Summary

Jon Tyson joins Jerrad to talk about the hidden battles Christian men face. They discuss themes from Jon’s new book Fighting Shadows, including shame, lust, apathy, and loneliness. Jon shares how Satan uses these shadows to keep men stuck in isolation and defeat. This is a call to step out of the dark and live with purpose, and brotherhood.

What You’ll hear:
• Why most men are battling shame and isolation
• How apathy and ambition often feed each other
• What real healing from lust looks like
• Why confession and community are essential
• How to build a life that fights for truth and light
• What Jesus offers when the shadows feel overwhelming

Tune in to name what’s holding you back and step into the light with courage.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. I apologize in advance for my voice.
0:04.9	We just got done doing a stop behaving conference, which is one of our dad tire conferences,
0:09.5	one day conferences. We were in New York and halfway through that, I could tell I was losing my
0:14.1	voice. So I apologize for sounding like death. I couldn't even laugh. It sounded like an 85-year-old
0:20.6	chain smoker. Anyway, I'm glad that you're here.
0:23.6	Today's going to be a great episode. A lot of good nuggets. I do recommend that you listen to this
0:28.2	with some headphones on, maybe just by yourself, aren't quiet. We talk about some heavy things or
0:33.2	maybe some things that might not be good for young kids around. So just keep that in mind as you're listening to today's episode.
0:39.5	I do want to thank my friends over at You Blockout for sponsoring today's episode.

1:01.4	A lot of guys just can't get good sleep for whatever reason, work or whatever. But man, if you can
1:05.4	control your sleep and how much sleep you get as a tired dad, my two-year-old last night was in my bed multiple times
1:12.4	because of just not feeling well or dreams or whatever. So I get it. It's not always possible,
1:17.2	but if you can control your sleep, you want to do it. Anyway, one thing I've done when I was trying
1:21.8	to take my sleep health really seriously when I was getting serious about that, I invested
1:25.9	in some blackout shades. I got them
1:27.7	specifically from my daughter's room so she would sleep well. They say that, you know, if you want
1:31.9	your kids to sleep well, it needs to be pitch black in the room. And then I ended up just loving
1:36.0	them and I've got them for different rooms in our house, but they're amazing. There's a company
