This is a continuation of Episode 160 as we discuss Faith vs Reality. In this episode we discuss: - How do we practically live by faith in the face of contesting realities - Does faith mean the answer is always yes? what If God doesn’t heal or give the response that we expected, is it always because of a lack of faith - Jesus says in Jon 14:14 You may Ask for anything in my name and I will do it?

At times as Christians we often struggle to believe or hold on to what the word of God says when the reality on the ground seems to be other wise. How do you apply faith in difficult situations? It seems like sometimes as Christians we are often acceptors of reality rather than changers of reality through our faith. Peter when Jesus was walking on water towards the boat he asked Jesus , if it was him to call him so he can walk on water too, and Jesus called him to come and he walked briefly on water until he faced the reality of the wind and the storm and he doubted and began to sink. Jesus attributes his sinking to a lack of faith. How do we build our faith such that we are those who walk by faith and not by sight in a world that throws everything at us? It’s easier said than done, but still possible because we are called to be those who live by faith. Have a listen and join the conversation... Radiant Culture

When we first become believers and followers of Jesus we have such a passion for the the things of God and a hunger to grow spiritually. However when we reach a certain level of spiritual maturity we tend to get complacent and become less hungry to grow in our faith, at times our faith even diminishes. In the New Testament there’s a consistent call to believers for spiritual maturity and growth especially in Hebrews. That means consistently seeking to grow in our Faith moving from milk (elementary principles of faith) to meat (Substance and spiritual maturity). How do we get going again and rekindle a passion to continue to grow in the things of God? Radiant Culture

In this episode we are joined by Shingai Kuwaza as we discuss what it REALLY means to follow Jesus. Jesus came, pointed us to Truth and Life, proclaimed He is the way and called us to follow Him. This is essentially what Christianity is all about, but what does it really mean to follow Jesus? To what extent? Jesus didn't really concern himself with the hustles and pursuits of this world, the luxurious living, the worldly ambitions, but was humble and all about the Father's business. Should Christians be the same? The apostles left everything to follow Jesus, He commanded the rich young ruler to sell everything he had and follow him, are we literally meant to do the same?

In this Episode we sit down with Pastor Craig Ndoro as we discuss what it really means to live by faith.The bible says without FAITH its impossible to please God. Faith is central to the Gospel, so crucial yet seems like a very difficult thing to grasp, possess or keep. how do you practically grow in Faith? The bible encourages us to live by faith not by sight, what does this mean on a practical level? There's also a thin line between faith and foolishness, and the word calls us to be prudent and wise. How do we differentiate living by faith and foolishness. When should we exercise faith in the supernatural, and when do we just need to be practical?

In this episode we discuss sexual abuse and spiritual manipulation in the church. Spiritual manipulation is a technique used by abusive churches and leaders to control individuals and acquire personal gain. There are religious leaders who take Scriptures out of context to support their agenda. They isolate “proof texts” and “cherry pick” and dissect verses to persuade the uninformed that their interpretation is right, even to the extent of claiming they alone have “the truth” and everybody else is wrong. This creates an environment ripe for abuses to take place. Unfortunately instances of molestation in the church, across all denominations are far too many. Leaders abuse their authority for sexual gain. Often victims have been brainwashed and groomed or for various reasons feel that they stand to lose too much by coming forward. How can a victim go about seeking justice and freedom from such a situation? What is the process of healing and restoration when a place or person meant to protect you like a shepherd abuses you? How can we as congregants be more aware that there is spiritual manipulation taking place? Is the answer always to leave, knowing that abuses may continue?

We continue the discussion with Pastor Craig Ndoro and Pastor Sean Mullens from part 1. Does the New testament nullify or bring to an end some of the old Testament practices such as giving of the tithes and first fruits? Has God’s expectation with regards to giving changed? Malachi presents some very serious consequences for not giving and very attractive blessings for those who give their tithes and offerings, does this still apply? Also what is the difference between giving and sowing? Are they the same? Giving implies generosity whereas sowing implies an investment, yet we receive something out of both i.e. Give and it shall be given back to you (Luke 6:38) and you reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7, 1 Corinth 9:11)?

