Tired, a word that at one time or another describes every dad. But what happens when you are seriously exhausted? When you feel far from God, far from your family, and stretched to the breaking point? We have all been there. We have all at one time or another allowed our exhaustion to cause us to be a little abrupt with those we love or allowed our relationship with God to grow distant. This week, join host Jerrad Lopes as he discusses what to do when you are no longer trying to be the best husband or dad, but merely trying to survive. As tired as you are, grab a cup of coffee and squeeze a few extra minutes out of your day, because you won’t want to miss the encouragement from this episode.

Show notes provided by Dad Tired contributor Jared Meade.
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.
