Most of us have been in situations where we've experienced bad customer service. In recent times, complaining about bad service or asking to speak to the manager has become synonymous with “Karen” behaviour. Granted, there are many instances where customers are in the wrong and still complain about bad service. But shying away from standing up for what is right out of fear of being ridiculed should also not be the norm. This week, Breakfast with Martin Bester asked a very valid question on Asking For A Friend: When is it okay to ask to speak to the manager?

08/09/2026 Asking For A Friend | Can I Really Trust The Bible?Is the Bible trustworthy enough for you to build your life on?“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)“All of Your commands can be trusted.” Psalm 119: 86 (NCV)I Can Trust The Bible Because:1. It's historically accurate! “The Word of the Lord is right and true.” Psalm 33:4 (NIV) Eye-witness accounts; manuscript evidence; extreme care in copies; archeological accuracy.2. It's scientifically accurate! “Every word of God is flawless.” Proverbs 30:5 (NIV). “The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay and purified seven ties.” Psalm 12:6 (NIV)3. It's prophetically accurate! “No prophecy ever originated from humans. Instead, it was given by the Holy Spirit as humans spoke under God's direction.” 2 Peter 1:21 (GW) | “But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.” Matthew 26:56 (NLT) | “The angel said to me, ‘These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord…sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.'” Rev 22:6 (NIV)4. It's thematically accurate! “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, Jesus explained to them what was said in ALL the Scriptures concerning Himself.” Luke 24: 27 (NIV) | “You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!” John 5:39 (NLT)5. It's confirmed by Jesus! “Jesus said, ‘Tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished!'” Matt 5:18 (NIV)6. It's survived all attacks! “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Matt 24:35 (NIV) | “The Grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of the Lord stands forever.' 1 Peter: 24-25 (NIV)7. It has transforming power! “Jesus said, ‘If you continue in my Word, then you are my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free!'” John 8:31-32 (KJV)THE BIG QUESTION:What will be the authority for my life?“Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 (NIV) | “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.” Colossians 3: 16 (NIV)

Ready for your weekly dose of unfiltered women's health? From awkward body quirks to the latest health headlines, nothing is off-limits. Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney tackle why you should think twice before trying injectable peptides, whether the shingles vaccine could actually lower your risk of dementia, and if the viral rebounding trend is worth jumping up and down over. In Are You Well? they shed light on two surprisingly common issues: why we get haemorrhoids (and whether you should actually be shoving them back up), and how to tell if your nipple hair is totally normal or a sign of something else. Plus, in Asking for a Friend, Dr Ginni answers your real-life anonymous health questions, from what’s really driving recurrent UTIs to why you’re suddenly passing way more wind in public.

Child support is often a contentious issue in separated families. More often than not, the issue involves one of the parties paying too little or nothing at all in maintenance. This week, we are looking at how much is too much when paying child support. Anonymous wrote to Breakfast with Martin Bester, saying that he pays R10 000 a month in child support and feels that it is too much.

Most people have experienced the frustration of driving behind an oversized truck moving slowly along the road. What many do not realise is that these extraordinary loads often carry the equipment that keeps South Africa's economy moving. For nearly 60 years, Transvaal Heavy Transport (THT) has specialised in transporting abnormal and high-value loads across South Africa and neighbouring countries. From mining equipment and transformers to industrial machinery and infrastructure components, the company helps deliver the assets that power construction, mining, energy and water projects.

08/02/2026 | Asking For A Friend  | Matthew 25:31-46BIG IDEA: A loving God does not ignore sin, He judges it justly, and through Jesus offers mercy freely.God is not intimidated by your questions.Whois this King?1. The King appears in glory (v31). See Isaiah 6: 3b, 52. The King's standard reveals every heart (v32). See Romans 3:23, 28. Our works reveal the reality of our hearts.3. The King renders a perfect verdict. How will you stand before God? See Romans 3:10a4. The King who judges is the King who took our judgment. See 2 Cor 5:21; Romans 5:8. The Cross is proof of God's love for us.5. The King's invitation is still open. See 2 Peter 3:9 and John 6:37The better question is “Why would a Holy God make a way for sinners like us to spend eternity with Him?The King who invites us will one day judge us.So, how do you respond?1. Come honestly before God. (Transparency)2. Look to the Cross continuously.3. Surrender to the King every day.

How soon is too soon to start looking for someone new after a separation? That is Anonymous's question on Breakfast with Martin Bester's Asking For A Friend this week. Anonymous asked listeners and the Breakfast team for their opinions. “While we are still going through the divorce process, with a court date scheduled, my soon-to-be ex has already started dating,” he said. “I think it is incredibly brave, but someone close to us feels it is disrespectful towards me. “I do not agree with this sentiment, but I would like to know what listeners think.” This is what people had to say.

