Dying to Live Podcast

Joshua Generation Church 155 Episodes Nov 2, 2026

The Dying to Live Podcast explores the paradox of the Christian faith, where losing one's life leads to finding it and dying to oneself brings true gain. Hosted by Wayne Turner and Nadene Badenhorst for Joshua Generation Church, it features real conversations aimed at helping believers remain grounded in truth while navigating life in a secular world. The show emphasizes living for Christ as citizens of heaven in everyday work, study, and relationships. Michael d'offay provides eldership oversight for the podcast.