In this episode we discuss giving Tithes and First Fruits with Pastor Craig Ndoro and Pastor Sean Mullens as we begin a series of episodes on Old vs New Testament. Are there practices in the Old Testament that do not apply in the New Testament? In this episode we focus on Giving Tithes and offerings. Giving is highly encouraged in the NT and the OT however with a different emphasis. The OT seems to imply that giving generously to the poor was over and above the required giving of the tithes and first fruits etc. whereas in the NT, giving to the poor seems to be the core focus. Does the NT nullify or bring an end to the way of giving taught in the OT, i.e is the systematic giving of tithes and offerings still required? We know that the sin and guilt offerings were abolished by the work of the cross, what about tithes, free will offerings, first fruits, are these still required? There is hardly any instruction on tithes and first fruits in the NT, does this mean these are no longer required and replaced with giving towards the work of the Gospel and giving to the poor?

We discuss how we can evaluate whether a prophetic word is True or Not. Steve Blomefield's 1997 prophecy on Zimbabwe seems to have been fulfilled, does this then necessarily make Cindy Jacobs one innacurate? What value do these prophecies bring to the believer’s own life and the church as a whole? Should the ordinary believer even pay attention to these prophetic words?

In this episode we sit down with pastor Craig Ndoro as we discuss "Faith and Works". The bible says faith without works is dead. But there's also the guy who hung on the cross next to Jesus who entered paradise, but he didn't necessarily have a lifetime of works. He just had one moment with the Savior and that was enough. We learn from the bible that it is by grace we are saved and not works so no one can boast. However, the same bible tells us that each one will be rewarded according to his/her works (Revelation 2:23). How important are these works to God and what are works anyway? What can be considered works? Just being a goodie, being kind and generous? Or its more feeding orphans and widows; evangelising and serving in church.

Are we still walking the talk or has Christianity become a lifestyle brand that we put on and off when its convenient? # Blessed, #BlameItOnJesus # GodsChild. Where do we draw the line between showing off and testifying the goodness of God? Are we seeing a rise in people having a form of Godliness yet denying the power as written in 2 Timothy 3:1-5? Okay so maybe we are judging and some will say "Dont Judge me, only Jesus can judge me" Is this a valid excuse or is this scripture being taken out of context?

In this episode we discuss some of the questions many of us Christians have on prayer. Prayer is a very complex subject for many Christians. Its often clouded in mystery and various doctrines make it sound like a secret art, while others make it seem like a magic wand that can solve all your problems. Its often not seen as cool enough by millenial christians who are used to receiving likes and follows and prayer hardly seems to give them that kind of instant feedback.What is prayer, its role and importance in our lives? Why and how should we pray? Does God answer all prayers or just the ones he is pleased with? How do we get our prayers answered?

Over the past 15 years or so, Zimbabweans suffered as the economy struggled, families seperated or even torn apart. Infact world over we see innocent people suffering at the hands of a few. Why does God allow it? Is it part of his will or suffering is just a consequence of peoples action? Must those affected just forgive and forget? What needs to happen for healing to take place? Radiant Culture

As Radiant Culture we cannot ignore the incredible events that took place over the past few weeks that have ushered in a "New" Zimbabwe. The international community described it as a "Soft Coup", but could it have been a Coup if the citizens were behind the Military intervention? Whatever it was, it brought with it a sense of unity,hope and purpose to a people that had been politically, socially and racially divided. The main question remains for most christians- was this a direct act of God or just the people deciding enough is enough? Who did it? We have a chat with Sean Mullens about this. Have a listen. Radiant Culture

On this Episode we have a chat with Pastor Keith Mawoyo and we discuss the conflict between our personal desires and ambitions and God's will. Where do our dreams and ambitions fit in God's plan? Most of us desire to do big things, make our mark in soceity and accumulate wealth but that often is in conflict with what the bible says God's will is.

