Struggling with miscommunication, constant distractions, or feeling unheard?

In a world dominated by social media, short attention spans, and endless noise, listening has become a lost art—but it’s one of the most powerful tools for building stronger relationships, deeper faith, and better leadership. In this episode, we break down the science of listening, why most people are bad at it, and how improving this skill can change your life. Learn how social media addiction is rewiring our ability to focus, why Jesus DID listen to everyone but knew when to take action, and the dangerous consequences of ignoring God and others. Plus, we ask YOU the #1 thing people in church wish their pastors would hear. Whether you want to become a better spouse, friend, leader, or believer, this episode is packed with biblical truth, practical tips, and hard-hitting insights to help you listen better and live wiser.

Money and faith—two topics that make people uncomfortable, especially when they collide. Should Christians pursue wealth, or does God want us to live simply? And what about pastors—should they be driving luxury cars or living paycheck to paycheck? In this episode of The Pastors Hangover, we tackle the tough questions: Is tithing still relevant if the Old Testament law was fulfilled? Do flashy, wealthy pastors hurt the church’s reputation? And when it comes to trusting God, is it harder when you have nothing or when you have everything? Let’s have the conversation no one wants to have—but everyone needs to.

In this episode, we break down how setbacks reveal character, why humility is essential for leadership, and how God’s grace is bigger than your worst mistakes.

Don’t let pride keep you stuck—embrace the lessons, make the adjustments, and keep moving forward.

This week on The Pastors Hangover, we tackle the difference between being a contributor and a consumer in the church. Is showing up without serving like being an adult mooching off their parents? Why does real spiritual growth require community, accountability, and boundaries? Plus, we celebrate Melissa’s big news, debate the best Girl Scout cookies, and maybe even throw in some Super Bowl hot takes. Don’t miss it!

Easter 2024

Let’s DEEP dive into one of the most debated questions in Christianity: Does baptism save you? We’ll explore why different denominations view baptism so differently and unpack the scriptures like Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, and Matthew 28:19. Is infant baptism enough, or is personal belief the key? 

We also look at what it means to be "born of water and the Spirit" and whether being baptized without truly understanding its significance has any bearing on salvation. Tune in for clarity on a topic that can leave many questioning what the Bible really says.
