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.

  • If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It ( Part 1)
    Feb 24 2026

    In this powerful opening to a brand-new series, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom unpacks a bold and liberating truth rooted in Bible Scripture: "If you don't have it, you don't need it." Centered on Philippians 4:19 — "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" — this episode challenges believers to shift from logic and natural reasoning to a faith-filled reliance on God's promises.

    Dr. Funches-Dunnom teaches that although God created us with intellect and reasoning, He calls His children to live by faith — not by sight. Drawing from Genesis, Isaiah 54, and the account of Mary in Luke, she reveals how God consistently proves that barrenness, emptiness, and impossibility are no obstacle to His power. Whether the challenge is physical, emotional, financial, or spiritual, what appears to be lacking is not a limitation for God.

    Through the examples of creation itself and the miraculous conception of Jesus, listeners are reminded that God does not require human resources to fulfill divine promises. If it is missing, it is not necessary. If it has not manifested, it is not because God forgot — it is because He is still God.

    This episode invites you to rejoice before you see the result, prepare before you hold the promise, and stand firm in the confidence that God cannot lie.

  • God Has Not Changed His Mind ( Part 7)
    Feb 17 2026

    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.
