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":"Work, Rest, Calling, and the Goodness of God (with Jordan Raynor)","slug":"work-rest-calling-and-the-goodness-of-god-with-jordan-raynor","published_at":"2026-05-18T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dad-tired-589874/work-rest-calling-and-the-goodness-of-god-with-jordan-raynor","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dad-tired-589874","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/a49120d8","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/a49120d8/448416f5.mp3","summary":"What if your job, your parenting, your neighborhood, and your ordinary Monday morning all mattered deeply to God? In this episode, Jerrad sits down with returning guest Jordan Raynor for a wide-ranging conversation about work, calling, the Holy Spirit, fatherhood, and the lies that keep Christian men exhausted. Jordan unpacks why work existed before sin, how our daily jobs can be worship, and why the Holy Spirit empowers us not just for salvation, but for the good works God has prepared for us. The conversation also moves into evangelism, neighborhood faithfulness, the kindness of God, and the freedom that comes from realizing God doesn’t need us. He wants us. This episode is for the dad who feels tired, scattered, overcommitted, or unsure if his everyday life really matters to God. In this episode, we talk about: Why your work matters to God How to see ordinary tasks as worship The lies and half-truths many Christians believe Why the Holy Spirit empowers us for good works How to talk to your kids about deep theology Why saying no can be an act of faithfulness The difference between a tired body and a weary soul Why God doesn’t need you, but graciously invites you Mentioned in this episode: VARA Safe Use Promo code DADTIRED for $20 off Dad Tired Annual Retreat Free Family Leadership Program The Spirit in You by Jordan Raynor","meta_description":"What if your job, your parenting, your neighborhood, and your ordinary Monday morning all mattered deeply to God?
