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.

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.

Mental health isn’t just emotional—it’s deeply spiritual. In this episode, we explore the hidden burdens people carry, and how many of us are emotionally “moving boxes” on our own. We talk about the spiritual roots of anxiety and fear—tracing all the way back to the Garden of Eden—and why surrendering to God can feel so hard when self-reliance feels safer. We dive into the three common temptations that derail our faith: despair (“I’ll never measure up”), immorality (chasing success or comfort instead of God), and morality (trying to earn our way to God without Him). If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, stuck in anxiety, or alone in your mental health struggles, this episode is for you. You are not alone—and there is hope when you stop climbing and start surrendering.

We all carry things no one else sees—emotional baggage, silent struggles, and anxiety we try to manage alone. But what happens when the weight gets too heavy?
This week on Pastors Hangover, we dive into the unseen burdens people are moving every day and why loneliness has become the norm, not the exception.
Questions addressed: Can I love Jesus and still battle anxiety? What’s the difference between worry and a real mental health crisis? How can I identify the invisible burdens in my life.
We also unpack how COVID changed the way people connect (or don’t), why 88% of people struggling with anxiety don’t actually need medical treatment, but better life rhythms, and how faith plays a role in managing our mental and emotional health.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Easter Hangover... What do you do when the miracle hasn't come yet and the tomb is still sealed? Dive into the silence of Silent Saturday—the day between the agony of the cross and the triumph of the resurrection. It's the space where grief, doubt, and hope collide.
We ask the hard questions: Why doesn’t God always speak when we need Him most? How do you hold onto faith when your prayers seem to echo into silence? And what if your life feels like a never-ending Saturday—waiting, wondering, wrestling? Join us as we talk about what God might be doing in the quiet, how to stay grounded in the in-between, and why the silence doesn’t mean He’s gone.
This one’s for anyone who has ever felt stuck between heartbreak and healing, or faith and fear.

What if rejection wasn’t a roadblock, but a refining fire? In this episode of Pastors’ Hangover, we dive into the uncomfortable but powerful reality that rejection isn’t the end of your calling—it might just be the beginning of deeper faith. From missed invitations to hard conversations, we unpack why being bold in your belief means risking a “no” and why every “no” can strengthen your “yes” to God. Whether you’ve been ghosted, ignored, or shut down, this one reminds you: your faith isn’t fragile—it’s being forged.

On this week’s Pastors Hangover, we dive into the God who fights for the lost, the found, and even the Karens. We explore the powerful lessons from the parable of the prodigal son and how Jesus always stands in the gap, fighting for those who need grace the most. Love isn’t just about welcoming the return of the lost; it’s about actively pursuing them when they wander.
But when is it time to chase the lost and when do we wait? How do we respond when our outreach doesn’t seem to get a response? Plus, we tackle the use of modern terms like "Karen" in the pulpit—does it add value to the message, or distract from the truth?
We also address a hot topic: the controversial story in John 8. Is it truly biblical, or should it be questioned? If you're grappling with forgiveness, evangelism, or how to love in a broken world, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

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.

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.
