Some of the most important life lessons in your late twenties are often learned when life doesn't go according to plan. In this solo episode of But What Do I Know? host Chidinma A reflects on the 9 biggest lessons she learned at 29. A year that included home ownership that didn't go as planned, a layoff, and unexpected disappointments. From letting go of certain expectations and making peace with job uncertainty to redefining success and learning to trust herself more deeply, this conversation is a reflection on growing through unexpected change and finding meaning in seasons that ask for more (A LOT more). --- Connect with "But What Do I Know?"

The favour of God is more than a blessing—it is the mark of His presence upon your life. In this message, Pastor Nicky Van Der Westhuizen reveals how God's favour cannot be earned through performance but is received by grace and walked out through faith and obedience. As Scripture unfolds, you'll discover how divine favour opens doors, establishes purpose, and distinguishes those who trust in the Lord. Whether you're waiting for breakthrough or stepping into a new season, this message will strengthen your confidence that God has already marked you for His purpose. Receive His Word, walk in faith, and expect His favour to go before you.

Every harvest begins with unseen preparation. In this message, Pastor Nicky Van Der Westhuizen challenges believers to recognize when God has brought them into a shovel season—a time to prepare, obey, and build in faith before the visible breakthrough arrives. Through biblical insight and practical application, he reveals that God's greatest works are often preceded by seasons of faithful labor, perseverance, and expectation. Don't allow delay to convince you that nothing is happening. Continue preparing the ground, because the God who promised the harvest is faithful to bring it to pass.

God is still asking the same question: Who will go for Us? In this message, Pastor Nicky Van Der Westhuizen unfolds the call of Isaiah 6 and challenges every believer to move beyond excuses, embrace God's presence, and become a willing vessel for His purpose. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical exhortation, this message reveals that revival is carried by ordinary people who respond with extraordinary obedience. God is looking for those who will know Him through His Word, become solutions to the world around them, and boldly proclaim the gospel. Let this message stir your heart to answer, “Here am I. Send me.”

For the first episode of this new season, host Chidinma A is joined by Dr. Cassandre Dunbar for a conversation that feels like an embrace. With everything happening globally, from ongoing conflicts to economic uncertainty,  it can feel like there's always something to process, even whether you are directly or indirectly impacted. In this conversation, they explore what it means to exist in a constant state of awareness, and how the ongoing exposure to heavy news and stress can begin to show up in the body. From increased cortisol levels to dysregulated stress responses and long-term health impacts, Dr. Cassandre breaks down how this may be processed in the body. Together, they reflect on what it means to carry so much, often without realizing it, and how to begin checking in with the body more intentionally. The conversation closes with a thoughtful look at how to stay informed and empathetic, while also protecting mental and physical well-being. --- Connect with "But What Do I Know?"

Wayne and Tobie van der Westhuizen, coauthors of Just Love, reflect on the Just Love Conversations they hosted last weekend in Kansas City. Their recap includes knowing God's love from the inside—not merely as a truth we believe, but as the very substance of salvation and the source from which we live. They explore how desire can lure us outside the present moment, reaching for possessions, experiences, or relationships to satisfy an ache they were never meant to fill. But as we learn to receive the love and life already given to us in God, we no longer need to take from others to secure our own well-being. Living from fullness frees us to become distributors of life—people whose growing contentment in God expresses itself in generosity, compassion, and the kind of justice that helps set the world right.

The wellness world has embraced biohacking to improve sleep, recovery and overall performance. Now that same philosophy is transforming skincare. Instead of chasing quick fixes, today's focus is on supporting your skin's natural ability to repair itself, defend against environmental stress, and maintain a healthier appearance over time. But how much of the science lives up to the hype, and what should consumers really know before investing in the latest skincare innovations? Fitness presenter and wellness correspondent Liezel van der Westhuizen joins us to separate fact from fiction as she explores the science of skin longevity and the role of ingredients such as niacinamide, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and barrier supporting technologies. She also explains why sunscreen, quality sleep, regular exercise, balanced nutrition and stress management remain the most powerful tools for healthy skin, while examining how products like Dermalogica's FutureCode Booster may enhance a well rounded skincare routine based on evidence rather than marketing promises.

Food allergy management begins long before the first bite. It begins in the supermarket aisle, reading ingredient lists carefully, understanding allergen warnings and recognising that recipes and manufacturing processes can change at any time. A product that was safe last month may not be safe today.Fitness presenter, wellness correspondent, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins CapeTalk and 702 to unpack why food labelling remains the cornerstone of food allergy management. She explains how South African food labelling regulations help consumers identify common allergens, why precautionary statements such as "may contain" deserve careful attention, and the simple habits that can help individuals and families make safer food choices every day. Whether you live with a food allergy yourself, care for a child with allergies, or simply want to make more informed decisions when shopping, this conversation offers practical advice that could genuinely save lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The word detox sells quickly in the wellness world, and zeolite has become one of the latest products riding that wave. Marketed as a mineral that can trap toxins and support whole body health, it sounds like the ultimate shortcut to feeling better.

