When you’re a pastor, Sunday probably isn’t your Sabbath - it may be the busiest day of your week. So you choose Monday. Then Monday fills up. You try Saturday, but the sermon still needs work and Sunday is coming. Before long, rest becomes something you’ll get to “next week.”

But what if the problem isn’t just your schedule?

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, we look at the complicated reality of Sabbath rest for pastors and their families.

What does rest actually mean?
Can Sabbath move from week to week?
How does exhaustion affect our recovery?
And what if staying busy is doing something for us that we don’t want to admit?

We’ll also introduce BAHALTS—Burdened, Addicted, Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired, and Sick—and look at why a depleted pastor may be especially vulnerable to old coping behaviors.

This isn’t about guilt or creating another religious rule to follow. It’s about stopping long enough to ask two important questions:

What are we actually trying to protect?
Where is Sabbath this week?

What does rest actually mean?
Can Sabbath move from week to week?
How does exhaustion affect our recovery?
And what if staying busy is doing something for us that we don’t want to admit?

What are we actually trying to protect?
Where is Sabbath this week?

The day can move. The commitment doesn’t.

What if you never get caught?

Nobody finds the browser history. Nobody sees the messages. Nobody smells the alcohol. Your congregation still respects you. Your family still trusts you. You still preach on Sunday morning. But are you doing well because God has changed your heart—or have you just gotten really good at not getting caught?

In Episode 106 of Pastors in Recovery, we look at Paul’s surprising words in Colossians 2:20–23: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” Paul warns that religious rules and self-imposed discipline can have the appearance of wisdom while lacking the power to transform the desires underneath our behavior. Boundaries matter. Saying “no” matters. Consequences can keep us from making decisions we would deeply regret. But recovery has to go deeper.

We’ll look back at the progression of Episodes 101–105, revisit the familiar 1980s message “Just Say No,” and hear a special audio drama showing how a pastor’s vulnerability—or lack of it—can affect struggling people sitting in the pews. The question isn't simply, “Did I cross the boundary?” It's also: “What would I choose if I knew nobody would ever find out?” Because recovery isn't simply learning how to say no.

Recovery is allowing Jesus to change the heart that keeps wanting to say yes.

Scripture: Colossians 2:20–23; Colossians 3; James 5:16

In Episode 105 of Pastors in Recovery, we take an honest look at the burdens we carry—and what it really means to “cast all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you.

”Pastors can become very good at carrying layer after layer of responsibility, worry, fear, family concerns, ministry pressure, regret, and things we simply cannot control. Sometimes we don’t even realize how much weight we’re carrying until it begins to overwhelm us.Using the picture of casting a fishing line, Jon explores the meaning behind 1 Peter 5:7: we aren’t simply told to get rid of our cares—we’re told where to send them. We cast them toward the Lord.Because alcohol doesn’t care about us. Addiction doesn’t care about us. Busyness, food, shopping, and distraction may numb the pressure for a while, but they cannot carry us.God can.And He invites us to give Him the burden for a very personal reason:Because He cares for us.

This episode is not a sermon aimed at other pastors. It’s a reminder from someone who is learning to do this himself: identify what you’re carrying, release what you cannot control, and keep casting it back to the One who loves you.

What happens when good intentions never become action?

In Episode 104 of Pastors in Recovery, Jon explores the gap between what we mean to do and what we actually do. Through the drama “Humble Pride,” personal reflection, and strong biblical recovery principles, this episode looks at the subtle ways pride, anxiety, exhaustion, ministry pressure, and fear can keep pastors stuck.

This is not a message of condemnation. It is a call to honesty, surrender, and one faithful next step.If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll deal with it soon,” this episode may be for you.

What do you do when the words are already out there and you cannot take them back?

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, we continue our series on words and intentions by looking at what happens after careless or hurtful words have already done damage.

Using Scripture as the foundation and recovery principles as practical tools, we talk about owning your side of the street, confession, apology, making amends, forgiveness, consequences, rebuilding trust, and the difference between saying “I’m sorry” and actually living differently.

We also explore an important truth: forgiveness does not always mean trust is instantly restored, and grace does not always erase consequences.

The question is not only, “What did I say?”
The question is:What do I do next?

The question is not only, “What did I say?”
The question is:What do I do next?

Words may be small, but they are never powerless.

In Episode 102 of the Pastors in Recovery podcast, Jon begins a three-part series about our words, their impact, and the intentions behind them. Using James chapter 3, Jon explores the power of the tongue through the images of a bit, a rudder, and a small spark that can set an entire forest on fire. He also shares honest stories from his years in ministry—awkward words, careless speech, damaging frustration, facial expressions, interruption, sarcasm, and the moments when his mouth moved faster than his wisdom.

This episode asks a deeper recovery question:
What do our words reveal about what is happening in our hearts?

You will also hear practical encouragement about learning to pause, listen, and correct yourself before careless words gain momentum.

Episode 102 is Part One of the Words and Intentions series.

What happens when the same platform that helps you stay connected also becomes a threat to your recovery?

In Episode 101 of Pastors in Recovery, Jon begins with a five-minute audio drama, then shares an honest and practical conversation about Facebook Reels, temptation, accountability, boundaries, and spiritual formation.

This episode explores how to retrain the algorithm, reduce exposure, remove unnecessary apps, redirect important relationships, and report honestly to trusted accountability partners. Jon also shares his own Facebook Reels experiment, practical tools for limiting time, changing the environment, keeping the phone out of vulnerable spaces, and using timers before the scrolling begins. But the issue goes deeper than social media settings. What we repeatedly entertain shapes our thoughts, habits, and desires.

Recovery involves guarding the doorway, bringing secrets into the light, and feeding the spirit through prayer, Scripture, worship, fellowship, and a growing relationship with Jesus. The goal is not to tell everyone what they must do. The goal is to provide tools, encourage honesty, and help each listener decide what boundaries are necessary to protect what matters most.

Your brain is trained by what you entertain.

In this milestone 100th episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon looks back on the journey that shaped the first one hundred episodes—and offers a glimpse of what may come next.

The episode begins with a short original radio drama, The Bridge, followed by a personal reflection on loneliness, hidden struggles, failure, recovery, ADHD, creativity, and the grace of God. Jon shares honestly about how the podcast changed from what he first imagined, why so many pastors struggle to tell their stories, and how artificial intelligence has helped him organize his thoughts without replacing his voice, convictions, or lived experience.

Through it all, several truths remain:
Pastors are lonely.
Hiding keeps us sick.
The pastor and the person cannot be separated.
Failure happened, but failure is not identity.
Recovery is a journey.
And grace has always been the hero.

Episode 100 is both a celebration and a reminder: The story is not over.

