    Welcome to One Single Story, Season 5. Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Alyssa Bream for the March 13th edition. Today the team explores Psalm 56, unpacking what it looks like to trust God when your circumstances feel dangerous and overwhelming.

    Trusting God After Betrayal - Psalm 55:1-23 | March 12, 2026

    Welcome to One Single Story, where each weekday we offer a brief lesson from the daily reading in the One Year Bible. Host Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Alyssa Bream as they dig into Psalm 55 and what David teaches us about processing betrayal, letting go, and casting our burdens on God. Scripture Focus: Psalm 55 - David's raw, honest cry to God in the middle of betrayal, most likely written during Absalom's rebellion when his trusted advisor turned against him. In This Episode: David's radical transparency with God in the middle of pain Why betrayal must be grieved, then released, before it becomes your identity How unprocessed pain spills out onto the people around you Why forgiveness and trust in God are daily decisions, not one-time events Key Quote: "Carrying things we weren't meant to carry keeps us from being able to do things we were intended to do."

    Anchoring Your Faith in the Middle of Conflict - Psalm 54:1-7 | March 11, 2026

    Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Alyssa Bream dig into Psalm 54 - David's raw, honest cry to God written when the Ziphites betrayed him to King Saul. It is a psalm of lament, bold prayer, and hard-won trust, and it has a lot to say about how we handle conflict today. Scripture Focus: Psalm 54:1-7 - David's plea for God's attention and deliverance amid betrayal (1 Samuel 23) In This Episode: * The two types of prayers David prays - urgent personal appeal and bold request for justice against his enemies * Whether David's enemies were also God's enemies, and what that means for how we pray * Why our culture has lost the art of lament and why David's psalms model a healthier way to process pain * What actually anchors faith in hard times - and why it starts with the habits you build before trouble arrives Key Quote: "The habits and relationships that you build when life is good are what can sustain you when life gets tough." One Single Story is a weekday devotional podcast from Open Door Church in Edenton, North Carolina, walking through the One Year Bible one passage at a time. visitopendoor.com | onesinglestory.com #OneYearBible #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #DailyDevotional #OpenDoorChurch #BiblicalEncouragement #ChristianLife #Scripture #Faith #Psalms #BookOfPsalms #Lament #PrayerLife

Pastor Stephen Mizell, joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Alyssa Bream. Today we are in Psalm 53, verses one through six, a meditation from David written during the moral decay of Israel, where he diagnoses the spiritual condition of a people who have turned their backs on God. Scripture Focus: Psalm 53:1-6 - David's diagnosis of spiritual disease in Israel, and a parallel to Psalm 14, pointing toward the only true source of restoration. In This Episode: What Scripture actually means by "fool" - not intellectual weakness, but moral corruption and willful spiritual resistance Why unbelief is ultimately an act of pride and self-reliance, choosing the moment over eternity How God's perspective differs from ours - he sees the heart, the motive, and a timeline that stretches far beyond our own Why dark times were never meant to be walked through alone, and how community sustains righteousness when faith feels thin Key Quote: "As believers, our best days are always ahead of us. If I am in relationship with him, irregardless of what happens, it is well in the end. And that is real hope." New episodes every weekday at onesinglestory.com.

    Boasting, Betrayal, and Trusting God Over Influence - Psalm 52:1-9 | March 9, 2026

    Welcome to One Single Story, Season 5! Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Alyssa Bream for today's reading from the One Year Bible. In this episode, the hosts dig into Psalm 52 and explore what it means to trust God over personal influence and what it looks like to be an olive tree planted in the house of God. Scripture Focus: Psalm 52:1-9 - Written after Doeg the Edomite betrayed David and massacred the priests of Nob, this psalm confronts the temptation to boast in human power and points us back to the steadfast faithfulness of God. In This Episode: * Why the Hebrew root of "boast" is the same word used in "hallelujah" - and where we direct our praise * How wickedness can produce short-term gains, but justice and truth always prevail * Trusting God over influence, titles, and charisma * The rich symbolism of the olive tree - rooted, fruit-bearing, and dependent on a source beyond itself Key Quote: "Choose faithfulness over fame, because God wants to grow olive trees."

    Fear, Hope, and Spiritual Endurance - Proverbs 10:27-28 | March 6, 2026

    Welcome to the March 6th edition of One Single Story, Season 5. Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski for a focused conversation on Proverbs 10:27-28 — exploring what it means to truly fear the Lord, why hope is so much more than wishful thinking, and how spiritual endurance is built through the trials we face. Scripture Focus: Proverbs 10:27-28 - "The fear of the Lord lengthens one's life. The hopes of the godly result in happiness." A two-verse contrast between a life rooted in reverence for God and one lived without it. In This Episode: * What reverence for God really looks like and how it shapes your daily decisions * Why hope is a stabilizing anchor rooted in God's character, not circumstance * How spiritual endurance is built through testing, consistency, and community Key Quote: "Hope is not wishful thinking. It is being planted in security, in knowing what you can expect because you know God and you know his character."

    Welcome to One Single Story, the daily Bible podcast with Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski. Today we are in Proverbs 10:26, where Solomon compares a lazy person to vinegar on the teeth and smoke in the eyes — a vivid picture of just how disruptive unreliability can be to everyone around us. Scripture Focus: Proverbs 10:26 - Solomon uses sharp imagery to capture the frustration and irritation a lazy person causes those who depend on them. In This Episode: Why laziness reveals character and affects far more people than just yourself How diligence reflects God's own nature and becomes an act of worship Practical habits that build faithfulness, including punctuality, follow-through, planning, and accountability Key Quote: "How you work reveals who you worship." - Pastor Stephen Mizell One Single Story is a daily Bible podcast from Open Door Church in Edenton, North Carolina, walking through the One Year Bible one passage at a time. visitopendoor.com | onesinglestory.com Subscribe and join us tomorrow for the next edition of One Single Story. #OneYearBible #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #DailyDevotional #OpenDoorChurch #Proverbs #WorkAsWorship #Faith

    Storms, Character, and the Foundation That Holds - Proverbs 10:24-25 | March 4, 2026

    Welcome to One Single Story, Season 5! Host Pastor Stephen Mizell and co-hosts Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski dig into Proverbs 10:24-25, exploring what it means to have a lasting foundation when life's storms arrive. This conversation unpacks how character and faith determine not just whether we survive the storm -- but who we become on the other side. Scripture Focus: Proverbs 10:24-25 - Solomon contrasts the wicked, whose fears will be fulfilled, with the godly, whose hopes will be granted -- pointing to an enduring foundation as the difference-maker. In This Episode: * Why storms are inevitable and what they reveal about our character and foundation * How faith functions like an anchor -- often unappreciated until a storm forces us to deploy it * The danger of spiritual drift and why gradual, unnoticed movement away from God can be just as threatening as a crisis * Why talent and character are not the same, and why character is what keeps doors open Key Quote: "Talent opens doors, giftings open doors. Character keeps the door open." New episodes every weekday from Open Door Church in Edenton, North Carolina. Find more at visitopendoor.com and onesinglestory.com.
