On today's episode we have a very special guest, the Reverend Father Francis Chitambo! And we are talking about spiritual warfare.  With this being the season finale, it felt only right to bring on a man of God and touch on something so integral to our walk with Jesus. Spiritual warfare is very much a part of every Christian's life and this episode answers some of the pressing questions you may have on the topic. From generational curses to putting on the full armour of God, Father Francis...

Pornography has become one of the most widely indulged forms of "entertainment", generating about $97 billion annually.  Porn and masturbation go hand in hand like bread and butter. While it may seem like an innocent pastime, this particular form of bondage is detrimental to the spiritual growth and walk of a Christian.  On this episode of the podcast (with our guest Brother Beni) we take a deep dive into addiction to porn and masturbation. While it may seem harmless enough, we should be...

The Parable of the Prodigal son perfectly highlights the reality of what it means to backslide as a Christian. It also shows the perfect love of our Father and how He forgives us and holds nothing against us. From the son who blatantly left the house of his father, to the son who stayed home and grew a resentful heart, we can all (at some point in our lives) identify with either son. Let's dive deep into our first Bible study and open our hearts to receiving the Word of God. I pray this...

After being falsely accused of murder, Panji spent a year in Mukobeko prison in Kabwe.  Panji finishes off his powerful testimony in this episode. He shares about finding Jesus in prison, prison life, going through divorce in prison, fellow inmates and life after prison. This testimony communicates how intentional God is and that He can indeed be trusted. I am confident this episode will bless you and help you bloom in Christ wherever you are in your journey. Thanks for tuning in! We hope...

In this episode, Panji shares his incredible testimony with us. He was falsely accused of murder and incarcerated at Mukubeko Maximum Security Prison. As someone who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, the prison conditions were harsh and unfamiliar. Whilst in prison, Panji found Jesus and his story, with all its twists and turns, is truly a testimony to how intentional God is and how He only has good plans for us, we need only trust Him and trust His process. I pray this episode...

Join me and our guest, Natasha, as we dive into her testimony that involves being a sugar baby and adultery. I am amazed by the grace that is evident in her life and it is incredible how the Lord has transformed her and her life.  God really is the King of taking what the enemy meant for evil and turning it for good. And it's not only that, His grace once you repent is amazing.  You are never too far gone for God. There is no mess too big for Him to fix. He is love. And He loves us...

I remember fasting with more than a little hesitation for the first time. I suffered from gastritis and was convinced the fast would eat my stomach from the inside out. Unbeknownst to me, that fast would be the beginning of a fervent life of fasting AND having my gastritis healed by the Lord.  In Matthew 6:16-18 Jesus said "when you fast" not "if you fast", so we definitely know every Christian is expected to fast. It is an integral Christian discipline that enables us to become well rounded...

Tehillah shares her experience from an abusive relationship she was in and how the Lord revived her and is healing her from it.    1 Corinthians 13:4-8 reads Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love never fails.   This verse is the perfect standard to determine whether we are loving others or being loved as God...

This is our first episode with a guest, MWANSA!!! Yaaay. And it is also our first episode that is a little heavy, so please be aware that viewer discretion is advised.  Sexual Immorality is the only sin we are encouraged to flee from as it is a sin against our own bodies (1 Cor 16:18). Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 16:19-20) and hopefully this conversation with Mwansa can help you realise that.  We live in a society that sales sex and glamourises bondage. Therefore, as...

What better place to start than with entertainment? My life completely changed when I switched up what I was allowing into my ear and eye gates. I found it easier to hear from God, get rid of certain stumbling blocks and the resulting peace definitely surpassed all human understanding.  I used to believe that Christian entertainment was boring, but I now know that that had more to do with me being spiritually blind than anything else, because HOW can anything that glorifies the Lord be...

Revelation 12:11 says "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony". Testimony is a key component in overcoming the enemy. It gives hope and inspires those still struggling with similar sins, challenges, situations etc. that it is possible to overcome them.  Chloe shares her testimony with you hoping that you will be inspired to overcome similar forms of bondage in your life and to know that Jesus Christ is Lord over everything. Through Him, you can be a...
