December 04, 2024 Episode 17 - Physical Suffering and Recovery - Finding Grace in Pain
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.

Do you ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels in life, faith, or circumstances?

Maybe you’re stuck in your marriage, ministry, or personal goals, unsure how to move forward. In this episode, I share personal stories—like getting my truck stuck (twice!)—as powerful metaphors for life’s challenges.
We’ll dive into Matthew 14:22-33, where Peter walks on water until he feels stuck, distracted by the storm around him. Together, we’ll explore why we feel stuck, how to recognize it, and, most importantly, what to do about it.Learn how to lean on Jesus and find practical support through sponsors, accountability partners, therapists, and trusted community.
Feeling stuck is not the end—it’s an opportunity for growth, humility, and deeper connection with God and others.Join us as we unpack how to get “unstuck” and take steps toward the abundant life God has for you!
Don’t forget: Share your “stuck” stories and breakthroughs with us on social media or through our podcast community. Let’s inspire each other to keep moving forward!

October 11, 2024 Episode 9 - Why Pastors in Recovery MUST be a SAFE Judgment-Free Zone
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.
