Christians globally are excited to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ on Easter day on April 5th. But before we look to Easter- Resurrection Day, let us sit with the great importance of Good Friday- the day we remember with thanksgiving the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for humanity.

Someone out there in the world, may ask- there is nothing “good” about the day that a man was nailed to the cross and killed. This where we get this opportunity to share the Word of God with anyone struggling with this question. First, Jesus Christ is not just a man like us humans. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus Christ is God- the second Person of the Trinity. He is God incarnate – meaning Divinity made flesh. Jesus Christ did become man like us, yet He was God.

Secondly, Jesus Christ was not killed. He willingly gave Himself to go to the cross for mankind in alignment with God’s plan of redemption for mankind. Lastly, Jesus Christ was fulfilling the plan of God for man’s redemption.

It was a Good Friday because our Savior went to the cross willingly with love for mankind. Good Friday is what made Easter possible. Without Good Friday, we have no hope of eternity. Without Good Friday we have no friendship with God. Without Good Friday, we have no atonement of our sins. It is only because of Good Friday; we get to God through Jesus Christ our Savior. It was you that Jesus Christ was thinking about when He was on that cross.

This Easter is a great time to come to Jesus Christ. He is saying to you today- no matter where you are, what you have done, how far you may have gone, He is reaching out with arms wide open- beckoning you to come to Him. Come and find new life in Jesus Christ. Begin your resurrected life in Christ today! It is as simple as praying along with us here (scroll down to the Prayer Forum). Let us know you prayed and asked Jesus Christ into your heart and life. We would love to connect you with fellow believers in Christ in your area.

In this episode 100 of Oasis of Hope Podcast, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti share the importance of Good Friday and why it is a must for Easter. On this centennial milestone episode of Oasis of Hope Podcast, we want to thank each of you for engaging with us with your questions, feedback and encouragement. We are blessed and honored to journey together as we continue to advance the kingdom of God. A special shout-out to the Black Podcast Network for their support. We are grateful to God for the privilege of serving His people.

In Christ's Love,

Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti

Christians globally have begun their lent journey for this year. Starting on Ash Wednesday (February 18), followers in Christ are encouraged to journey through lent this year for the next 40 days finishing on Easter day on April 5th. The lent season is a great opportunity for believers in Christ to continue to stay in the place of prayer for the many needs of families, friends, churches, nations, and communities. "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving" (Colossians 4:2).

Lent season is a time to renew, revive and flourish in one's relationship with God, growing even deeper roots that bear eternal fruits. In a time when many desire to know Jesus Christ in a personal way, followers of Christ have a great opportunity to share their salvation testimonies, share God's supernatural works, share answers to prayers, share their overcoming stories, and share why Christ is the source of their lives and sustenance.

In this episode 99 of Oasis of Hope Podcast, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti share some ways to journey through this year's lent season, answer a question from the last episode and what lent means to the life of a believer in Christ. Share this episode with friends, family and your networks.

Beloved, stay grounded in God's Word, stay grounded in prayer, stay grounded in worship, stay grounded in community with fellow believers in Christ, and stay grounded with an eternal focus. With these postures followers of Christ get to live out Hebrews 12:28, "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe." We are grateful to God for the privilege of serving His people.

In Christ's Love,

Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti

Scripture References: “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain” – Psalm 127: 1

“And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins” - 1 Peter 4: 8

We pray your year is off to a terrific one. By now, many churches and believers in Christ have completed their yearly call to fasting and prayer for the new year. However, the call for prayer and fasting for the new year might be finished; but not the call to pray continuously. We encourage each believer in Christ to continue to stay in the place of prayer for the many needs of families, friends, churches, nations, and communities. "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving" (Colossians 4:2).

In the last five weeks, psychologists have been focusing on a word “parricide.” This is an unfortunate word that is new to many people. From children, shooting and killing their parents, to spouses shooting and killing their children and spouses, we are seeing an unusual trend in our culture. The most concerning part for believers in Christ is that our culture is embracing this trend in parricide as “normal.” God’s Word informs us best as believers. This trend points to a deep spiritual need for transformation in our culture. Heart transformation is what brings outward transformation.

We are grateful to men and women of God and their ministries that have answered the call and charge for families globally! The family is the foundation of a nation. It is the foundation of a community. It is the foundation of a church. It is the foundation of any people. It is the foundation of a school. In this 2026 kick off episode, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti discuss and examine some root causes of parricide that spiritual leaders can start with in helping our nation and communities towards healing. Parricide can find a link to anger, bitterness, resentment, and secrets. All of these links find a way of metastasizing into hatred. Then hatred becomes a fuel and a burden that humans are not meant to have. God created humans to live, grow and flourish in love (1 Corinthians 13). Love is the glue, medicine and oil of a family.

Share this episode with friends, family and your networks. It is time for God’s people to rise up to the challenge of our culture and day as we establish God’s heart for families. A great way to calibrate this year is a call to the fear and reverence for God. If you are yet to get your copy of The Fear of God: Growing the Inner Life- this is your reminder to do so. It is a guide for living righteously in a world and culture that has lost the reverence of God.

The call to the reverence of God, begins with God’s people, because God’s judgement begins with His people (1 Peter 4:17). With continuous prayer, we will see the supernatural hands of God at work in every area of our world. God is a supernatural God and works in supernatural ways. We are grateful for the privilege to serve you, and we look forward to all God will do through His people in 2026. May this be a year of multiplication of God’s message of love and hope in Jesus Christ. This is what leads people to salvation and ultimately transformation.

In Christ's Love,

Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti
