Inspiring stories from Nairobi, Kenya

Young Authors: Chase Your God-Given Dream and Work Hard!

Two young authors from Nairobi, Kenya. Two books. One powerful message for dreamers everywhere: God can put a dream in your heart—but you have to be willing to work hard for it!

This Week on Maasbach Radio: Meet Favour & Jeremy!

How young is too young to pursue a dream? For Favour Fadhili and Jeremy Berur, the answer is simple: you are never too young to start!

This week on Maasbach Radio, we are bringing you two inspiring young authors from Nairobi, Kenya, who have already taken an incredible step towards fulfilling their dreams. Both Favour and Jeremy have written and published their very first book!

During this special Peptalk Thursday, they will share their stories, talk about their journey as young authors and encourage listeners around the world to pursue the dream that God has placed in their hearts. But there is one important message they want you to remember: Dreaming is important, but dreams also require hard work!


Meet Jeremy Berur

Jeremy Berur is an inspiring young author from Nairobi, Kenya. At a young age, Jeremy has already achieved something many people dream about: he has written and published his first book!

His book, You Too Can Be God’s Hero!, encourages young readers through biblical stories and lessons about faith, courage and godly character. Jeremy’s message is especially powerful for children and young people: God can use you!

You don’t have to wait until you are older before you begin discovering your gifts. You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect before taking the first step. God can place dreams, ideas, talents and purpose in your heart right now.

But discovering a dream is only the beginning. You also have to learn. You have to grow. You have to keep going. And you have to be willing to work hard.

Meet Favour Fadhili

Favour Fadhili is a another talented young author from Kenya and the author of her debut novel, The Silent Take, the first book in the Of Virtue & Venom series.

The story follows seventeen-year-old Joe Lard, whose seemingly comfortable life begins to fall apart when he discovers something sinister involving his teacher. What follows is a dramatic journey involving danger, betrayal, kidnapping and survival.

As Joe and his sisters find themselves trapped and separated from the life they once knew, their family faces difficult questions, painful memories and an urgent search to bring them home. Throughout the story, themes of faith, love and perseverance stand against cruelty and corruption.

Favour’s journey is a beautiful reminder that a dream can begin long before you feel completely ready. With dedication, discipline and the courage to start, a simple idea can become something real that reaches other people.

A Peptalk for Every Dreamer

Maybe God has put a dream in your heart. Perhaps you want to write a book. Maybe you dream about becoming a musician, starting a business, helping people, creating something new or using your gifts to make a difference for God’s Kingdom. Whatever that dream may be, don’t ignore it.

Pray about it. Develop it. Take the first step. And then… work hard!

A dream without action will remain only a dream. God may give you the vision, but you have to be willing to put your hands to work. There will be moments when it feels difficult. There may be times when you don’t feel talented enough, experienced enough or ready enough.

Start anyway. Learn anyway. Keep going anyway.

Favour and Jeremy’s stories are a wonderful reminder that age does not determine whether God can use you. Great things can begin with one idea, one step and the willingness to work towards what God has placed in your heart.

Tune In This Thursday for Peptalk Thursday!

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation with Favour Fadhili and Jeremy Berur, coming to you from Nairobi, Kenya! Hear about their books, their journey and the dreams they have pursued at such a young age. And most importantly, be encouraged to look again at the dream God has placed inside of you.

🎙️ Tune in this Thursday during PEPTALK on Maasbach Radio and hear the inspiring stories of these two young authors!

Lizzie Morgan

Lizzie Morgan Joins Maasbach Radio for a Heart-to-Heart Conversation About Knowing God in the Secret Place

What does it really look like to know God? Not just in the moments when life is quiet, but when your calendar is full, your responsibilities are piling up, and your schedule feels completely crazy?

That is the heart of a powerful new conversation on Maasbach Radio, featuring worship leader and singer-songwriter Lizzie Morgan.

In this special Heart to Heart conversation, Lizzie opens up about one of the most important parts of our walk with God: cultivating a personal relationship with Him in the secret place. Together, they explore what it means to intentionally make room for God, hear His voice, and pursue intimacy with Him even when life gets busy.

