| 6/24/26 | ![]() Episode 96 - Come Apart Before You Come Apart | + Original Song "Ready to Get Back" | Episode 96 — Come Apart Before You Come ApartMany pastors know they need rest, but not every pastor can take a sabbatical or a week-long retreat. Some are bivocational. Some are raising families. Some are using their vacation time for family trips. So what do we do when life and ministry keep demanding more of us?In this episode, Jon talks about the importance of intentionally getting away for a few hours, a day, or a couple of days to spend time with God. Drawing from personal experiences hiking Poston Butte and preparing for a quiet camping retreat near Prescott, Arizona, he shares how solitude, prayer, journaling, and simply slowing down can help restore a weary soul.This episode is not about escaping responsibility. It's about creating space to reconnect with the God who gives us life so we can be ready to return to the life He has given us.If you've been running on fumes, feeling spiritually dry, or simply need permission to slow down, this conversation is for you.Scripture:Mark 6:31Psalm 23Remember: We don't wait for disaster before we start paying attention. We build healthy habits before we need them.Because the goal isn't to get away from life.The goal is to reconnect with the God who gives us life...So we can be ready to get back to the life God gave us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Episode 95 - Look How Far You've Come | + Original Song "Hitherto" | Episode 95 - Look How Far You've ComeRecovery 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.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support.

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?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?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support.

| 2/4/26 | ![]() Episode 76 - TSP | Part 2 - Accept the Things I Can Not Change + Original Song "When God is First" | Episode 76 - The Serenity Prayer | Part 2 + Original Song "When God is First"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.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support.

| 1/28/26 | ![]() Episode 75 - TSP | Part 1 - God, Grant Me the Serenity + Featuring "The Serenity Prayer" | Episode 75 - The Serenity Prayer | Part 1 + Featuring the song "The Serenity Prayer"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.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support.

| 1/21/26 | ![]() Episode 74 - The Twelve Steps Recap | Recovery as a Lifelong Practice | Episode 74 — The Twelve Steps Recap | Recovery as a Lifelong PracticeThis 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. You live it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support.

| 1/14/26 | ![]() Episode 73 - STEP TWELVE | From Recovery to Responsibility + Original Song "Just Passing the Light" | Episode 73 — STEP TWELVE | From Recovery to Responsibility – Carrying Hope Without Ego 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 controlWhy pastors are tempted to become fixers instead of fellow travelersHow ego can hide inside good intentions and spiritual languageWhat it really looks like to practice Step Twelve in daily lifeWhy giving back is about availability, not platformsJon 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.

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 ithow constant noise and digital distraction make listening to God difficultthe difference between prayer as speaking and meditation as staying presentwhy God’s voice often feels quiet—not because He’s absent, but because our lives are fullThis 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.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support.
