OnePastor Podcast — Episode 38 (Final Episode of 2025): “2025 Recap + The 2026 Mental Game Challenge” Episode 38 is our year-end recap—what God has been teaching us through the OnePastor journey in 2025, and a clear challenge as we step into 2026. This year we faced real life: struggle, loss, exhaustion, and the daily grind—and we kept coming back to the same anchor: keep your eyes on Jesus. In this episode, we revisit key themes from across the year: Jesus is the OnePastor—He is the Shepherd...
What do you do when you’ve prayed hard… and nothing changes? When the door doesn’t open, the healing doesn’t come, the anxiety still hits, and you’re left wondering what real faith looks like in the middle of real disappointment? In this episode, we’re going to sit with one of the boldest statements in all of Scripture: “Even if He does not…” (Daniel 3:16–18). Not faith that’s loud on Sunday and crushed by Tuesday — but faith that can stand when the outcome isn’t what you wanted. We’ll talk a...
What do you do when you pray… and nothing seems to happen? When heaven feels quiet, Scripture feels flat, and God seems distant? In this episode of the OnePastor Podcast, we sit in the uncomfortable but deeply human space of God’s silence. Not the silence of abandonment—but the kind that tests faith, strips away easy answers, and exposes what we really believe about God. In Episode 36, you’ll hear: Why God’s silence does not mean His absenceWhat Scripture reveals about seasons when faithful p...
Episode 35 — The Power of Routine: Why Your Habits Shape Your Victory If you’ve ever started a Bible reading plan… and then drifted… this episode is for you. Today we get honest about something we all wrestle with — inconsistency. Not because we don’t love Jesus, but because life pulls, distracts, and wears us down. In this episode, Donnie shares why routine isn’t boring — it’s biblical. We open the Scriptures to see how God uses daily rhythms, repeated habits, and steady faithfulness to shap...
In a world full of noise, performance, and pressure to look put-together, Jesus makes it clear what the Father is actually seeking — true worshipers who worship in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:23). In this heartfelt episode, Donnie takes us beyond the music and into the meaning. What does it really look like to worship God honestly — when you’re tired, distracted, or struggling? How do you keep your heart alive when faith feels routine? This episode is a call back to authenticity. It’s for any...
We talk about rest like it’s a destination — a vacation, a day off, a moment of peace that always seems just out of reach. But what if rest isn’t a place you go… what if it’s a Person you know? In this powerful and personal episode, Donnie unpacks Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28–30: “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This isn’t about escaping life — it’s about finally finding life in Him. Through story, Scripture, and soul-level honesty, Donnie explores...
Jesus didn’t call us to blend in — He called us to shine. In this episode, Donnie talks about what it really means to be the light of the world in a culture that feels darker by the day. It’s not about perfection, performance, or living in a bubble — it’s about carrying God’s light into ordinary places: our work, our homes, and even our hardest relationships. With stories, Scripture, and raw honesty, Donnie reminds us that the same light that broke through the tomb now lives in us. When belie...
What do you do when the people you love most — your kids, your parents, even your own generation — just don’t see life or faith the same way anymore? In this honest and heartfelt episode, Donnie opens up about the tension and tenderness of living between generations. From the wisdom of age to the wandering of youth, he explores what Scripture says about staying connected, loving through the gaps, and trusting that God is still working on every heart — even when hope feels thin. This one’s for...
“You’ve seen the storm… now hear the sunrise. Episode 30 is what it sounds like when faith smiles again.” Sometimes, life feels like a storm that never ends… until you remember the empty tomb. In this episode, Donnie steps into the light — joy, laughter, and victory echoing through every story. This is the bright side of pain, the celebration after the struggle, the unshakable confidence that because He lives, we can face tomorrow. Through heartfelt stories, honest reflection, and contagious ...
