Meet Lizzie Oakes

Welcome to Sanctuary

I’ve been part of the Rhema Media Whanau for 8 years.

I live near the coast on Auckland’s North Shore and have spent most of my life here, apart from a couple of stints (10 years apart) when I lived & worked in the UK.

I have an awesome young adult son and a sassy cat, my 2nd child, Redd the Ragdoll.

Off air I love to be out in the fresh air, swimming at the beach, going for coastal walks, sitting on the deck listening to music or playing my guitar.

I also LOVE to read, write, and usually have a creative project bubbling away in the background.

I enjoy having real, honest, and authentic conversations with my on air guests as well as on my podcast - Where do you find God?

I’ve worked out that I can’t be anyone other than myself so why bother trying! 

My invitation to you is, come as you are – I very much hope you will feel at home here.
