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.

Discipleship 101: Chapters 1–5 | Learning the Map
In this Discipleship 101 audio, Dennis and Amy provide an overview of Chapters 1–5 of the Field Manual for Discipleship. This session is designed to give you the map before you begin walking through the Field Manual more slowly.
We explore what it means to be a disciple and follow Jesus, the message of the gospel, why we can trust Scripture, how to read and understand the Bible, and the big story of Scripture from Creation to Restoration.
Chapters covered:
- Chapter 1: What Is a Disciple?
- Chapter 2: The Gospel
- Chapter 3: The Bible and How We Got It
- Chapter 4: How to Read the Bible
- Chapter 5: Bible 101: A Flyover
This is an overview, not a substitute for working through the Field Manual. Use it to become familiar with the language, ask questions, and begin seeing how the pieces of discipleship fit together.
Learn the map. Then walk the pilgrimage.