Knowing God beyond the stage

Lizzie Morgan is known for her powerful voice, passionate worship leading, and music that points people toward the presence of God. But behind the music and the stage is a woman who has learned the importance of knowing God personally.

Raised in her grandparents’ church just outside Nashville, Lizzie began singing at just five years old. She later stepped into professional ministry and music, singing background vocals for Lauren Daigle for four years before touring and performing with Maverick City Music and Red Worship. She has also been involved in songwriting and collaborations with artists across the worship and Christian music world.

Lizzie has since stepped into her own artistry, releasing her debut live worship album Not My Will, a deeply personal project centered around worship, surrender and obedience to God.

But for Lizzie, the goal has never simply been to become a successful artist.

“Over everything, I hope people describe me as a worshipper first.”

That heart comes through in both her music and this conversation.

Don’t miss this Heart to Heart

Whether you are a worship leader, a busy parent, a student, a ministry worker, or simply someone who wants to grow closer to God, this conversation will encourage you to examine your own relationship with Him.

Where is your secret place?

How do you make room for God when life gets busy?

Watch the full Heart to Heart conversation with Lizzie Morgan in the video below. Take some time to listen, be encouraged, and allow this conversation to remind you that no matter how full your schedule becomes, there is always an invitation to come away with God and know Him more deeply.

Building God’s Kingdom and Staying Watchful: Jesse Alcantara on Maasbach Radio

How can we be the light of the world in a generation that desperately needs Jesus? And what does it really mean to be prepared for His return?

In this inspiring Portuguese interview on Maasbach Radio, Brazilian worship artist Jesse Alcantara shares his heart for the Gospel and encourages believers to live every day with eternity in mind.

Known for his powerful song “Vigia”—inspired by Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25—Jesse explains why spiritual readiness is not about fear, but about cultivating a daily relationship with God. Through prayer, reading the Bible, and walking closely with the Holy Spirit, our lamps remain full of oil as we await Christ’s return.

Jesse also reflects on his own journey of faith. Raised in a Christian home, he shares how a personal encounter with Jesus transformed his life and led him to use music as a tool to proclaim the Gospel. No matter the musical style, his mission remains the same: pointing people to Jesus.

During the conversation, Jesse offers practical encouragement for every believer who desires to shine God’s light. He reminds us that our greatest testimony begins at home—in the moments when no one is watching. True faith is lived out in our daily walk with Christ, and when we genuinely reflect His love, the world will notice the difference.

The interview concludes with a heartfelt prayer for listeners around the world, asking God to strengthen every believer, bring hope to weary hearts, and empower His people to be lights in their homes, communities, and nations.

Finally, Jesse gives Maasbach Radio an exciting update on his ministry. He shares that he is completing the release of his first live DVD project, featuring ten songs including the impactful “Vigia.” As God continues to open new doors, Jesse remains passionate about reaching this generation with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.

Jaye King

Award-winning Christian artist Jay King recently joined Maasbach Radio for an inspiring conversation about faith, worship, miracles, and how God can transform even life’s hardest moments into a testimony of hope.

Known for his powerful song “Hard Place,” Jay King encouraged listeners around the world to keep trusting God, even when the path ahead isn’t clear.

“I’m watching God make ways where there seems to be no way,” Jay shared. “Sometimes you take steps of faith without seeing the whole journey, but God is a miracle-working God.”

God Still Works Miracles Today

During the interview, Jay reminded listeners that miracles are not just stories from the Bible—they are happening today. As people step out in faith, God faithfully provides direction, opens doors, and makes a way where there seems to be none.

The conversation echoed the heart of Maasbach Radio: encouraging people to believe that God is still moving in every nation and every generation.

Serving God Starts with One Step

When asked what advice he would give young people who dream of serving on a worship team, Jay offered simple but powerful encouragement:

Face your fears. Start serving. Keep learning.

