    Our Farewell Episode

    After many conversations, moments of reflection, and following the leading of the Holy Spirit, this chapter of The One Podcast is coming to a close.What began as a simple “yes” to create space for honest conversations about faith, life, and what God is doing in the hearts of His people turned into something far more meaningful than we ever expected. Time and time again, we were reminded of the heart of God, the Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one. Every episode was our attempt to point back to that truth: that no one is too far gone for the grace of God.To everyone who listened, encouraged us, prayed for us, and walked alongside this journey, thank you. Your support meant more than you know.As we close this chapter, we’re stepping into new and different seasons with the Lord. Sometimes following Him means making room for the new things He wants to do. New wine that requires new wineskins. While The One Podcast may be coming to a close, our desire to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and share what He is doing in our lives will continue.And if there’s one thing we hope these episodes continue to do, it’s reach the one lost soul.Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

    We were convicted about using AI...

    Welcome to another Tuesday with The One Pod!

    Welcome to another Tuesday with The One Pod! In today's episode, we’re discussing about the ways we often block our own growth—spiritually, emotionally, and even practically.

    We’re so glad you’re here! Welcome to another Tuesday with The One Pod! In today's episode, Kayla & Ciara dive into the real reason many are walking away from the Christian faith — and it’s not theology. It’s offense.

Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this?" 2 Corinthians 2:14-16Sending our love !!! -C & K

Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked. Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’ “But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’ “So you, too, must keep watch!

The wilderness isn’t the end of the story... it’s the training ground for the next chapter. "Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!

It’s time we stop canceling Christians and start restoring one another in love."Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will." 2 Timothy 2:23-26Sending our love !!! -C & K

    Not all who wander are lost...

    We are so glad you are here!!! Welcome to another Tuesday with The One Pod ! What causes us to stray away from God? How do we end up lost? These are a few questions that Ciara and Kayla will explore on today's episode. We discuss the consequences of sin, lukewarm faith, and the distractions that inevitably pull us away from Jesus. Through the parables of the Prodigal Son and the Lost Sheep, we’re reminded that no matter how far we wander, we are never too far gone."Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."

    Why God’s Plan Doesn’t Center Around You

    We are so glad you are here!!! Welcome to another Tuesday with The One Pod ! Today we will reflect on how our lives aren’t just our own stories—they’re part of something much bigger: God’s story. We don't write our own destiny – we're all acting in His grand narrative, each of us playing unique roles that impact the lives of others. When we try to take the lead role and play the protagonist of our own story, we end up falling short. The real protagonist should be Jesus, and when we allow Him to take the lead, we step into the true purpose of our lives. Join us as we reflect on what it means to surrender the script and trust God with the direction of our story."Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him." Philippians 2:12-13Sending our love !!!-C & K

We will look at the hazards of stepping ahead of God’s plan and the heavy toll of taking on responsibilities you aren’t ready for. When we rush to claim blessings on our own terms, we risk turning them into burdens. This will leave you asking yourself, how can I tell if something is truly a blessing—or a weight I was never meant to carry?"Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless—like chasing the wind." Ecclesiastes 6:9Sending our love !!!C & K
