What exactly has God promised us… and what expectations have we created on our own? This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, the team unpacks one of the most misunderstood areas of Christian faith: the promises of God.

How do you keep the peace when family, faith, politics, and old wounds all show up at the same table?

The altar changes your heart. The table changes your habits. Most of us love the altar moments — the prayers, the worship, the goosebumps.

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.

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?
