The person that you are most frustrated within the whole world when you're at rock bottom is yourself.

And so for somebody else to say, hey, you're not too difficult for me.

Like, I cannot tell you how powerful that is.

How's it going, guys? Welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast.

I'm your host, Jared Lopes.

Join me every Monday as we dive into what it looks like to be men who fall in love with Jesus

and help our families do the same.

You can learn more about our books, resources, conferences, and even online community

by going to Dadtired.com.

Let's dive into today's episode.

how middle-aged white men have the highest demographic of suicides and who are struggling with depression and as a result taking their own lives.

We have even heard recent stories of pastors who have taken their own lives. It's actually something we'll be talking about in today's episode.

It might be something that you are personally struggling with or maybe a spouse, close friend, or a child. You're walking them through

that journey. And so I just think it's very relevant for where we're at in today's culture. And that's

why I want to be talking about it today on this podcast. I know even some of you are you going to get

a lot out of today's episode. I pray that you're encouraged by the good news of the gospel again today. But some of you, you're going to get a lot out of today's episode. I pray that you're

and other dad tired guys in our community who are reaching out and who would love to pray with you

and share prayer requests with you and share
