Dad Tired

There’s a difference between remembering your past and being haunted by it.

In this episode, I talk about the narrow road of discipleship—between spiritual amnesia and shame—and why God actually calls us to look back from time to time. Not to punish ourselves, but to remember His faithfulness.

When we look back the right way, one of two things happens:
Gratitude, when we see how far God has brought us.
Repentance, when we realize we’ve drifted or stalled.
What it should never lead to is shame.
Conviction is an invitation from God.
Shame is a verdict from the enemy.

If you’re growing, let gratitude fuel you forward.

If you feel further from God than ever, today is the day to return—not to hide.

Jesus is still inviting you back.

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.
