2024-05-061h 43Oasis: College & Young Adult MinistryMESSAGE: Surrender Your ThoughtsThe brain is one of our greatest gifts from God yet, it can be our greatest enemy. Jaena explains how our brain can be a place in which we pursue Christlikeness or we pursue sin. Our thoughts are important, and what we think about affects how we live. As Jaena looks at Pauls encouragement in Philippians 4:8, she explains 8 words that are to describe the thoughts that lead us towards Christlikeness.
Why is our thought life important? What is one thing God is asking you to surrender in order to pursue Christlike thoughts?

A Lil' Bit of StellaMarie PodcastIn Loving Memory of Dino Angelo JaenaGrief, it’s a very painful and overwhelming emotion to feel but it’s also an essential and fundamental factor for growth, as a person. Grief comes in many forms-- from losing a loved one, whether they are alive or taken from the heavens above, to not landing your dream job, financial hardship, or a health issue.
The truth is, nobody teaches you how to deal with grief because in reality, dealing with grief is something that can’t be taught. There’s no rule book or guidelines. Because one way or another, we all have our own copi...

When it comes to scripture memorizing, most people stop after one (John 3:16) or maybe two (Philippians 4:13) verses. While both of these are great to have in your mind, the Bible holds a lot more for us to think about.
Why is this important? Where should you start? Are they tips to help you better memorize everything you want to?

First, we talk all about music as it plays out in the Christian walk such as musical worship! Praising Jesus is so much of what we do! Then, we move to answer some questions about other types of music.

Is it enough to just "do" or is God calling us to something deeper? Through the story of Jonah, Jaena demonstrates our responsibility to not only act but to act with love in our hearts. Jonah eventually preached what God wanted to the Ninevites, but he did it with contempt and disdane for the people receiving his message. That was a problem for him and could be a problem for us.
