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 does that really mean in everyday life—when the job is uncertain, the diagnosis is crushing, or the loneliness won’t let up?

You’ll hear:

• Why our own “truths” and coping mechanisms won’t stand when the storm comes.
• The biblical foundation that holds fast, even when everything else falls apart.
• How to shift from being tossed by circumstances to being anchored in Christ.

This is more than theory—it’s survival. Ignore it, and you’ll keep reaching for things that won’t hold. Embrace it, and you’ll find the One who is steady when nothing else is.

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 without even thinking?
Could it be that these little habits reveal a bigger battle for our focus, faith, and effectiveness in God’s Kingdom?

Together, we’ll explore what the Bible says about diligence, intentional living, and why passivity is one of the enemy’s most dangerous weapons. You’ll also walk away with practical tips for breaking distraction and living on point for God in your everyday life.

If you’re tired of drifting, this is the wake-up call you need.

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.

Life has a way of daring us to quit. The negative self-talk, the whispers from the enemy, the endless comparison to others, the noise of social media—it all presses in until comfort feels safer than obedience. But following Jesus was never meant to be easy. In this episode, Donnie gets real about the call to push through with God’s strength, not our own. We’ll talk about why passivity is dangerous, how to silence the lies, and what Scripture says about leaning into the hard things God puts before us. This isn’t about gritting your teeth—it’s about trusting the One who holds you steady when everything else tells you to stop.

Why Your Heart Is the Real Battlefield

In a world obsessed with image, hustle, and platform… what does God actually care about? Your heart.

In this critical episode, Donnie Lafferty walks through the life of David—not just the warrior or the worshiper, but the man after God’s own heart. What made David so different? Why did God choose him over others who looked more qualified?

Through Scripture, real-life honesty, and four key takeaways, you’ll learn:

What a heart like David really looks like

How to identify the opposite—a hardened, prideful, performative heart

Why your daily walk with God hinges on heart posture

What to do when you’ve drifted and want to come back

This episode is a heart check for the weary, the wondering, and the worn-out. Whether you’re carrying quiet sin, church hurt, or spiritual apathy—this message is a call back to real relationship with God.

Don’t miss this one. It’s not about going viral. It’s about getting real.

Listen now and let God examine what no one else sees.

Episode 14: Jesus Is the Gate

What if the life you’re chasing isn’t found in more effort, but in entering through the right door? In this episode of the OnePastor Podcast, we’re diving deep into one of Jesus’ boldest claims — “I am the Gate.” It's more than a metaphor. It’s a rescue. A promise. A challenge.

If you’ve felt stuck on the outside, worn down by religion, or unsure where to turn next — you need to hear this. Because not every path leads to life, but this one does.

Step through. Let’s talk about the gate that changes everything.

Have a little TALK with Jesus? The Bible?

Jesus isn’t just a figure in history—He is the living Word. In this powerful episode, we dig into why the Bible is more than ink on a page. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active…”—because the Word isn’t a concept, it’s a person. From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus is speaking, stirring, cutting, healing, and calling you by name. If you’ve ever wondered whether God still speaks, or if Scripture can really change your life—this episode will meet you right where you are. Come encounter the Word that breathes, breaks chains, and brings dead things to life.

When life falls apart, our reflex is to ask: Who’s at fault? But what if blame isn’t giving you clarity—it’s stealing your peace? In this raw episode, we confront how blame creeps in, distorts our perspective, and keeps us stuck. From the Garden of Eden to your own pain, we trace the danger of pointing fingers instead of pursuing healing. Job 15:35, Jeremiah 17:5–6, and Psalm 5:6 show us that blame often births deception. But God invites us to something better—truth, grace, and responsibility. If you’re tired of carrying what isn’t yours, this one’s for you.