Zain Johnson, standing in for Africa Melane, is joined by fitness enthusiast and mental wellness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen, to unpack the science behind zeolite.

What if simply showing up could help an Olympian chase her next world championship dream? South African cycling star Miyanda Maseti has already made history as the first black woman to represent South African cycling at the Olympic Games. Now the multiple South African champion and African Continental Champion is working towards qualifying for the Pump Track World Championships, and she is calling on women across South Africa to help grow the elite women's field at a crucial qualifying event in Pretoria. Fitness presenter, endurance athlete, and burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane on CapeTalk and 702 to unpack Miyanda's remarkable journey from BMX tracks to the Olympic Games. They explore why representation in sport matters, how ordinary women can play a role in helping grow female cycling in South Africa, and why this event could become a defining moment for the future of women's cycling. Discover what pump track racing is, why it is one of the fastest-growing cycling disciplines in the world, and how a simple decision to participate could help create opportunities for future generations of female athletes. This is a story about courage, community, possibility, and the power of showing up. Early Breakfast with Africa Melane is 702’s and CapeTalk’s early morning talk show.

On this episode of A Table in the Corner, Russel sits down with Giles Edwards, a chef returning to the pass after time away, now working in collaboration with Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen at Le Bistrot de JAN. It's a conversation about coming back to the kitchen on different terms, with more clarity about what matters and what doesn't. Giles first came onto the city's radar with La Tête, a restaurant that built a loyal following through a deeply considered approach to sourcing, sustainability and unfussy, exacting cooking. Before that came a formative decade in London, including time at St. John under Fergus Henderson, where ideas around whole-animal cooking and restraint took root.The conversation traces that arc. The early pull of St. John, the grind and discipline of London, the creation and eventual closure of La Tête, and the decision to step away from kitchens altogether. It also explores what it means to return, this time with boundaries, working within someone else's space while holding onto a clear sense of self.This is a conversation about simplicity, sustainability and the long view. About learning, stepping back, and choosing how to come back.www.rwm2012.comOn Instagram @a_table_inthecornerCover image sketched by Courtney Cara LawsonAll profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise creditedTitle music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay

"The Incarnation itself was an act of justice," says Tobie van der Westhuizen, co-author of Just Love: How One Mistranslated Word Distorted the Gospel, as he joins Kyle and Wayne for a conversation about the new book prior to its release on March 3. When English translators chose the made-up religious word, righteousness, to substitute for the word justice that the original writers would have used, they unintentionally distorted the Gospel itself. Instead of focusing on love and how it transforms us into just people that reflect his kingdom, Christianity in many quarters became more preoccupied personal piety and sin management. A true revolution could occur if the followers of Jesus embraced a life of love-lived justice through the heart rather than through obligations or legal requirements. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast Why House Church Isn't the Answer Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. Release date is set for March 3. The post The Beauty of Love Lived Justice (#1024) first appeared on The God Journey.

Perception is its own reality, false though it may be. The podcast begins with a brief conversation about the trajectory of life, Kyle looking forward to what might lie ahead, and Wayne glancing back in gratefulness at how Jesus has walked with him. Then, they look at perceptions—how people perceive God and how they think he perceives them. They talk about those who see God as a demanding taskmaster, those who respond to him as his wrath drives them, and what people make of unanswered prayers. How does God want us to perceive him, and what is he thinking when he looks at you? A reference from Exodus, of all places, shows us how God wants to be known. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available later this month. The post How God Sees You (#1023) first appeared on The God Journey.

It's happened again. Another major ministry in the Charismatic world admits to hiding a false prophet who was also sexually abusive—for six years! Why does this keep happening? Sadly, many who claim to follow Christ can't tell the difference between someone filled with the life of the Spirit and those who only pretend to be for notoriety and influence. In the last few weeks, horrible revelations have come out of Bethel in Redding, and Wayne and Kyle wrestle with the questions that yet another scandal provokes. Until hearts turn to care for the victims of abuse and act to protect them, we will continue to see false leaders who would rather cover up abuse rather than warn the sheep when a wolf is among them. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast Jesus Lens: The Elliptical Playground Wayne's Blog on the Bethel Scandal  The Roys Report on the Bethel Scandal Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available later this month. The post Yet Another Tragedy (#1022) first appeared on The God Journey.

Where do you place your hope in the midst of difficult times? Kyle is finding that more and more people are turning to AI as a source of hope and direction because they don't have relationships that encourage and inspire them. Can AI be a spiritual advisor, or even a conduit to God? Or, is it becoming a golden calf for those who don't feel God's presence and wisdom aren't tangible enough? Wayne and Kyle talk about our substitutes for presence and community, as well as the addictive nature of AI's Positive Validation Feedback Loop that keeps people engaged by telling them what they want to hear. Authenticity can only be found in our connection to Jesus and in the community of fellow-travelers that he places around us. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available later this month. The post AI and the Golden Calf (#1021) first appeared on The God Journey.