As we prepare for Episode 100, Jon reflects on one truth that has quietly woven its way through every conversation on Pastors in Recovery.We've talked about addiction, burnout, ministry, failure, shame, and recovery—but underneath every story has been the same Hero: God's grace.

In this episode, we'll explore the beautiful connection between God's love and His grace. Grace isn't proof that God overlooks our sin. It's proof of how deeply He loves us. The cross reminds us that our sin was serious, but God's love was even greater.

If you've ever struggled to believe that God could truly forgive you, restore you, or still use your life, this episode is a reminder that His grace has never been cheap—it has always been costly because His love for you is beyond measure.

Recovery can sometimes feel frustrating. We complete a Step Study, attend meetings, work with a sponsor, and still find ourselves noticing all the ways we haven't arrived yet. In this encouraging episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond reminds pastors and ministry leaders to pause and look back at what God has already done.

Using the illustration of a woodworking shop, Jon explores how recovery gives us tools, but lasting growth comes through using those tools over time, supported by healthy rhythms and authentic community.

If you've ever wondered whether you're making progress, felt discouraged by your ongoing struggles, or questioned whether recovery is really working, this episode is for you.
The truth is, most growth happens slowly. Through honest conversations, accountability, prayer, meetings, sponsors, and simply continuing to show up, God is shaping us into the people He created us to be.

As Samuel declared in 1 Samuel 7:12:
"Hitherto hath the LORD helped us."

Up to this point, God has been faithful. And that's worth celebrating.

Remember… God meets us in our brokenness. And that's where the journey toward restoration begins.

When we pray for help, guidance, wisdom, or strength, we often expect God to answer through a miracle, a sign, or a dramatic breakthrough. But what if many of God's answers arrive in the form of people?

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond explores the biblical examples of Aaron, Jonathan, Barnabas, Ruth, Naomi, and the friends who carried a paralyzed man to Jesus. Along the way, Jon shares personal stories about three people God used to shape his own life: his wife Janine, his youth pastor "Bones," and his longtime sponsor James.

Whether you're in recovery, ministry, or simply navigating life's challenges, this episode is a reminder that God often works through relationships. The people who encourage us, challenge us, walk beside us, and help carry our burdens may be some of His greatest gifts.Who has God sent into your life?

And who might God be sending you to?

Episode 93 explores the emotional and spiritual transition many pastors quietly face as they grow older. What happens when your passions begin to change? What if retirement is not the end of your purpose, but a new season of it?

In this deeply personal episode, Jon Hammond reflects on aging, ministry identity, family, legacy, and the growing desire to simply be near the people we love most. He shares honest thoughts about how his perspective has changed over the years, especially now as a grandfather, and why many older pastors begin valuing presence over performance. This episode speaks to pastors who are wrestling with slowing down, redefining purpose, and learning that a quieter assignment is not a lesser assignment.

Featuring the original song “Seasons,” inspired by the timeless and reverent style of classic Christian inspirational music honoring older saints who have remained faithful through every stage of life.

In this deeply personal episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond talks honestly about pastors who struggle to slow down. From racing thoughts and chaotic desks to guilt over resting and late-night scrolling, this episode explores the hidden mental and emotional overload many pastors quietly carry.

Jon discusses ADHD-style struggles, overstimulation, exhaustion, and the pressure many ministry leaders feel to always stay productive and available. He also shares practical encouragement about accountability, healthy rhythms, medication consistency, and learning how to “downshift” instead of constantly running in overdrive.

This is not a medical discussion or diagnosis. It’s an honest conversation about grace, self-awareness, recovery, and understanding how God can meet pastors even in their weakness and exhaustion.

In Episode 91 of the Pastors in Recovery, Jon opens up about something he misunderstood about himself for years — why certain parts of ministry energized him while other parts emotionally drained him. Why did preaching, mentoring, recovery groups, creativity, and helping people solve problems feel life-giving… while hospital visits, emotionally heavy conversations, and intimate adult interactions often created anxiety and exhaustion? This honest conversation explores:

performance anxiety in ministry,
emotional wiring,
purposeful helping,
fear of emotionally undefined situations,
and the hidden danger of using ministry as a safe place to avoid facing our own pain.

Jon shares personal stories from youth ministry, church planting, Celebrate Recovery, and even working tech at Target, where God slowly stretched and grew him relationally over time. This episode is for pastors, leaders, caregivers, and helpers who genuinely love people… but sometimes realize they’ve spent so much time helping everybody else that they forgot how to let God help them too.

What happens when someone feels genuinely called by God… but they’re not fully ready yet?

In Episode 90 of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond talks honestly about one of the most difficult balancing acts pastors face: encouraging people in their calling while also protecting the church through wisdom, discernment, and healthy leadership boundaries. Drawing from personal experiences in Bible college, early ministry opportunities, painful leadership betrayals, and lessons learned the hard way, Jon explores the difference between charisma and character, gifting and grounding, passion and preparation. This episode dives into:

why calling and readiness are not always the same thing
the danger of releasing leaders too quickly
how wounded pastors can swing toward control or unhealthy trust
why healthy churches require both grace and discernment
how leaders like Tommy Barnett and Rick Warren modeled healthy delegation and development
and why pastors must seek God’s wisdom and trusted counsel when making leadership decisions

how wounded pastors can swing toward control or unhealthy trust

Most importantly, this episode reminds us that God often calls people long before He finishes shaping them. Because healthy pastors grow healthy churches.

Sometimes the hardest part of ministry isn’t the sermon… it’s the moving truck.

In Episode 89 of the Pastors in Recovery podcast, Jon Hammond talks honestly about the emotional cost of relocating in ministry and how repeated church moves can deeply affect pastors, wives, and children.

New churches can bring excitement, opportunity, and fresh vision… but they can also leave families exhausted, uprooted, and quietly hurting. This episode explores the tension between genuine calling and the temptation to escape burnout, conflict, restlessness, or the pursuit of “something bigger.”

If you’ve ever packed boxes for another ministry move…
wondered how it affected your marriage…
or watched your children struggle with instability and loss…
this conversation is for you.

In this honest and heartfelt episode of Pastors in Recovery, we talk about the heartbreak of loving teenage or adult children who are making difficult choices, drifting spiritually, resisting help, or blaming the very people trying to care for them.

For many parents, the dream slowly changes over time. First you hoped they’d love Jesus. Then maybe marry well. Then maybe just stay in church. Then maybe just find stability. Then maybe… just stay safe. And through it all, your love never got smaller. This episode is for parents carrying guilt, grief, confusion, and private tears. Especially those who feel like they failed when in reality they are dealing with something every loving parent eventually learns: You can love deeply… and still not control the outcome.

