We have a special guest in the studio, which means you already know this episode is going to be a wild mix of wisdom, honesty, and chaos. Pastor Craig, Pastor Hal, Pastor Daryl, and Melissa dive deep into one of the most challenging parts of following Jesus: serving — not just in church, but in our everyday relationships. This week, the pastors unpack your biggest questions from Pastor Daryl’s message in At the Table: What if I love Jesus but don’t feel called to serve in a ministry? What about burnout? Is it possible to serve too much? How do you serve with joy instead of exhaustion? How do I know if I’m serving humbly or just people-pleasing? Why is it so hard to let people help me? Why can I serve strangers easily… but struggle to serve my own family? Foot-washing in church — should we bring it back??   If you’ve ever wrestled with serving, struggled with burnout, or wondered why Jesus cared so much about towels and basins, this episode will challenge, encourage, and maybe even convict you (lovingly).   Pull up a chair. The table is ready. 🧼🦶✨

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we’re getting real about gratitude, not the Instagram version, not the “just be thankful!” clichés, but the kind of gratitude that collides with real-life stress, messy family dynamics, and the pressure to keep it all together over the holidays. We’re answering your toughest questions, including: How do I protect my kids from unsaved family members who drink, cuss, or bring an atmosphere I don’t want shaping my home? How does gratitude actually affect my mental health? Is it spiritual, emotional, or both? Where’s the line between healthy gratitude and toxic positivity? How do I stay thankful while still being honest about my pain, stress, or circumstances? Am I complaining… or just telling the truth about what happened? Can you be grateful AND set boundaries? Spoiler: yes. Very much yes. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “stay positive,” struggled to protect your peace during the holidays, or wondered how gratitude fits into emotional and spiritual health — this episode is for you. Raw conversation. Real questions. Practical wisdom.   Let’s get into it.

How do you keep the peace when family, faith, politics, and old wounds all show up at the same table? For a lot of us, the holidays feel less like a Hallmark movie and more like a spiritual endurance test. The conversations get tense, the emotions get heavy, and the people you love the most sometimes bring out the worst in you. In this episode of The Pastors’ Hangover, we dive straight into the messy, complicated reality of navigating conflict during the holiday season.

The altar changes your heart. The table changes your habits. Most of us love the altar moments — the prayers, the worship, the goosebumps. But what happens when the music stops and it’s just you, your dinner table, and the people God gave you? In this week’s Pastors’ Hangover, the pastors unpack why real transformation doesn’t happen under stage lights, but under the glow of your kitchen light.

The desert is where God builds you - The wilderness isn’t wasted. In this episode, the pastors talk about how to worship when life feels dry, how to trust when God feels silent, and what surrender really looks like in the middle of uncertainty.

Think you’re being obedient… but maybe not fully? How do you know if it’s a good thing or a God thing? In Episode 100 of The Pastor’s Hangover, the guys unpack the sneakiest sin — partial obedience. From 1 Samuel 15, they dive into how almost obeying God is still disobedience, how to tell if the Holy Spirit is really nudging you (or if it’s just your own voice), and what it looks like to lay everything on the altar.

In this week’s episode of The Pastors’ Hangover, the pastors dive deep into the power behind what you praise and how the enemy uses counterfeit worship to distract us from the real thing. From fog machines to Halloween costumes they cover it all! Before you close your eyes tonight, ask yourself one question—What did I worship today?

Who actually makes it to Heaven — and did God already decide?The pastors talk predestination, the 144,000, defending faith without the Bible, and Pastor Craig’s story about praying for his brother. This one might just change how you see eternity.

Is doubt the opposite of faith or can it actually make faith stronger? This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, Pastors Hal, Mike, and Jonathan dive deep into the reality of doubt and what it means for your walk with God. Too often, Christians are told to “just have faith” or to hide their questions. But the Bible is filled with men and women—Abraham, Sarah, Moses, David, Peter—who wrestled with doubt and still followed God. If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I still have faith if I doubt?”—this episode will encourage you to see that God is big enough for your questions, and He often uses them to draw you closer to Him.

Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people—and good things to happen to bad people? It’s one of the hardest and most asked questions in Christianity. This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, Pastors Hal and Daryl unpack what the Bible really says about pain, evil, and suffering. From the early church’s persecution to our modern struggles, we explore why suffering exists, how God uses it, and what it means for our faith today. If you’ve ever asked “Where is God when I’m hurting?” this conversation will encourage you to see that His grace is still sufficient—even when life doesn’t make sense.

When tragedy strikes, how should Christians respond? In this episode of The Pastors’ Hangover, Pastor Hal and Daryl talk honestly about the tension between faith, culture, and compassion. From national headlines to personal heartbreak, from social media outrage to real human pain, the question isn’t just what happened—it’s how do we respond as followers of Jesus? If you’ve wrestled with what to say—or not say—when the world is hurting, this conversation will help you process tragedy through the lens of Jesus’ compassion and truth.

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we’re wrestling with one of the biggest questions people have about faith: Can I really trust the Bible? What do we do with verses that feel outdated, offensive, or just hard to understand? From Old Testament laws to passages about women, slavery, and violence, we’re unpacking how to read Scripture when it doesn’t seem to line up with our culture—or even with our own sense of right and wrong. We dive into why context matters, how to tell the difference between what the Bible describes and what it prescribes, and why interpretation is more than “just your opinion.” Along the way, we talk about why the Bible still speaks with authority today, how to handle the tension between cultural questions and eternal truth, and why every page of Scripture is meant to lead us to Jesus. Whether you’ve been studying the Bible for years or are just starting to explore faith, this conversation will help you approach God’s Word with honesty, humility, and confidence. The Bible isn’t outdated or irrelevant—it’s an invitation to know God more deeply, even in the parts that challenge us most.