"To have faith is to trust love," which is where the bulk of Wayne and Kyle's conversation goes this week as they come through the mailbag. There are comments about relational community, how prayer changes as trust grows, and the McDonald's Toy Syndrome. They finish with one email that talks about the importance of trusting God's love and not knowledge alone. While human love can be weak and conditional, God's love is the strongest force in the universe and opens people to truth and reality. Those who desire love will recognize him when he comes; those who desire knowledge will see him as a threat. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast Beyond Sundays Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available in February 2026. The post Trusting Love (#1020) first appeared on The God Journey.

How do you view friendships around you, especially those that may be short-lived? Do you shy away, not wanting to get hurt, exploit them for what you can get, or engage them as an opportunity to share life, even if it won't last long? Wayne and Kyle discuss what a healthy mindset looks like as we engage others, whether it be short-term or long-term. Be true to your "yuck meter" so you won't be manipulated. Learn the power of active listening as a gift to give others by giving them your full attention, a curious mind, and a calm presence, while resisting the desire to make judgments or give advice. Of course, all of that begins in our growing trust in Father's love and realizing that anything that argues against our belovedness to him is a lie we need to walk away from. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast My Friend Luis podcast My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem. Quote Wayne read on the podcast: “Talking with another person to process what you learned or experienced doesn't mean having a friendly chat with them. It means describing an event that had meaning for you, while the other person listens with caring, full attention, a calm presence, and a settled body. This might involve both of you letting you tremble, cry, sway, shake your head, or move your body in some other way as it metabolizes the experience. Therapists call this active listening. Being an active listener involves not interrupting; not making judgments; not asking questions other than to make sure you understand; not giving advice or offering explanations; and not jumping in with a story of your own. It's important to reach out to others for this type of support. It's just as important to allow others to reach out to you for it.” Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available in February 2026. The post Toward Relational Wholeness (#1019) first appeared on The God Journey.

"The enemy's chief strategy is to make dead things look alive." And wow, does it ever work! In the backdrop of yet another revelation of moral failure on the part of a Christian celebrity, Kyle and Wayne discuss how the theology of love can fail us in our desperate moments. The question remains, however: Why doesn't love and faith transform even its most ardent advocates? How can people give lip service to love and grace for decades and yet remain so utterly untransformed by it? Unless we discover God's kind of love inside his presence with us, we will remain unchanged and still act in our own expedience rather than treating others around us justly. And in the aftermath of failure, how does love restore the victims who suffer because of it and the one who fell to temptation? Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast My Grandmother's Hands Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available in February 2026. The post God's Love and Moral Failure (#1018) first appeared on The God Journey.

In this episode with Markus Westhuizen, we explore how travel, movement and new environments shape our consciousness. Markus shares deep insight on how being exposed to new cultures and unfamiliar places expands awareness, shifts identity, and opens new dimensions of inner growth.We also explore spiritual awakening, presence, self-observation, emotional awareness, and how globalization is changing human consciousness.Whether you love travel, meditation, personal growth or conscious living, this conversation will leave you reflecting on the deeper purpose of movement, belonging and identity.

"All healing involves discomfort—but so does refusing to heal." So writes Resmaa Menakem in his book, My Grandmother's Hands, which Wayne and Sara have just finished reading. The book is about healing from traumatic pain, especially around trauma related to race. Quotes from the book draw Wayne and Klye into a discussion about clean pain and dirty pain as they apply to emotional hurt and wounds. Our responses or reactions to our own pain can either put more hurt in the world, both for ourselves and others, or our responses to pain can promote healing. The difference is whether we come at healing from an agitated state or from a calm, settled body, which we can find in the peace and presence of Jesus. This also points out why our society cannot have a reasoned, healing conversation about race today—both sides come at it from agitation and frustration. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast My Grandmother's Hands Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available in February 2026. The post Clean Pain or Dirty Pain (#1017) first appeared on The God Journey.

"Fear makes us selfish," and no fear more so than the fear of death. A book Wayne recently read provoked his thinking about death and how the fear of it can make people act in destructive ways. So, he and Kyle discuss the fear of death, and how Jesus came to free those who are enslaed to it. Instead of helping people find that freedom, Christianity has often added to people's anxiety about death by threatening them with the consequences that could lie behind it. How would people be in the world if they no longer feared dying, but saw it as a transformation, much like the caterpillar yielding to the chrysalis? Both expressed their hope for a future where relationships are restored and wounds are healed. Podcast Notes: The video recording of this podcast Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available in February 2026. The post The Fear of Death (#1016) first appeared on The God Journey.

"Love fulfills the law because it fills us." After a brief conversation about a perspective shift in challenging times and sharing inexhaustible love, Kyle and Wayne discuss finding our fullness in him.  They plough through an article about desire. It turns out humans enjoy getting the thing they desire than having it. The dopamine hit that comes from procuring what's desired doesn't last long, which is why so many are almost immediately out seeking the next new thing. What if the root of our desires is for God himself? Trying to fill that desire with anything else would always fail. Finding our fullness it him would let us live with gratitude and appreciation, no matter what we possess, rather than the constant yearning and dissatisfaction.
