En hoe bly jy getrou aan Jesus wanneer jy voel asof jy alleen staan?

Let me know your thoughts! Baie mense dink woorde is “net woorde” — maar die Bybel leer dat dood en lewe in die mag van die tong lê. In hierdie diep en konfronterende episode van The Prodigal Daughter Podcast praat Nicole Viljoen oor: skinder en kwaadspraak, bitterheid en jaloesie, die geestelike gewig van ons woorde, hoe mense met hul monde vernietig, en hoe God ons roep om lewe te spreek in plaa...

Let me know your thoughts! We spend so much of our lives trying to control things God never gave us authority over—people, outcomes, and timing. And when it doesn’t work, we become anxious, frustrated, and exhausted. In this episode of The Prodigal Daughter , we unpack a powerful truth: the only control God gives you… is self-control. Through biblical teaching, real-life examples, and the life of...

Let me know your thoughts! Ons spandeer soveel van ons lewens om dinge te probeer beheer waarvoor God ons nooit gesag gegee het nie—mense, uitkomste en tydsberekening. En wanneer dit nie werk nie, raak ons angstig, gefrustreerd en emosioneel uitgeput. In hierdie episode van The Prodigal Daughter ontbloot ons ’n kragtige Bybelse waarheid: die enigste beheer wat God jou gee… is selfbeheersing. Deur...

Let me know your thoughts! God is not looking at your image.  He’s looking at your heart. In this episode of The Prodigal Daughter , we go beyond surface-level Christianity and step into the uncomfortable truth: God tests hearts. Not your words.  Not your actions alone.  Your motives. We unpack:  Why God allows testing   What your reactions reveal about you   The danger of a divided heart   How hi...

Let me know your thoughts! Many people say, “I’m sorry, God…” — but never truly repent. In this powerful episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast , we confront the hard truth about the difference between feeling sorry and real repentance . This is not about emotion, guilt, or temporary regret — this is about true transformation . Through real-life application and biblical insight, we uncover why s...

Let me know your thoughts! Your Body Is a Temple… But Not the Way You Think We’ve heard it our whole lives: “Your body is a temple.” But somewhere along the way, that truth was reduced to diet plans, gym routines, and surface-level Christianity. In this episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast , we go deeper. This is not about health tips.  This is about holiness, ownership, and the presence of Go...

Let me know your thoughts! Sy het nie gepreek nie.  Sy het nie geprotesteer nie.  Sy het nie ’n titel gehad nie. Maar sy het geweier om te beweeg. In hierdie diepgaande episode kyk ons na die verhaal van Rizpah in 2 Samuel 21 (afr1953) — ’n moeder wie se stille volharding ’n hele nasie geraak het. Toe ’n hongersnood Israel tref as gevolg van Saul se sonde, is sewe onskuldige seuns tereggestel. Ond...

Let me know your thoughts! She never preached.  She never protested.  She never held a position of power. But she refused to move. In this deeply powerful episode, we uncover the story of Rizpah in 2 Samuel 21 (NKJV) — a grieving mother whose silent endurance shifted a nation. When famine struck Israel because of Saul’s past sin, seven innocent sons were executed. Among them were Rizpah’s own chil...

Let me know your thoughts! “Onthou Lot se vrou.” Drie woorde.  Een waarskuwing.  ’n Boodskap wat baie mense miskyk — maar wat Jesus doelbewus herhaal het. In hierdie episode van The Prodigal Daughter Podcast kyk ons eerlik na ’n moeilike waarheid: om fisies weg te stap beteken nie jy het geestelik laat gaan nie. Lot se vrou het uit Sodom gevlug,  maar haar hart het agtergebly.  Sy is nie geoordeel...

Let me know your thoughts! “Remember Lot’s Wife.” Three words.  One warning.  A message many overlook — but Jesus deliberately repeated. In this episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast , we confront a hard truth: leaving physically is not the same as letting go spiritually. Lot’s wife escaped Sodom, but her heart never left.  She wasn’t judged for curiosity — she was judged for attachment . This...

Let me know your thoughts! Geloof word maklik bely, maar gehoorsaamheid word dikwels uitgestel. In hierdie episode van The Prodigal Daughter Podcast ondersoek ons die verskil tussen om in God te glo en om Hom werklik te volg.

Let me know your thoughts! In hierdie ernstige en hart-ontblotende episode van The Prodigal Daughter Podcast word ’n vraag gevra wat baie gelowiges vermy, maar min kan ontduik: dien ons werklik God, of het ons ons geloof stilweg gevorm om te verwag dat God ons moet dien? Hierdie is nie ’n motiveringsboodskap nie. Dit is ’n waarskuwing en ’n herlynning. Met diep Skrifondersoek, Bybelse konteks en e...

Let me know your thoughts! In this sobering episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast , we confront a question many believers avoid but few can escape: do we truly serve God, or have we quietly reshaped our faith to expect Him to serve us? This is not a motivational message. It is a heart-exposing teaching that challenges outcome-driven Christianity, transactional faith, and the subtle ways obedien...

Let me know your thoughts! Ons leef in ’n wêreld wat opgaring vier — meer geld, meer titels, meer beheer, meer sekuriteit. Tog is baie gelowiges innerlik moeg, angstig en geestelik oorlaai deur juis dit wat hulle gedink het hulle sou beskerm. In hierdie episode van The Prodigal Daughter Podcast word ’n moeilike maar bevrydende waarheid aangespreek: ons besit niks . Deur Skrif, Bybelse karakters en...

Let me know your thoughts! We live in a world that celebrates accumulation — more money, more titles, more control, more security. Yet beneath the surface, many believers are exhausted, anxious, and spiritually burdened by the very things they thought would protect them. In this episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast , we confront a hard but freeing truth: we own nothing . From Scripture to real...

Let me know your thoughts! Skinderpraatjies is nie onskuldige gesprekke nie.  Dit is geestelike oorlogvoering vermom as “bekommernis”. In hierdie onverskrokke episode word een van die mees verdraagsaamde, maar vernietigendste sondes in die kerk direk aangespreek — skinder , ongedissiplineerde spraak en verkeerde verhoudings. Die Skrif is duidelik: woorde is nooit neutraal nie. Hulle dra gesag, gev...

Let me know your thoughts! Gossip is not harmless conversation.  It is spiritual warfare disguised as concern. In this uncompromising episode, we confront one of the most tolerated yet destructive sins in the church — gossip , careless speech, and alignment with the wrong people. Scripture makes it clear: words are not neutral. They carry authority, consequence, and spiritual weight. This teaching...

Let me know your thoughts! In this episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast , we journey through the life of Joseph — not just the miracle moments we celebrate, but the painful, silent, confusing seasons that shaped him.

Let me know your thoughts! This powerful and confronting episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast dives deep into the spiritual danger of denial, excuses, pride, and hidden sin.

Let me know your thoughts! In hierdie intense en eerlike episode van The Prodigal Daughter Podcast gaan ons diep in op die geestelike gevaar van ontkenning, verskonings, trots en geheime sonde. Die Bybel wys duidelik dat God nie kan genees wat ons wegsteek nie — en dat genade wag op dié wat hul foute eerlik bely. Ons ondersoek die lewe van Bybelse figure wat verantwoordelikheid geneem het en herst...

Let me know your thoughts! Bad habits rarely look dangerous at first.  They arrive quietly… disguised as coping mechanisms, personality traits, or “just how I am.”  But over time, these small patterns pull us away from God, weaken our identity, and slowly turn into sin that numbs our spirit. In this powerful episode, Nicole — The Prodigal Daughter — dives deep into how habits form, how the enemy u...