We’ll talk about:
• When helping gets called controlling
• Why parents carry guilt for choices they didn’t make
• Boundaries without losing love
• Hope when your child is far from where you dreamed they’d be
• Trusting God with what you cannot change

🎵 Featuring the original song: I'll Leave The Porch Light On
A moving reminder that even when you can’t walk their road for them, you can still keep the light on.

Sometimes in ministry, we give our best energy to everyone else… and the one closest to us gets what’s left.

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, we take an honest look at what it means to truly love your wife—not just in words, but in presence, sacrifice, and everyday choices. With Mother’s Day approaching, this is a reminder that our wives don’t just need appreciation once a year… they need to know they’re not walking alone.

We’ll talk about:

• The quiet ways we drift at home while staying faithful in ministry
• What it really means to “lay down your life” for your wife
• How distraction and comparison can steal your affection
• Simple, tangible ways to step back in and love her well

This episode isn’t about guilt. It’s about returning. 🎵 Featuring the original song: “In Your Corner”
A powerful reminder of what it means to come back, stand beside her, and carry the weight together.

Have you ever tried to connect with someone… and it just didn’t go the way you hoped? Maybe it felt awkward. Maybe they didn’t respond. Maybe you walked away thinking, “That didn’t work… so I’m done.” In this episode, we go deeper than just surface-level connection. We talk about why many of us stop trying—not just because it didn’t work, but because it cost us something. Sometimes it’s rejection. Sometimes it’s comparison. And sometimes… it’s what we believe about ourselves. We unpack:

Why one awkward moment doesn’t mean failure
What happens when we feel “less than” in the room
How wrong motives (like trying to climb or prove ourselves) can sabotage connection
The hidden role of insecurity and overthinking
And how living in the past or future keeps us from real relationships

What happens when we feel “less than” in the room
How wrong motives (like trying to climb or prove ourselves) can sabotage connection

And how living in the past or future keeps us from real relationships

Most importantly, we talk about how to shift out of “me-focused” thinking and into real, present, meaningful connection. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation replaying everything you said… or avoided someone because you assumed they didn’t want to talk to you… this one is for you. You don’t have to perform your way into connection. You just have to be present.

Loneliness is something many pastors feel—but what if part of the problem isn’t just what’s happening to us… but what we’re not doing about it? In

Episode 1, we talked about how real isolation is in ministry. But this episode is different. This is a practical conversation about what it actually looks like to move out of isolation and into connection. We talk about:

• The difference between healthy solitude and unhealthy isolation
• Why connection feels awkward and hard to initiate
• How shame (especially around hidden struggles) pushes us into hiding
• The lie that “everyone knows” what you’ve done—and why that’s not true
• How to reconnect in a healthy way: God → sponsor → others
• Simple, real-life strategies to build connection (coffee, calendars, conferences, and more)
• Why waiting for connection doesn’t work—and what it means to go first God often puts people in our path—but He doesn’t schedule our relationships for us.

If you’ve been feeling isolated, this episode gives you a simple, doable next step.
One person.
One text.

What if you didn’t fall…

what if you just drifted?

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, we talk about one of the most dangerous realities in ministry—the slow, almost invisible drift away from God. It doesn’t start with rebellion.

It starts with distraction.
Busyness.
Fatigue.
Numbing out.
From King David staying home instead of going to war…to pastors today scrolling late at night, trying to find rest in all the wrong places—this episode exposes how drift really happens.

Whether you’re a young pastor just starting out, raising a family in the middle years, or feeling the weight of decades in ministry… the truth is the same: Drift doesn’t care what stage you’re in.

It happens quietly.
It happens gradually.
And in today’s world, it can happen faster than ever.

But there is hope. If you’ve been going through the motions…
if your fire has dimmed…
if your time with God has become something you do for others instead of with Him…
You haven’t fallen. You can come back.

What if the problem isn’t your life… but your expectations? In this episode, we unpack one of the most honest and freeing lines in the Serenity Prayer: “…so that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with You forever in the next.” Many of us expect following God to make life easier. We expect obedience to be rewarded with comfort. And when that doesn’t happen, we quietly begin to feel disappointed—even with God. But the Serenity Prayer doesn’t promise a perfect life.
It invites us into something deeper: realistic expectations, lasting peace, and a shift in perspective. In this episode, we talk about:

What “reasonably happy” really means
How unrealistic expectations lead to disappointment
Why life doesn’t suddenly become perfect in recovery or faith
Letting go of control—especially with the people we love most
The difference between peace now and ultimate joy later

Jon also shares a personal story about raising his kids, learning to release control, and finding peace in the middle of imperfect outcomes. If you’ve ever wondered why life still feels hard—even when you’re doing the right things—this episode will help realign your expectations and restore your hope.

In Episode 82 of the Pastors in Recovery Podcast, we continue our Serenity Prayer series by exploring the line: “Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will.”

When many of us think about the will of God, we often focus on the big life questions—career, ministry opportunities, relationships, and the direction of our future. But the will of God is not only something we try to discover in the future. Much of it has already been revealed to us through the Word of God.

In this episode we talk about how God guides our lives through Scripture, prayer, the voice of the Holy Spirit, and the wisdom of others. Sometimes the answer we are searching for is not something new at all—it is returning to the last thing God already asked us to do. We also look at the story in 2 Kings 6, where Elisha asks a simple but profound question when the axe head falls into the water: “Where did it fall?” Before anything could be restored, they had to go back to where it was lost. In the same way, God often calls us back to obedience in the place where we first began.

Jon shares a personal story from his early years in youth ministry when discouragement and financial pressure made it tempting to move on to something bigger. Instead, he chose to stay—walking with the same group of students from junior high through graduation. Years later many of those students reached out, sharing how that consistency shaped their faith. Sometimes surrendering to God’s will doesn’t mean moving on to something new. Sometimes it means staying faithful to what God has already placed in front of us.

This episode also features an original song written for this message: “What If I Stay?” A reflection on the struggle pastors face when ministry becomes difficult and the quiet decision to surrender to God’s will rather than run toward greener pastures.

In Episode 81 of the Pastors in Recovery Podcast, we continue our Serenity Prayer series by reflecting on a powerful and difficult line: “Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.”

Many pastors begin ministry with a vision of how the world should be. We dream of healthy churches, healed marriages, honest leadership, and people who respond quickly to truth. But over time, reality can feel very different. Brokenness shows up in places we never expected—sometimes even inside the church.

In this episode, we talk honestly about the tension between our ideal expectations and the real world we serve in. Jesus understood the brokenness of the world better than anyone. Yet His life was not a series of frustrated reactions to disappointment. Instead, He entered the pain of the world with compassion. He wept over the lost, loved the hurting, and took purposeful action without trying to force people to change. Learning to accept the world as it is does not mean we stop caring. It means we stop trying to control what only God can transform.

