EP 64 - Recovery Starts When You Stop Fighting | Daryl Dittmer

EP 65 - The Danger of Putting People on Pedestals

One of the quickest ways to get hurt is expecting people to carry weight they were never designed to carry. In this solo episode of UNMASKED, Wesley Farnsworth explores why we put pastors, leaders, mentors, authors, parents, and even ourselves on pedestals—and why those expectations often lead to disappointment, burnout, and shaken faith. Through biblical examples and practical reflection, this conversation challenges listeners to stop chasing perfection and start embracing humanity. In this episode: • Why admiration often turns into unrealistic expectations • The hidden pressure leaders carry • How biblical heroes were deeply flawed people • Why perfection is a burden nobody can sustain • The difference between healthy honor and unhealthy dependence Website: https://www.wesleyfarnsworth.com [https://www.wesleyfarnsworth.com] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnmaskedWFPodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/UnmaskedWFPodcast/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedwithwf [https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedwithwf] Want to be a guest on UNMASKED with Wesley Farnsworth?

EP 63 - How to Heal From Church Hurt Without Losing Faith

Church hurt is real. When pain comes from a place that was supposed to feel safe, it can affect far more than relationships. It can impact trust, community, and even how we view God.

In this episode: • Why church hurt cuts so deeply • How pain can become attached to faith • The difference between forgiveness and pretending • Why isolation rarely heals relational wounds • Practical steps toward healing and trust Connect with UNMASKED: Website: https://www.wesleyfarnsworth.com [https://www.wesleyfarnsworth.com] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnmaskedWFPodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/UnmaskedWFPodcast/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedwithwf [https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedwithwf] Want to be a guest on UNMASKED with Wesley Farnsworth?
