In this hard-hitting episode of Oasis, host Pastor Lonnie Provost and the ministry team deliver an uncompromising message to incarcerated men and women across Texas, including listeners tuning in via the Kingdom Keys Network in Amarillo and at USP Beaumont. Opening up with gratitude for the approaching 250th birthday of America, Pastor Lonnie quickly pivots to the heavy responsibilities that come with a true relationship with Jesus Christ, reminding the body of believers that even our civic votes and personal accountability matter deeply in the eyes of God.

The heart of the program centers on a deep, recent dive into the Book of Exodus. Drawing a stark line between the cultural decay of modern society and the strict instructions given to Moses, Pastor Lonnie and Brother Mac break down the tragic biblical lesson of "strange fire." They warn that when human logic, doctrinal errors, and personal compromises twist God’s explicit commands, spiritual stagnation and judgment follow. From the misuse of manna to the moral accountability of leadership, this broadcast serves as a blunt wake-up call to both the church and the free world to stop playing with God.

Finally, the team challenges the traditional "sinner's prayer" routine often seen in prison yards, diving straight into the heavy truths of John 3. Pastor Lonnie details what it actually means to be a truly born-again, Spirit-filled believer, offering a raw look at his own past life of hatred and ignorance to prove that authentic salvation is a supernatural transformation of the heart—not just a state of empty religiosity.

Special Ministry Notes & Scripture Studies


A Shift in Prison History: Pastor Lonnie reflects on the massive historical shift in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) from 1980—recalling the extreme overcrowding at units like Darrington and Coffield that forced inmates into army tents—to the modern era where ex-offenders are miraculously allowed back inside the walls to preach the Gospel.


Shout-outs to the Inside: Praise and recognition are sent out to the choir and Spanish ministries at the Bird Unit, Broderick Bell on life without parole, and inmates currently writing faith-based books from their cells.


St. John 3:3–7 — “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