This episode invites pastors to release unrealistic expectations, trust God in the middle of brokenness, and rediscover the peace that comes from surrender. The episode closes with an original song written for this message: “Why Can’t the World Be Like I Want It to Be” A reflection on youthful idealism, the disappointments of ministry, and the grace we discover when we finally learn to see the world as it is—and trust God within it.

In Episode 81 of the Pastors in Recovery Podcast, we continue our Serenity Prayer series by reflecting on a powerful and difficult line: “Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.”

Many pastors begin ministry with a vision of how the world should be. We dream of healthy churches, healed marriages, honest leadership, and people who respond quickly to truth. But over time, reality can feel very different. Brokenness shows up in places we never expected—sometimes even inside the church.

In this episode, we talk honestly about the tension between our ideal expectations and the real world we serve in. Jesus understood the brokenness of the world better than anyone. Yet His life was not a series of frustrated reactions to disappointment. Instead, He entered the pain of the world with compassion. He wept over the lost, loved the hurting, and took purposeful action without trying to force people to change. Learning to accept the world as it is does not mean we stop caring. It means we stop trying to control what only God can transform.

This episode invites pastors to release unrealistic expectations, trust God in the middle of brokenness, and rediscover the peace that comes from surrender. The episode closes with an original song written for this message: “Why Can’t the World Be Like I Want It to Be” A reflection on youthful idealism, the disappointments of ministry, and the grace we discover when we finally learn to see the world as it is—and trust God within it.

This may be the most difficult line in the entire Serenity Prayer.

In this episode, I share personal stories of real hardship — my sister running away from home, losing my brother to Hodgkin’s disease, the devastating loss of my nine-month-old nephew, and more recent struggles with injury, limitation, and physical decline. Hardship doesn’t feel like peace.

So how can it possibly be the pathway to it? Drawing from James 1, Hebrews 12, and the words of Jesus Himself, we explore how pain becomes training, how suffering forces surrender, and how surrender leads us to the Prince of Peace.

This is not about pretending hardship is good. It’s about discovering what it produces when it is surrendered to God. Peace is not the absence of suffering. Peace is the presence of Christ in the middle of it.

If you are carrying something heavy right now, this episode is for you.

Are you living in yesterday’s regret… or tomorrow’s anxiety?

In Part 5 of our Serenity Prayer series, we explore two powerful phrases: “Living one day at a time.
Enjoying one moment at a time.” Many pastors and ministry leaders struggle with replaying conversations from the past or rehearsing fears about the future. Shame and insecurity quietly shape how we lead, speak, and show up in relationships.

In this episode, we imagine the same pastor in three different mental locations:

• Living in the past
• Living in the future
• Living fully in the present

We unpack how worship and prayer realign the heart, expose hidden idols, and restore peace. When we seek God’s face, shame loses authority. Fear loosens its grip. And clarity returns.
Scripture anchors this conversation in: Isaiah 43:18–19, Matthew 6:34 and Psalm 118:24
If you are tired of spiraling thoughts, insecurity, or mental over-rehearsing, this episode will gently guide you back to what matters most — today.

🎶 At the end of the episode, Jon invites listeners to enter into worship through the new Stone and Mercy album, Greater Still, available wherever you stream music under “Crashing Lyrics.”

In Part 4 of our Serenity Prayer series, we focus on one of the most overlooked — and most powerful — lines: “…and the wisdom to know the difference.” As pastors, many of us are wired to fix things. We carry responsibility. We step into chaos. We try to help. But what happens when we confuse what is ours to do with what only God can do?

In this episode, we talk about discernment born from closeness to Christ.
About the sin of omission.
About fear, comfort, insecurity, and self-deception.
And about how wisdom comes not from trying harder — but from staying nearer. God will not do what He has clearly given us the power and responsibility to do.

And we cannot do what only He can accomplish.

We end this episode differently — with an invitation into extended worship. If you’d like to stay and sit with the Lord, the final 25 minutes include music from the Stone & Mercy album, created as a space for reflection, surrender, and listening. You can listen, pray, or simply be still. Sometimes wisdom begins in silence.

This week on Pastors in Recovery, we move into the hardest part of the Serenity Prayer. Not accepting what we cannot change. But owning what we can. As pastors, we preach that the Holy Spirit does the cleaning. We say, “God changes hearts.” And that’s true.

But what happens when God has already shown us something… and we haven’t obeyed?
Where have we prayed for deliverance when we needed repentance?
Where have we blamed God for our lack of discipline?
Where have we said, “God hasn’t changed me yet,” when we haven’t taken the step He already asked for?

But what happens when God has already shown us something… and we haven’t obeyed?
Where have we prayed for deliverance when we needed repentance?
Where have we blamed God for our lack of discipline?
Where have we said, “God hasn’t changed me yet,” when we haven’t taken the step He already asked for?

In this episode, we talk about the partnership between God’s power and our responsibility. About how obedience isn’t passive. About how growth requires courage. And about the quiet, personal work that no one else sees. This isn’t condemnation. It’s clarity. Because sometimes the prayer isn’t “God change this.”

Sometimes it’s “God, I’m ready to change.”
Take a deep breath.
Let the Holy Spirit speak.
And ask yourself… what’s mine to own?

What happens when God is first… but nothing changes?

In Week 2 of our Serenity Prayer series, we slow down and sit with one of the hardest realities of faith and recovery: accepting what we cannot change. Many of us were formed to believe that obedience should be rewarded—and that if we’re doing the right things, life should get easier. But what happens when it doesn’t?

This episode explores the quiet disappointment pastors often carry when surrender doesn’t lead to relief, and how the Serenity Prayer invites us into a deeper reframe—not changing reality, but changing our relationship to it. Drawing from Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” we reflect on faithfulness without resolution, obedience without relief, and peace that doesn’t depend on outcomes. Acceptance is not giving up—it’s learning how to trust God inside what remains.

If you’ve ever prayed, surrendered, and still found yourself standing in the same pain, this episode is for you. “This week on Pastors in Recovery, we stayed with the Serenity Prayer and sat with what it means to accept what we cannot change—and still find peace.”

In this episode, we begin a new short series by slowing down and looking closer at the Serenity Prayer—starting with the very first word: God. Before we ask for serenity, courage, or wisdom, we acknowledge who God is. This prayer begins by placing God at the center, not as a vending machine or last resort, but as the greatest and highest power—worthy of our trust, our surrender, and our praise.

We talk honestly about control, pride, and the tension between the things we desperately want to fix and the things we simply cannot change. From chronic illness to other people’s choices, from global problems to personal limits, this prayer invites us into a posture of humility and dependence on God.

