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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-06T14:20:35.302255+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dad-tired-589874"},"episode":{"title":"How to Raise Capable Kids (with David Thomas)","slug":"the-parenting-mistake-that-s-making-your-kids-weaker","published_at":"2026-06-01T10:23:40+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dad-tired-589874/the-parenting-mistake-that-s-making-your-kids-weaker","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dad-tired-589874","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/70884ba6","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/70884ba6/76fc3b5b.mp3","summary":"Important Links: Grab a copy of David's book: Capable: Raising Resiliant Kids Mentioned: The Anxious Generation & The Amazing Generation Dad Tired Annual Retreat Host A Dad Tired Conference at your church Join the FREE Family Leadership Program Shop the Dad Tired store for best-selling gear In this episode, Jerrad sits down with David Thomas, executive director of Daystar Counseling Ministries and co-author of Capable , for a practical and deeply encouraging conversation on raising resilient kids. David explains why our goal as parents should not simply be to raise happy or confident children, but capable ones. He and Jerrad talk about the temptation to rescue our kids from hard things, how anxiety often shows up differently in boys, why chores and discomfort matter, and how kids build competence by practicing coping, problem-solving, and flexibility. They also talk honestly about dads doing their own healing work, how unhealed pain can spill onto our families, and why strong families begin with men who are willing to name what is going on in their own hearts. If you’re a dad who wants to raise kids who can handle real life with courage, resilience, and dependence on Jesus, this conversation is for you.
