    Episode 79: The Table of Communion

    Commemorating the Last Supper Jesus Christ had with His twelve disciples is a holy observation by millions of Christians around the world. As scriptures instruct, commemorating this special  time is done with carefulness and intentionality. In 2 Corinthians 13:5 (Examine your selves to see whether you are in the faith; test your selves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?), there are elements of self-reflection, self-awareness and self- regulation to ensure the Lord’s Supper is taken with deep reverence by followers of Christ. Some Christians, also know this special time as the Eucharist, the Lord’s Table, Table of Communion or Holy Communion. The Table of Communion symbolizes Jesus ultimate sacrifice    on the cross to redeem humanity from eternal separation from God. Communion is a two-way street-our communion with God and communion with each other. Before taking a listen to this podcast, we encourage you to gather your communion elements (crackers and juice) and join into take communion at the end of the podcast. As followers of Christ, everything we do is through the lenses of eternity, and elections are not different. In this episode, Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti encourage Christians to approach these upcoming elections with carefulness and do their homework. Some things for Christians to think about as they prepare themselves are: (1) Pray for everyone (2 Chronicles 7:14, Proverb 14:34, 1 Timothy 2:1-2). (2) Respect for each other – no matter if a person is red, blue, in-between or none. (3) Refuse to hop on the hatred wagon no matter who the instigating leader is. (4) Study the candidates and determine your values, belief, conscience etc. (5) Above all else, remember we are Christ’s ambassadors foremost (salt and light). “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” – 2 Chronicle 7:14 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oasisofhopedrsobamehinti/support

    Episode 78: Lessons From Olympics

    The 2024 Summer Olympics was highly watched around the world. With one sport or the other as a favorite, the Olympics is a source of inspiration for young and old alike. Congratulations to all teams from around the world, representing their countries.The USA team came back with a total of 126 medals- 40 Gold, 44 Silver and 42 Bronze! For followers of Christ, there are some lessons to glean from the Olympics. In fact, the Bible uses sports as an analogy of how Christians are to live their lives. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, states, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.And every man that strive for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible." In this episode, Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti encourage followers of Christ with three key lessons from the Olympics. Walking with God requires discipline to stay deeply committed to Christ, so we can represent Christ well. It's time for followers of Christ to stand up and be counted for the Kingdom of God! "Now then we are ambassadors for Christ" - 2 Corinthians 5:20 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oasisofhopedrsobamehinti/support

    Episode 77: State of the Church

    The last few weeks have had many heads turning about the state of the church - aka the Body of Christ. The secular world took a dive into the credibility of the church as a whole. In this episode 77 of Oasis of Hope focused on the state of the church, Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti, answer some of the key questions asked in the wake of the recent unravelings in the church. The credibility of the gospel stands and is unshaken because of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. From a Biblical perspective, they discuss and answer the questions on abuse, culture and NDAs in the Body of Christ. Their hope and prayer is that this episode will spur more followers of Christ to stand in the gap of prayer for our communities, churches and families.  "Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:9-13). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oasisofhopedrsobamehinti/support

    Episode 76: Cultural Leadership

    In a 2022 article by MIT Sloan Management Review, Cipolli, Sull, Brighenti and Sull highlight some toxic cultural attributes of our time. These attributes permeate many areas of our culture - industries, communities, churches, schools and the list goes on. However, followers of Christ need not worry, because the Bible provides  some arsenal to navigate these cultural toxicities. These toxic cultural attributes referred to as the spirit of Saul are nothing new. In this cultural leadership episode, Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti discuss and answer the question of how to navigate these cultural toxicities. They explain with  examples this spirit of Saul. And they offer ways for Christians to be empowered and equipped against these toxic tides with the help of the Holy Spirit. This is one episode you want to share with everyone in your network. Together the life of God in each Christian dispels these toxic tides. The kingdom of God is at hand; time for Christians to arise! "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity" ( 2 Peter 1: 5-7).  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oasisofhopedrsobamehinti/support

    Episode 74: The Power of Forgiveness

    In the past ten years we have seen the rise of antisemitism across the world. Historians have credited antisemitism as the root cause of the atrocious Holocaust against Jews. This hatred was the belief system of the Nazi ideology. The Holocaust was the systematic, government launched target, persecution, brutal mistreatment, gassing, deadly living conditions and killings of six million European Jews between 1933 and 1945 (Holocaust Encyclopedia). For many survivors of the Holocaust living through such dehumanization came at a high price for them and their families. In this special episode, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti host Holocaust survivor Mrs. Rosian Zerner- who was born in Lithuania. In 1941, when Germany invaded their town, she and her family were confined to the Kovno concentration camp. Through the help of her parents, she was able to escape through a hole they dug under the fence of the confinement quarters. She was met by her father's secretary and hidden by several rescuers before being liberated by Soviet troops in 1944. Surviving such atrocities to live a successful life takes the power of forgiveness, grit and love, both for self and others. The Bible provides the guide on the freedom that comes through forgiveness. The medical field attests to the power of forgiveness. In a series written by John Hopkins Medicine, it states that one's health depends on forgiveness. In an article in the Harvard Medical School published in 2021, some methods of forgiveness were explored to help people overcome unforgiveness. However the Bible already provided why unforgiveness can be a self-imposed prison for anyone. Matthew 6:14 states, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."  Take a listen as Mrs. Zerner shares why she forgave her persecutors, how she was able to do that and how she has blazed a trail for peace and love around the world, speaking out about her lived experience as a Holocaust survivor. This is one episode you do not want to miss. Tell a friend, pull up a chair with your favorite tea or coffee and take a listen. "Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins" 1 Peter 4:3 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oasisofhopedrsobamehinti/support

    Episode 73: Our Living Hope

    This year Easter is in the month of March. Easter is that special time that Christians around the world celebrate the reality of the cross in their lives. If we sat down with believers from around the world and ask each one, who Jesus Christ is to him or her, we will find a common thread- Jesus saved them by His amazing grace. Jesus redeemed them by His precious blood shed on the cross. Jesus has given them the assurance of eternal life. The list will be an extremely long one about who Jesus is to Christians. In this episode, Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti share from the wells of their relationship with Christ about who He is to them. As we prepare to celebrate Easter, we offer Jesus Christ to you. He is the gift that never stops giving. He is the fountain that never runs dry. He is the light that never goes out. And when Jesus Christ lights the lives of His people, no human can ever put that light out. This is our Living Hope and we offer Him to you this Easter. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." - 1 Peter 1:3 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oasisofhopedrsobamehinti/support

    Episode 72: The Medicine of Love

    The month of February kicks off Black History month- which is America's history. Many feel we don't need a Black History. But we do. Black History is our history as a human race. Same thing for Latino history. African history. Native American history. In this episode, Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti discuss the power of love and its many benefits as an antidote to hatred. Not just this month, but all months, let us give love a chance to transform our world. The God kind of love has the power to heal, deliver and make whole. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oasisofhopedrsobamehinti/support
