In the middle of the wrapping paper, lights, gift lists, and holiday parties, it’s easy to get swept up in the season. Christmas becomes busy, loud, and filled with joyful distractions. But underneath it all, there’s a quiet truth that still calls to us each December, the true story of Christmas.

It’s more than a nativity scene on a mantel or a carol sung in candlelight. The real story of Christmas is a moment in history when love broke through, hope arrived in human form, and peace was born into a weary world.

At OneShare Health, our Mission has always been clear, to serve our Members with integrity, compassion, and Christ-centered purpose. Every step we take is grounded in the belief that faith and care belong at the center of every health journey.

A Testament to Transparency and Trust

Today, we’re proud to share a milestone that reflects that commitment: OneShare Health has been nationally accredited by the Healthcare Sharing Accreditation Board (HCSAB).

This respected accreditation recognizes Health Care Sharing Ministries that meet rigorous standards for financial transparency, organizational integrity, Member experience, and operational best practices. For OneShare Health, it’s not just a badge of honor, it’s a powerful reflection of the consistent work, prayerful stewardship, and Member-focused service that guide our every decision.

From the very beginning, our ministry set out to be different. Not just in the services we offer, but in the way we offer them with humility, excellence, and a commitment to doing what’s right. This accreditation confirms that our internal processes, financial practices, and leadership structure meet some of the most demanding standards in the Health Care Sharing space.

So grab your favorite mug, cozy up, and explore the many ways you can turn a simple cup of cocoa into something truly soul-warming.

At OneShare Health, we often engage with our Members on topics that go beyond physical wellness, topics that speak to the heart, mind, and spirit. As a Health Care Sharing Ministry, we believe that caring for the soul includes thinking carefully about the media we consume and how it aligns (or doesn’t) with a biblical worldview.

With the release of Wicked: For Good, the second and final chapter in the Wicked film series, many Christians are once again asking: Is this something we should watch?

While For Good wraps up the story, it also depends deeply on the choices, themes, and tensions introduced in Wicked: Part One. Together, these two films tell a powerful story about identity, injustice, personal choices, and the often-blurred lines between good and evil.

Let’s take a biblical look at Wicked: For Good, while also drawing from the spiritual threads woven throughout the entire Wicked journey.
