Anglicanism was once a beacon of biblical influence—home to giants like J.C. Ryle, C.S. Lewis, and William Wilberforce. But today, the Church of England faces one of its greatest crises yet: the appointment of its first female Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, a figure known for doctrinal compromise. What began as Queen Elizabeth I’s attempt to unite Catholics and Protestants has spiralled into centuries of spiritual erosion. In this episode, we trace Anglicanism’s historical roots, its decline into accommodation, and what it means for believers across Africa and beyond. Has the light in Canterbury gone out—or can revival come again?

When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing you reach for—your Bible or your phone? South Africans now spend over half their waking hours in front of screens, and it’s taking a quiet toll on the soul. In this episode, we explore how technology has subtly displaced our time with God and how believers can reclaim the joy of true communion with Christ. Learn how to resist digital distraction, rediscover the sweetness of Scripture, and pray with a focused heart. Because on your deathbed, it won’t be your phone you’ll want—it’ll be Jesus.

South Africa’s unemployment rate is the highest in the world—nearly half of job seekers can’t find work. But what should Christians do in such a crisis? Is there any hope when doors keep closing? In this episode, we turn to Scripture to rediscover God’s design for work and the character He shapes through trials. From faithfulness in daily life to prayer, skill-building, and persistence, we unpack biblical wisdom for believers navigating unemployment. God hasn’t lost control—He is using this season to refine, prepare, and provide for His people who work heartily as unto the Lord.

In this second instalment on steps for a young man to take to find a wife, we learn more principles from the life of Isaac.

The 2026 local elections could shape South Africa’s future—but how should Christians approach the ballot box? The ANC has led the nation into decay, while the DA promises reform but promotes values contrary to Scripture. Should believers still vote—and if so, how? In this episode, we explore three vital questions: Does God call us to vote? What are we doing when we vote? And what must we consider before we vote? Discover how your vote can be an act of love for your neighbour and a stand for righteousness in a fallen political landscape.

From the life of Isaac we find some crucial principles on how a young man can go about finding a partner to spend the rest of his life with.

Every few years, another bold claim surfaces: “Jesus is coming back this weekend!” From William Miller’s Great Disappointment to South Africa’s Joshua Mhlakela, history is full of failed predictions about the Lord’s return. But why do Christians keep falling for them? In this episode, we unpack three biblical lessons: why dreams and visions can’t replace Scripture, how Jesus’ divine and human natures explain His words about not knowing the hour, and what it truly means to live ready for His return. God hasn’t given us the date—because He wants us to walk by faith, not sight.

In Zimbabwe and across much of Africa, citizens often fear the very authorities meant to protect them. Police extortion, bribery, and corruption have become so normal that people instinctively avoid law enforcement. But what does Scripture say about such evil? In this episode, we expose the spiritual roots and devastating effects of extortion—from impoverishing the hard-working to eroding trust in authority. Drawing from John the Baptist’s call to repentance and Paul’s teaching in Romans 13, we confront this sin head-on and explore what true justice and humility before God look like. Corruption may thrive—but its end is certain.

As South Africa prepares to host the G20 Summit, an Interfaith Forum has called for global “unity” among religious leaders—including Christians, Catholics, and Mormons—to promote peace. But where should believers draw the line between cooperation and compromise? In this episode, we unpack the tension between civic partnership and spiritual purity. From Joseph in Egypt to Daniel in Babylon, Scripture shows that Christians can engage with unbelievers in society without sacrificing truth. How do we stay salt and light in the public square—while refusing to blur the gospel’s boundaries?

Across the world—and especially in Africa—there are more boys alive today than ever before. By 2050, 40% of the world’s children will live on the continent. But what kind of men will they become? In this episode, we explore why boys matter—biblically, historically, and culturally. From Isaac and Samuel to Patrick, Tyndale, and David, Scripture and church history remind us that strong nations are built on godly men. How can families, churches, and communities raise boys who love Christ, lead with courage, and reject the world’s confusion about masculinity? The future depends on the boys we build today.
