Pastors’ Hangover

Should Pastors Be Rich? Let’s Talk About It

Money and faith—two topics that make people uncomfortable, especially when they collide. Should Christians pursue wealth, or does God want us to live simply? And what about pastors—should they be driving luxury cars or living paycheck to paycheck? In this episode of The Pastors Hangover, we tackle the tough questions: Is tithing still relevant if the Old Testament law was fulfilled? Do flashy, wealthy pastors hurt the church’s reputation? And when it comes to trusting God, is it harder when you have nothing or when you have everything? Let’s have the conversation no one wants to have—but everyone needs to.

Is God Against Wealth? Should Christians Be Poor?

Is God against wealth? Should Christians embrace poverty to be truly faithful? The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil—but does that mean having money is wrong? In this episode, we wrestle with the tough questions about faith and finances:
Is giving 2% the same as giving 10% of the tithe?
What does the Bible say about taxes and redistribution of wealth?
Will the poor always be among us?
Who is supposed to take care of the poor?
Let’s get real about the tension between faith, finances, and the fear of getting it wrong. Don’t miss this one!

Does Baptism Save You? What the Bible Really Says

Let’s DEEP dive into one of the most debated questions in Christianity: Does baptism save you? We’ll explore why different denominations view baptism so differently and unpack the scriptures like Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, and Matthew 28:19. Is infant baptism enough, or is personal belief the key? 
 
We also look at what it means to be "born of water and the Spirit" and whether being baptized without truly understanding its significance has any bearing on salvation. Tune in for clarity on a topic that can leave many questioning what the Bible really says.
