This week on the Oasis Podcast we are privileged to have local Brookings Author, Melissa Vande Kieft with us! Listen in as the Oasis staff (Brennen and Jaena) talk with Melissa about her book "Living in the Wait" and how to use delays in life differently.

We use words a lot but, have you ever thought about the underlining meanings or motives of your words? Most likely, this isn't a regular occurrence. So this week on the Oasis Podcast, the Oasis staff (Brennen, Jaena, Dylan) talk about why what you say matters.

To finish up our series on identity, Ben is stepping in to let us know that we are part of something bigger than just ourselves. While a huge piece of who we are is individual, it's not the only piece. You are part of something bigger when we are a part of God's church.

What does it mean to be a part of something large? How do I fit in? Who are we as God's people?

Find all that and more when you watch this week's message - "You Are a Part of the Whole"

A huge part, if not the biggest, of the Christian faith is a life marked by prayer. We love and serve a relational God who desires to speak and have conversations with His children. But prayer is a huge task and can easily become overwhelming. Where do we start? What are some good prayer practices? What may be important in prayer? Take a jump into the conversation of our prayer lives this week with the Oasis staff (Brennen, Jaena, Dylan).

Creation vs. Evolution is a long and heated debate. It can seem so little but also has much larger implications. Because of this conversation, we get the questions:

Where did we come from? How did we get here? Why do we exist? Why do we matter/have value? What’s our purpose/do we have a purpose?

This week on the Oasis Podcast, the staff (Brennen, Jaena, Ben) open up the conversation on this topic to help you discern creation/evolution.

Bitterness is so easily found in today's world, and so destructive to our relationships if left unchecked. Same with cynicism, a prolonged being of bitterness. 

What is bitterness and cynicism? How do we fight it? Why does it even matter?

All this and more on this week's episode of the Oasis Podcast as the staff (Brennen, Jaena, Dylan) talk bitterness and cynicism.

In week three of our series "God is..." Pastor Brennen Schmitt, the lead pastor of Oasis, speaks on how God is in control in every season. Through the story of Mark 4 where Jesus is found sleeping on the boat in the midst of the raging storm, we see how God is in control. What does it mean that God is in control? How do we know He is in control? How do we have faith to trust Him in the chaos? All that and more when you listen to this week's message - "God is In Control." Message Delivered: 10/16/2022

In week two of our series "God is..." Pastor Steve Norby, the lead pastor at GracePoint, came to speak about how God is love. Through the book of John and the creation account in Genesis, we see how God is love. 

How do we know God is love? What does it mean for us if he is? How should we live in light of that?

All that and more when you listen to this week's message - "God is Love."
