Dad Tired

How Identity Shapes Fatherhood | 351


Listen Later

 In this episode, Jerrad shares how a small moment in the kitchen led to two days of silence. What seemed like a simple argument uncovered old pressure, unspoken expectations, and a deep fear of not being enough. He reflects on how that pattern formed in childhood, how it still shows up today, and what it looks like to let Jesus into places marked by shame and performance.

Tune in to hear how honesty can lead to healing, even in the quiet places you try to ignore.
