About this listen

Thank you for joining us here on The One Thing That's Needful podcast, where Dr. Siohvaughn Funches expounds on the gospel of Jesus Christ and the New Covenant of grace that He has placed every believer in, helping believers understand that in the New Covenant, Christ has done it all and there remains one thing for a believer to do in order to receive it: only believe. Since the Word of God promises that the faith to believe comes by hearing and hearing the Word of Christ, today, you will do just that and you will believe. And as a result, you will inherit every promise God made you and fulfill the destiny Jesus gave you.2019-2020 A WOW Woman Christianity Social Sciences Spirituality

    God Has Not Changed His Mind - Part 7

    In this episode, I bring our God Has Not Changed His Mind series to a close by walking through one powerful truth: God does not change His mind about His promises—no matter the trial, the time, or our mistakes. I anchor this teaching in Numbers 23:19 and reflect on the life of King David, showing how betrayal, persecution, delay, and temptation never altered what God had already spoken over his life.

    I share how David faced repeated tests on his journey to the throne—tests of character, forgiveness, patience, and the temptation to settle for less than what God promised. We look at how even subtle "almost" victories can be traps, and why agreeing fully with God is not pride, but true humility. I also draw a powerful parallel from the life of Jesus, showing how He, too, rejected counterfeit kingship and refused to settle for anything less than the Father's plan.

    Finally, I talk openly about the test of time and the weight of waiting. Using examples from David, Abraham and Sarah, and even my own life, I remind you that delay is not denial. Time does not rule God—He created time. Even when we make mistakes or grow weary, God remains faithful and finishes what He promised. My prayer is that this episode strengthens your faith, restores your hope, and reminds you that God's word over your life is still standing—unchanged and unstoppable.

  • God Has Not Changed His Mind(Part 6)
    Feb 10 2026

    In this powerful continuation of the teaching series God Has Not Changed His Mind, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches unpacks the unchanging nature of God through the life of David, anchoring the message in Numbers 23:19 and other key biblical passages. This episode explores how God's promises remain firm despite human weakness, emotional exhaustion, and prolonged seasons of testing. Through David's journey of rejection, injustice, and delay, listeners are reminded that God's faithfulness is not dependent on human perfection. Even when emotions run high and circumstances seem unfair, God remains steadfast, intentional, and fully committed to bringing His word to pass. This message speaks directly to believers navigating frustration, waiting seasons, spiritual fatigue, or unanswered prayers.

    The episode also offers deep insight into spiritual maturity, highlighting how provocation, discouragement, and partial fulfillment can become subtle traps that derail destiny if left unchecked. Using the story of David, Abigail, and later David's leadership challenges, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches emphasizes that while God does not require perfection on the path to promise, He does require perseverance and presence. This teaching encourages listeners to resist settling prematurely, to remain focused on God's full promise, and to trust divine timing even when progress feels slow or costly. Rich with biblical wisdom and practical application, this episode serves as a reminder that God's plans extend beyond the individual and are ultimately designed to bless others, advance His kingdom, and reveal His unwavering character.

  • God Has Not Changed His Mind ( Part 5)
    Feb 3 2026

    I'm Dr. Siovaughn Funches, and I'm honored once again to be your host here on The One ThingThat's Needful Podcast. In this episode, we continue our powerful series titled "God Has Not Changed His Mind."

    Together, we dive even deeper into Numbers 23:19, which reminds us that God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should change His mind. What He has spoken, He will surely perform.

    Through the life of David, God continues to show us that no amount of adversity, delay, or opposition can change His mind about His promises. The devil may try to wear you down with discouragement or fear, but every trial is an opportunity to strengthen your faith—not weaken it.

    We revisit David's journey from being anointed as king to being hunted by Saul, learning how jealousy, fear, and disobedience can open the door to destruction—but faith, humility, and obedience keep us aligned with God's will. Even when David had the chance to take revenge, he chose instead to trust God's timing and let the Lord fight his battles.

    God is reminding us through this word: guard your heart, stay steadfast, and don't let hard times make you hard. His promises are still true. His Word still stands. He has not changed His mind about what He spoke over your life.
