Grow Anyway
Welcome to the Grow Anyway podcast—where healing gets honest, leadership gets personal, and emotional stability becomes part of your everyday rhythm. Hosted by Dr. Amy Oberg, psychologist, author, and founder of Hope & Health Hub, alongside her husband Dennis Oberg, lead pastor of Oasis Church and ministry coach, this podcast is where mental health meets faith and where struggle becomes seed for growth.
Dr. AO shares the origin story of Grow Anyway, unpack the seven core human struggles, and explain why they believe emotional regulation, spiritual resilience, and daily habits are essential for sanity in today’s overstimulated world. You’ll also hear how their personal lives, counseling practices, and church ministry all intersect around one simple truth: we don’t have to wait for perfect conditions to grow—we can grow anyway.

Finding Me, Knowing You, Living Us - The Marriage Basics
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A candid marriage convo built around “Finding ME, Knowing YOU, Living US” and John 10:10. We look at abundant life in marriage through Jesus the Gate, learning to recognize God’s voice, bringing a whole self to the relationship, and truly knowing a spouse beyond preferences and love languages. Practical prompts cover character strengths, kind speech, and intimacy cues; then we name barriers—speed bumps, roadblocks, and brick walls—and give permission to face hard topics with courage and hope. The episode ends with dreaming together, a call to an Jesus-centered union, and a benediction to live abundantly.
