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.

• What does it really look like to be still in a nonstop world?
• How can we love, serve, and live at peace when our souls feel fractured?

Donnie shares personal insight, biblical context, and a much-needed reminder:God already sees the real you—and He hasn’t walked away.

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.

What am I doing in this JOB? God has MORE for me....Right?

What do you do when you feel called to more—but you’re still stuck in the ordinary? This episode unpacks the sacred tension between the calling on your life and the field you're still in. Just like David in 1 Samuel 16:13, anointed as king but sent back to tend sheep, you may feel hidden, delayed, or overlooked. But small doesn’t mean insignificant. Jesus said in Luke 16:10, “Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much.” And Zechariah 4:10 reminds us not to despise small beginnings. You’re not behind—you’re being built. The crown is coming. But for now… honor the field.
