Pastors’ Hangover

Are You Giving the Devil Too Much Credit?

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.

The Truth About Angels—And the Myths We Believe

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.

Breaking Free from Porn: Real Stories, Real Healing

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.

Growing Up Black

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.

How Far Is Too Far? Let’s Talk.

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.

Be A Man: Understanding Biblical Masculinity

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.

Deconstruction: Let’s Break It Down

Deconstructing has become a hot topic… but what does it actually mean?
In this episode, we’re talking about why so many people, especially young adults and college students, are rethinking Christianity. Is deconstruction a helpful process or a slippery slope?
Pastor Daryl shares a personal story about how he handled it when a church leader let him down, and we get real about how parents can respond when their kids start asking hard questions.
We dive into the role of church hurt, spiritual trauma, sin, and confusion when it comes to losing faith or rebuilding it. We also talk through how to have honest, respectful conversations with someone who says they’re deconstructing. Whether you’re going through a faith crisis or walking with someone who is, this episode is for you.

Letting Go: Leadership Lessons from Moses and Jethro

This week on The Pastors Hangover, we dive into the often-overlooked wisdom of Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, who shows up at just the right moment with the leadership lesson Moses needs: You can’t do it all.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your responsibilities at home, at work, in ministry, or just in life this conversation is for you.We talk about the dangers of trying to lead every parade, the weight of self-imposed stress, and how control can quietly rob us of peace. What does healthy delegation look like?
How do you know when to release something, and when to hold on? And how do you keep God at the center of your life instead of just another task on your checklist?
Join us as we explore the tension between obedience and burnout and why letting go may be the most spiritual thing a leader can do.

Trauma: How Do I Break Free From This?

Trauma, Trauma Dumping, and Trauma Drama.. Let’s roll
Trauma doesn't always look like what we expect—and for many of us, it’s something we carry quietly for years. In this episode of The Pastors Hangover, we dive into the complex layers of trauma, asking honest questions like: Where does it come from? Is it inherited, learned, or the result of spiritual attack? How do strongholds form in our minds and hearts—and more importantly, how do we begin to break free from them?
Pastors explore how negative thought patterns can become prisons we live in without realizing it, and what it looks like to confront those patterns with honesty, faith, and practical tools. If you’ve ever struggled with lingering pain from your past, or you feel stuck in cycles you can’t explain, this episode offers hope, healing, and a reminder: you don’t have to stay stuck. Freedom is possible.

Mary and Martha Deep Dive

This week on The Pastors Hangover, we’re diving deep into the story of Mary and Martha—and what it reveals about our own lives, especially in seasons of waiting, striving, and motherhood.
Is it better to be serving or sitting? What does “resting at Jesus’ feet” look like when there’s laundry to fold and dishes to do? We talk about the emotional weight many moms carry, including mom guilt, and how to find peace when you feel stretched thin. Pastor Daryl also shares why “Motherhood is a ministry,” how to reframe guilt into grace, and how Mary’s posture in the Lazarus story still speaks to us today.
We even ask the big questions like: What qualifies a kid as raggedy? and Do you have to wait until Jesus leaves the house to do the dishes? Whether you're in a season of pressure or pause—this one’s for you.
