On today's episode of the Dad Tired Podcast, we're talking about what it looks like to be a

dad who truly counts the cost of following Jesus before you lead your family, your community,

or anyone for that matter. Before we dive into all that, though, I want to thank our sponsors

for sponsoring today's episode. Listen, the truth is we might not always have ads on the show or

sponsors for the show as we continue to get more monthly partners from guides like you who

support the ministry. But until we hit our monthly giving goal, it is important for us to have

sponsors. And I'm so thankful for these sponsors that help make this ministry possible and

that help make this episode possible. So first, I want to thank our friends over at Samaritan

Ministries for sponsoring today's episode. I've told you about them a thousand times, but

it is a healthcare sharing ministry. It's not insurance, but it is a biblical solution to healthcare

connecting you to other Christians who support you spiritually and financially. When a medical

need arises, you can choose the healthcare providers and treatments that work best for you

and your family. You're not restricted to any networks, which is really nice. You have the

freedom to choose your doctor, your treatment, the hospital that works best for you and your family.

When something does arise, your medical bills are sent to Samaritan Ministries. They'll notify

all the members to pray for you and to send you money for your shareable bills. And then the money

you received can be used to help or will be used to help pay for your medical bills. They also

have online resources available to help you choose your provider to price out medical procedures ahead

of time and 24-7 access by phone or email to these to get medical advice before you visit the

doctor, which is going to definitely save you time and money. I love Samaritan Ministries. I love

what they're doing. Reminds me from Galatians 6-2, which has bear one another's burden, so

to fulfill the law of Christ. If you're interested in being part of this really awesome community
