Reverend Jason Hovde pastored for seven-and-a-half years on the Yankton Sioux reservation in South Dakota before coming to Oasis Church during the summer of 2021. Jason is excited to serve in sunny Florida where the people are diverse and welcoming. His passion is for teaching God’s word through expository preaching and discipleship. He is married to Jenelle and they have three children in elementary and middle school. He enjoys golfing, reading, and exploring nature, particularly cultivating flowers and tropical plants in the yard. Jenelle enjoys writing fiction and homeschooling.
Jason loves to think about and interact with God's Word. Among his favorite preachers are Alistair Begg, John MacArthur, C. H. Spurgeon, Voddie Baucham, and Steve Lawson. He enjoys diving deep into God's Word with Logos Bible Software. (Download a free digital version of Logos and the companion app Faithlife for your mobile device.) He also enjoys fiction. It helps him to connect the ideas of scripture and doctrine to human nature and the relationships between fallen people. Among his favorite novels are everything Charles Dickens, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, and Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. Among his favorite bible study books are J. I. Packer's Knowing God, D. A. Carson's Praying With Paul, and R. C. Sproul's The Holiness of God. He also enjoys anything by A. W. Tozer and C. S. Lewis. His preferred Bible translation is the ESV.