This episode sets the foundation for the weeks ahead, where we’ll break the Serenity Prayer into four clear sections—one piece at a time—so it stays practical, meaningful, and livable, not overwhelming.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted trying to control what was never yours to carry, this episode is for you.

This episode is a pause, a breath, and a look back. In Episode 74, we step away from teaching individual steps and instead reflect on what the Twelve Steps give us as a whole. Not as a program to complete—but as a way of living. Each step becomes a rail that keeps us steady:

how we tell the truth,
how we surrender control,
how we repair damage,
how we stay spiritually awake.

This recap is especially for pastors and leaders who’ve walked the steps but need a reminder of why they matter and how they shape a lifetime of recovery. Next week, we’ll slow down even more as we begin a deep dive into the Serenity Prayer—line by line—discovering how it guides recovery for the rest of our lives. You don’t graduate from recovery.

Step Twelve is where recovery turns outward—but for pastors, this step comes with real danger. When healing starts to look like leadership, ego can quietly slip in. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it means to carry hope without trying to carry people. Step Twelve reminds us that recovery doesn’t make us heroes—it makes us witnesses. In this episode, we explore:

The difference between calling and control
Why pastors are tempted to become fixers instead of fellow travelers
How ego can hide inside good intentions and spiritual language
What it really looks like to practice Step Twelve in daily life
Why giving back is about availability, not platforms

Jon shares personal stories about creativity, ministry influence, early lessons in humility, and how this entire podcast—now 73 episodes—is simply a response to the opportunity to serve and give back. If you’re a pastor wondering what comes after healing…this episode will help you walk forward with humility, clarity, and hope. Recovery didn’t end with you—but it doesn’t revolve around you either.

Jon shares personal stories about creativity, ministry influence, early lessons in humility, and how this entire podcast—now 73 episodes—is simply a response to the opportunity to serve and give back. If you’re a pastor wondering what comes after healing…this episode will help you walk forward with humility, clarity, and hope. Recovery didn’t end with you—but it doesn’t revolve around you either.

Most pastors don’t struggle with prayer because they don’t know how. They struggle because their lives are loud. In Step Eleven, we’re invited to improve our conscious contact with God through prayer and meditation—but for pastors, listening can be harder than speaking. When our days are full of serving, leading, producing, and responding… there’s often no space left to be still. In this episode, we talk honestly about:

why pastors already know Step Eleven—but still struggle to live it
how constant noise and digital distraction make listening to God difficult
the difference between prayer as speaking and meditation as staying present
why God’s voice often feels quiet—not because He’s absent, but because our lives are full

This isn’t about doing more spiritual things.
It’s about making room. The episode closes with a simple, realistic listening practice and an original song, “Face Down on the Table,” inspired by the choice to set distractions aside and sit quietly with God.

Step Ten is where recovery becomes a way of life. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to stay honest in real time—not by sitting down later to write another inventory, but by dealing with life moment by moment as it happens. Using the image of a clear backpack, we explore how unowned reactions, careless words, and unresolved moments quietly add weight to our lives and ministries.

Step Ten invites us to keep the backpack light by owning our part promptly, repairing relationships quickly, and refusing to carry tomorrow what can be handled today. We also look at what it means to be “prepared in season and out of season”—not just with sermons, but with a clean heart—and how living this way allows us to stay free, present, and grounded in our calling.

This episode is for pastors who want:

Freedom that lasts
Relationships without unfinished business
Recovery that’s lived, not just talked about

Step Ten keeps us ready.
Step Ten helps us stay free.

Making amends sounds simple—until you actually do it. In this episode, we move beyond talking about Step 9 and step into the harder work of doing it wisely. We explore how even sincere apologies can cause more harm when they’re driven by guilt, image management, or the need for closure. Through a personal story, three “Imagine a Pastor” scenarios, and Scripture, this conversation helps pastors understand the difference between managing our conscience and truly owning our part. Step 9 isn’t about fixing relationships or securing forgiveness.
It’s about taking responsibility without controlling the outcome. We’ll talk about:

Why some amends make things worse instead of better
How to own your side of the street without reopening wounds
When silence and changed behavior are the most loving response
Why peace comes from obedience—not resolution

Why some amends make things worse instead of better
How to own your side of the street without reopening wounds
When silence and changed behavior are the most loving response
Why peace comes from obedience—not resolution

The episode closes with an original, acoustic song, “My Side of the Street,” reflecting the quiet surrender that comes when we do our part and place the rest in God’s hands.

In this episode, we step into one of the most challenging and freeing moments of recovery: learning to own the damage we’ve caused. For many pastors, it’s easier to talk about what happened to us than to look honestly at what has happened through us. Step Eight calls us to step out of our self-protective bubble, stop justifying our patterns, and let God show us the people we’ve hurt along the way. We talk about:

• How pride and unconfessed sin build a “Bubblelator” around our hearts
• Why Step Four is necessary before Step Eight
• How patterns form—and why we can’t heal what we keep defending
• What David teaches us when he finally said, “I have sinned against the Lord”
• Two stories of pastors who discovered freedom by seeing the truth
• Why this step is not about shame, but about clarity and healing

This episode is an invitation to step into the light, experience the grace of honesty, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you toward real amends, real healing, and real change.

Today we talk about the crash that almost every pastor knows but rarely admits—the moment after the sermon when the anointing fades, the adrenaline stops, and the real battle begins. You’ve prayed. You’ve preached. God has moved.

But when the house grows quiet… the worries return.
The pain you’ve carried comes back.
The temptations you thought were gone show up again.
And the enemy whispers, “You’re failing.” But you’re not.
You’re human.

And God is inviting you into something deeper than image management—He wants to heal the pastor, not the performer. In this episode, we walk through why pastors hide, why the anointing doesn’t erase our humanity, and how God used imperfect people throughout Scripture—Elijah, Balaam, and even King Saul—while still calling them to transformation. This step is about dropping the act, letting God into the rooms we keep locked, and allowing His voice to shape us more than our platform does. Step 7: “I seek character change, not image management.”
(2 Corinthians 3:18)

If you’ve ever felt anointed one moment and broken the next… you’re not alone.
And you’re not beyond healing.

Step Six is where healing finally starts to take root. It’s the moment we stop defending our dysfunction and become willing for God to rewrite what we’ve been hiding. In this episode, Jon shares raw stories from his years of church planting—ministry burnout, pride, insecurity, financial pressure, and the addictions that surfaced when life got overwhelming. He also opens up about the deeper roots behind anger, shame, and the patterns that kept him stuck.

Romans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds…but renewal begins with willingness. If you’ve been exhausted, overwhelmed, or defending habits you know are hurting you, this episode is for you. God isn’t asking for perfection—only willingness.

