The Podcast
Generational Curses, Spiritual Fatherhood and Church Discipline
“What if the pastor who put you under discipline has died? Can you still be forgiven?”
That’s just one of the hard-hitting questions tackled in this raw and riveting panel discussion recorded live in Kampala, Uganda. With honesty, insight, and pastoral clarity, three Ugandan leaders dig deep into the challenges and opportunities of Christian mentorship in today’s church.
From spiritual fatherhood in West African contexts to generational curses, from the fear of feedback to the gift of correction, the conversation is bold, biblical, and deeply rooted in experience.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What intentional and relational mentorship looks like in real churches
- Why good theology isn’t enough if the lifestyle doesn’t match
- How to begin a mentoring relationship—and why “specific asks” matter
- Can someone be mentored by books alone?
- How to recover from spiritual wounds—even when the person who hurt you is gone
- Who has the right to critique your sermon (and how to hear them without ego)
- A pastoral response to teachings on generational curses
- Where to give your tithe, and why it’s more than just a financial question
Meet the Panel:
- Pastor Kyomuhuendo Nicholas – leads Calvary Chapel Fort Portal with a heart for discipleship and spiritual formation.
- Dr. Juvintine Emuku – A medical doctor who also serves at Calvary Chapel Soroti, bringing theological depth and local insight to pastoral ministry.
- Rev. Raymond L. Bukenya – theologian, apologist, and team leader at Tru Tangazo Uganda, Raymond is passionate about equipping believers to proclaim and defend the truth of the gospel in an age of scepticism. A graduate of Wycliffe Hall (University of Oxford), the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, and the University of Winchester, he also teaches with Calvary Chapel Bible College Kampala and The Shepherds Academy. He and his wife Lynn are raising seven children—four boys and three girls.
Whether you're mentoring others or looking for someone to guide you, this conversation will challenge your assumptions, encourage your heart, and help you pursue Christ-centred relationships that shape leaders and strengthen the church.
