareness. Menopause has a phenomenal impact in the daily lives of women, their families, relationships, work and ministry. This critical lack of awareness was clearly demonstrated in a recent JoshGen ladies meeting where more than 600 women attended. As a result of this came requests for more equipping and very importantly a desire to share the impacts of menopause with men in relation to their wives, sisters, mothers, spiritual sisters and co-workers. Dr Louise Dauth, a general practitioner with a special interest in women’s health, and Kim Delport, a core team member of JoshGen’s women’s ministry Anchored, share valuable insights on how both women and men can navigate the impacts of this life changing experience in a godly way. https://www.imsociety.org https://www.menopause.org.au/ https://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/
