Finding Purpose Through Faith - A Conversation with Lindani Gumede

Loading player...
In this heartfelt episode, host Carlette welcomes Lindani Gumede, an associate pastor from Somerset West, Cape Town, who shares his remarkable journey of faith, calling, and restoration.
Lindani recounts how he first received his calling to ministry as a teenager and initially resisted pursuing theology until a providential encounter with a performing arts and ministry school. With candor and vulnerability, he discusses the challenges he and his wife faced in ministry, including "institutional trauma" that nearly led to divorce.
The conversation explores how they overcame these difficulties through faith and commitment to their marriage, ultimately rebuilding their lives in Cape Town. In a powerful testimony of divine blessing, Lindani shares how he and his wife were told they couldn't have children, only to be blessed with two miraculous pregnancies.
Lindani offers inspiring words of hope for young people, emphasizing that God has used youth throughout biblical history to create change. The episode concludes with his encouragement that with God's spirit, today's youth can overcome the "Goliaths" of unemployment, gender-based violence, and disease facing South Africa.
A compelling story of calling, restoration, and hope that reminds listeners of the transformative power of faith.
