There are seasons where you know what God has said, but the journey feels long, tiring and stretching. You’ve started well, but staying faithful has become the real battle. This episode is a conversation on spiritual endurance, what it is, why we need it and how God builds it in us.

We talk about endurance as more than just “surviving a hard time.” It’s the grace to keep moving with purpose when progress is slow, prayers seem delayed and the race feels uphill. We unpack how endurance helps you actually finish your God-given assignment, how it matures your faith and how it brings glory to God when you choose to trust Him in difficulty rather than give up.

Together, we explore practical ways to build and maintain endurance: staying rooted in the Word when emotions are unstable, fixing your eyes on Jesus as the model of perseverance, learning to lean on grace instead of sheer willpower and refusing to walk alone by staying in healthy community.

What does it look like to build a home that carries the heart of God? In this heartfelt episode we sit down with Minister Mfundo Hadebe and his wife, Mrs. Sphe Hadebe, to trace their journey of marriage, parenthood and community-building. Together we talk about shaping family culture with Kingdom values, surrendering our parenting to God, creating rhythms that keep Jesus at the center and leading our children from a place of love, wisdom and integrity.

This conversation is hope for anyone called to be a generational curse-breaker and a builder, whether you’re single and preparing, newly married, deep in the trenches of raising kids or serving as a guardian, mentor or spiritual parent. You’ll hear real stories, practical wisdom and the reminder that when Christ is the foundation, families become altars and launchpads for purpose.

The fiercest battles aren’t always around us, but rather they’re within us. This episode is a practical, hope-filled guide to winning the war in your thought-life. We unpack how ideas, narratives and inner scripts shape your emotions, decisions, and destiny, and how to replace them with truth so your life begins to follow the mind of Christ. We talk about moving from spirals of fear, lust and cynicism to a renewed mindset marked by clarity, peace and purpose.

You’ll learn simple, realistic rhythms for a healthier inner world: “Word before world,” short truth-pauses when you feel triggered, guarding your gates from unhelpful inputs and using wise filters that ask, Is this true? redemptive? useful? edifying? This isn’t theory, it’s a toolkit to help you take thoughts captive instead of living captive to them.

Your feed is discipling you. In a world designed to keep you scrolling, this conversation is about taking back your attention so your life is led by presence, not by the next notification. We unpack how algorithms shape what you love, how constant noise numbs your discernment, and why clarity returns when you slow down and choose what (and who) gets to speak into your soul.

We share a practical “rule of life” for the digital age: Word before world, intentional screen sabbaths, curating voices that form you toward wholeness, a slow-share rhythm for hot takes, and simple tests that ask: Is this true? Is it helpful? Is it making me more loving and more free? This isn’t anti-tech...it’s pro-transformation, using our devices without letting them use us.

Is the “honeymoon phase” real for Kingdom couples? And if it is, does it have to end?

In this conversation, we unpack the difference between early infatuation and lifelong intimacy, and why covenant love isn’t powered by novelty but by a heart posture that keeps choosing, tending and pursuing. We talk about how to guard the “little foxes” that spoil what’s growing, and how to return to first love by doing the “first works” again. Drawing from Ephesians 5, we explore what it means to nourish and cherish each other through real seasons: work, ministry, babies, budgets and why passion often follows attention, not the other way around.

If you’ve felt the dip and wondered, “Is this normal?” or "Are our best days behind us"?...this episode will steady your heart. The honeymoon doesn’t have to be a phase you lose; it can become a rhythm you practice: delight, honor, pursuit, play, prayer and quick repair. In Christ, love isn’t on a countdown, it’s meant to abound more and more.

If Part 1 asked “What is the Kingdom?” this conversation asks, “Who are you in it?” In Christ, you are not just saved, you are set apart as royal priesthood. That means two callings held as one: the authority of a king and the access of a priest. We unpack how Kingdom sons and daughters carry both, governing life under Jesus’ lordship while ministering to God and interceding for people.

This episode explores what it looks like to live from the altar (presence, holiness, intercession) and lead at the gates (work, family, culture) with wisdom and humility. We talk about priestly nearness to God, drawing near with confidence, offering our lives as living sacrifices and royal responsibility, speaking and acting under the King’s Word. Worship and work aren’t rivals, they are one rhythm under one King.