In this powerful episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon unpacks Step Five: Confessing, Not Preaching — learning to tell the truth instead of performing it. He shares honest reflections from his own ministry life — the “pastor hat,” the “church-planter hat,” and the moment he realized that the only hat that truly fits is the real-self hat. Through personal stories, relatable pastor examples, and the story of King Saul, Jon reminds us that fear of people leads to performance, but confession leads to freedom.

This episode also features Jon’s brand-new original Suno AI-assisted song, “Hats,” a nostalgic 1920s jazz-gospel piece led by clarinet that captures the journey of taking off every mask until only the real self remains.

🎵 Don’t preach your confession — live it.

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond walks through Step Four — Taking Honest Inventory. It’s the moment when pastors and ministry leaders stop performing and start allowing God to search beneath the surface.Through powerful stories and personal reflection, Jon shares how honesty replaces performance, how confession becomes a process, and how true freedom begins when we finally write the truth down and share it with someone we trust.

This episode features Jon’s original Suno song, “In Your Eyes,” a tender, acoustic reflection on God’s loving presence — the One who sees us fully and still calls us His own.

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond walks through Step Four — Taking Honest Inventory. It’s the moment when pastors and ministry leaders stop performing and start allowing God to search beneath the surface.Through powerful stories and personal reflection, Jon shares how honesty replaces performance, how confession becomes a process, and how true freedom begins when we finally write the truth down and share it with someone we trust.

This episode features Jon’s original Suno song, “In Your Eyes,” a tender, acoustic reflection on God’s loving presence — the One who sees us fully and still calls us His own.

📖 Psalm 139:23–24 — “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

In Step Three of The Twelve Steps for a Pastor in Recovery, Jon talks about one of the hardest steps in ministry — laying down control. For many pastors, surrender doesn’t mean giving up—it means giving God back what was already His. In this honest and personal episode, Jon shares real stories from his years in ministry, the struggle between vision and surrender, and the peace that came when he finally released control of outcomes, image, and expectations. You’ll also hear how even great leaders like Moses wrestled with this step, and how learning to trust God’s leadership can lift the weight we were never meant to carry. “Letting go doesn’t mean giving up — it means giving God back what was already His.” If you’ve ever felt worn out trying to hold everything together, this episode will meet you right where you are.

🎧 Key Themes:

The progressive nature of recovery — why you can’t skip steps
The illusion of control in ministry leadership
How to trust God with your image, plans, and outcomes
A practical tool for surrender: The Surrender List

📖 Scripture References:
Proverbs 3:5–6 · Isaiah 6:8 · Psalm 37:5 · Jeremiah 10:23 · Matthew 11:28–30 🎵 Original Song: “Lay It Down Again” — a soulful, country-inspired anthem about surrendering ministry control and finding peace in God’s leadership.

In this short devotional, Jon Hammond reflects on the power of praise—not as something God needs, but as something that transforms us.

When we praise, our eyes open to see God more clearly. Doubt shrinks. Faith rises.
And we discover that inviting His presence isn’t about summoning Him—it’s about awakening our own hearts to the reality that He’s already here.

Reflection Questions:

What does it mean to invite God’s presence?
Does He really need an invitation?
Isn’t He already welcome?
Can’t He do whatever He wants to do?
What happens to us when He takes us up on that invitation?
What happens to God relationally in that moment?

What does it mean to invite God’s presence?
Does He really need an invitation?
Isn’t He already welcome?
Can’t He do whatever He wants to do?
What happens to us when He takes us up on that invitation?
What happens to God relationally in that moment?

💬 Closing thought:

“Praise doesn’t make God bigger—it makes our hearts more aware of how big He’s always been.”

In this first episode of our 12-Step Series for Pastors in Recovery, we begin with Step One: Facing the Mirror. Jon Hammond opens up about what it means to be honest before God — to stop pretending, stop performing, and start admitting what’s really going on inside.

As pastors and leaders, our closeness with God often mirrors the closeness of our relationships with those we love most. When that connection weakens, everything else follows. Jon shares a personal story about a barista who reminded him what genuine love in Christ looks like — the kind of love we can’t manufacture on our own. Through this story, we’re reminded that God sometimes uses unexpected people and moments to wake us up and draw us back to Himself.

This episode challenges us to stop running from the truth, face our pain, and invite Jesus back to the center of our ministry and marriage. Because without Him, it’s all performance — but through Him, it becomes transformation.

📖 Key Scripture: “We all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” — 2 Corinthians 3:18

Social media can feel like a crazy animal for pastors. It makes everyone else’s life look perfect, while magnifying your insecurities. As pastors, we live in the tension of the pedestal—where ministry is always on display—and the reality of personal life, where things aren’t always picture perfect.

In this episode, Jon shares his own story of being deep into Facebook, the toll it took on his heart, and why he barely posts anymore. We’ll talk about the benefits of social media, the dangers of comparison and cancel culture, and how to find peace in a world of likes, shares, and followers.

Whether you avoid social media, dive deep, or feel burned by it, this conversation will help you approach it with wisdom, authenticity, and freedom. Your worth isn’t in your follower count—it’s in Christ.

Food is one of the most socially acceptable ways pastors medicate their pain. Nobody questions you when you go back for another plate at the potluck, but for many of us, food has become the comfort we reach for instead of God. In this episode, I open up about my own story of gaining weight later in life, battling cravings for ice cream and baked goods, and struggling to keep consistent with exercise. We’ll talk about why food is such a powerful temptation, how stress and medication can add to the struggle, and why food addiction is uniquely difficult in recovery circles. You’ll also hear relatable stories about pastors:

A potluck that turns into pressure to overeat.
A late-night drive-thru run after a stressful meeting.
A traveling pastor hiding behind “conference calories don’t count.”
And a young pastor using Pop-Tarts and sugar as a substitute for deeper temptations.

A potluck that turns into pressure to overeat.
A late-night drive-thru run after a stressful meeting.
A traveling pastor hiding behind “conference calories don’t count.”
And a young pastor using Pop-Tarts and sugar as a substitute for deeper temptations.

But more importantly, we’ll look to God’s Word for hope. Scriptures remind us that the Holy Spirit is our true Comforter (John 14:16–17), that God always provides a way out of temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13), and that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19–20). This isn’t about perfection or six-pack abs. It’s about honesty, progress, and surrender. If you’ve ever used food as medication, you’re not alone — and God has a plan for your body, your health, and your recovery.

👉 Reflection Question: What role does food play in your recovery story — and what step could you take this week to invite God into it?

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, I share what may be one of the most Spirit-stirring messages I’ve ever felt led to record. Criticism can sting, and for many of us, it sticks—echoing in our hearts for years. As pastors and people in recovery, it’s easy to let harsh words define us, but Christ calls us to something greater.