How Do I Know I Believe? Some days you feel strong in your faith. Other days, you wonder if you even believe at all. You read your Bible and it feels distant. You pray, and it’s quiet. You see others walking confidently with God, and you start to wonder if you’re faking it. In this episode, Donnie gets honest about the doubts many Christians carry but rarely say out loud. What does it really mean to believe? Can faith survive the seasons when you feel nothing? How can you cling to God when yo...
Episode 28: The Beauty of the Broken — How God Uses Our Scars to Heal Others Have you ever wondered why God didn’t erase the scars after the healing? Why He lets the reminders stay? In this episode of the OnePastor Podcast, Donnie Lafferty opens up about the deep beauty hidden inside our brokenness — and how God turns wounds into witnesses. This isn’t a message about pretending the pain never happened. It’s about learning how grace seeps through the cracks. 💔 You’ll hear: Why scars aren’t si...
Life is full of ups and downs — and sometimes, it feels like more downs than ups. We chase happiness, but it slips through our fingers. The Bible never promises constant happiness — it promises something deeper. In this episode, Donnie opens up about the difference between happiness and true, lasting joy, and how God uses even sorrow to shape a peace the world can’t steal. With Scripture, real talk, and personal reflection, Donnie explores why joy isn’t a mood — it’s a miracle. He looks at wh...
What OnePastor Podcast is and is NOT. So many in the church today are hurting, skeptical, or simply worn out. We show up, but we don’t always connect. We listen to sermons, but we don’t always feel heard ourselves. OnePastor is about pointing back to the only One who never fails us — Jesus, our OnePastor and Good Shepherd. In this episode, Donnie shares the heart behind why OnePastor exists, why church hurt is real, and how we can return to the simplicity of drawing near to Jesus. With honest...
Episode 25 of OnePastor Podcast asks the life-shaping question “Who am I?”—inspired by Casting Crowns’ powerful song of the same name. Donnie opens his heart and the Word to show that our worth isn’t in what we do, feel, or fear, but in who Jesus says we are—chosen, loved, and secure. If you’ve ever wondered where your identity truly rests, this short but rich episode will point you past labels and failures to the unshakable truth of Christ.

When Life Doesn’t Go Like You Thought: Trusting God’s Higher Ways Life rarely plays out the way we planned—and that can shake our faith. In this heart-to-heart episode Donnie shares his own “off-script” journey and offers strong biblical hope for anyone wondering what God is doing. “My life is nothing like I imagined. What now?”“Why does God allow detours, delays, and heartbreak?”“Can I still trust Him when I don’t see the plan?”“Is there mercy hiding in the mess?”Join Donnie as he unpa...

Episode 22 – Greater Blessings Life can feel heavy. The struggles are real, and some days it’s hard to see past the weariness. But what if God has already poured out blessings on you that nothing—not hardship, not loss, not even death—can take away? This episode isn’t about chasing temporary highs; it’s about discovering the lasting treasures that anchor us in every season. We’re talking about Greater Blessings—the kind that overflow from Christ and remain even when the world shakes. What bl...
When Everything Shakes, What Holds? What do you cling to when life shakes you to the core—when your mind won’t stop racing, your finances are unstable, or your circumstances are overwhelming? In this episode, we open God’s Word and ask the only question that really matters: What actually holds when the ground beneath us is shaking? We’ll look at the unshakable promises of Scripture and discover why the Bible calls God our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). What ...
How much of your life is being stolen by mindless scrolling, endless distractions, or habits that lead nowhere? What happens when our hands — and our hearts — drift into passivity instead of purpose? In this episode of the OnePastor Podcast, Donnie takes us into Scripture to face the uncomfortable but freeing truth: idle hands aren’t just wasted time — they weaken our walk with Christ. Do you ever open the fridge even when you’re not hungry? Do you find yourself reaching for your phone withou...
We sing it. We say it. But do we really believe it—deep down? In this episode of the OnePastor Podcast, we dive into what the Bible says about God as our perfect Father. We’ll brag on Him through five powerful Scriptures, unpack what that means for our perspective on life, and see how knowing His heart changes everything.