Before you can walk in royal authority, you have to know the Kingdom you belong to. In this foundational conversation, we strip away clichés and confusion to explore what Jesus actually meant by “the Kingdom of God.” It’s not a Sunday routine or a future destination only, it’s God’s present rule, His government and culture breaking into everyday life, transforming hearts, homes, and whole societies.

We talk about the Kingdom as a reality you’re born into, seek first and carry wherever you go. Citizens have a constitution (the Word), a culture (righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit), and an assignment (on earth as it is in heaven). Understanding this shifts us from religion to rulership under the King, living as sons and daughters who represent Him in work, family, and community.

This is the groundwork for the series: before the “crowning,” comes the clarity. Let’s learn what we’re part of, so we can live it with confidence.

When God joins two people together, it’s never just about romance or the altar, it's about Kingdom purpose. In this episode, we are joined by Lead Pastor Lihle Khumalo and his wife, Pastor Mandisa Khumalo, for a powerful conversation on what it means to be Partnered for Purpose.

Together, we unpack how marriage and ministry intertwine, how family values are built on Kingdom principles and how couples can impact their communities by serving beyond themselves. This is not just a conversation for married people or those in ministry. Whether you’re single, waiting on God, engaged, looking to be impactful in your community or simply hungry to live surrendered in your season, there is wisdom and encouragement here for you.

The Khumalos remind us that a God-ordained partnership is about more than two people loving each other...it’s about two people carrying God’s vision together and leaving a legacy that touches homes, churches and communities.

Forgiveness is at the very heart of the Gospel, yet it is one of the hardest things to practice in real life. In this episode, we dive into a raw and wide-reaching conversation on forgiveness: what it looks like in marriage, in friendships, in family, and even in our walk with God.

We explore why forgiveness is not a feeling but a decision, why it’s a discipline we grow into, and how unforgiveness silently poisons our hearts if left unchecked. From personal offenses to deep wounds, we reflect on how grace creates space for growth, healing, and restoration.

Seasons are God’s way of moving us from where we were to where He wants us to be. But how do you know when you’re truly in transition? In this episode, we explore the signs that you are shifting into a new season, and how to recognize the hand of God in the midst of change.

From shedding old environments, relationships, and even mindsets, to embracing new opportunities, connections and identity, transitions are never easy, but they are necessary for growth. Scripture reminds us: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1), this conversation seeks to unpack that biblical principle in detail.

This week, we are joined by Rev. Mlungiseleli Jabulani, a husband, father, pastor, and servant leader in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, where he serves as President of the men’s ministry chapter in his region.

In a heartfelt and timely conversation, we explore the reality of fatherlessness and its impact on individuals, families, and communities. Rev. Jabulani shares biblical truth and personal insight on how God reveals Himself as a Father to the fatherless, offering healing, identity, and belonging to those who have been abandoned, neglected, or left unseen. We reflect on the deep wounds left by absent or emotionally distant fathers, the call for the Church to stand in the gap, and the role of Kingdom men in restoring God’s heart in families.

Drawing from Psalm 68:5 — “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling”, this episode invites listeners to encounter the steadfast love of the One who never leaves nor forsakes, and to embrace His fatherhood as the source of restoration, purpose, and new beginnings.

In this episode, we sit down with purpose coach and faith-based storyteller Mbali Mathole to explore a profound and often unspoken reality: the emotional and spiritual weight carried by firstborn daughters.

We delve into the pressures of perfection, early responsibility and emotional displacement that so many firstborn daughters silently endure. At the heart of it lies the orphan spirit, a sense of abandonment, performance-driven love and disconnected identity (even while surrounded by people).

Through this powerful conversation, we unpack how this spirit can shape womanhood, relationships and faith journeys — and how Jesus and the Holy Spirit, through their healing love, delivers us into freedom, rest and true daughtership in the Kingdom.

In this rich and wide-reaching conversation, we’re joined by Thato Mahlatsi, a passionate young believer whose life speaks volumes about what it means to live surrendered, even when the path looks nothing like what you planned.

We journey through his powerful story of redirecting from medicine to education, and how that shift became less about career and more about God’s deeper call to alignment and obedience. We explore what it means to carry vibrant faith while serving in a structured denominational setting, and how the fire of the Holy Spirit doesn’t need to fight form, it can fill it.

