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.

White: The Color of Starting Over
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful February Soul Care conversation, Dr. Amy Oberg explores the color white—a symbol of purity, innocence, and perfection—and why it’s something we can’t achieve on our own. Through raw honesty, humor, and Scripture, Dr. AO takes us from the impossibility of human purity to the redemption found only in Jesus.
From the story of David and Bathsheba to the hope of Psalm 51, this episode reminds listeners that we were all born into dirt—but we can be washed whiter than snow. Dr. AO unpacks the enemy’s strategy to make us feel unworthy and how shame keeps us from receiving what Jesus already paid for: a clean slate.
Through reflection, truth, and the simple act of surrender, she invites listeners to pour out their history into Christ—to let Him cover every stain and redefine purity as a relationship, not a performance.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you could start over, this episode whispers the truth: You already can.