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we’re unpacking one of the most essential but often misunderstood parts of faith: prayer. If God already knows our thoughts, why pray at all? And what’s the difference between real, Spirit-led prayer and just going through the motions? We dive into the tension between ritual and relationship, how prayer moves from discipline to dialogue, and why God wants to be the center of our lives—not just the first box we check off in the morning. Along the way, we wrestle with questions of when to keep praying in faith versus when it’s time to step forward in obedience, why praying out loud actually matters, and how to make sense of the church’s differing views on praying in tongues. Whether you’ve been praying for decades or are just beginning, this conversation will challenge you to see prayer not as a duty, but as an invitation into intimacy with God.

This week on The Pastors Hangover, we’re continuing our deep dive into the supernatural—angels, demons, and spiritual warfare—but with a practical question: what does it really mean to “put on the armor of God”? If you’ve ever wondered whether Christians can be demon-possessed, or if you’ve felt the weight of spiritual opposition in your daily life, this conversation is for you. We talk about the difference between possession and influence, why the enemy prefers whispers over fireworks, and how subtle lies can spiral into full-on identity crises if we don’t guard our minds. What does it look like to take every thought captive? How do we walk in peace when life feels like stepping barefoot on Legos? And how do we actually wear the armor of God in a way that changes Monday morning, not just Sunday sermons? Join us as we unpack each piece of the armor—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—and discover why spiritual protection isn’t just about defense, but about living with confidence in Christ every single day.

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we’re talking about one of the most misunderstood topics in the church: spiritual warfare. From blaming every inconvenience on the devil to ignoring the unseen battle altogether, Christians often miss the balance. So what’s real—and what’s just life? We dig into how to recognize true spiritual warfare, why it’s not always about demons and darkness, and how everyday struggles can actually shape our faith. What’s the difference between temptation and attack? How do you stay alert without living in fear? And most importantly—how do we keep Jesus at the center instead of giving the enemy too much credit? Join us as we uncover the truth about spiritual warfare and why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do… is just fix your flat tire.

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we’re stepping into the unseen realm—the world of angels. Pastors Hal and Daryl unpack what the Bible actually says about these supernatural beings, separating scripture from Hollywood and folklore. Do we each have a guardian angel? Can you talk to angels? And why do they sometimes look so terrifying in the Bible? We tackle the myths, the misconceptions, and the dangers of putting our hope in anything—or anyone—other than God. You’ll hear personal stories of angelic encounters, honest conversations about why we might not experience the supernatural as often, and the importance of keeping God at the center of it all. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or fascinated by the supernatural, this episode will challenge what you think you know and inspire you to see God’s power in a whole new light.

This week on The Pastor’s Hangover, we tackle a difficult but necessary conversation—pornography and the addiction behind it. Guests Mason Kane and Frank Rich share their powerful stories of pain, secrecy, and ultimately freedom, revealing how God can use even our darkest struggles for purpose. We explore how porn addiction is often rooted in trauma, identity confusion, and emotional escape—and why spiritual practices alone aren’t enough to break free. Healing requires facing the truth, renewing the mind, and walking in community. For parents, we talk about how to start honest, age-appropriate conversations early. And for spouses, we offer hope, clarity, and next steps if your partner is struggling. This episode is raw, real, and filled with hope. You are not alone—and freedom is possible.   RESOURCE LINKS Frank Rich: Mens programs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich Podcast: https://pod.link/1719651103 Website: https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage Free 7 Day Porn Reset: https://www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset Community with Free trial: https://www.skool.com/rebootyourlife/about?ref=9e382d8ab435422a849ece729a7746fa   Jolene Winn: Works with women whose husbands are walking through recovery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jolenewinncoaching/ Betrayal Course: https://courses.jolenewinn.com/go-forward-sales-page Mason Cain: Programs for both women and men www.unchainedleader.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/official_masoncain/

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we flip the script—literally. Pastor Daryl Black gives up the mic and hands it to his three daughters for a candid, unscripted conversation about what it’s really like being a pastor’s kid. From awkward church moments to the expectations that come with their dad’s role, the girls get real about faith, family, and the things their dad says that drive them crazy. We talk about authenticity, identity, and how spiritual life plays out in the everyday chaos of a pastor’s home. And maybe most importantly: what it looks like to lead a family with grace and laughter. 🎶 There Is More by Daryl Black: https://youtu.be/0iNIwB4VT4I?feature=shared

This week on The Pastors' Hangover, we tackle one of the most common (and misunderstood) questions in the Christian life: “Where’s the line?” Whether it’s alcohol, marijuana, dating, or male-female friendships, we often want to know how close we can get to the edge without falling off. But is that the right question? In this candid conversation, Pastors Hal and Pastor Daryl unpack why “where’s the line?” can be a dangerous mindset and how it reveals deeper issues in our faith walk. Together, we explore what it means to pursue holiness over compromise, how to rethink boundaries in relationships, and why chasing the heart of God leads to freedom—not legalism. If you’ve ever wrestled with gray areas in your faith, this episode will challenge and encourage you to step away from the edge and into a life fully surrendered to Christ.

This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, we’re diving into a topic that’s stirred a lot of curiosity—and controversy: Biblical masculinity. What does it really mean to be a man of God in today’s culture? Pastor Daryl joins us fresh off a Father’s Day message as we unpack what Scripture actually says about manhood, emotion, strength, and identity—and what it doesn’t say. We talk about the myths we’ve accepted from culture, the difference between physical strength and spiritual strength, and the tension men face between being tough and being tender. If you've ever wrestled with the pressure to “man up” or wondered how to lead with both conviction and compassion, this episode is for you. Join us as we challenge stereotypes, explore healthy masculinity, and look at how men can walk in freedom—not just expectations.
