The Divine Exchange

🎙️ Podcast Episode Title: The Divine Exchange – Trading Ashes for Glory
📅 Date: Sunday 30th November 2025

Episode Description:

This week on The Deep Dive, we unpack “The Divine Exchange”, a powerful and hope-filled sermon delivered by Brother Joel Gaddam at KCC AoG Church, Old Town – Swindon, based on Isaiah 61:1–3.

What does it mean to trade ashes for a crown of beauty, mourning for joy, and despair for praise? Brother Joel explores God’s supernatural offer to exchange our ruin, sorrow, and sin for restoration, dignity and purpose. From a heartfelt childhood analogy of a false trade in India to the ultimate exchange completed at the cross of Jesus Christ, this episode journeys through personal stories, scriptural truths and practical steps to embrace the fullness of God’s redemptive love.

We reflect on how to trust God in suffering, how to break free from the trap of seeking others’ approval, and how solitary prayer can re-centre our spiritual walk. Plus, we explore how being restored by God empowers us to become rebuilders in a broken world.

Whether you’re carrying grief, guilt, or just feel stuck—this conversation will remind you that God sees the next level, even if you're still in the ashes.
