Almost nothing can fully prepare you for the pain that comes with losing someone you love. The truth is, many believers are not well equipped to deal with suffering, and yet Jesus told us that in this world, we will have trouble.
So is it possible that you can be Christian and experience a pain so deep, yet remain fully grounded in the Lord?
Ps James Lalobo who’s a Christian and a Pastor has had his fair share of grief and yet he says it has drawn him closer to the Lord. He shares his story in this episode and gives encouragement to believers who may be going through grief that it is possible to have hope & to walk with God through it.

Faith Without Borders
There’s no limit to what God can do with a life fully surrendered to Him. Ps Gary & Marilyn Skinner’s lives can attest to that.

On this episode, they sit down with Hush & Mbithi to talk about the reality of being missionaries, the prices they paid, the triumphs they experienced but overall, how faith in God lit their way.

We are back - Now let’s talk about Accountability.
Let’s agree on something. Accountability to one another is necessary in our Christian walk. We are accountable to God first, as Hebrews 4:13 tells us and we must have a community of believers to whom we are accountable. This community encourages us, corrects us, reminds us of the word of God when we get off track.
In this episode, Hush & Mbithi get into their experience with accountability and Godly community, how important it is for a believer’s walk with the Lord & how you can get accountability partners.

Welcome to Season 2
Hey there, Welcome to Season 2! We’re glad to be back. One of the most common questions we got is “why the name Down & Up?” The apostle Paul challenges us to shift our focus from earthly pursuits to heavenly matters. 'Down' signifies worldly concerns and self-centered ambitions that distract us from God's purpose, while
'up' directs us to set our hearts on things above seeking a deeper connection with God, pursuing spiritual growth, and aligning our lives with His will.
Join us as we explore the transformative power of this biblical wisdom and how it can inspire us to live a godly life. Welcome to the Down & Up Podcast

Chin Up, Child
Hey Lovely People, thank you so much for following along with us. On this final Episode of Season 1, One Half again shares with us some encouragement. It’s so easy for us as believers to start to feel a sense of hopelessness when we look at how evil and dark our world is becoming. And in case you didn’t know, the Bible tells us it’s only getting worse. It may not look like it, but this is good news and the believer ought to rejoice. In this episode, we take a look at why we should be joyful and hopeful amidst the darkness.

The God said Card - Part 1
Among the many benefits of the sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary is access to the Father. Through a personal relationship with God, we are able to speak to Him and He speaks to us too. How many times though have we thought God spoke, when He probably didn’t, or we heard wrong or maybe, just maybe, we spoke what we wanted to hear and convinced ourselves it was God?🌚 We’ve been culprits of this many times and in this episode, Hush and Mbithi share what they have learnt so far on the journey of hearing and mishearing God. 😊

Familiar, Familiar!
A wise man once said, “Fear only two; God and the man who doesn’t fear God.” In a world where many believers have lost the reverence for God, this episode calls us to remember one thing, ‘He is God and we are not.’ And because of that, we don’t get to dictate how God must be worshipped and feared. He reserves the right to!
