Summary
Jerrad sits down with pastor and author Levi Lusko to talk about parenting, friendship, and what it means to be present in a lonely world. Levi shares about his relationship with his dad, how that shaped his own parenting, and why real friendship takes more than good intentions.
What You’ll Hear:
• Why friendship is essential for spiritual and emotional health
• What Levi learned from his dad about presence and integrity
• How loneliness is harming families and communities
• Why men often don’t talk about what they’re really feeling
• What the Bible says about brotherhood and connection
• How to help your kids face fear, loss, and anxiety with faith
Tune in to see why friendship is more than a feeling and a fight worth showing up for.

| 0:21.5 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. Before we jump in, I want to thank my friends over at Samaritan Ministries for sponsoring today's episode. I have two questions for you as we jump in. The first one is, how are you paying for your family's health care? And the second one is, how is that working out for you? If it's working perfectly, then great. You probably don't need to listen to this. But if not, then listen closely because I do have a solution, a biblical solution, and it's called Samaritan Ministries. Samaritan Ministries is a community of Christians paying one another's medical |
| 0:26.3 | bills. It's not insurance, but it is assurance that you're part of a health care sharing |
| 0:31.1 | community where members care for one another spiritually and financially when a medical |
| 0:36.2 | need arises. Here's how it works. There's no networks. So when a medical need arises. Here's how it works. |
