    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.
