episodic Radio Kenya United Podcast is where the music pauses and the stories breathe.

Hosted as a companion to Radio Kenya United, this podcast creates space for deeper conversations at the intersection of faith, mental health, and culture. Each episode slows things down—listening to real people, real struggles, and real hope as belief meets everyday life.

We talk about faith without pretending, mental health without stigma, and culture without nostalgia or shame. These are conversations shaped by the African and Kenyan diaspora, but open to anyone searching for meaning, healing, and belonging.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just honest storytelling, thoughtful reflection, and room to think, doubt, pray, and grow.

Telling our story together—one conversation at a time.

We invite you to settle in, open your heart, and prepare for a meaningful exploration of this timeless passage.

One of the most inspiring speeches to the motherland Africa is “The Birth of A New Nation”, a Sermon Delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama on April 7, 1957. The basis of this momentous speech, is his visit to Ghana in 1957 (SHOW MLKJr_06) to attend the nation’s independence celebrations. The experience deeply moved King, seeing parallels between Ghana's liberation from colonial rule and the civil rights struggle in the United States. This trip reinforced his belief in the global nature of the struggle for freedom and justice. King expressed solidarity with Africans struggling against colonialism and seeking independence.

He recognized the parallels between the civil rights struggle in the United States and the fight against colonial rule in Africa. King believed that this shared struggle against oppression and for equality and self-determination created a sense of kinship.

In this podcast, we pick a few lessons from Dr. King.

I do not think so! Christianity just like African Traditional Religion(s) is an African religion. European Christianity is what is a latecomer in Africa. We must decolonize our perception of religious history in Africa. Have you ever wondered why Africa and Africans are mentioned so many times in the Bible, and positively so?

I marvel at how many of us see Christianity as a foreign religion that came with colonization.  That is only half of the story: history, art, colonization, theology, slavery, among other have crowded our judgments on this matter!
