Episode 106 - The Pastor Who Never Gets Caught | + Drama

Episode 106 - The Pastor Who Never Gets CaughtWhat if you never get caught? Nobody finds the browser history. Nobody sees the messages. Nobody smells the alcohol. Your congregation still respects you. Your family still trusts you. You still preach on Sunday morning. But are you doing well because God has changed your heart—or have you just gotten really good at not getting caught? In Episode 106 of Pastors in Recovery, we look at Paul’s surprising words in Colossians 2:20–23: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” Paul warns that religious rules and self-imposed discipline can have the appearance of wisdom while lacking the power to transform the desires underneath our behavior. Boundaries matter. Saying “no” matters. Consequences can keep us from making decisions we would deeply regret. But recovery has to go deeper. We’ll look back at the progression of Episodes 101–105, revisit the familiar 1980s message “Just Say No,” and hear a special audio drama showing how a pastor’s vulnerability—or lack of it—can affect struggling people sitting in the pews. The question isn't simply, “Did I cross the boundary?” It's also: “What would I choose if I knew nobody would ever find out?” Because recovery isn't simply learning how to say no. Recovery is allowing Jesus to change the heart that keeps wanting to say yes.
