This week on the podcast we welcome Bricia and Paulina’s Pastor, Holly Wagner.

Holly and her husband, Philip, are the Pastors of Oasis Church – a growing, relevant, multi-cultural, church located in Los Angeles. They have been married for over 30 years, love life and enjoy spending time with their two adult children, Jordan and Paris.

Holly is passionate about seeing women become who God has designed them to become, and to see every generation of woman extend a helping hand to the generation that is younger. Through the women’s ministry of Oasis, She Rises (GodChicks), Holly has empowered thousands of women around the world. Holly has written several books including Find Your Brave, Warrior Chicks, Love Works, and Awakened.

One of her books in particular, Warrior Chicks, changed both Bricia and Paulina’s lives. As Holly dives into the messages of Warrior Chicks, Bricia and Paulina speak on those life changing moments and how it shaped their view on Christianity and their relationship with God forever,

Holly explains how she found her path to serve, recommendations on how to start reading the bible, self-love, motherhood and the value of finding a community. Paulina asks Holly for marital advice, as Holly and her husband have been an exemplar of marriage to Paulina and her husband for years. Holly describes how her and her husband's book, Love Works, came to be and drops golden nuggets of information,

A couple of quotes from this episode, include:

“…we’re suppose to love people the way we love ourselves and that’s our problem because we don't love who we are, so don't love other people.”

“We are designed for community.”

“Only part of my destiny is in me. The rest of it is within other people."

"There’s no such thing as self-made person.”

“No matter how great you think you are, you will never get to where you’re suppose to be by yourself. Ever.”

“the grass is greener where you water it.”
