When your mind turns on you, it can feel like you’re fighting a battle before you even get out of bed. In Episode 39 of the OnePastor Podcast, Donnie opens the Bible and speaks straight to the weary believer whose thoughts have been loud, condemning, and exhausting.

With Psalm 42 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 as the anchor, you’ll learn how to talk to your soul instead of letting your soul talk you off a cliff—and you’ll get a simple weekly tool you can actually use: Name it → Challenge it → Replace it (Lie → Truth). This isn’t hype. It’s Scripture, truth, and the next faithful step.

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, the steady center, and the One who doesn’t walk away when life gets messy.
• No more masks—the danger of hiding, pretending, and silently bleeding out while looking “fine.”
• You’re not too broken—God doesn’t waste your pain; He works through it, even when you don’t understand it.
• Trusting God with our families, our future, and our fears—while still living honest about how hard it can be.

You’ll also hear 3 key takeaways from 2025, each grounded in Scripture, and then a direct, practical challenge for 2026:

✅ We must respect the mental game.
Your mind is a battlefield. Your focus, thought-life, habits, and inner narrative are not “small things”—they shape your faith, your obedience, and your endurance.

If you’re tired, struggling, or barely holding on, this episode is for you. Let’s end 2025 with honesty—and enter 2026 with clarity, courage, and a strengthened mind anchored in Christ.

Scripture featured includes: Hebrews 12:1–2, Psalm 23, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and Philippians 4:8.

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 about:

• The difference between trusting God and trying to use God
• How to keep your heart steady when God’s plan feels confusing
• What “even if” faith sounds like in everyday life — marriage stress, grief, finances, depression, unanswered prayer

No hype. No platitudes. Just biblical truth, honest struggle, and a way forward for the weary who are still holding on.

If you’ve been asking, “God, are You still with me?” — this one is for you.

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 absence
• What Scripture reveals about seasons when faithful people heard nothing
• How silence can refine trust instead of destroying it
• What to do when worship feels forced and prayer feels empty
• Why holding on still matters—even when you don’t feel God holding back

This episode is for the weary believer.
For the one still showing up, still praying, still trying—yet wondering if God is listening.

There are no platitudes here. No quick fixes. Just honest faith, biblical truth, and a reminder that silence is not the end of the story.

If you’ve ever whispered, “God, where are You?”—this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen to Episode 36: When God Is Silent
Because silence doesn’t mean God has stopped working—and it doesn’t mean you’re alone.

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, Don 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 shape us into people who walk in victory.

You’ll hear:

• Why drifting spiritually is normal — but staying there is dangerous
• What the Bible says about routine, discipline, and daily devotion
• How Jesus Himself modeled the power of consistent time with the Father
• Three practical, doable steps to build a spiritual routine you can actually maintain

This isn’t about perfection.
This is about showing up — even when you don’t feel like it — and discovering how God strengthens you one ordinary day at a time.

If you want a life rooted in peace, clarity, and spiritual strength…
If you’re tired of starting over…
If you want to grow for real this time…

Hit play.
This one will steady your soul and show you the path forward.

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 anyone who’s ever gone through the motions but longed for something real again. Worship isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s not about trying harder — it’s about coming closer.

Because at the end of the day, God isn’t looking for polished people. He’s looking for honest ones. "I'm coming back to the HEART of Worship" and It's ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS!!! #Theheartofworship #trueworshipers #honestwithgod #onepastorpodcast

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 why we keep running on empty, how religion can wear us out, and what it looks like to lay down the heavy yoke and actually rest in the presence of Christ. This episode isn’t a nap for the soul — it’s a wake-up call to peace.

Themes:

• The real meaning of Jesus’ invitation to “come to Me.”
• Why spiritual exhaustion happens — even when you love God.
• How rest in Jesus is active, not lazy.
• Letting go of the pressure to perform for God.
• Learning to live from peace instead of constantly chasing it.

Thoughts for You

• What if your rest isn’t a weekend… it’s a Person?
• Are you resting in Jesus — or just running on Christian autopilot?
• Why do so many believers know about peace but rarely live in it?
• What would your life look like if you stopped striving and started abiding?
• Could it be that what you’re craving isn’t relief… but relationship?

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 believers stop hiding and start shining, hope spreads. And maybe — just maybe — the people around us will start to see Jesus again.

Themes:

• What Jesus meant when He said, “You are the light of the world.”
• How to shine in a dark workplace or weary world.
• Why our light grows brighter when we stop pretending.
• The danger of hiding your light behind comfort or fear.
• How to live with joy, courage, and visibility for Christ.

• What if the light God put in you was never meant to stay safe?
• Have you ever realized your workplace might be your mission field?
• Are you shining… or just surviving?
• What happens when believers stop hiding their light?
• How bright would the world be if we all lived like Jesus really meant what He said?
