The God PulseS2: Episode 6 - Perseverance, Breakthroughs and Navigating Change with Slindokuhle MtoloDespite our total devotion and dedication to living a life that glorifies God and serving Him with every facet of our lives, we are not exempt from facing challenges, experiencing uncertainty and losing hope from time to time during our journey.
There are times when absolutely nothing makes sense and life still makes a daily demand on our minds, our energy and our efforts. So, how do we navigate seasons of change and uncertainty? How do we show up when we are left bruised and battered by the battles we face privately and how do we maintain...2022-09-0147 min
The God PulseS2: Episode 5 - Operating Outside of Your Comfort ZoneLife has a tendency of intrusively jostling us this and that way and interrupting whatever sense of tranquillity that we’ve been able to create and maintain in our lives.
Lately I’ve realized, however, that life is designed to interrupt; and I’d even take it a beat further to say that the constant disturbances we encounter are a big part of what life is about and learning how to maintain stability within ourselves through the Peace of God, amidst the turbulences of this reality, is a not only necessary to cope through the hustle and bustle...2022-08-1936 min
The God PulseS2: Episode 4 - The Journey Makes The Destination | Promise SeriesWhen we step into a season where what we once believed God for is assured to us, we need
to pay attention to our posture during the journey of being processed and equipped to handle
the promise.
We also need to begin understanding that the destination where we finally step into the
promise is not a place that we arrive to, but a constant state of being. The process leading up
to the promise is a vital part of the promise and how we respond to this process will
determine whether we live in the fulfilment of what God said...2022-03-2526 min
The God PulseS2: Episode 3 - God Is Our SourceThe world we're living in is constantly offering up counterfeit gods that we are convinced are worthy sources of our lives; our strength, sense of self-worth, direction, wisdom, peace and rest
The truth is there has only ever been and will continue to be only one true God, and that is Jehovah; the I AM that I AM.
He is the only source of life and it is through Him and Him alone that we live and move and have our being.
I hope that this message encourages, makes a real difference in your life and reminds you that God...2022-03-1032 min
The God PulseS2: Episode 2 - Living a Life Marked by FaithfulnessIn as much as we are all called to work, the work that we dedicate our lives to may be fruitless if do not show up faithfully. Being faithful means that we carry ourselves with high integrity and that we are obedient to the standard in which we carry out the assignments which God has prepared for us. Being faithful is working with diligence, showing up with humility and not compromising the call upon our lives, even if that costs us having to losing the things and people that were once important to us. In order to be faithful t...2022-02-2435 min
The God PulseS2: Episode 1 - A Call To WorkRegardless of the backgrounds we come from, our experience and expertise, the availability of resources or lack thereof, our circumstances, our roles and positions, our positions in our faith journey or whether or not we know certain people, as children of God we are called to do the work of the Kingdom of God.
In our respective carer fields, communities, families and social groups, all of us are tasked with work wherever God places us. The work which we are required to do may not look the same for everyone, but according to our level of faith...2022-02-1829 min
The God PulseEpisode 21 - Repetitive Sin: Falling and Rising Up Again [End of Season One]As Believers, we are not immune to falling into and contributing to cycles of destruction in our lives. We, too, can find ourselves having drifted away from the safety of the Father and wrapped up in cultivating a life outside of His leadership and Lordship.
Repetitive sin is a reality known to most and can be one of those struggles in life that can feel debilitating and almost impossible to escape. It can leave us in a state of hopelessness and condemn us to the point of feeling as though we are too stained to present ourselves...2021-09-0736 min
The God PulseEpisode 20 - Are We Willing Vessels?Understanding that we, as believers, are the vessels of God is one of the first steps we take in fully embracing servant hood as part of our identity in Christ. We come to a place in acknowledging that we were created for the good works that God has prepared for us beforehand and that He desires to be in relationship with us and flow through us in order to fulfill His purpose on the earth.
The only question that rises with regards to allowing God to flow unrestricted in the earth through us is whether we are willing vessels? Do...2021-08-3124 min
The God PulseEpisode 19 - Worth: Navigating Pregnancy At a Young Age and Growing Into Self Through The Process - Galaletsang Monare (Part 2)When we run into unexpected circumstances and watch as our lives take a path that we had not envisioned for ourselves, we may believe that we are defined by the new path we find ourselves on.
We may believe that we are deserving of major scrutiny, judgement and condemnation because of choices we make that are not a true reflection of who we are.
When we invite the Holy Spirit into the processes that help us make sense of the new journey that we are about to embark upon, He is faithful to lead us...2021-08-2430 min

