Episode 69: I Went Anyway — When Grief Makes You Want to Stay Home
Today, Donnie shares a deeply personal reflection after attending an Out of the Darkness Walk in memory of those lost to suicide.
Remembering his first wife, Tamara, and friend Danyelle, Donnie talks about the pain of grief, the temptation to avoid painful reminders, and the quiet courage of showing up anyway.
Through the story of Jesus weeping with Mary and Mart...
OnePastor Podcast | Episode 68: Do the Next Good Thing
Feeling overwhelmed? Falling behind? Not sure where to start?
Sometimes life feels like too much, and even the smallest step seems impossible. But what if God isn't asking you to fix everything today?
In Episode 68, we explore Galatians 6:9–10 and discover how small acts of faithfulness, fueled by God's grace, can help us move forward—even when we're tired, discouraged...
OnePastor Podcast | Episode 67: Tired, Not Finished
What if you're not at the end of your rope… you're just exhausted?
Even Elijah, after witnessing fire fall from heaven, found himself under a tree ready to give up. But God's response might surprise you.
In this episode, discover why your exhaustion doesn't mean God is finished with you, and how His strength meets us when ours runs out.
Tired is a condition. Finished is a concl...
Episode 66: Fearfully Made
What does it really mean to be fearfully and wonderfully made—especially on the days when you don’t feel wonderful?
In this episode, Donnie unpacks Psalm 139 and the powerful truth behind those familiar words. Your worth isn’t determined by comparison, performance, appearance, or the opinions of others. You were known before you performed.
“You are not an accident to manage. You are a...
In Episode 65 of the OnePastor Podcast, Donnie gets personal about what it means to be “poor in spirit” in a world obsessed with success, attention, and self-promotion. Through Matthew 5:3, he explores the freedom of taking off the mask, admitting our need for Jesus, and trusting God with the outcomes we can’t control. It’s an honest conversation about anxiety, identity, grace, and learning to live with open...
Episode 64: What Version Are You?
What version of you shows up when life gets hard?
The strong one who carries everybody else? The people pleaser? The achiever? The controller? The anxious, tired, frustrated, or wounded version of you?
Sometimes we develop ways of living just to survive a difficult season—and long after that season ends, that version of us keeps showing up.
In this episode of the OnePastor Podcast, Donnie Laffert...
Life has a way of pulling us away from what matters most. In this episode, Donnie Lafferty shares a heartfelt message about God's relentless pursuit of His children and the hope of restoration found in Christ. Drawing from Scripture and his own journey of loss, grief, and healing, Donnie reminds us that no matter how far we've wandered, God is always inviting us home. As he reflects on the heart behind his upcoming book, The Quiet ...
OnePastor Podcast – Episode 62
All Kinds of Noise
Not all noise can be heard.
Some of the loudest voices in our lives come from fear, regret, pressure, comparison, guilt, and the endless expectations we place on ourselves. They compete for our attention, shape our thoughts, and quietly pull us away from the peace Christ offers.
In Episode 62, Donnie opens God's Word to help us identify the voices that are filling our minds an...
OnePastor Podcast – Episode 61
Remember Who Your Father Says You Are
Who told you who you are?
Every day, voices compete to define us. Our past. Our failures. Our successes. Other people's opinions. Even our own thoughts can become louder than God's truth.
But there is one voice that has the authority to define a child of God.
The voice of the Father.
In this episode, Donnie opens Scripture to explore one of the greatest truths...
OnePastor Podcast – Episode 60
Remember
Why does God tell us to remember so often?
Because we forget.
We remember our failures, our fears, and the words that wounded us. We remember the diagnosis, the disappointment, and the pain. But in the middle of life's noise, it's easy to forget the very truths that give us hope.
In this episode, Donnie opens Psalm 77 and explores one of the greatest spiritual disciplines in the Christia...

Thanks for listening. Eyes on Jesus.
Can a follower of Jesus be genuinely joyful and genuinely sad at the same time?
In this honest and personal episode, Donnie shares a conversation that challenged him when someone said, "You just look sad sometimes." Instead of dismissing the comment, he explores a truth many believers wrestle with: sadness is not a spiritual failure.
Drawing from 2 Corinthians 6:10, 1 Peter 1, Romans 8, and the life of Jesus Himself, Donnie discusses...
OnePastor Podcast — Episode 57
Sit Still
What if one of the most spiritual things you could do today was simply sit still?
In this episode of the OnePastor Podcast, Donnie explores two powerful Bible stories that reveal how God often speaks most clearly when life slows down. One person chose stillness. The other had stillness forced upon him. Yet God met both of them in the quiet.
Join us as we look at Mary sitting at the fee...

Thanks for listening. Eyes on Jesus.
My walk with the Lord has been helped by knowing that God does the changing of hearts.
OnePastor Podcast | Episode 55: Only God Can Do That
Have you ever watched someone you love drift from God and wondered if there's anything more you could say?
Have you ever felt conviction stirring in your own heart but weren't sure how to respond?
Can a sermon change a life?
Can a podcast soften a hardened hear...
Episode 54: Grace Isn’t Compromise
Is grace making Christians soft?
Should pastors speak harder? Louder? More forcefully about sin?
And where is the line between calling people to holiness… and crushing them with shame?
In this episode, Donnie tackles a question that some people may already be asking about OnePastor: Can you speak gently to struggling believers without compromising truth?
Because sin is serious.
Ho...
Episode 53: Relearning the Voice — Hearing God Again in a Noisy World
Ever feel mentally exhausted… emotionally overloaded… and spiritually distracted?
Not because you stopped loving God.
Not because you walked away.
Just because life got loud.
Between pressure, bad news, responsibilities, fear, stress, and nonstop distractions, many people aren’t running from God—they’re simply ...
What if the greatest danger to your faith isn’t that you suddenly walk away from God… but that you slowly drift so far you barely realize it happened?
In Episode 52 of OnePastor, “The Drift,” Donnie tackles one of the most dangerous realities in faith—not rebellion, but slow, quiet spiritual drift. Using the powerful image of being carried down the shoreline without realizing it, this episode speaks di...
There are moments when words fall short…
when advice feels empty…
when what you really need isn’t a solution—
it’s someone willing to stay.
Episode 51 continues that honest space.
This is for the one carrying weight you can’t explain.
For the one showing up on the outside but struggling underneath.
For the one asking quiet questions no one else hears.
But this ti...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
