    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.

    Making Your Marriage A Fortress (with Gary Thomas) Aug 01, 2022
    Show notes

    Every marriage will face disaster. Illness or cancer. Job loss or financial burdens. Addiction. Anxiety. Infidelity. Loss of faith. It's not a question of if your marriage will face trials. It's a question of when.


    Whether you've been married for five years or fifty, your marriage will either become part of the problem or part of the solution, and it's within your power to ensure your marriage is prepared for those seasons, is a place of refuge and safety throughout those seasons, and can recover well after those seasons.


    In today's episode of the Dad Tired podcast, host Jerrad Lopes sits down with best-selling author Gary Thomas (Sacred Marriage) to talk through how to build a marriage that can withstand life's many storms.


    Podcast Discussion Questions for your Meet Up Group:


    1. Do you look at your marriage as something that draws you closer to God?
    2. What if you looked at and leaned into your marriage as a place where God is challenging you and showing you weaknesses in your character?
    3. Is there some characteristic/attitude that you have in your life outside of the home that you need to check to connect with your family at home.
    4. What are you chasing after to make you happy? Is it the kingdom of God? (Matt. 6:33)
    5. Are you trying to turn your wife into a “love me how I want to be loved machine?” Or do you want to treat your wife like Christ who came not to be served but to serve.
    6. Are you spiritually healthy enough to handle life when the storm hits? Will your marriage be a refuge or part of the problem.
    7. Are you training your brain to escape the pain and pressure in your life today, that may only get worse when the storm comes?


    Questions from Jerrad and Gary


    1. What is Gods agenda for my marriage?
    2. What if your wife needs joy today in what she is doing?
    3. Do I expect my wife/kids to exist for me? Or am I here to serve them and love them and help them grow?
    4. How can you cherish your wife if you are living in terror of her finding you out?
    5. What does your spiritual life look like outside of you wife? Are you relying on your wife’s relationship with Jesus?

    Show notes

    On today's episode of the Dad Tired podcast, host Jerrad Lopes sits down with Patrick Morley to talk about the Four Voices playing out in the heads of most men.


    Questions for your local meet up:


    1. Do you know God loves you because he made you or are you working hard to be acceptable to God? Do you need to accept God‘s grace?

    3. What does the voice of the world normally tell you? What does the Bible say in contrast to that?
    4. What does your Bible reading habit it look like? Are you reading the word everyday?
    5. Are you serving someone else? Do you have any ideas on how/who to serve?
    6. Do you take the Devil seriously? What does it look like to give him the respect he deserves but also treat him like you know God is more powerful?
    7. What are you taking in? What podcast, music, apps, news, social media are you meditating on? Is it beneficial or should it be cut out?
    8. Are you aware of your spiritual strengths and weakness’? Does it shape the decisions you make? If not, how can it?
    9. Are you seeking the God you want, or are you seeking the God who is? What is the difference?

    1. Are you familiar with liturgical practices, or are they fairly new to you?

    4. How can you structure rhythms within your home where the scripture is read, memorized, and valued?
    5. Does your family practice a regular sabbath? What would it look like for you to value a day of rest as a family?
    6. What would it look like for you to “lean in” more to your local church?
    7. If you think of your home as a “little church” what would you do differently on a given week?
    8. When you think about re-capturing the dinner table, what comes to mind? Are there rules or rhythms that you can set within your family that would allow the dinner table to become a more sacred space? How could you use your dinner table as a way to live on mission in your neighborhood?

    The Actions Of Spiritual Leadership Jul 04, 2022
    Show notes

    What does spiritual leadership look like practically in real-life? Do you have the right expectations for yourself when it comes to leading your family well? In episode two of the Killing The Myths of Spiritual Leadership Series, we talk about the actions that spiritual leaders take.


    Questions for your meet-up:


    • God used Jesus to make peace with the world and show people what the kingdom is like. Now, as Jesus followers, or ‘ambassadors’, we are called to show our family what the kingdom is like. How does this reality change the way you think about parenting? (Minute 9 of the episode)
    • As an ambassador for Christ and his Kingdom, what are you biggest goals for your children and family? What do you want to be said of them at the end of their life? (Minute 10 of the podcast)
    • When you think about the verse that says “follow me as I follow Christ” in the context of your parenting and marriage, what thoughts and emotions come to mind? (minute 15)
    • What are some regular situations in your family life that can turn into Gospel-tunities, if you were more intentional? (minute 17)
    • When do you find yourself wanting to disengage most as an intentional dad? (Minute 20)
    • What’s the last thing you had to apologize to your wife or kids for doing? How did it go? Would you consider yourself a good ‘apologizer’? If not, where do you need to grow in that area? (Minute 22)
    • Are there any areas of your personal life where you feel like you’re modeling discipleship well for your kids? Are there areas you can improve? If so, how do you feel led to grow in terms of modeling discipleship for your family? (minute 27)
