In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, we tackle the challenges of managing recovery while living with chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia. Pain can amplify temptations to self-medicate with unhealthy behaviors like overeating, alcohol, or pornography, making recovery even harder. 

Drawing from personal experiences, we explore the link between physical pain and temptation, the importance of leaning into God’s strength in moments of weakness, and the value of building a strong support system.

Whether you’re a pastor or ministry leader facing similar struggles, this episode offers hope, practical tools, and spiritual encouragement for staying on the path of recovery, even in the toughest times.

Todays topic is important because if you do not feel like a Pastors in Recovery meeting is a safe place to share you will not join a group and will never share.This would be tragic if your hurts, hang-ups and habits remained inside and you never had the opportunity to share.

Everyone in a Pastors in Recovery group knows how serious it is for them for it to be safe and that makes it safe for you. In recovery groups like CR, AA etc, your would find in the guidelines these safety measures which are read every meeting. That is what keeps the group safe. In today’s podcast we are going to break these ideas down.
