Tired, a word that at one time or another describes every dad. But what happens when you are seriously exhausted? When you feel far from God, far from your family, and stretched to the breaking point? We have all been there. We have all at one time or another allowed our exhaustion to cause us to be a little abrupt with those we love or allowed our relationship with God to grow distant.

Each decision we make affects not only our lives but also the lives of our family. As we encounter circumstances that require us to make a decision, we want to hear God’s voice guiding us, but how do we know if it’s God’s voice we hear or our own inner voice? Join host, Jerrad Lopes as he discusses how learning scripture helps us to learn about God’s character and in turn to recognize His voice in our lives.

Gospel Fluency (feat. Jeff Vanderstelt) Jun 18, 2017

Show notes

As men, we can be known for trying to complete a project without reading the instructions. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we are left with extra parts that we have no idea what they are for. Unfortunately, this is often our approach to the gospel as well. We try to live right and share Jesus with others but we don’t take the time to engross ourselves in the instruction manual – the Bible. In this week’s episode, Jerrad Lopes talks with Jeff Vanderstelt, pastor of Doxa Church in Bellevue, WA, and author of Gospel Fluency, about several topics important to understanding our role as Christian dads including: · What does gospel fluency mean? · How should we discipline our children? · How can we be gospel-centered husbands? Join us as we learn how to truly become fluent in the gospel by learning to immerse ourselves so completely in the truths of the gospel that it becomes our “mother tongue.” Host: Jerrad Lopes Guest: Jeff Vanderstelt is the visionary leader of Saturate and the Soma Family of Churches, is the vision and teaching pastor at Doxa Church in Bellevue, WA, and author. Mentioned during the episode: · Gospel Fluency - Even if they want to, many Christians find it hard to talk to others about Jesus. Is it possible this difficulty is because we're trying to speak a language we haven't actually spent time practicing? To become fluent in a new language, you must immerse yourself in it until you actually start to think about life through it. · JeffVanderstelt.com · Jeff Vanderstelt’s Twitter Scripture references: · Proverbs 20:5 – “The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.” Connect with Dad Tired: · To subscribe on iOS, go to our iTunes page and subscribe. · Leave an iTunes review, this lets us and others know what you think and increases the chance that other dads will find us. · Like and Follow Dad Tired on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates. · Join our Dad Tired closed Facebook group for men who are trying to figure out how to be better disciples, husbands, fathers, and men.

We often judge our relationship with God based on how close or how far we feel from Him. But what about those times when you don’t feel either either? If we don’t feel that same wide-eyed and enthusiastic passion for God, does it mean something is wrong? Join host Jerrad Lopes as he discusses how our walk with God can become quiet, steady in the everyday and become less about feelings and more about commitment. When the passion fades, faithfulness takes over. A gospel-centered man shows up every day for Jesus because that is what Jesus did for us. Host: Jerrad Lopes Mentioned during the episode: · Jeff Vanderstelt, pastor, teacher, and speaker · Dr. Tim Chester, pastor, teacher, and author · Shane Claiborne, speaker, activist, and author · John Mark Homer, pastor, and author Scripture references: · Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Chuck Swindoll once wrote, “I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than memorizing Scripture…No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends!” In this episode, host Jerrad Lopes walks us through the practice of memorizing scripture as a foundation of spiritual life and loving scripture to the point that it is written on our hearts. He also shares with listeners a portion of a sermon by Pastor John Piper as he recites scripture from memory. Commentary is good but nothing beats the word of God!! Host: Jerrad Lopes Mentioned during the episode: · Man cold – It’s a real thing! · John Piper – Pastor, teacher and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary Scripture references: · 2 Timothy 3:16 – “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,” Connect with Dad Tired: · To subscribe on iOS, go to our iTunes page and subscribe. · Leave an iTunes review, this lets us and others know what you think and increases the chance that other dads will find us. · Like and Follow Dad Tired on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates. · Join our Dad Tired closed Facebook group for men who are trying to figure out how to be better disciples, husbands, fathers, and men.

Real Life Gospel Stories May 29, 2017

As men, we tend to compartmentalize everything, including our spiritual lives. But when it comes to pointing our children to Christ and His gospel, compartmentalization will never be enough. Scheduling times for reading the Bible, prayer before bed and church attendance should not be our only goal. As dads, we should be looking for everyday moments to point our children to the gospel. Join host Jerrad Lopes as he discusses how a father/son outing for frozen yogurt, with his son Elijah, became an opportunity to talk to him about God’s direction for Christians to take care of the needy. If you struggle with how to illustration to your children the relevance of Bible teaching in “real life,” you won’t want to miss this episode.
