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 honesty and hope, this conversation challenges us to grow deeper in the Word of God and to believe the truth — that no one is too far gone for Christ’s mercy.

Questions:

• What if the very place you’ve been hurt is the place Jesus wants to bring healing?
• Have you ever felt like you were too far gone, too broken, or too skeptical for God to reach?
• What would change in your life if you truly believed Jesus is your OnePastor — the Shepherd who sees you and calls you by name?

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 unpacks Isaiah 55:8-9 and other key Scriptures, showing how God’s higher ways bring purpose even through pain.

You’ll leave encouraged to release old expectations, trust His unfolding story, and rest in the truth that God’s plan is better—even when it’s different.

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 blessings can’t be stolen by circumstances or time?
• How do you hold onto joy when everything around you feels uncertain?
• What’s the difference between blessings that fade and blessings that endure forever?
• Could it be that you already have more in Christ than you’ve been looking for everywhere else?

Join me as we lift our eyes, remind our hearts, and celebrate the victory that is ours in Jesus. This is an episode for the weary, the rejoicing, and everyone in between—because greater blessings are here for you today.

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. 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. Whether you’ve always known God as Father or have struggled to believe He’s truly good, this conversation will draw you closer to the One who loves you more than you can imagine.
