    The Creator's Blueprint

    Have you ever tried to assemble furniture without the instructions? You usually end up with a pile of parts and a lot of frustration. In this episode of Beyond Belief, we explore the ultimate "instruction manual" for life and why the way we treat the world around us is a direct reflection of our relationship with the Creator. From the way we handle our resources and environment to the way we honor the intentional design of men and women, everything in creation has a purpose. We dive deep into the theology of stewardship, the beauty of complementary roles, and the practical ways we can reflect God’s love in the "small things"—like how we treat a tired barista or a broken piece of technology. In this episode, you’ll discover: The "Very Good" Mandate: Why seeing beauty in the world changes how you live.The Blueprint of Design: Understanding how honoring God’s specific roles for men and women leads to harmony, not malfunction.Practical Stewardship: A 7-day challenge to shift your perspective from "consumer" to "caretaker."The Matthew 25:40 Connection: Seeing Christ in the "least of these" within our daily interactions.If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your purpose or the world around you, it’s time to look back at the Blueprint. Join us as we learn to honor the world to deepen our connection to the One who made it all.

    1D AGO

    How Will They Hear?

    Romans 10:14–15 How will they hear the gospel if no one speaks? In this powerful episode of Beyond Belief, we dive into Epistle to the Romans 10:14–15 and wrestle with one of the most urgent questions in the Christian faith: How will they hear? Faith doesn’t happen by accident. According to Scripture, faith comes by hearing — and hearing requires someone willing to speak. In this episode, we explore: Why evangelism is not just for pastors or preachersThe real cost of spiritual silenceOvercoming fear of rejection when sharing your faithHow everyday believers can boldly proclaim the gospelPractical ways to live out Romans 10 in daily lifeThrough personal story, biblical teaching, and practical encouragement, this message challenges Christians to move from comfort to courage — from passive belief to active obedience. If you’ve ever wondered: “Is it really my responsibility to share the gospel?”“What if I say the wrong thing?”“How do I talk about faith naturally?”This episode will equip and encourage you to step into your calling as one who is sent. Because eternity hinges on hearing. 🎙 Listen now and discover how one conversation could change someone’s forever.  🔗 Listen & Follow Beyond Belief: 🌍 Podcast Website:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561036 🎧 Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5UYxxzqTBEjnjZdMP1ijBC 🍎 Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-belief/id1857192043 📘 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585831259171 📺 YouTube:  https://youtube.com/@harduspretorius?si=qHOmxEcdZaM2Z_hs If this episode stirred something in you, share it with someone who needs to hear hope today. #ChristianPodcast #Romans10 #Evangelism #ShareYourFaith #FaithInAction #BeyondBelief #BoldFaith Send a text Support the show

  3. This Is My Bible

    2D AGO

    This Is My Bible

    What if declaring Scripture isn’t the same as believing it? In this powerful episode of Beyond Belief, inspired by my minister, Johan Delport, we explore the difference between reciting Bible verses and truly living from Biblical revelation. Many Christians boldly declare, “I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.” But what happens when pressure hits on Monday? This message dives into: • The gap between Sunday confession and weekday conviction  • How to build unshakable Christian identity  • What Scripture really says about who you are in Christ  • Overcoming insecurity through Biblical truth  • Living from forgiveness instead of striving for it  • Walking in spiritual confidence during trials Through passages like 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:1, 2 Peter 1:3, and Philippians 4:13, we uncover what it truly means to move beyond surface-level Christianity into bold, lived-out faith. If you’ve struggled with doubt…  If you’ve questioned your calling…  If you want your Monday life to match your Sunday declaration… This episode will challenge and ground you. Your Bible was never meant to be ritual.  It was meant to be revelation. 🎧 Listen now and discover how to stop merely quoting Scripture — and start being reshaped by it.

  4. Reality vs. Hollywood

    5D AGO

    Reality vs. Hollywood

    Why doesn’t real life look like the movies? In this episode of Beyond Belief, we explore the powerful difference between Hollywood’s version of life and God’s story for you. Social media sells perfection. Movies sell instant success, flawless romance, and constant happiness. But real life? It’s messy. It’s ordinary. It’s sometimes awkward. And that’s exactly where God shows up. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, felt discouraged by highlight reels online, or wondered why your life doesn’t feel “cinematic,” this Christian podcast episode will encourage you deeply. We talk about: Faith in everyday lifeFinding God in ordinary momentsOvercoming comparison and social media pressureBiblical truth about contentment and transformationWhy God’s presence matters more than perfectionLife isn’t Hollywood — and that’s a gift. God works in the unseen, behind-the-scenes moments. The spilled coffee. The quiet prayers. The long waiting seasons. The messy middle. This episode will help you embrace your real story and trust that God is writing something far more beautiful than a highlight reel. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Ecclesiastes 7:14Matthew 5:5Romans 12:2If you're looking for Christian encouragement, spiritual growth, and honest conversations about faith and life, you're in the right place. 🎙 Listen & Connect: Podcast Website:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561036 Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5UYxxzqTBEjnjZdMP1ijBC Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-belief/id1857192043 YouTube:  https://youtube.com/@harduspretorius?si=qHOmxEcdZaM2Z_hs Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585831259171 If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone who needs to hear that God shows up where the camera isn’t rolling. #ChristianPodcast #FaithInRealLife #SpiritualGrowth #GodInTheOrdinary #BeyondBelief Send a text Support the show
