Jesus Isn’t Your Life Coach

from Pastors’ Hangover · host Pastors’ Hangover

If Jesus is TRULY King… then everything changes. In this episode of The Pastors’ Hangover, the team dives into one of the most challenging tensions in following Jesus: we love Him as Savior, we admire Him as a teacher—but what does it actually mean to live under His authority as King? Because the truth is, admiration is easy. Obedience is where it gets real. We talk about why so many Christians settle for a “life coach Jesus” instead of surrendering to King Jesus, and what it reveals about our desire to stay in control. From our decisions and relationships to our money, identity, and influence—if Jesus is truly King, nothing is off-limits. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just a theology conversation—it’s a life decision. Jesus didn’t come to be admired. He came to be obeyed. And when His authority is settled, your mission finally makes sense.

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
