Dad Tired

Can't beat an old habit? Are you finding yourself doing the same negative things over and over? Then it’s time to get hungry, literally. When Jesus went to the desert to be tempted He fasted to gain control of his flesh. We too are tempted every day. We get cut-off in traffic and our tempers get the best of us. Kids aren’t listening and we get frustrated. Too often we react in the flesh instead of allowing His spirit to be in control. Join host Jerrad Lopes as he discusses the benefits of fasting and learning to draw closer to God by denying your flesh.

Host: Jerrad Lopes

Scripture references:
Matthew 4:1-2
"Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry."

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.
