Dad Tired

Some of us have convinced ourselves that our thought life is free reign to mediate on whatever we'd like. Jesus seemed to have a different idea of what thought life should look like for his followers.

In today's episode, former NHL star, and husband to Carrie Underwood, Mike Fisher joins Jerrad to talk about the goal of being a Jesus-centered dad.

In today's podcast, host Jerrad Lopes is joined by Joshua Straub, co-founder of Famous At Home to discuss the 7 ways to become famous at home. Jerrad and Josh discuss at length what it looks like for a guy to become better at processing and expressing his emotion, along with learning how to deal with the emotion of your spouse and kids.

Do you feel like you're a good listener? How would your wife and kids answer that question about you? In today's episode, join host Jerrad Lopes and his wife Leila as they have an honest conversation about how to listen to your spouse well.

Are you struggling with doubt? Do you have a child who is already doubting their faith? In the episode of the Dad Tired podcast, join host Jerrad Lopes as he talks with Pastor Dominic Done about his book "When Faith Fails".

In today's episode, NFL Hall-of-Fame coach Tony Dungy talks about his upbringing, his biggest moments in the NFL, raising 10 kids, and what our kids will remember most about their childhood with their dad.

Are you feeling stuck on whether or not you should have more kids? Maybe you're content with how things are, but your wife is starting to get baby-fever. If you're not sure whether you should have more kids, or feeling guilty about your reasons for not wanting to, this episode is for you.

Are you having a hard time finding a church? Maybe you're not totally convinced that you really even need church. If we're honest, we can find great messages and worship online and be spiritually fed outside of the local church. We're also not convinced that the way we do church now is ever how Jesus intended things to be. Whether you've been hurt by the church, or you're just confused on what to teach your kids about the subject, this episode will hopefully add some clarity.

This week, Jerrad interviews author, pastor, and friend, Chris Nye about his new book Less of More, and what it means for us as men.

Description of Less of More:

For most Americans, the pursuit of happiness really means the pursuit of more--more money, more prestige, more stuff. We've made idols out of innovation, growth, power, and wealth. Far from offering us happiness and satisfaction, this has only left us exhausted, isolated, miserable, and wondering if there is a better way.

There is. Less of More exposes our pursuit of more for what it truly is: an attempt to satisfy our souls with the temporary instead of the eternal. Pastor and writer Chris Nye invites us to consider what a full and abundant life looks like apart from money, status, and power. He exposes the lies inherent in our obsession with growth, fame, and wealth and calls us to a countercultural life marked by connection, obscurity, vulnerability, and generosity.

If you have gained the world but lost your soul, Less of More offers a compelling path toward a life of true, deep, lasting satisfaction with Jesus--not us--at the center of it.

Do you ever feel like you're asking your kids to be someone you're not? Are you demanding them to show qualities and characteristics that you haven't mastered yourself? In this week's episode, join host Jerrad Lopes as he talks about the different between a "Show & Tell" model of discipleship, vs a "Tell & Tell" model.
