Dad Tired

by Jerrad Lopes

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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This hit home with the challenge about checking out and falling into sin or worthless things and avoiding truth. Thank you for challenging to ask myself hard questions as to the why I do what I do. Thank you for being vulnerable and truthful.

Tcarn4jc · Apr 2025

This is a wonderful insight into biblical parenting as well as understanding my husband and son more. I think all moms should listen!

C Petey · Sep 2024

Started following this podcast after commenting on a post on IG where he went walking with his kids. I said how I needed that encouragement after long days at work and Jarred actually responded and engaged. Not often do you see that from people that on IG. Very encouraging brother in Christ and definitely worth a listen to this podcast.

RADical920 · Mar 2024

Jared brings it every episode - encouraging, thought provoking camaraderie aimed at dads in the midst of navigating the landscape of fatherhood. I find myself listening to it working out, driving around, doing yard work, everywhere. One of the best resources I have found out there to date, sincerely thankful for the time, effort, and heart behind Dad Tired!