Drawing from his own experience growing up in church, he explained that many of his musical gifts were developed simply by showing up, serving faithfully, and learning from others around him.

From Fatherlessness to Finding Spiritual Fathers

One of the most moving moments of the interview came when Jay opened up about growing up without his father present.

He shared how that absence affected many areas of his life, but also how God faithfully brought godly mentors and spiritual fathers alongside him. Those men invested in him, encouraged him, and helped shape the leader he is today.

“God uses people,” Jay explained. “Our greatest resource is people.” Through those relationships, what could have remained a painful story became a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

Your Mess Can Become Your Message

A central theme throughout the interview was that everyone has a story.

Whether you’re walking through hardship today or looking back on what God has already brought you through, your testimony has the power to encourage someone else.

Jay reminded listeners that God specializes in redeeming brokenness and using it for His glory. No matter what you’ve experienced, God can bring healing, purpose, and hope.

A Prayer for Every Listener

The interview concluded with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to remind every listener that they are never alone.

Jay prayed that God would strengthen people, reveal His presence in every season, and help them recognize that even what the enemy intends for evil, God is able to turn for good.

New Music Coming Soon

Jay King also shared exciting news about his upcoming album, describing it as a collection of songs that tell honest stories while showcasing new musical styles. He expressed his gratitude that God is using his music as a source of hope and encouragement for listeners around the world.

Zach Williams: There was Jesus

A moving bilingual duet in this special Summer Song release!

In the waiting, in the searching
In the healing and the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I’ve been and where I’m going
Even when I didn’t know it or couldn’t see it
There was Jesus

Zach Williams and Christy Grace sing an English and Dutch mash up of the hitsong ‘There was Jesus’.

Confidence Boosters

Have you ever heard of affirmations? Affirmations are short, powerful sentences that declare something as true — often about yourself, your purpose, or your future — to help reinforce a positive mindset. But did you know that this is actually a principle from the word of God? Life and death is in the power of the tongue! (Proverbs 18:21)

Affirmations are declarations of faith — spoken truths aligned with God’s Word — that remind you who you are in Christ and what He has promised.

So speak these truths over yourself, out loud! They are all based on the word of God and are true for the children of God!

I am walking in God’s divine purpose.

Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

I am wise and make good decisions.

James 1:5
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

I am forgiven and free from my past.

2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

I am prosperous and live in abundance.

Psalm 1:3
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”

I am filled with peace and joy.

Romans 15:13
“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

I am a child of God—loved and chosen.

Ephesians 1:4-5
“…just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world… having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will…”

I am becoming the best version of myself.

Philippians 1:6
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

I am disciplined and focused.

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

I am qualified and equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:17
“That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

I am confident and courageous.

Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Overcoming Every Fiery Dart with Biblical Truth

Every believer faces battles. The Bible describes them as the fiery darts of the enemy: thoughts, fears, temptations, lies, and discouragements that seek to weaken our faith and draw us away from God. Yet God has not left us defenseless. He has given us His Word as a weapon of truth.

When temptation comes, there is a promise. When fear arises, there is a promise. When sorrow, anxiety, injustice, or spiritual opposition try to overwhelm us, God’s Word speaks a greater truth. These Scriptures are reminders of who God is, what He has promised, and how we can stand firm in every season.

Use these verses to pray, meditate, declare, and fight back against every fiery dart with the truth of God’s Word:

‘But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.’

‘Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’

Depression — 1 Peter 5:7

‘casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.’

Grief, Disappointment, Discouragement — Psalm 34:19

‘Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.’

Greed or Jealousy — Hebrews 13:5

‘Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”’

‘We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed’

Difficult Decisions — Psalm 23:4

‘Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.’

Financial Problems — Philippians 4:19

‘And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’

Does God Know Me? — Jeremiah 29:11

‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.’

Spiritual Oppression and Bondage — James 4:7

‘Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.’

Being Treated Unjustly — Romans 12:19

‘Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.’

Bitterness and Resentment — Ephesians 4:26–27

‘“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.’

Am I Worth Anything? — John 3:16

‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.’
