Pastors’ Hangover

God’s Not Punishing You, He’s Preparing You

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.

The Sneakiest Sin: Partial Obedience

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.

Halloween, Worship, and the Power Behind What You Praise

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?

Does God Pick Who Gets Into Heaven?

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.

The Doubts Christians Pretend They Don’t Have

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.

Unshaken Faith in a Broken World

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.

How to Mourn, Heal, and Love in a Broken World

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.

The Parts of the Bible Nobody Wants to Talk About

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.

The Most Misunderstood Part of Prayer

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.

What The Devil Doesn’t Want You To Know

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.
