Episodes
Entrusted: Stewarding The Tongue
The words we speak are never neutral. They carry weight, shape relationships, and reveal what is in our hearts. Scripture teaches that the tongue has the power to bring life or destruction, and therefore it must be handled with wisdom and restraint. Stewarding the tongue is not only about avoiding harmful speech, but about intentionally using words to build, encourage, and bring truth. In this epi

Game, Romance, and pursuit, Navigating Pursuit, Pressure, Charm, and Character
Do Baptist men have a game problem? How does godly wisdom shape how a man pursues a relationship with a lady? How important is having a "type" in deciding whether to pursue someone romantically or accept a pursuit, and is it okay to say no to someone just because they don't fit your type? In this podcast episode, taking a break from the "Entrusted" series, we will be exploring what it means to pu
Entrusted: Stewardship in Listening
Good conversations are not built on speaking well alone, but on listening well. Listening is more than hearing words; it is giving attention, seeking understanding, and responding with wisdom. Many breakdowns in relationships happen not because people cannot speak, but because they do not listen well. Scripture highlights wisdom, patience, and understanding, which are deeply connected to how we en
Entrusted: Stewarding Influences
We are constantly being shaped by what we see, hear, and allow into our daily lives. Many of these influences don’t announce themselves as good or bad, they simply become familiar, and over time they shape how we think, speak, and live. Scripture calls us to be discerning and intentional about what we allow to shape our hearts and minds. In this episode, we explore how influences form us quietly,
Entrusted: A Biblical Vision of Stewardship
Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s a way of life that reflects our trust in God and our faithfulness with what He has entrusted to us. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to live as a steward in every area of life, time, relationships, talents, and resources. Drawing from Scripture, we discuss practical and biblical guidance for living responsibly, faithfully, and intentiona

Trauma, A Biblical Perspective
Trauma is a word we hear often, but rarely sit with. Sometimes it's loud and obvious. Other times it's quiet, tucked away in our reactions, our fears, our patterns. We move on, we cope, we smile... but do we actually heal?Join us in this weeks' episode of coffee in the library as our host and guest tackles the topic, "Trauma, A Biblical Perspective"Host: Chikondi TemboGuest: Pastor Ronald Kalifung
Singleness In Your 30s
How is singleness after 30 different from singleness in your 20's , is it different? What do you think are some common misconceptions about singleness in the church, especially for those in their 30's or older? How have you, as a single person longing for marriage been able to cultivate Christ centered thoughts around your singleness while waiting?If you want to hear the answers to these questions
The Right View of Prosperity
Where do we often go wrong in how we define or pursue prosperity as Christians? Does the doctrine of “work and subduing the earth” imply that Christians should expect to become materially wealthy in their obedience to this command?

Traditional and Christian Marriage Counselling
Marriage is a God-given institution, and preparing for it is no small matter. In many of our families, traditional marriage counselling plays an important role, offering cultural wisdom and lessons from those who have gone before us. Yet as Christians, we know that our ultimate foundation for marriage is God’s Word, which calls us to reflect Christ and the Church in our relationships. Join us in t

I Am Not Married yet, and It Hurts!
Why does waiting for marriage feel so painful? For many Christians, singleness isn’t just a season—it can feel like a storm of unanswered prayers, unmet expectations, and quiet heartbreak.In this video, we explore the emotional and spiritual weight of delayed hopes, the pressure to stay strong, and the real questions many are afraid to ask: “Did God forget me?” or “What am I doing wrong?”If you or

When is it okay to Divorce?
Living in the real world has turned divorce into a reality that forces the church to make a stand. The standard by which we live, as presented in the Bible, says a hard no to divorce.

Having A Child Out of Wedlock
Having a child before one gets married tends to be a death sentence on the parents (usually the mother) within church circles. She is no longer viewed the same. Her prospects for a future spouse diminish. And then there are comments from church members who should know better. This goes in the face of the gospel that preaches and promises renewal and restoration but how is this renewal and restora

DO NOT READ THIS BOOK Before Marriage

The Virtue of the Christian Hustler
So much of what we discuss on this podcast comes down to worldview issues. The Christian has to view the world and his engagement with it in a particular way in order to please God. We have to know that there is a right and a wrong way to go about even the smallest details of life which is why we are exhorted in Paul's letter to the Corinthians to do all to the glory of God whether it is eating or
Playing a Dirty Game and Convinced He Can Win with Henry Chibutu
Politics looks dirtier with every passing year. Why would any reasonable Christian want to even get involved? Aren't there better ways to bring about change.

Legalism, Modesty and the Problem of Weddings with Charles Bota
Are weddings getting out of hand or do the old folk just have a problem? There have been a lot of comments about modern weddings and the extravagant nature of them. We should be able to determine if the complaints are genuine or simply a bygone generation feeling a little queasy that their tastes are no longer being catered to. In this episode we have Charles Bota, an Elder at Kabwata Baptist Chur
When Fear Becomes Irrational
Fear is not a bad thing, in and of itself. The bible teaches us to fear the right things and not to fear the wrong things. This presents us with an interesting dilemma. How do we determine when we are experiencing the right fear. When does our fear become sinful. This issue becomes even more relevant because of the fear of death that is prevalent in our society. Before writing off one another for
Receiving Bad Help For Your Pornography Problem
Not all help is good help. The book of Proverbs speaks of the value of multiple counsellors but also of the ruin that may come from too many friends. This presents the reader with the problem of determining what constitutes good advice. With a problem like pornography this is even more essential because if one cannot make this judgement call, they would find themselves on an endless loop heading
Pornography IS a perversion of something good
Christianity says sex is a good thing and yet at the same time claims pornography is immoral. It is not enough to say pornography is wrong just because we do not like it because our morality is not to be based on our likes and dislikes but instead on what the Bible says. And so the question must be answered, what is the issue with pornography and why should Christians stand their ground saying it
Will my loved ones ever become Christians?
This is a question that haunts all Christians who have been praying for the salvation of friends and family for years and things seem to only get worse. Is there hope?

I feel like my boss hates me. What do I do?
Every so often we find ourselves working under a boss who is overly critical of what we do. We might even go as far as to say the boss hates you.

A Journey Through Child Loss ft. Chisomo Wakumelo
A major sign of the taboo and stigma around losing a child is that you only know about others having lost their children when you lose yours.

In this special episode we have Chisomo Wakumelo joining us as we talk about this matter and a new project Chisomo has starte

In today's episode Pastor Sibale breaks down how Christians should go about living with non-Christians. Is there a different approach when there are more Christians in the house than non-Christian's?