Radiant Culture

In this episode we discuss the relationshop between faith and leadership especially in politics. Do christians make better leaders? Will people really see the change they want if Christians are voted into leadership? The Bible talks about how God is the one who places people in positions of authority hence the command to submit to the authorities. Does that mean that your vote doesnt count, if God has already chosen the leader? Should christians even think about voting? Have a listen and join the conversation.. Radiant Culture

In this episode we pick up from where we left off in the previous episode as we discuss the application of the christian faith in business. Can entrepreneurs with strong christian values make it in the cut-throat world of business? What areas of business should christians avoid? How do we deal with Kick backs, bribes etc? We also address the concept of "tent making" for pastors, a concept where Pastors of congregations run a business during the week and still fulfill their pastoral duties after hours and on weekends. How feasible is it? Radiant Culture

In this Episode its a Guys affair with Kuki-Monsta and Biscuit running the show as T-Mak takes a lil break. We are joined by one of Zimbabwes best Cinematograhpers, Clemence Wonder, as we address this contentious question. What did Jesus really mean in john 15:18-25 by saying that the world will hate us? Does that mean as Christians we shouldn't seek popularity? Have listen, enjoy and share. Radiant Culture

Kuki-Monsta is back! In this episode we discuss whether Christians should be radiant or relevant to pop culture, or maybe both. As believers we are called to be the light (Radiant) of the world right? So how can we be radiant if we are relevant (blend in) to culture? At the sametime how do we reach out to the world if we are not relevant to the world? further more how to we become relavant without being absorbed by "worldly culture". That's the dilemma we face.

Is Tasha Cobbs striving to be relevant inorder to be radiant?Have a listen to this interesting episode. Radiant Culture

We continue from episode 36 as we discuss the relationship between Christianity and African culture. Now that we have adopted the Christian faith what does this mean with regards to our culture.Christianity was brought by western Missionaries, and with it they brought their own culture and traditions.

What was wrong with that way of worship in comparison to the Christian faith? Have a listen as Pastor Gatsi shares from his own experience why he abandoned African religion and became a Christian. Radiant Culture

In this episode we discuss the African identity crisis. One of the effects of colonisation is that it stripped us of some of our original African identity. Our culture has been diluted and infuenced by western culture. However there is a growing group of africans who now want to rediscover their identity as africans, but its not as simple as just discarding the influence of wersten culture. We have 2 awesome guests in the studio who help us unpack this topic and discuss how this has an impact on Christian Africans. Radiant Culture

How do we as Christians deal with spiritual things? In this Episode we mainly focus on Angels and on the follow up episode we will dig deeper into demons. Radiant Culture

In this Episode we are joined by Bishop Albert Chikuni as we discuss a very hot topic "The Prosperity Gospel". Is prosperity really part of the Gospel message that Jesus taught or is it a seperate gospel altogether. Should Christians be seeking to be prosperous here on earth or should we be more concerned about the prosperity waiting for us in heaven as is written in Matthew 6:19 to not store your treasure here on earth... If not, why is there so much emphasis by most preachers on earthly prosperity? Also Is prosperity dependant on sowing seed to a "Man of God" Radiant Culture

Its part II of the previous epsiode and we continue the discussion on Social Media and its role in a christians life. We focus more on "selfies", what is the intention and dont we run the risk of projecting a false impression of who we really are to the public, thereby being hypocrites instead of "the Light of the world". We still have our guests from the lasy episode, Chido and Tashinga. Radiant Culture

In this episode we discuss the role of social media in a christian's life, what's the good, what's the bad and what sets us apart from the world in today's selfie generation. We are joined by two amazing young people as our guests, Chido and Tashinga. Most people on social media are seeking to gain popularity, approval and show off their latest acqisitions (or borrowings for some, lol). Should this be the same for christians? Is the selfie culture suitable for the kingdom, can it really be part of the kingdom culture? #IAmBlessed show off pics. Also how effective can evangelism be on social media? How can Christians effectively be the light on Social media without seeming vain, self centred or "worldly"? #ForwardThisIfYouLoveJesus Radiant Culture

In this episode we have a chat with Valerie Chingonzo (World title winning model) and Belinda Chaora (fashion entrepreneur) about fashion and if it's possible for christians to balance being trendy and being modest as paul advises in 1 Timothy 2:9. Should christians even be thinking about being fashionable? Does God really care about how we dress or is he just after the heart? On one extreme you have christians who lose their fashion sense altogether when they become christians and on the other you have those who go overboard with their dressing in the name of dressing up for Jesus. Does focusing on Jesus mean we lose our desire to look good and fashionable? Have a listen to this very interesting discussion. Radiant Culture
