  • Saturated with scripture

    Every time I listen to one of the podcasts on missions and family I find myself challenged and convicted. This podcast is saturated with scripture and overflows with a God-honouring desire to see families grow in godliness and the unreached come to know the saving love of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ! The Africa review brings a much needed aspect of worldview isssues from an African perspective!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MM 125: 10 Steps for a Young Man to Find a Wife (Part 2 of 2)
Q: What is the first step a man should take when considering pursuing a potential wife?
He should ensure the woman is a believer (a 'sheep' not a 'goat'), place himself in settings where he can meet other Christians, and begin with prayer and discernment.
MM 127: How Can I Tell if my Children Are Saved?
Q: How should parents and church involve others in assessing a child's faith?
Involve elders, teachers, siblings, and even peers in conversations and observations to gain a multi-faceted view of the child's spiritual life and to guard against parental bias or social pressure.
MM 127: How Can I Tell if my Children Are Saved?
Q: What signs indicate a child is genuinely saved and ready for baptism?
Look for the ability to articulate the gospel, repentance from sin, love for Christ and Scripture, and visible fruit such as engagement with the church and humble service, not just obedience or rote answers.
MM 127: How Can I Tell if my Children Are Saved?
Q: What is the biblical model for baptism in light of a child's profession of faith?
The panel argues that baptism should follow a credible profession of faith, with emphasis on articulation of the gospel, understanding of sin and salvation, and observable life change, rather than rushing to baptize on a simple assent.
