   Invited Relationship to Grow | Mother's Day | John 2 | Dr. AO

   In this Mother’s Day message from John 2 at Oasis Church Kingman, we continue the journey from “why” Jesus to “my” Jesus by exploring what it means to be invited into a growing relationship with Christ.

   Is God Enough for Today? Living in the Tension of Heaven and Earth

   In this powerful message, Dr. AO invites listeners into a raw, personal conversation about what it means to live out Romans 12—not just as a verse, but as a life.

This episode unpacks how to live in the tension between heaven and earth, how to test the strength of your spiritual rope, and what happens when our hope wears thin. Thr...