We’ll look at how Jesus Himself faced constant criticism without letting it derail His mission, how leaders today wrestle with the weight of public opposition, and how everyday criticism—from friends, family, or church members—can cut deeply. I share a personal story of how memory struggles and fibro fog have brought painful criticism from those I love, and how God used even that to teach me not to run from hurt, but to anchor my identity in Him.

Together we’ll dive into Proverbs 27:6, Isaiah 51:7, and Romans 8:1, unpacking how to tell the difference between helpful wounds and toxic words, how to root our confidence in God’s presence, and how to remember that in Christ there is no condemnation.

If you’ve ever carried the sting of unfair words, if you’ve ever been tempted to let criticism define you or derail your calling, this episode is for you.

In this continuation of our series on shame, Jon addresses one of the most difficult and secret struggles pastors face: masturbation. This episode explores:

Why masturbation often becomes a form of self-medication for anxiety, loneliness, or boredom.
How dopamine, secrecy, and the cycle of shame entangle leaders and believers alike.
Why this sin produces such deep shame — from breaking God’s design for intimacy, to grieving the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.
Six example stories (pastor, missionary, teenager, husband, pastor’s wife, and leader) that illustrate the real-world struggles many face.
The dangerous escalation from hidden habits into affairs — and how sin can spiral out of control.
A reference to Jon’s Crashing Lyrics song “Song For All Time” — which illustrates the theme of infidelity across decades — and the upcoming song on faithfulness.
Most importantly: how to stop in the “heat of the moment,” and why the path back to grace is the same for every believer — whether you’ve been free for a day or a thousand days.

Masturbation promises rest but delivers shame. Jesus promises rest and delivers peace.
You don’t need a secret elevator. You need the same Savior.

Shame is one of the heaviest burdens pastors and people in recovery carry. It whispers lies that we are our weakness, our mistakes, or our past. In this episode, Jon shares a very personal story about feeling shame while taking his medication — and how those feelings connect back to childhood wounds and moments of being belittled.

Through Scripture, reflection, and honest testimony, this episode reminds us that shame is not from God. Jesus not only carried our sin to the cross, but also our shame. You are not your weakness, you are not your burnout, and you are not your relapse. You are loved, forgiven, and free in Christ.

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon continues the trilogy on victimhood, spiritual abuse, and safe leadership.

Episode 53 explored the victim mentality—feeling like a victim when it’s not really abuse.
Episode 54 addressed spiritual abuse—what it looks like and how it harms pastors and church members.
And now, in Episode 55, Jon shares stories and reflections on safe leadership: how to recognize it, how to become it, and how to rebuild trust among God’s people.

Jon recalls the influence of his youth pastor, Bones, who modeled Christlike safety through presence, consistency, and love. He also shares a recent story from leading a family memorial service, where the Holy Spirit reminded him that safe leadership is not about performance but about pointing people to Jesus. Note: This episode was recorded while traveling, so you may hear some natural airport background noise during the recording. Safe leadership isn’t about perfection—it’s about being trustworthy, humble, and consistent, just like Jesus.

Spiritual abuse is one of the deepest wounds a pastor or church member can carry—because it comes wrapped in the name of God. In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond shares hard truths, survivor stories, statistics, and his own personal experience of being verbally and physically mistreated by a senior pastor. This is not about attacking organizations. Jon makes it clear—he has loved and served alongside many good people in ministries like Teen Challenge and the Assemblies of God. But within even good organizations, abuse can and does happen. And it must be named. With Scripture as our foundation, we’ll look at what spiritual abuse is, why it hurts so deeply, how widespread it really is, and why healing—not revenge—is the pathway forward. For pastors who’ve been hurt, and for leaders who may need to blow the whistle, this is a call to face the truth, seek counseling, connect with recovery ministries, and rediscover the heart of the Good Shepherd who never abuses His sheep.

Have you ever felt overlooked, passed over, or rejected — certain you were the right one for the opportunity, but someone else got it? In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond shares four personal stories of moments he felt like a victim… only to realize later that God had a different race marked out for him.

From faking a fall in a junior high cross-country race to being passed over for ministry roles and church jobs, Jon explores what’s really going on inside our hearts when we feel “not chosen.” These moments often trace back to childhood hurts, old rejections, and the insecurities that still whisper to us today. You’ll learn how to recognize the victim mindset, replace it with God’s truth, and run your race — not for the applause of people, but for the glory of God.

Plus, Jon teases next week’s episode, where he’ll tackle the difficult but necessary topic of spiritual abuse — what it is, what it isn’t, and how to begin healing.

I didn’t mean to make a series… but God had other plans. This is part three of an unexpected journey that started on a beach in San Diego and led straight into the heart of striving, identity, and grace.

In this episode, I open up about a powerful realization I’ve been working through in therapy—the fantasy of the “perfect girl.” From sitcoms like Love, American Style, Happy Days, The Wonder Years, and Family Ties, to my own childhood crushes on Marcia Brady and Mallory Keaton, I share how media shaped my ideas about love, marriage, and myself. We explore how these expectations became a cycle of pursuit:

Chasing the ideal.
Getting let down.
Chasing harder.

Missing what’s right in front of us. With stories, scripture, and three fictional-but-relatable scenarios, this episode invites you to surrender the fantasy and embrace real grace. The kind that doesn’t wait for perfection—just presence. This is Episode 3 in the mini-series:

Feeling rejected by your church, your mission field, or the people you’ve poured your heart into can leave deep wounds. In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon shares stories, scriptures, and practical steps to help pastors and missionaries navigate the pain of rejection and discover hope, identity, and healing in Christ. We’ll explore what Christian therapists say about rejection, what Celebrate Recovery teaches about rejection in the 12 Steps and 8 Principles, and why “you only heal what you reveal.”

If you’re feeling unseen, undervalued, or alone in ministry, this episode is for you. Take it one day at a time. God sees you, loves you, and has not forgotten you.

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond reflects on a soul-refreshing weekend with his lifelong friends—Tom, Chuck, and Andy—(and Scott who could'nt make it) known collectively as the Moto Dudes.

What starts as a getaway to Lincoln City becomes a powerful look at shifting ambitions, family legacy, and the unshakable bonds of brotherhood. From walking the beach at dawn to rediscovering purpose through fatherhood, Jon shares how surrender, presence, and Scripture weave together in this season of life. Along the way, you’ll hear real stories, real faith, and real encouragement for pastors learning to let go of ego and lean into what matters most.

This episode is a real-time reflection on my trip to see my 95-year-old dad and reunite with four of my closest friends—brothers I’ve known for over 40 years. We're heading to the Oregon coast, sharing memories, taking our traditional photo, and putting each other on the “hot seat” to talk honestly about life, faith, and family.

