Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job and the next we feel like the worst mom on the planet

Which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel to be repeated over and over giving us hope in the everyday moments.

So, mama, whether you're sipping coal coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find truth, encouragement and laughter here.

This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome back to another episode of Risen Motherhood. Just in time for Father's Day, we are excited to have our very first male guest on the show.

To talk about some of the most frequently asked questions, we get about marriage and our husbands, including things like how to encourage them spiritually, specifically in the areas of Scripture reading and family leadership, family worship and more.

So, he is going to address a lot of really practical topics and it is so so interesting to listen in and hear what he has to say.

I know Lauren, I learned a lot from this show. So, our guest today is Jared Loops and he is from dad tired.

He started this ministry to point men to Jesus and to really help them understand how the gospel impacts their fatherhood.

So, it's kind of a similar counterpart ministry to Risen Motherhood. We get asked a lot, hey, what's something my husband can listen to or learn from about gospel-centered fatherhood.

So, dad tired is one of those ministries. Jared lives with his wife in Portland, Oregon. They have two kiddos and they just started foster care.

And then he also runs dad tired and he has been busy getting his devotional ready to be released. So, it's called Stop Behaving. It's a four-week 28-day devotional written for men to kind of take their family life and they're married seriously in light of the gospel.

So, you guys can check that out at his website dadtired.com. So, anyways, we know you guys will have lots of things to think about after listening to this interview today.

And hopefully it will help you celebrate and encourage your husband in light of father's day. So, here we go. Here's Jared.

Okay, well, hey, Jared. Thanks so much for joining us. We are so excited today to have Jared from dad tired. I know we've given you guys all a little bit of an intro, but this is the first mail we've had on our show.

And I feel like that's kind of a mile marker, Emily. I don't know.

Yeah, so thanks for being on.

Oh, my gosh. No pressure. I'll try to. You're not enough enough for every guy out there.

We're super excited because you've got a great podcast that we've promoted in the past and we think that every dad should listen to you. We often get asked from our listeners, hey, what can my husband listen to?

What's the risen motherhood counterpart? And so, we really feel like that's dad tired. So, we are thrilled to have you on the show today.

Can you just give us a little background about who you are, what's your family makeup, and then what is kind of the heart behind dad tired and who you hope to reach?

Yeah, so my name's Jared. I'm married to I married way up to a woman named Layla. She's a nurse and the mother of my children.