The God PulseEpisode 18 - Worth: Comparison and the Fruits That We Bear From ItComparison is known widely to be the thief of joy.
The habit of comparing ourselves is a reality known to man since human beings came into being. Like when Eve was deceived into eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden because she desired to have the knowledge of good and evil and be like God. Or, like when Cain murdered his brother, Abel, in the fields because he was envious of how pleased God was with his brother’s offering as opposed to his own.
When we compare ourselves to other people in or...2021-08-1723 min
The God PulseEpisode 17 - Worth: Redefining Worth Formed Within Academia and Living With Albinism - Lerato KekanaSome of the things that we use to define ourselves and measure our worth by are not
things that are bad in of themselves. In fact, some of the things we use are recognized
positively by society, culture and religion and are very commendable. This is the reason
we may hardly find ourselves assessing ourselves internally when we gain a sense of
worth within our accolades, possessions, wealth and status because the things we
measure this sense of worth by are things that most people are in pursuit of; one way or
the other.
The issue begins when we only...2021-08-1135 min
The God PulseEpisode 16 - Worth: Busyness and The Delusion of Worth - Mahlatsi MakgathoThe everyday hustle and bustle of our lives has the potential to masquerade itself as something that determines our worth because of the gratification we find in it.
Sometimes when we run fast enough we can easily find ourselves too occupied and distracted by our busyness that we neglect ourselves in the process of wanting to elevate ourselves financially, economically, socially and academically. We can find ourselves losing touch with our inner selves.
When the world came to a halt due to the Coronavirus and the lockdowns that were instituted globally, a lot of us...2021-08-0341 min
The God PulseEpisode 15 - Reflecting on the Journey: Where Are We?Reflecting on our growth from the beginning of our journey together, to the point at which we are and the hope we have for the journey ahead is something that I not only deem necessary, but also absolutely vital. Much like observing our lives as children of God, we ought to look at whether they do indeed portray the faith that we so confidently profess or whether we live lives contrary to the call that is upon our lives. Let us go on this journey together to closely examine our lives from the beginning of this year and do...2021-07-2735 min

The God PulseEpisode 14 - Stay Awake!I believe that we are a people – a generation, distracted. Distracted by tradition, culture, religion, society and its pressures and expectations, attaining possessions, building wealth, the list is endless. We’re distracted by the pleasures of this world so much so that we have a tendency of recognizing it as the only solid reality there is.
We are so focused on thriving in this world that we often neglect the reality of Christ Jesus and that this life is really not about us, but about God and giving Him glory through the way in which we conduct our...2021-06-0127 min
The God PulseEpisode 13 - Content AwareContent plays a big role in society and our modern culture due to the rapid development and expansion of the internet, how we engage on it and how it is integrated in our everyday lives. We also still engage with content through traditional media, be that may, a large portion of the content we consume is found online.
The consumption of content has never been easier because we are able to access all kinds of things and gain information on anything at the click of a button thanks to smart devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and...2021-05-2531 min
The God PulseEpisode 12 - As We Think, So Are WeEveryone is familiar with the proverb, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”, found in Proverbs 23:7. But how often do we truly look at our lives, our achievements and failures alike, our personalities, our habits, character traits, friendships, romantic and professional relationships and trace them back to the kind of mind that we carry.
If we are a direct reflection of the kind of mindset that we have, then we ought to ask ourselves what we are actually thinking and what we regularly meditate on when we take a look at the fruits of our...2021-05-1815 min
The God PulseEpisode 11 - Gratitude and Pain Can Co-Exist: The Interlude“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thess. 5:18
Gratitude: The quality of being thankful - readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Gratitude is one of our greatest powers in this life. It trains our minds and transforms our hearts to see the silver lining in a stormy season. It pulls us up and gives us strength to commit to the journey ahead even when we’ve been buried by life’s pains, traumas, pressures, betrayals and disappointments.
Gratitude is the counter...2021-05-1119 min
The God PulseEpisode 10 - The Cost of DistrustIt’s easy to fall into the kind of thinking that makes us believe that our tendency of not having trust for God is inconsequential. That we can easily bounce in and out of seasons of not relying on God for everything that happens in our lives, big or small, and not become people who gradually believe that they can be self-sufficient.
The story of Asa, the king of Judah at first paints the picture of a man who was good in the sight of the Lord, honoured God and relied on Him. As the story continues th...2021-04-2720 min
The God PulseEpisode 9 - Who Do You Want To Be?When it comes to the people that we are, our different character traits, our personalities, our mindset and perceptions of life, we tend to overlook the fact that though the people that we currently are come mostly as a result of the different things, people and environments that we have been exposed to, we also have the power to make a decision on the kinds of people that we will be based on the everyday choices that we make.
More so, when we walk in Christ we are even encouraged to examine ourselves and submit our thoughts...2021-04-2027 min

The God PulseEpisode 6 - Lust: The Struggle Is Real (Part 2)One thing I'm learning about lust that I could not see all these years is that though it may be the result of being exposed to a perverted version of something that God created for our good, such as pornography, and though it bears fruit of fornication and sexual immorality as it matures, lust, as it grows inside of us, is usually a reflection of a deep lack in our lives. Not only that, but lust usually sits in the place of God who is the only one able to meet our soul's deepest needs.

The God PulseEpisode 2 - Sometimes It Gets LonelyThe truth of the matter is that even as children of God, we experience the full range of human emotions just like everyone else, and one of those emotions are loneliness. If we know anything about loneliness, it's that it can feel quite agonizing and leave us in despair, convincing us that it is unlikely to change.
If we know anything about God, however, it's that there isn't a place too far or too deep in our despair that His love and His grace can't rescue us from. (Psalms 139:8; Romans 8:38-39)
And so even as w...2021-02-2322 min
The God PulseEpisode 1 - Identity CrisisWe live in a world where it's normal for us to define ourselves according to the titles that we're given, the roles we assume in society, the gifts and talents that we have and even the pain and traumas that we have endured. We base our identity in things that are naturally subject to change because they were not designed to to stand the test of time.
