Dying to Live Podcast

Sleep is something we all need, yet it is often one of the first things we neglect. In a world that celebrates busyness and productivity, many people struggle to find the right balance between work, rest, and recreation. Some wear sleep deprivation as a badge of honour, while others find themselves battling fatigue, oversleeping, or poor sleep habits that affect every area of life. But what does t...

As our parents grow older, many of us find ourselves stepping into a role we never expected—the role of caregiver. What begins with helping out here and there can gradually become a journey filled with difficult decisions, emotional strain, and complex family dynamics. When age-related illnesses such as dementia enter the picture, the challenges can multiply. Questions arise about safety, independ...

There comes a moment in every boy's life when childhood begins to give way to manhood. It doesn't happen overnight, and it rarely follows a straight line. One day they're playing with toys; the next they're wrestling with questions about purpose, strength, leadership, relationships, responsibility, and who they are becoming. For Christian parents, these years can be both rewarding and daunting. Te...

Grace is one of the most beautiful truths in the Christian faith. We are saved by grace, sustained by grace, and transformed by grace. Yet throughout church history there has been an ongoing tension between the biblical doctrine of grace and the danger of turning grace into a licence for sin. In this episode, we are joined by Mike D'Offay and Luke Hulley, both elders within the life of Joshua Gene...

Money is one of the most talked-about subjects in the Bible. From stewardship and generosity to debt, contentment, wealth, and wise planning, Scripture gives us practical wisdom for handling finances in a way that honors God. In this episode, we are joined by our special guests, Dave James and Hayley Friend, who will help us unpack what God's Word teaches about money and how we can apply these pri...

Raising teenage girls has never been easy, but many parents would argue that it has never been more challenging than it is today. We live in a world that is constantly competing for the hearts, minds, and identity of our daughters. Through social media, entertainment, peer pressure, and shifting cultural values, young women are being bombarded with messages about who they should be, what they shou...

What do we really mean when we say, "God is in control"? It's a phrase Christians often use, especially in times of uncertainty, suffering, or disappointment. But what exactly is the sovereignty of God? Does it mean that God determines every detail of life? How does His sovereignty relate to our choices, our prayers, our obedience, and our relationship with Him? And if God is truly sovereign, shou...

Because the strongest leaders are not driven by titles, ambition, or recognition. They are sons first — secure enough to serve, humble enough to learn, and faithful enough to follow before they ever lead others. Great leadership begins with good followership. The best leaders are teachable, accountable, and willing to walk under authority before they are entrusted with authority. They understand t...

We often sit down with guests who have walked through the joys, struggles, victories and disappointments of life, ministry, marriage and calling… and ask a simple but powerful question: What would you say to your younger self? What would you do differently? What lessons were learned the hard way? How has time, experience and faith changed the way you see life today? In this episode, Steve and Cath...

In this episode  we’re looking at something that quietly slips into our churches and our hearts — legalism. What is it, really? Because the Bible is clear. In books like Galatians and Colossians, Paul warned not to add human rules to what God has already said. Legalism is more than strictness — it’s adding to Scripture, creating extra ‘do’s and don’ts,’ and then measuring spirituality by them. And...

In our previous episode, we spent time exploring one of the most important and personal questions every believer asks at some point in life: “How do I find God’s will for my life?” We looked at what Scripture teaches, we talked about guidance, obedience, wisdom, and the role of God’s Word, prayer, and counsel in discerning His direction. That conversation clearly resonated, because many of you rea...

In this episode we tackle one of the most common and deeply personal questions many believers ask: How do I know God’s will for my life? hould I take this job? Should I move to another city? Should I marry this person? Should I start this ministry? Many live with uncertainty, anxiety, or even fear, wondering if they might somehow miss God’s will. Others are waiting for a sign, a feeling, a prophec...

In a world where marriage is increasingly undervalued, many Christian couples who long for children find themselves facing difficult and emotional decisions when pregnancy does not come easily. Modern medicine offers a range of assisted pregnancy options, but these can raise important biblical and ethical questions. What should a couple do when they are struggling to conceive? What choices are ava...

