About this episode
Episode 38 - Prayer and Recovery: The Third Option
In this heartfelt episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon gets real about something foundational to recovery but often overlooked—prayer. If we aren’t talking to God, we aren’t truly walking in recovery. Jon shares how prayer isn’t always easy, especially when life gets loud, distractions take over, or doubt creeps in.
Through raw honesty and personal stories—including a powerful moment in traffic and a breakthrough with his granddaughter Auri—Jon reminds us that even when we don’t feel like praying, God still draws near. Sometimes the greatest prayer we can pray is:
“God, I want to want You.”
This episode invites pastors and leaders back to that sacred space—not just of speaking, but of listening, waiting, and reconnecting with the only One who truly heals.
🛑 Are you feeling spiritually dry?
🛣️ Are you stuck in the cycle of medicating pain?
🙏 Do you just need a spark to get back into prayer? Then this one is for you.
