With Christmas just right around the corner, we wanted to talk about all those gifts you asked for!  Don't worry, you can still ask for them, just think about this first...

What the heck even is materialism? What does Jesus and the rest of the Bible teach about material possessions? Is there practical advice we'd give when it comes to this topic?

Tune in to hear what the Oasis staff (Ben, Jaena, and Brennen) has to say on Apple products and Santa deliveries.

Music is everywhere! So, we better talk about it.

First, we talk all about music as it plays out in the Christian walk such as musical worship! Praising Jesus is so much of what we do! Then, we move to answer some questions about other types of music. 

Should Christians listen to only Christian music? Should they listen to secular music too? Maybe, even rap??? 

Tune in to hear what the Oasis staff (Ben, Jaena, and Brennen) has to say on spitting bars with our Savior. 

With only one message for Christmas this year, Brennen focuses in on the story of Joseph!

Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, has an incredible story of faithfulness that we can learn from today! Through his young adult years, Joseph struggles with some of the most prominent things we struggle with today - Relationships and the Future. Yet, he consistently listens to God's voice and faithfully obeys him. Even more powerful is that through his faithfulness, God brings fulfillment.

Should I stay where I'm at? Should I go somewhere else? How do I live faithfully in everyday life?

In this episode, we are going to answer some common questions starting with "Can Christians...?" Many times, we just want a straightforward "yes or no" to these questions, but it's not always that simple. 

The questions are - "Can Christians get tattoos?" "Can Christians use marijuana?" and "Can Christians wear leggings?" However, just because we answered only three doesn't mean there aren't a million more. If you have a "Can Christians...?" question, hit us up on Instagram or Facebook and we would love to chat about it.

There's this big chunk of books in the first half of your Bible Christians always call "old." Let's talk about those. With some fast facts and some questions, we are diving into why the Old Testament is important for us Christians today!

Is the Old Testament real people and real stories? Are these stories reliable and accurate? Am I really supposed to read all of that? Do I miss anything if I just read the "new" stuff?

Tune in to hear what the Oasis staff (Ben, Jaena, and Brennen) has to say on the words before Jesus shows up. 

With week three in our "Mosaic" series, Jaena brings us the Gospel according to Luke!

Luke brings us the most comprehensive of the four gospel accounts by traveling around and researching the story of Jesus. He tells stories of Jesus's teaching and miracles, but he does so in a way that is understandable to the common gentile. 

Who is the Gospel for? How does Luke show that through Jesus? What does that mean for me today?

So, what's the deal with women pastors? Yes, that does sound like the bad opening line to a stand-up comedy routine, but really it's the conversation we are having today!

Can and should women hold leadership positions in the church? What about if women can and should preach? Why do we not see that many women in these roles? Lastly, and most importantly, what does the Bible say about this topic of church and gender roles? 

Tune in to hear what the Oasis staff (Ben, Jaena, and Brennen) has to say about the XX chromosome bunch and the church.

Mark writes down Peter's story and leads us through the life of Jesus in a new way! How does the "Ladder of Success" show up in Mark's book? Through the actions of Jesus, then the Authority of Jesus, we get to Jesus's idea of success. 

What does success in the Kingdom of Heaven look like? What is the cross Jesus is asking me to carry? How do I lay my life down in service to others?
