Dad Tired

Before Your Son Becomes a Man, He Needs This...


Listen Later

Join us in Alaska for a Father Son Trip

What if the greatest gift you could give your son isn’t a car, a college fund, or a successful life—but a deep sense that he is beloved?

In this episode, Jerrad sits down with Peter Goodwin and Connor Ketchum from The Quarry Project, a father–son camp in Alaska helping dads disciple their boys into biblical manhood. Together, they unpack what it really means to raise sons who know who they are, where they come from, and what they’re made for.

Through honest stories, theological insight, and real-world examples, they explore how today’s dads can break generational cycles and become the kind of fathers who bless rather than wound.

With a mix of vulnerability and hope, this episode will help you:

  • Understand the power of a father’s blessing
  • Learn why “beloved sonship” is the foundation of manhood
  • Recognize how your own father wounds impact your parenting
  • Discover what true initiation into manhood looks like
  • See how God can redeem your family’s story through you

Whether you had a great dad or no dad at all, this episode is a powerful reminder that strong families begin with healed men—and your son’s journey into manhood starts with you.

Prayer:
“Father, help me see my son the way You see me—beloved, chosen, and full of purpose.”
