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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.   RESOURCE LINKS Frank Rich: Mens programs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich Podcast: https://pod.link/1719651103 Website: https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage Free 7 Day Porn Reset: https://www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset Community with Free trial: https://www.skool.com/rebootyourlife/about?ref=9e382d8ab435422a849ece729a7746fa   Jolene Winn: Works with women whose husbands are walking through recovery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jolenewinncoaching/ Betrayal Course: https://courses.jolenewinn.com/go-forward-sales-page Mason Cain: Programs for both women and men www.unchainedleader.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/official_masoncain/

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. 🎶 There Is More by Daryl Black: https://youtu.be/0iNIwB4VT4I?feature=shared

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.

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.

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.

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, 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. Last Weekend’s Message: https://youtu.be/dpNXmOHqlSs In This Episode:Daryl BlackChris BonhamHal MayerMelissa Vicinanza

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.   Last Weekend's Message: https://youtu.be/CQ3dZ7IIjgw?si=pXEP6f_Clh59lPvd   In this Episode: Kristin Bonham Daryl Black Hal Mayer Melissa Vicinanza   ABOUT GRACE FAMILY CHURCH Grace Family Church is a nondenominational, Bible-based church in Tampa, Florida.

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.
