Episode 90 - Called… But Not Ready YetWhat happens when someone feels genuinely called by God… but they’re not fully ready yet?In Episode 90 of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond talks honestly about one of the most difficult balancing acts pastors face: encouraging people in their calling while also protecting the church through wisdom, discernment, and healthy leadership boundaries. Drawing from personal experiences in Bible college, early ministry opportunities, painful leadership betrayals, and lessons learned the hard way, Jon explores the difference between charisma and character, gifting and grounding, passion and preparation. This episode dives into:why calling and readiness are not always the same thingthe danger of releasing leaders too quicklyhow wounded pastors can swing toward control or unhealthy trustwhy healthy churches require both grace and discernmenthow leaders like Tommy Barnett and Rick Warren modeled healthy delegation and developmentand why pastors must seek God’s wisdom and trusted counsel when making leadership decisionsMost importantly, this episode reminds us that God often calls people long before He finishes shaping them. Because healthy pastors grow healthy churches.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support. Connect :🌐 www.pastorsinrecovery.com🌐Facebook.com/pastorsinrecovery📧 [email protected] the Podcast:▶️ Youtube.com/@pastorsinrecovery 🟢 Spotify and Apple Music (and all major streaming platforms) search for Pastors in RecoveryPodcast Music:🟢 Spotify and Apple Music (and all major streaming platforms) under Crashing Lyrics▶️ Youtube.com/@crashinglyrics -> Pastors in Recovery Playlist This episode includes AI-generated content.