If you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or in recovery—this one’s for you. We dive into the power of presence, why isolating is dangerous, and how friendship and family are two of God’s greatest tools for healing.

Does God really need my performance to change lives?
Am I trying to serve… or trying to control?
Is it the Holy Spirit moving… or just my ego in disguise?

If you’re a pastor or ministry leader struggling to surrender what you think God needs from you, this one’s for you.

🎵 Also includes the debut of a new original worship song written from this experience: "When I Get Out of the Way" — a Casting Crowns–inspired reminder that grace flows better when we let go.

In this heartfelt episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon gets real about something foundational to recovery but often overlooked—prayer. If we aren’t talking to God, we aren’t truly walking in recovery. Jon shares how prayer isn’t always easy, especially when life gets loud, distractions take over, or doubt creeps in.

Through raw honesty and personal stories—including a powerful moment in traffic and a breakthrough with his granddaughter Auri—Jon reminds us that even when we don’t feel like praying, God still draws near. Sometimes the greatest prayer we can pray is:
“God, I want to want You.”

This episode invites pastors and leaders back to that sacred space—not just of speaking, but of listening, waiting, and reconnecting with the only One who truly heals.

🛑 Are you feeling spiritually dry?
🛣️ Are you stuck in the cycle of medicating pain?
🙏 Do you just need a spark to get back into prayer? Then this one is for you.

In this follow-up to last week’s raw and honest episode, Jon Hammond shares the next chapter of his journey—returning from London, Ontario, and facing the realities of pain, weakness, and spiritual fatigue.

With transparency and grace, Jon opens up about his health struggles, the weight of shame and regret, and the flicker of joy that still remains deep in his soul. Drawing from Psalm 51 and 1 John 1:9, this episode is an encouragement for pastors and leaders to stop ignoring the warning lights—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—and to take real steps toward restoration.

If you’re a ministry leader who feels tired, unseen, or out of balance, this message is for you. His power is still made perfect in your weakness. There’s joy ahead. Let’s walk this road together.

In this deeply personal episode, Jon shares raw reflections from a 4,000-mile journey between Arizona and London, Ontario—unpacking the emotional, relational, and spiritual lessons that surfaced along the way.

Through tense moments in the car, painful goodbyes, feelings of spiritual dryness, and the unexpected beauty of others stepping up—Jon invites us into the sacred mess of real life. This is a story about control, surrender, and discovering grace in the most unexpected places. You’ll hear how God used a quiet room, a broken goodbye, a daughter’s gratitude, and a young man’s need for a father to remind Jon of the power of presence—even when God feels far away.

If you've ever felt spiritually dry, emotionally spent, or unsure where God is in the middle of your giving... this episode is for you.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today,' so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness." – Hebrews 3:13

In this episode, I share a story that changed me—a poem from a girl in college. She described a well-dressed man walking through a beautiful field. He saw the wildflowers, the color, the splendor—but then, for some reason, he stopped… and pulled up a dandelion. She wrote, “I am that dandelion. Why did you even notice me?”

That moment pierced my heart, because that’s how God sees us—the broken, the overlooked, the ones others pass by. He stops. He reaches. He lifts us up.

But here’s the truth: when sin’s deceitfulness hardens our hearts, we stop seeing dandelions. We stop reaching for the hurting. That’s the enemy’s weapon—distraction, isolation, numbness. But Hebrews 3:13 is God’s counterattack. Daily encouragement softens the heart and sharpens our vision. It keeps us grounded, connected, and open to those divine interruptions.

In this honest and grace-filled episode, Jon explores the many leadership styles found in the world today—authoritarian, populist, perfectionist, servant, visionary—and draws powerful comparisons to the perfectly balanced leadership of Christ. But more than a leadership study, this episode dives deep into the reality that many pastors in recovery face: we fall short. We hide. We cope. We perform instead of healing. And yet, Jesus still calls us—not to perfection, but to follow Him in humility and authenticity.

If you’ve ever felt like a failure for not being “more like Jesus,” this episode is for you. Let’s talk about real recovery, real leadership, and the beautiful truth that your scars don’t disqualify you—they equip you to lead with grace.

Church planting can be one of the hardest journeys a pastor takes—and if you’re in recovery, it can reveal deep struggles you didn’t even know were there.

In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, I share my personal experience of planting two churches that didn’t survive. The pain of failure, the wounds of rejection, and the struggle of feeling like I had nothing left to give—these are the raw realities many pastors face but rarely talk about.

But here’s what I’ve learned: God isn’t done with you when you fail. If church planting broke you, if ministry crushed your spirit, if you’re wrestling with your identity and recovery, this episode is for you.

Join me as I unpack seven hard-earned lessons that connect church planting and recovery, from letting go of ego and building a healthy team, to prioritizing family, breaking through denominational barriers, and learning to serve without seeking recognition.

If you’ve felt the sting of burnout, disappointment, or failure in ministry, you are not alone. Let’s talk about healing, humility, and finding purpose in brokenness.

What happens when the title of “Pastor” fades away?
When your kids grow up and leave home?
When the structure that held your life together suddenly disappears?

For many pastors and leaders, this transition can be unexpectedly difficult—leading to identity struggles, loneliness, and even relapse triggers in recovery.

💬 In this episode, we tackle:
✅ The Identity Shift – Who am I without ministry or parenting as my core role?
✅ The Empty Nest – The emotional impact of kids moving out and how it affects us.

What happens when the title of “Pastor” fades away?
When your kids grow up and leave home?
When the structure that held your life together suddenly disappears?

For many pastors and leaders, this transition can be unexpectedly difficult—leading to identity struggles, loneliness, and even relapse triggers in recovery.

💬 In this episode, we tackle:
✅ The Identity Shift – Who am I without ministry or parenting as my core role?
✅ The Empty Nest – The emotional impact of kids moving out and how it affects us.
✅ Recovery in Transition – Why these moments can be a danger zone for old habits.
✅ Finding Purpose Again – How to step into a new season with hope and direction.

🚨 If you’re struggling with this transition, you are not alone. Your calling hasn’t retired—just your job title. God still has more for you in this next chapter.

In this heartfelt episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond shares his deeply personal journey of rediscovering identity after stepping away from ministry. He candidly explores the emotional struggle of losing a role that defined him, peeling back layers of anger, control, and comparison to embrace the person God uniquely created him to be.

Through Scripture, practical steps, and reflections on his recovery, Jon offers hope and encouragement to pastors and ministry leaders who feel lost or disconnected.

This episode is a testament to God’s unchanging love and the freedom found in letting Him shape your identity.

For most of us, when we are honest about how isolated we actually are from others and we realize that we do not have anyone in our life that we can share deep things with; all of our hurts, hang-ups and habits, then we most likely need a pastors in recovery group.
