Dying to Live Podcast

Joshua Generation Church

The paradox of the Christian faith involves losing one's life to find it and dying to oneself to gain it (Mark 8:34-35). As citizens of heaven we work, study, love and live here on the earth. The podcast features real conversations aimed at helping believers live for Christ while being grounded in the truth as they navigate life in this secular world. Hosted by Wayne Turner and Nadene Badenhorst for Joshua Generation Church with Michael d'Offay giving eldership oversight.
