    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.

    Teaching Your Kids The Apostles Creed (and why it matters...) Oct 27, 2025
    Show notes

    Most dads want to disciple their kids—but sometimes we don’t know where to start. In this episode, Kaleb shares a simple rhythm he’s been using in his own home: teaching the Apostles’ Creed. Whether it’s on car rides, walks, or at bedtime, this ancient confession of faith has become a bridge to talk about who God is and what we believe as a family.

    As Kaleb walks through each line of the Creed, he focuses on one most of us overlook: “He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” He unpacks what that means for our daily discipleship—how it shapes the way we pray, parent, and live under the reign of King Jesus.

    Through personal stories, biblical teaching, and practical insight, this episode will help you see how even ancient words can lead to modern transformation right in your own home.

    With a mix of theology and real-life dad moments, you’ll learn to:

    • Use the Apostles’ Creed as a tool for family discipleship
    • Explain big doctrines in simple language your kids can grasp
    • See how the Ascension reveals Jesus as both Savior and King
    • Understand the connection between Christ’s reign and your everyday mission
    • Bring faith into your family’s ordinary rhythms

    Prayer:
    “Father, thank You that Jesus reigns as King—and that His finished work means I can rest, lead, and love my family with confidence and peace.”

    Before Your Son Becomes a Man, He Needs This... Oct 20, 2025
    Show notes

    Join us in Alaska for a Father Son Trip

    What if the greatest gift you could give your son isn’t a car, a college fund, or a successful life—but a deep sense that he is beloved?

    In this episode, Jerrad sits down with Peter Goodwin and Connor Ketchum from The Quarry Project, a father–son camp in Alaska helping dads disciple their boys into biblical manhood. Together, they unpack what it really means to raise sons who know who they are, where they come from, and what they’re made for.

    Through honest stories, theological insight, and real-world examples, they explore how today’s dads can break generational cycles and become the kind of fathers who bless rather than wound.

    With a mix of vulnerability and hope, this episode will help you:

    • Understand the power of a father’s blessing
    • Learn why “beloved sonship” is the foundation of manhood
    • Recognize how your own father wounds impact your parenting
    • Discover what true initiation into manhood looks like
    • See how God can redeem your family’s story through you

    Whether you had a great dad or no dad at all, this episode is a powerful reminder that strong families begin with healed men—and your son’s journey into manhood starts with you.

    Prayer:
    “Father, help me see my son the way You see me—beloved, chosen, and full of purpose.”

    You Can’t Change the World If Your Car’s a Mess Oct 06, 2025
    Show notes

    What if the clutter around you- your messy car, chaotic desk, or unfinished projects—was actually revealing something deeper happening inside you?

    In this episode, Jerrad challenges men to look beneath the surface and see how the outward disorder in our lives often mirrors the inward chaos of our souls. Before stepping into the mission God’s calling us to, He’s inviting us to bring order, attention, and faithfulness to the small things right in front of us.

    Through personal stories, honest reflection, and a practical framework, Jerrad helps listeners see that spiritual leadership starts with stewardship. You can’t lead your family well, love your wife faithfully, or change the world for Christ if your life is cluttered and chaotic.

    With a mix of conviction and grace, this episode will help you:

    • Recognize how outward messes reveal inward disorder
    • Understand why God calls men to faithfulness in the small things first
    • Learn seven practical ways to clean up “sloppy” areas of your life
    • See how physical order can become a daily act of spiritual worship
    • Prepare your heart for the bigger mission God’s about to call you into

    Whether you feel distracted, disorganized, or just stuck, this episode is a wake-up call to bring order to the chaos—and become the kind of man God can trust with more.

    Prayer:
    “God, is there anything in my life that grieves You?”

    Count the Cost: Following Jesus in a Hostile World Sep 22, 2025
    Show notes

    What does it really mean to follow Jesus when the cost is high?

    In this week’s episode, Jerrad reflects on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk; not just as a political figure, but as a brother in Christ who boldly proclaimed the gospel until his final moments.

    Drawing from Luke 9 and his own experiences at the Dad Tired retreat, Jerrad challenges men to slow down, quiet the noise, and seriously ask: Am I all in with Jesus?

