Episode 82 - TSP | Part 8 - Trusting That You Will Make All Things Right

In Episode 82 of the Pastors in Recovery Podcast, we continue our Serenity Prayer series by exploring the line: “Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will.”

When many of us think about the will of God, we often focus on the big life questions—career, ministry opportunities, relationships, and the direction of our future. But the will of God is not only something we try to discover in the future. Much of it has already been revealed to us through the Word of God.

In this episode we talk about how God guides our lives through Scripture, prayer, the voice of the Holy Spirit, and the wisdom of others. Sometimes the answer we are searching for is not something new at all—it is returning to the last thing God already asked us to do. We also look at the story in 2 Kings 6, where Elisha asks a simple but profound question when the axe head falls into the water: “Where did it fall?” Before anything could be restored, they had to go back to where it was lost. In the same way, God often calls us back to obedience in the place where we first began.

Jon shares a personal story from his early years in youth ministry when discouragement and financial pressure made it tempting to move on to something bigger. Instead, he chose to stay—walking with the same group of students from junior high through graduation. Years later many of those students reached out, sharing how that consistency shaped their faith. Sometimes surrendering to God’s will doesn’t mean moving on to something new. Sometimes it means staying faithful to what God has already placed in front of us.

This episode also features an original song written for this message: “What If I Stay?” A reflection on the struggle pastors face when ministry becomes difficult and the quiet decision to surrender to God’s will rather than run toward greener pastures.
