Pastors in Recovery · Resources
Short audio moments. Honest conversations. Practical encouragement for pastors and ministry teams.
These discussion guides are designed for recovery groups, pastoral peer gatherings, church staff meetings, ministry teams, and one-on-one conversations. Choose a short segment from a Pastors in Recovery episode, listen together, and use the questions to begin your own conversation. No formal curriculum or special preparation is needed.
Use one segment in a weekly meeting, revisit a theme monthly, or bring a few segments into a quarterly retreat. Let the discussion serve your people—not the other way around.
A good discussion welcomes honest reflection without pressuring anyone to disclose private struggles. Agree on respectful boundaries and confidentiality, recognizing that safety and reporting obligations still apply.
