Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. I'm glad that you're here. If you just stumbled upon the podcast, welcome. We're more than just a podcast. We're a community of men from all over the world who are trying to figure out what does it look like for us personally as dudes to fall more in love with Jesus and then to help our families do the same. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take Jesus seriously. And we're just trying to stumble closer to him

and closer to what it looks like for us to be the men that God's called us to be. So if that resonates

with you, we'd love to have you. I was just listening to the end of last episode, the very, very

end of last episode. You can go back and listen to it from last week. I could hear my daughter

on the recording crying in the background. So that's

like how not professional we are. That's how not polished we are. I didn't even know I have these

like almost completely noise canceling headphones on when I'm recording the podcast. So I didn't know

that there was like screaming going on in the background. I'm sure my wife was real happy about

that. But I didn't even notice until I went back and listened to the episode that my daughter

had just like fallen and was screaming. She's okay. But anyway, so yeah, we're just a bunch of

normal dudes trying to figure out what does it mean for us to leave our family well in the midst

of all this chaos. So you'll probably hear some more screaming in the background.

Really excited to jump into today's episode, speaking of screaming. I did an episode a couple weeks

ago on discipline. And then I asked my buddy Chris, who has been part of the dad's side ministry

now for a couple years, he has five kids. I have four, so he won up to me. And for a period,

he was a single dad. And so I had

asked him, like, dude, can you record an episode on this and just talk us through what it looks like

to discipline well and through the gospel, through the lens of the gospel. And so even though I did

want to not too long ago, I wanted to hear his perspective. And truthfully, like just putting all the cards on

the table, his episode's better. If you're going to pick either going back and listening to mine

or listening to his today, I think Chris is, he just nails it. Like, this is a really, really helpful

episode. So I love what he had to say. And I think it's going to be really helpful for you as well. Before we jump into that, though, I do want to thank my friends over at Samaritan Ministries for sponsoring today's
