Help for Pastors & First Responders
If you are a pastor struggling with issues, addiction or immoral behavior, you’re not alone and there is hope and help for you. These strongholds are very real, definitely not uncommon amongst clergy, and can be seriously damaging if not properly dealt with. Just as there are clear reasons for unhealthy behavior, there is also an absolute solution, a pathway to true freedom. I have assessed, assisted and witnessed thousands of lives forever changed by dealing with the root causes of their problems through the powerful transforming hand of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Jehovah Rapha, the Great Physician, and the only One able to truly expose, disclose, dispose of, and heal the damages caused by deeply rooted contributors.

Kneeling with the Brethren
Kneeling with, and helping kingdom soldiers, brothers and sisters who have stumbled is not only my calling but a passion as well. Finding good, safe, confidential and effective help for pastors is typically not easy. But as a pastor myself that struggled with many issues for many years, I’m very familiar with the struggles clergy face and also very familiar with the pathway to freedom. A pastor coming under spiritual attack is not uncommon. Quite the contrary, pastors in need of help are much more common than one would think. They have the same human struggle’s others have but, in most cases, are under more of a attack than the average person with less available resources for obvious reasons. Who can they tell without jeopardizing their position or possibly losing it? Remember, fear, shame, guilt, and condemnation are not of God. Satan tempts, and when sin is conceived, he quickly accuses, shames and guilts. Jesus says, just come to me and I will clean you up. There are tangible reasons why people struggle, and when properly dealt with, the enemy loses his grip and freedom prevails.
Will anyone find out about my struggles?
Not unless you tell them. Anyone entering treatment is protected from public knowledge. Pastors can enjoy the anonymous safeguard they deserve. Many approach and convey their treatment experience as a sabbatical, an equipping, a time away to learn about spiritual warfare and the Biblical solution. Over the years, we’ve witnessed many pastors find freedom and restoration, and then utilize what they’ve learned to help others within their own congregation find freedom.
There is one that comes to steal, kill and destroy!
There are very few limits to Satan’s schemes and tactics and when a doorway is open, he will gladly enter and set up camp with a mission to destroy anything and everything he has access to. The immediate family (those closest) usually feel the initial brunt, but eventually it will affect all areas of life.
Who does a challenged pastor safely turn to for help?
The Biblical approach and secular approach are literally worlds apart. The instigator of the problem is spirit, and spiritual problems will never be properly resolved with a mere secular approach. Who can a pastor turn to without the possibility of losing the trust of his congregation, or even worse, be asked to step away from the pulpit? I have personally helped many pastors find true freedom and return to their position without disrupting, negatively effecting or upsetting their congregation. Most return with a better understanding and are able to utilize what they’ve learned to help other struggling members within their church find freedom as well.
What types of affliction are treated?
Anyone who understands rooted dynamics, knows who the real culprit is. Strongholds are real and any form of this behavior can be considered idolatry and not limited to sex, porn, food, drugs or alcohol. People, places and things fill this position. An idol is anything we are looking to get something from that can and should only come from God. Summed up, behaviors are not the problem, but become a biproduct of the problem when the underlying issues are not properly addressed and resolved. Again, Biblically speaking, idolatry is seeking to gain something (some form of escape, power or comfort, etc.) from a person, place or thing that should only be sought through the true Comforter, the Holy Spirit. The false comforts of any form of idolatry are temporal and are always followed with some form of pain and suffering. Someone will eventually pay the price. Many pastors struggle for years with strongholds that can go on behind closed doors. But a pastor with these afflictions, without question, will eventually be exposed. Satan uses these struggles to tear apart families, churches, and the body of Christ as a whole. He tempts, exposes, accuses, shames and guilts, but real effective help is available!
Can long-term freedom be achieved?
Absolutely! There are tangible reasons why people do what they do and there is an absolute solution available. We have what is known as cause and effect and most people are living within the effects of something initially caused by someone else. There is One that knows, the Great Physician, and He will uncover the root, expose it for what it is, dispose of it, and heal the wounds caused by it. Jesus said: So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:35). Take Him on His word! Don’t wait until the consequences take you down…. reach out today!
