What's up, guys? I'm Jared Lopes, and you're listening to the Dad Tired Podcast, where I'm helping

everyday families learn how to follow Jesus and everyday life.

How's it going, guys? Jared Lopes with you back here on the Dad Tired podcast. It's good to be with you.

If this is your first time ever listening to the podcast, just want to say welcome. Glad that you found it.

We are a community of men from around the world who are taking our faith, our family, and our marriage very seriously.

And we would love to have you come hang out with us.

You can do that by going to dadtired.com and clicking the community tab that will link you over to a

closed group on Facebook where there's over a thousand guys from around the world who are just

sharing their sin, confessing sin, asking for encouragement, praying for each other, connecting with other guys in their