This conversation also leans into the tension of identity and surrender, what it means to let go of the picture you painted for your life and embrace who God is forming you to be. And finally, we speak into the calling of young Kingdom men in this generation: not defined by ego, status or performance, but by humility, presence, and spiritual strength.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Phumla Dube, a medical practitioner and aspiring psychiatrist whose life and journey uniquely bridge science, faith and healing.

We explore the often-overlooked importance of mental health within the Body of Christ, breaking the silence around issues that many believers suffer through quietly. Phumla opens up about her own personal healing journey through mental illness, how God met her in the valley, and why emotional and psychological wellbeing matter deeply to our spiritual lives.

This episode is both a gentle confrontation and a hopeful invitation, to normalise conversations around mental health in the Kingdom, to pursue healing without shame and to remember that faith and therapy are not enemies.

In this episode, we are joined by Pastor Mandisa Khumalo: a Kingdom woman, servant leader, and voice for purpose-driven obedience. She shares her personal journey and testimonies of what it truly means to lead from a posture of surrender, humility and unwavering faith.

Together, we explore God’s design and mandate for women in His Kingdom, not as second-class citizens, but as co-heirs and Spirit-empowered carriers of purpose. Pastor Mandisa reflects on how God has used her “yes” to unlock transformation, and what it looks like to serve with both strength and softness, authority and submission.

This episode will inspire, challenge and call out the Kingdom assignment within every daughter of God who longs to walk faithfully in both identity and impact.

Words carry power: power to build, heal and restore…or to wound, limit and destroy.

In this episode, we reflect on the spiritual and emotional impact of our words, and why learning to speak life is a vital part of walking in surrender to Christ. From the declarations we speak over ourselves to the language we use in our relationships, every word becomes a seed with the potential to shape reality.

Join us for a conversation that invites you to evaluate your language, renew your mind and align your voice with the truth of God’s Word.

A lifetime of faith. A legacy still unfolding.

In this episode, we sit down with the very couple whose surrender laid the foundation for our own, our parents. With nearly four decades of walking with God through the highs and lows of marriage, parenting and purpose, they open up about the values that shaped them, the grace that carried them and the faith that continues to guide their steps.

This is a conversation about more than history, it’s about heritage. About building homes rooted in God, handing down principles that outlive seasons and seeing legacy not just as something you leave behind, but something you live out daily.

Whether you’re newly married, raising a family, or simply desiring to walk faithfully with God, this episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: what you’re building now can echo for generations.

Every now and then, it’s important to pause, not just to teach, not to rush ahead...but simply to reflect.

In this special episode, we step back from the usual format to take a breath and look at how far God has brought us. We talk through the journey so far, the lessons we’re learning, the encouragement we've received from Surrendered Saints and the quiet hopes we’re carrying for what’s next.

It’s a heartfelt, honest check-in, a moment to realign, give thanks, and remember why we started.

Whether you’ve been listening from the beginning or just joined us recently, this episode is for you.

Thank you for walking this surrendered journey with us.

Not every love story ends the way we imagined. Sometimes life hands us a “no” where we were praying for a “yes,” and we’re left holding pieces of a heart we thought was whole.

In this episode, we speak to those navigating disappointment, loss and the kind of heartbreak that lingers long after a goodbye. Whether it’s the end of a relationship, the shattering of expectations or the silent grief of dreams that didn’t come to pass, we believe God still meets us in the middle of the pain.

This is a conversation about giving language to grief, inviting God into the healing process and trusting that what broke you will not define you. Because even when love and life don’t go as planned, God’s redemptive hand is never far.

You are not forgotten. You are not disqualified. And this is not the end of your story.

What do you do when it feels like everyone else is finding love, building families and stepping into their “next”, while you’re still waiting?

In this tender and honest episode, we speak to the hearts of those who feel overlooked, left behind or forgotten in the waiting season. We explore the quiet ache of unmet desires, the spiritual tension of longing and trust, and the deep truth that our identity and joy are not tied to timelines or relationship statuses, but rooted in Christ alone.

This isn’t a call to suppress desire, but it’s an invitation to anchor it. Because true contentment isn’t found in finally receiving the thing you long for, but in discovering that Christ is enough, even when you’re still waiting.

This is a message for anyone who has ever asked, “When is it my turn?”—and is ready to hear heaven’s response.