We are living in a confusing time for men. On one side, men are told to step back, soften, and suppress strength. On the other side, when they step forward, they are accused of being controlling or toxic. Many men feel caught between emasculation and accusation. But the real question is not: “What does society say a man should be?” The real question is: “What kind of man does God call a man to be?...

The church has always been called to care for the poor. From the Old Testament to the early church, Scripture makes it clear that compassion for those in need is not optional—it is part of faithful Christian living. We are called to show mercy, to give generously, and to help those who are suffering. But the church also has a unique mission. It is not simply a social agency or a government program...

In this episode Chantelle Searle and Kim Muller talk about real biblical hospitality. What is it? Where do we begin? And is it for everyone? When we read the Bible, hospitality is not an optional extra—it is part of normal Christian life. In Romans 12, we are told to practice hospitality, and in 1 Peter 4, to offer hospitality without grumbling. Hospitality flows from the gospel, because Christ fi...

Today’s episode is a powerful and deeply moving story of transformation. Our guest today is Zaib, a young woman who grew up in a very strict Muslim family. From an early age, her life was shaped by fear, rules, and the weight of religious expectations. But God had a different story written for her life. In this episode, Zaib courageously shares her journey — a journey from fear to freedom. She tel...

This is Part Two of our series on leadership and biblical authority, where we turn our attention to how we follow. In Part One, we explored biblical authority — leadership that is stewarded, not owned, and authority that builds people rather than controlling them. But leadership is only half of the picture. Scripture also speaks about how believers respond to leadership, and what healthy, godly su...

In this episode, we’re looking at biblical authority — what it is, how it’s meant to function, and how leaders can exercise it without slipping into control. Scripture reminds us in Romans 13 that all authority ultimately comes from God. That means leadership authority is not something we own — it’s something we steward. It is delegated, and it is accountable. From the beginning, authority was tie...

In a world that is increasingly diverse, the church often finds itself navigating the complexities of culture, identity, and belonging. But our goal is not simply to build culturally diverse churches. Diversity alone is not the destination. This podcast explores a deeper pursuit — the formation of a Christ culture. We believe the church is called to be a community shaped first and foremost by Jesu...

A new year brings fresh plans and new possibilities. But what if the year behind you was painful? What if disappointment or loss has made trusting God for the future feel incredibly hard? How do we exercise faith when our confidence has been shaken? How do we plan wisely for a new year while still living surrendered to God? Is there a way to hold vision in one hand and trust in the other? And what...

What happens when leaders fall? Not just quietly—but publicly, painfully, and in ways that ripple through families, churches, and entire movements. We’ve seen it again and again in the news: moral failure, abuse of power, silence, denial… and the fallout that follows when issues aren’t dealt with biblically.  But here’s the harder question—at what point does ignoring failure become endorsement? An...

Every Janu-WORRY (as some people refer to it) we’re told it’s time for a reset. New year, new goals, new habits, new us. But spiritually, many of us step into the new year carrying the same questions, the same struggles, the same disappointments—and the same old selves. We pray, we hope, we try again, yet sometimes nothing feels new at all.  So what does God actually expect of us? Is the new year...

What is discipleship, really? It’s not a program or a checklist—it’s a relationship. Discipleship is learning to follow Jesus and inviting others to walk with Him too. It happens through proximity, conversation, and modeling a life shaped by Christ. Jesus didn’t just teach truth—He lived it in front of people. He invited others into His life, showed them what obedience looked like, and sent them o...

Deliverance is a word that often brings confusion, curiosity, or even fear. For some, it’s associated with dramatic encounters and intense moments. For others, it raises honest questions they’ve never felt free to ask. Today, we want to slow down and bring clarity. In this episode, we’re de-mystifying deliverance. What is deliverance? What are demons? Can a believer have a demon? And what’s the di...
