Friday, May 29, 2026

In this powerful episode of Oasis, Pastor Lonnie Provo welcomes listeners back to the airwaves after back-to-back weeks of down studio phone lines. Celebrating the restoration of the connection just in time for the holiday weekend, Pastor Lonnie opens the floor to family members, friends, and formerly incarcerated individuals calling in to lift up loved ones currently behind bars.

Key Highlights

• A Salute to Service: Standing on the eve of Memorial Day, Pastor Lonnie pauses to honor the service and sacrifice of the nation's military men and women. Reflecting on his own past, he shares how a wrong choice led him to prison instead of the armed forces—but expresses deep gratitude for how God used that exact path to bring him to salvation.

• Encouragement Across the Units: The studio lines buzz with moving testimonies and check-ins:

  • Ms. Bailey calls in with a message of enduring love and hope for her husband, Tyrese Young, at the federal unit.

  • Brother John Sessine celebrates nearly seven years of post-prison freedom, shares an exciting praise report about becoming a counselor for a homeless ministry, and honors his late father and uncle who served in the military.

  • Mama Nellie joins the program to read out the names of 15 expectant mothers inside the system who have bravely chosen life, including one mother, Zena, expecting twin boys.

  • Brother Mark calls in after completing a "32 flat" year sentence, sharing how living out Matthew 6:33 opened doors for an unexpected relocation to Lufkin, Texas, and brought a God-fearing woman into his life.

  • Ms. Andrea calls in to send her love and prayers to her husband, Carlos Turner, at Beaumont Medium.

• Protecting Your Vision: Drawing from his early days as a new believer serving a 25-year sentence on the Darrington Unit, Pastor Lonnie shares a critical lesson on spiritual privacy. He warns listeners to be careful about who they share their prayers and dreams with, recalling how an older inmate tried to speak doubt over his faith before God ultimately answered him.

• The Sovereign Release Date: Pastor Lonnie recounts a breathtaking, supernatural moment from his incarceration where God gave him a dream of an eagle, followed days later by a matching legal envelope. He details how he was miraculously allowed to sneak a peak at his own future prison release date on a parole officer's desk—proving that when you trust God completely, He will give you the peace and clarity to endure any timeline.

Closing Thought: The hardest part of doing time is knowing you are going to get out, but not knowing when. Turn off the negative voices, get into a good study Bible, and let the Word of God dwell in you richly. God already has the exact date of your breakthrough written down in His folder.
