Dad Tired

Today's Sponsor: The Go Bible

Have you ever told Jesus, “I’ll follow you”… but deep down knew there were conditions?

In Luke 9, Jesus encounters three men who all say they want to follow Him. One is overly excited but hasn’t counted the cost. One delays, waiting for a more convenient time. And one wants Jesus—but still keeps looking back.

Each one is close. But none fully surrender.

In this message, we explore the uncomfortable truth about discipleship: following Jesus will cost you everything. Not because He wants to harm you—but because He wants to heal you, transform you, and make you fully alive.

Jesus isn’t looking for momentary excitement. He’s looking for faithful disciples who are all in.

This message will challenge you to ask:
• Have I counted the cost?
• Am I delaying obedience?
• Am I still looking back at my old life?
• Or am I fully surrendered?

The greatest tragedy isn’t rejecting Jesus outright. It’s almost following Him your entire life.

Scripture: Luke 9:57–62

What is Dad Tired?

You’re tired.
Not just physically; though yeah, that too.
You’re tired in your bones. In your soul.
Trying to be a steady husband, an intentional dad, a man of God… but deep down, you feel like you’re falling short. Like you’re carrying more than you know how to hold.

Dad Tired is a podcast for men who are ready to stop pretending and start healing.
Not with self-help tips or religious platitudes, but by anchoring their lives in something (and Someone) stronger.

Hosted by Jerrad Lopes, a husband, dad of four, and fellow struggler, this show is a weekly invitation to find rest for your soul, clarity for your calling, and the courage to lead your family well.

Through honest stories, biblical truth, and deep conversations you’ll be reminded:

You’re not alone. You’re not too far gone. And the man you want to be is only found in Jesus.

This isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about coming home.