Most people do not think twice about the fruit they buy. An apple, a bunch of grapes or a punnet of blueberries appears on a supermarket shelf looking fresh and perfect. Few of us stop to think about the journey behind it or how much of a farmer's harvest never reaches its full value. That is the challenge Uzair Essack set out to solve.

Asking For A Friend sounded a little different this week. Instead of raising a personal or relationship issue, Jade, whose surname has been omitted, asked a very simple question: Why are people over 30 always giving main character energy? Jade argued that people over 30 often come across as a little too confident and self-assured, with an overbearing energy. She specifically pointed to millennials who post about things like running marathons on social media. The question sparked a heated debate between people over 30 and those who share Jade's opinion

Managing blended families and relationships between children and new partners is not always easy. That being said, many people manage to build beautiful blended families, bringing together children, parents and partners. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, as seen in this week's Asking For A Friend on Breakfast with Martin Bester. This week, Anonymous wrote to Breakfast with Martin Bester, saying that her partner treats his children better than he treats hers. Not sure what to do, she asked the team and our listeners for advice. This is what they had to say.

What do you do when your partner wants to wait until marriage and you don't? Well, this is this week's Asking for a Friend predicament.

What a series it has been!We're wrapping up this series with a special Q&A session, answering some of the burning questions we've received. In this episode, we tackle topics ranging from abortion and dreams to church excommunication, the reliability of Scripture, and much more.Listen and be blessed as Pastor Kenneth addresses these important questions.

For some people, staying friends with an ex does not seem strange at all, but for others, it is a complete no-no. Anonymous wrote to Breakfast with Martin Bester about this exact predicament. Their partner is still good friends (emphasis on “good”) with their ex, and Anonymous wonders whether they should be worried.

Rev. Tripp Gulledge

Dreams are one of the most mysterious parts of our lives. Many of us have questions we've never really had answers to.What do dreams mean? Can they actually be interpreted? Is the Lord speaking to me through my dreams?In this teaching, we'll be learning all about dreams. If you've ever been curious about them, this is a great opportunity to learn. Listen and receive clarity on this subject!

Rev. Tripp Gulledge

Few experiences are as painful as losing someone you love. How do you trust God in the midst of loss? How do you comfort someone who is grieving? What do you say, and how do you simply be present when words seem inadequate?As the body of Christ, we are called to be people of love, comfort, and compassion. We cannot shy away from walking with people through their pain.Listen and learn how to approach grief with wisdom, sensitivity, and Christlike care.

In this episode, we vigorously refute the narrative that Christianity is a “white man's religion”.We also answer other questions like: What characterized the early church? Was the canon inspired by God or chosen by men? Why do creeds matter? Do church councils carry authority? And what place should church history have in the life of a believer today?

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has come a host of questions and concerns that the Church cannot ignore.What are the limits of AI in the Church? Is it morally sound to use AI for Bible study or to create ministry content? Should we embrace AI, be wary of it, or reject it altogether?

In this message from our Asking For A Friend series, we tackle one of the most difficult and emotional questions people wrestle with: Why would a loving God allow hell to exist? Looking closely at the teachings of Jesus, this sermon explores what hell is, why it exists, and how God's justice and love work together. Most importantly, this message points us to the hope of the gospel and the heart of a God who desires people to be saved through Jesus Christ.

Gina is a hairstylist and has one the WORST customers ever but need the money, WHAT SHOULD SHE DO???

This episode was intentionally short… but maybe the conversation it opens is much bigger.So today is a short solo episode… and maybe the beginning of a mini-series.I'd genuinely love your feedback.So many leaders (often introverts) have asked me about difficult conversations…. and I've seen so many get nervous, emotional (or AVOID THE CONVO!) … and that could be costly, risky, loses trust with our teams ... and so I am thinking of putting together a short (secret) podcast series for free that might help leaders, introverts, like you, to shift a difficult conversation to an empowering one!Would this be of interest to you?Would episodes like this support you?Would you value practical conversations around communication, leadership, emotional intelligence, boundaries, expectation-setting, or navigating tension with more calm and confidence?Send me a message on Instagram or LinkedIn and let me know.I'd love your feedback.Would you value more mini episodes around empowering conversations and the human side of leadership?

John is joined by Foo Fighters  to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Your Favorite Toy'. Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed by Dave Grohl.

Over the past 20 years, they have released twelve studio albums, won fifteen Grammys, and in 2021 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their twelfth studio album, ‘Your Favorite Toy', arrived in April 2026. Sitting down at Metropolis Studios in London, Dave and bassist Nate Mendel break down tracks, all the way from Dave's demos and early drum patterns through to the final masters.
