Summary

What if the part of you that you hate the most is the part God is most eager to heal?

In this episode, Jerrad opens up about a moment that nearly ended him, and the journey that brought him back. He shares a powerful story from his two-week intensive recovery experience, including the surprising object that became a symbol of grace and compassion. If you’ve ever carried shame, hidden pain, or felt like your sin disqualifies you from being loved, this conversation is for you.

Whether you’re a husband, father, or man who’s just tired of pretending, this episode is an invitation to drop the shame and discover the healing God offers to the parts of you that feel unlovable.

What You’ll Learn:

Why shame makes healing so hard, and what finally breaks its grip.
The powerful metaphor that helped Jerrad see himself through God’s eyes.
How childhood wounds shape adult sin patterns.
What Jesus actually thinks about your sin (hint: it’s not what you assume).
The difference between guilt, shame, and compassion.
A fresh way to view your struggles, and the small boy inside still seeking safety.

You look at your sin with that disgust and you hate it about yourself. There are parts of you that you hate about yourself. And dude, I know that feeling so, so well that so well that it almost ended me, that there were things
0:22.0	about me that I hated so much that I was willing to give up my life, to leave behind and to give up
0:26.8	everything that I loved because that shame was so, so heavy on me.
0:31.1	Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast.

1:16.9	But when you download it, you can pick the voice that you want to use. Again, it's puts listening first.
