In this episode we sit done with renowned Southern African Music Executive Blahtee Muchemwa as we discuss The Christian Music scene and how it’s changed over the years? Has Christian music “conformed” to the world.

Has the message in Christian music been diluted? We discuss this and more. Have a listen and join the conversation.

In this episode we discuss staying the course in your spiritual walk. As we kick start the year its like a new start, new season for most people. We make goals, we fast and pray for God’s blessing and guidance as we navigate the year but then reality soon happens and sometimes we drift away or the fire dwindles. How do we guard against that and keep the passion and zeal going? We discuss the benefits of fasting at the beginning of the year, is it helpful or just a ritual we do at the beginning of the year? What we should intentionally put in place to ensure we stay the course and see growth in our spiritual walk. Have a listen and join the conversation...

Have a listen and join the conversation

In this episode we discuss Celebrity Culture in the Church. Is there a place for celebrity culture in the christian community? Should Christians be lining up to get selfies with them and regarding them as celebrities just like the world regards secular personalities or should they be regarded as just vessels pointing people to Christ?

Is beauty a quality that bachelors should mostly consider when looking for a wife? Have a listen, a good laugh and join the conversation...

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? What role does the sovereignty of God play in the things we believe and ask God for? Have a listen and join the conversation

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...

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?

We live in an age where people are increasingly rejecting objective truth& God’s truth for their own personal truths. In this episode we discuss what is the danger in this new movement? What ways does it contribute to creating a more selfish society? How does it affect how people engage with God’s Word? If it’s all about “my truth” could we not ultimately end up doing away with God’s word completely? How can Christian’s walk in wisdom concerning this and ensure they don’t get caught up in this movement?

There is a  movement currently trending in society called “Cancel Culture” which sees individuals  being “cancelled” by society for things they have either said or done. What defines this movement called “cancel culture”? Can Christians take part in it and still remain Christians? And how can Christian’s prevent the fear of being "cancelled" from impacting how they share the Gospel? Have a listen and join the conversation.

Recently, American preacher, Creflo Dollar preached a sermon titled “The Great Misunderstanding” in which he claimed that tithing is part of the Old Testament and is not necessary for Christians under the New Covenant. He then went on to urge his congregants to destroy his teachings on the topic. What did he mean by this? Is tithing really an “Old Testament thing” that we are to abandon completely? And what effect does it have on followers of Christ when ministers revoke their teaching like this? Have a listen and join the conversation.

In this episode, continuing from their discussion on society’s craving for social validation, T-Mak and Kuki Monsta are joined by renowned gospel artist and social influencer, Tembalami, to talk about Christian social influencing. How do Christian’s use social media to positively influence others and share the Gospel? Is there a point in doing so? How can Christians keep from getting swept up in trends, compromising the Truth and succumbing to the pressure to seek validation from society? Have a listen and join the conversation.

In our world today, with things like social media constantly measuring us, there's constant pressure to publish our successes and accomplishments and look our best. As a result we live in a state of constant performance, seeking validation from society. But how does Christianity address society's need for constant validation? Have a listen and join the conversation.

In this episode we discuss How to Connect Your Faith With Your Career. For some people the only true "Christian" career is being a pastor, but not everyone can be or is even called to be a pastor. So what about the rest of us? How do we pursue God and share the gospel in our various fields be it business, film or architecture? How do we apply our faith at work and is there such a thing as an ungodly or godly career, or is a "Christian" career what you make it?Have a listen and join the conversation.

In this episode we discuss how to find the right church to call home. You may have moved cities, left your church for various reasons or you have just become a Christian.

What counsel should you seek in finding one?Have a listen and join the conversation..

In this episode we are joined by Pastor Craig Ndoro as we discuss rekindling the fire from when we got saved. Life happens, challenges come, we get knocked down, get up, backslide, and come back toy the faith. Somehow we manage to hold on to the faith but without that zeal and passion we had before. How do we rekindle that passion for the things of God, for Jesus and the Gospel? We are meant to be moving in power, from Gory to Glory and not just holding on to our faith.

Radiant Culture celebrates 5 years and in this 150th episode we reflect on the journey and experience so far.

How do we know when God speaks that it is truly him not our subconscious mind? Many times we say or hear people saying God said to me, or God told me this about you.

How do we test the spirits as the bible tells us? Have a listen and join the conversation..

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? Have a listen and join the conversation

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? Case in point when someone is sick but refuses medical attention because they believe God will heal them and visiting the doctor is deemed a lack of Faith that God can heal them. Have a listen

In the Bible Jesus says "Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him." How much power do our words really have? Can we really speak things into existence as the scripture suggests? Can we really decree and declare and it happens?

In this episode we discuss what it means to be African and Christian in the modern day. What role does our African traditions, culture and identity play in the expression of our faith?

Is it possible to be committed to seeking the Kingdom and still pursue your earthly ambitions and goals.

Is the whole idea of Christian Heroes Biblical or does that lean toward idolatry? In a society that is steeped in hero worship can we really avoid this as Christians?

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? Why has the church been marred by this issue for centuries?Have a listen...

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? Have a listen and enjoy the conversation

In this episode we will be looking at some of the prophetic words that have been spoken on Zimbabwe e.g. The Cindy Jacobs Guatemala prophecy on Zimbabwe 1998, which Steve Blomefield countered, arguing that it was not an accurate prophecy as it contradicted the Prophecy he gave in 1997 (a year prior). 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? We also discuss how we should react to these and other prophetic words, esp. the ones that are prophesying doom and destruction. Have a listen and join the conversation.

On this Episode we discuss the prophetic with Shingai Kuwaza, a guy who is very passionate about theology and the prophetic. We discuss prophets in the modern day era. how do we distinguish real and fake prophets? Are prophets still relevant today, since we have the Holy Spirit, do we need prophets? What happens when a prophet delivers a prophetic word and it doesn’t happen? Does that make him Fake? Its informative, its uncut and its #realtalk

In this episode we discuss backsliding and what leads some of us to fall away into sin.

How do you prevent from yourself slipping further and how do you rise back up. The Bible tells us in James 1 that God does not tempt us, but each of us is tempted when we our lured away by our own desires. How do we guard ourselves from our own desires?

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. Have a listen and join the conversation

He alos gives a powerful word of encouragement and prayer for you if you are hurting or going through suffering and feel like God has abandoned you. Have a listen

How do we know that the events recorded in the bible are true?

For example is it okay for Christians to buy cash on the parrallel market when they cannot get it from the bank?

What would Jesus do in the times we live in? Have a listen to this intriguing discussion and join the conversation.

In this episode we discuss some of the things that we love, that God has given us to enjoy and how they can easily become idols in our lives. God is very clear in the bible, he is a very jealous God and commands us to not have any idols. But sometimes we restrict this to mean physical idols like those mentioned in the bible. However an idol is anything that we prioritise before God. So we often find ourselves making more time for things like soccer, watching series, music, our phones, social media etc than we've ever made for prayer and God. Have thes things become idols in our lives? How do we practically reprioritise the things in our lives such that we give more priority to what's really more important?
