| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. I know there are probably many of you who are just stumbling upon the podcast for the first time. If that's you, I just wanted to say welcome, man. I'm glad that you did. You did stumble upon this podcast. We are a bunch of men from all over the world who are trying to take our faith, our family, and our marriages very seriously. We're going to talk actually about that today. But if you're a man who |
| 0:22.2 | just feels like something's stirring in you to do more, to lead better, to get after the things that |
| 0:28.5 | God has called you to, to stop being apathetic, then this is the right podcast for you. I really do |
| 0:34.6 | believe that. We're also really serious here at Dad's Hired that |
| 0:37.5 | we believe that in order to be those kind of men that God is calling us to be that we have to find |
| 0:42.1 | healing in our own hearts. And again, I'm going to talk a little bit more about that today. But I |
| 0:47.3 | hope that this episode and every episode that we do allows you to find a little bit of healing |
| 0:52.1 | so that you can lead better. We are going all over |
| 0:55.7 | the country and world to do our one-day conferences. We host a annual retreat where we gather guys |
| 1:02.9 | from all over the country and world into one spot, and that's hundreds of guys together. We just got |
| 1:07.7 | done with that retreat. We're about to, we will soon have sign-ups for the next one available for you in the coming months. So keep an eye off for that. But all throughout the year, we do one-day conferences where we gather together. And we talk about what does it look like for us as men to lead? And anyway, we're starting to do those all over the country and world again. And we would love for you to be a part of that. If you go to dadtire.com and click the conferences tab, one, you can just get more information on how your church can host one of these. We're always looking to partner with churches. And so if you're interested in hosting one of these, if you're a church leader or you're close to your church leadership. We would love to talk to you |
| 1:44.2 | about hosting one of these. But we also have a couple coming up so you can go on there and see |
| 1:48.7 | all the ones that we have coming up. We have one in Tennessee coming up and we have one in Canada |
| 1:54.9 | coming up. I know Canada is big. So I think we're in Ontario area. Don't quote me on that. |
| 2:00.4 | My Canada geography |
| 2:01.9 | is not great. But we'll be in the country of Canada somewhere. So make sure you sign up for that. |
| 2:09.8 | If you are anywhere in that area, that doesn't even if you're, go on the website and just click to |
| 2:16.6 | make sure if you are in the area that you can attend one |
| 2:19.1 | of those but if you want to get more information on how to host or where we're going um dadtire |
| 2:23.6 | dot com forward slash conferences or just click the conferences tab all right today uh i just been man |
| 2:28.6 | i've been wrestling every time we get done with these dad tired conferences it kind of stirs up uh these retreats, not one day retreats, but the retreats we do annually. |
| 2:38.7 | They always kind of stir me up and I feel like the Lord uses these times to just reset vision for me and to kind of give me clarity on what the next year looks like. |
