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: Week 2 | Spiritual Formation & Major Doctrines
In Week 2 of Discipleship 101, Dennis and Amy continue the overview of the Field Manual for Discipleship, beginning with spiritual formation and the practices that help believers grow in Christlikeness. We explore the difference between trying harder and training spiritually, the purpose of spiritual disciplines, and how intentional practices create space for God to form us over time.
We then move into Major Doctrines, exploring the foundational beliefs that shape the Christian life, including loving God and others, the Church, God the Father, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, baptism, communion, and tithing.
This five-week intensive is about learning the map before slowing down to walk the pilgrimage. Listen, ask questions, and become familiar with the language and foundations that will guide the discipleship journey ahead.
Learn. Grow. Overflow. Be the Church.
