Episode 108 - I Think I Am Secretly Selfish | + Original Song "Secret Agent Self"

Episode 108 — I Think I’m Secretly SelfishI think I’m secretly selfish.That may sound strange coming from someone who has spent decades in ministry, raised a family, adopted three children, and is still parenting at 63. But lately I’ve been paying attention to what happens inside me when I’m tired, hurting, inconvenienced, or simply running low on energy.When is “I don’t want to do this” selfishness—and when is it an honest recognition that I’m depleted?In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, I talk about missed school buses, limited “spoons,” an unexpected drive for my wife, old wounds, healthy boundaries, and the Serenity Prayer’s difficult challenge: the wisdom to know the difference.We’ll also look at why self-awareness matters so much in recovery—and what can happen when a perfectly legitimate need quietly turns into something else. Because sometimes the most dangerous voice inside us doesn’t sound selfish at all.It sounds reasonable.And stay through the end for this episode’s original song, “Secret Agent Self."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support. Connect :🌐 www.pastorsinrecovery.com🌐Facebook.com/pastorsinrecovery📧 pastorsinrecovery@gmail.comFind 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.
