On today's episode of the Data Tired Podcast, I sit down with author Brent Crowe to talk about how Jesus can offer our family stability in

the midst of really chaotic times. We also talk about how to protect your family from

alligators and other really practical ways to lead your family well. Just as a reminder, every December we do a giving campaign where we try to raise funds for the upcoming year.

In 2022, we have a lot of big dreams. Our goal is to get more of you

dad-tired guys together in person. We have a lot of really good community happening online, but we just want to see more of the

dad-tired guys actually meeting face to face where their families are getting together. Their kids are playing with each other, and you can just meet other

like mine to do to live near you. We want to create dad-tired chapters and meet-ups and all that kind of stuff, but we also have a really big goal of creating an annual

dad-tired retreat. This would be where the dad-tired guys from all over the country and even worlds if we had guys who were

willing enough to fly in and we would book an amazing camp. We would have great speakers and worship leaders who are pouring into the dad-tired guys.

Of course, there'd be good food and games and activities and meet another like-minded dudes and all that kind of stuff, but ultimately we just want to see more guys getting together and we would love to have a big dad-tired retreat every year.

If you want to help us accomplish this goal, obviously it takes a lot of resources and manpower. We need volunteers. We need financial assistance to do that.

Along with all the other things that we do here at dad-tired, and so we're asking you if you would join us to become a monthly partner. If you've considered doing that in the past and you just kind of put it off, I'm telling you even five or ten bucks a month helps us a ton, especially those monthly gifts because then we can budget accordingly.

Obviously, we love the one-time donations, but if you're able to join us monthly, that really helps us plan for the whole year.

So anyway, if you'd like to be part of that, we would love to have you join us. You can go to dad-tired.com-fords-give. Again, that's dad-tired.com-fords-give.

Before we dive into today's episode, I want to thank my friends over at Samaritan Ministries for making today's episode possible.

Samaritan Ministries is a biblical solution to healthcare where hundreds of thousands of Christians across the nation bear one another's medical burdens through prayer and financial support.

It's not insurance, and there are no network restrictions, which means you choose the doctors, treatments, and hospitals that are right for you.

Medical bills are sent to Samaritan Ministries, and they notify members to pray and send money directly to you to help pay those bills.

It's affordable with a sharing program that could fit your budget, and you can join today.

Samaritan Ministries is always there to help you choose a quality healthcare provider, to price medical procedures, and 24-7 access, to medical professionals by phone or email,

to get medical advice before you visit the doctor, which is going to save you time and money.

When you think about Samaritan Ministries, you think about the verse in Galatians 6.2, which says,