    You’ll hear:

    • Why silence matters for hearing God’s voice
    • How Charlie Kirk’s final words point us to courage and hope
    • The danger of being overly eager or overly cautious in discipleship
    • What it means to “count the cost” before putting your hand to the plow

    This episode is a sobering call to examine our “but first” excuses and to step fully into the life Jesus is calling us to live.


    Identity in a World That Rejects You Sep 15, 2025
    Show notes

    What if the very thing you fear most—suffering—was actually the place God wanted to meet you most deeply?

    In this episode, Jerrad opens a new series through 1 Peter, a letter written to Christians facing intense persecution under Nero. With raw honesty and pastoral encouragement, he reminds us that suffering isn’t a sign that God has abandoned us—it’s often the very soil where our faith takes root.

    Drawing from Peter’s opening words, Jerrad shares personal stories of walking with grieving families, parenting through pain, and clinging to identity in Christ when the world speaks lies. More than tips or quick fixes, this episode centers us on the truth that even in suffering, we can bless God—because our hope and inheritance are secure in Jesus.

    With insight from 1 Peter 1:1–5 and the broader historical context, you’ll discover:

    • Why Peter calls us “elect exiles” and why that matters for your identity today
    • How to hold onto hope when life feels like it’s falling apart
    • Why remembering who you are in Christ can anchor you through hardship
    • The difference between the world’s identity labels and God’s declaration over you
    • Nine reasons Peter gives us to bless God, even in suffering

    Whether you’re grieving, discouraged, or just need a reminder of where your true hope lies, this episode will help you lift your eyes to the One who guards both your inheritance and your soul.

    Show notes

    Watch on YouTube

    What if the hardest thing you’ve ever faced wasn’t 60 days in the wilderness, but the weight of leading your family through suffering?

    In this episode, Jerrad sits down with Alone Season 5 winner, Sam Larson, whose victory on national TV was followed by a far heavier reality at home: all three of his children being diagnosed with CLN3 Batten Disease, a rare terminal illness.

    With raw honesty and gospel hope, Sam shares how grief stripped away every illusion of control, what it means to father children with a limited timeline, and how Jesus became more real than ever in the middle of heartbreak.

    With insight from 2 Corinthians 12, Matthew 5, and Romans 8, you’ll discover:

    • Why suffering can feel like an uninvited gift that drives us closer to Christ
    • The difference between choosing hardship (like Alone) and enduring pain you never asked for
    • How to anchor your family in gospel hope when life feels unbearable
    • Why men need brothers in Christ to speak truth when they’re drowning in lies
    • What it looks like to find joy, purpose, and community even in seasons of deep suffering

    Whether you’re walking through grief, feeling the crushing weight of fatherhood, or just longing for purpose in your everyday life, this episode will remind you that Jesus has conquered even the darkest parts of our story—and He is with you.

    10 Lies Destorying Men Sep 02, 2025
    Show notes

    Watch on YouTube

    What if the biggest battle you’re fighting isn’t around you, but inside your own head?

    In this episode, Jerrad gets real about the lies men quietly believe every day—the voices that whisper (or shout), “You’re not enough, you’ll never change, you’re unlovable, you don’t matter.” Drawing from personal struggles, conversations with friends, and the truth of Scripture, he unpacks how to recognize these destructive thoughts and replace them with what God actually says.

    With insight from John 8:44, Romans 8:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and Ephesians 2:10, you’ll discover:

    • The 10 most common lies men believe—and how they quietly shape our marriages, parenting, and walk with God
    • Why these lies don’t just stay in your head but impact your words, actions, and relationships
    • How Satan, the father of lies, plants accusations that erode your identity in Christ
    • The practical, biblical way to combat lies—not with pep talks or hype—but with the Word of God and gospel-centered community
    • Why truth spoken by brothers in Christ can break through lies when self-talk can’t

    Whether you’ve felt the sting of shame, the weight of failure, or the loneliness of “I have to do this on my own,” this episode will help you step back onto the solid ground of God’s truth and live as the healed man He created you to be.
