Episode 51 - When Passion Becomes Obsession - Discerning the Fire God Gave Us
In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond shares a deeply personal story about chasing the dream of a finished backyard — and how even good desires can quietly become obsessions. Drawing from his own recovery and pastoral experience, Jon explores the difference between passion and obsession, what happens when our identity gets tied to getting things done, and how God invites us to rest, surrender, and rediscover that our worth isn’t in our work. With Scripture, reflection questions, and a vulnerable moment about health limitations, Jon invites pastors and ministry leaders to pause, breathe, and remember:
🔥 “The job won’t love you back. But God will.”
Whether you’re feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or simply caught up in all the doing… this episode is for you.
