Oasis of Hope Podcast

Thank you for stopping by. Life raises hard questions. Oasis of Hope brings them to God's Word.Hosted by Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti, this Christian faith and biblical teaching podcast offers scripture-grounded conversation on the real challenges believers face: spiritual growth, faith, relationships, cultural pressures, and living a kingdom life in a complex and complicated world. Each episode is rooted in prayer, anchored in truth, and offered with pastoral warmth to followers of Christ around the globe. Wherever you are in your walk with God, there is hope here!Scripture Reference: “But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” – Matthew 13: 8-9We appreciate all your feedback from the last episode 101 about the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the lives of followers of Christ. We are grateful to God and count it an honor to serve you, your families and communities. In this episode 102, we examine some life analogy of how the human heart must be good ground for the Word of God to flourish in our lives as Christ’s ambassadors. The word “heart” appears over 1000 times in the Bible. This tells us how important God places a high priority on the human heart. Keeping our hearts pure is a calling for all followers of Christ, because the human heart is prone to distraction, deception and destruction.  The condition of our hearts as Christ’s followers determine how deep the Word of God can take root and bear godly fruits in our lives. You can now join many across the nation to pray continuously for our nation, leaders, systems and for others. Through the platform- America Prays, join hearts in prayer for God’s continued blessings upon America and its precious people. Our Savior Jesus Christ showed us the Father’s heart through the model Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6: 9-13. This is a reminder of God’s perfect love for His people. As we celebrate fathers this month, we pray God’s blessings on all fathers far and near. Happy Father’s Day. With summer time upon us, we hope you and your families have a fun and restful time. In Christ's Love,  Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti

Wherever you are in your walk with God, there is hope here!Scripture Reference: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” - John 14:26A nation that sets its gaze towards God is a nation that God will bless! (Psalm 33:12- “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance”). As a nation we get to rededicate USA to the LORD as part of the 250th celebration of the independence of our nation on May 17, 2026. We encourage Christians no matter where you are to participate in prayer, worship and thanksgiving. Let us usher in the healing balm of the LORD as we follow through the scripture truth from 2 Chronicles 7:14- “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Followers of Christ all around the world are also setting their gaze towards Pentecost. This year Pentecost falls on Sunday, May 24, 2026. Pentecost is a celebration of the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Christ as explained in the Book of Acts 2: 1-31. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity that abides with believers (Romans 8:11). The Holy Spirit helps us to live in accordance to God’s ways. Our lives are under God’s eternal governance and require His truth to ensure Christ’s body of believers are exactly who He created us to in our world. In a time that there are myriads of deceptions, masquerading as truth, it is important for followers of Christ to stake their lives on the unshakable truth of God's Word. The Word of God has the power to do the following in our daily lives:Sustain believers (Jeremiah 15:16-18)Feed believers (1 Peter 2:2)Quench believers’ thirst (John 4:14)Fill believers (Colossians 3:16-18)Wash believers (Ephesians 5:20)We need the help of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives to sustain us, feed us, quench thirst, fill us and wash us daily in God’s holy Word. Without His guidance, assistance and friendship followers of Christ tend to lose their way in a chaotic world. As we look towards Pentecost this year, we encourage you to cultivate a deep friendship with the Holy Spirit. The impact and fruit from a Holy Spirit governed life brings honor and glory to God! (John 15:5).   In Christ's Love,  Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti

But before we look to Easter- Resurrection Day, let us sit with the great importance of Good Friday- the day we remember with thanksgiving the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for humanity.Someone out there in the world, may ask- there is nothing “good” about the day that a man was nailed to the cross and killed. This where we get this opportunity to share the Word of God with anyone struggling with this question. First, Jesus Christ is not just a man like us humans. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus Christ is God- the second Person of the Trinity. He is God incarnate – meaning Divinity made flesh. Jesus Christ did become man like us, yet He was God.Secondly, Jesus Christ was not killed. He willingly gave Himself to go to the cross for mankind in alignment with God’s plan of redemption for mankind. Lastly, Jesus Christ was fulfilling the plan of God for man’s redemption.It was a Good Friday because our Savior went to the cross willingly with love for mankind. Good Friday is what made Easter possible. Without Good Friday, we have no hope of eternity. Without Good Friday we have no friendship with God. Without Good Friday, we have no atonement of our sins. It is only because of Good Friday; we get to God through Jesus Christ our Savior. It was you that Jesus Christ was thinking about when He was on that cross.This Easter is a great time to come to Jesus Christ. He is saying to you today- no matter where you are, what you have done, how far you may have gone, He is reaching out with arms wide open- beckoning you to come to Him. Come and find new life in Jesus Christ. Begin your resurrected life in Christ today! It is as simple as praying along with us here (scroll down to the Prayer Forum). Let us know you prayed and asked Jesus Christ into your heart and life. We would love to connect you with fellow believers in Christ in your area.In this episode 100 of Oasis of Hope Podcast, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti share the importance of Good Friday and why it is a must for Easter. On this centennial milestone episode of Oasis of Hope Podcast, we want to thank each of you for engaging with us with your questions, feedback and encouragement. We are blessed and honored to journey together as we continue to advance the kingdom of God.  A special shout-out to the Black Podcast Network for their support. We are grateful to God for the privilege of serving His people.In Christ's Love,Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti

Starting on Ash Wednesday (February 18), followers in Christ are encouraged to journey through lent this year for the next 40 days finishing on Easter day on April 5th. The lent season is a great opportunity for believers in Christ to continue to stay in the place of prayer for the many needs of families, friends, churches, nations, and communities. "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving" (Colossians 4:2).Lent season is a time to renew, revive and flourish in one's relationship with God, growing even deeper roots that bear eternal fruits. In a time when many desire to know Jesus Christ in a personal way, followers of Christ have a great opportunity to share their salvation testimonies, share God's supernatural works, share answers to prayers, share their overcoming stories, and share why Christ is the source of their lives and sustenance.  In this episode 99 of Oasis of Hope Podcast, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti share some ways to journey through this year's lent season, answer a question from the last episode and what lent means to the life of a believer in Christ. Share this episode with friends, family and your networks. Beloved, stay grounded in God's Word, stay grounded in prayer, stay grounded in worship, stay grounded in community with fellow believers in Christ, and stay grounded with an eternal focus. With these postures followers of Christ get to live out Hebrews 12:28, "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe." We are grateful to God for the privilege of serving His people.  In Christ's Love,Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti
