Summary

In this episode, Jerrad speaks directly to busy dads who feel stretched thin. He shares how the chaos of life, especially in a new season, can cause us to drift from what matters most. Jerrad walks through how to refocus on your mission, identify distractions, and start making space for what God has actually called you to do.

What You’ll hear:
• How to reset your priorities when life feels blurry
• Why physical clutter often reflects inner clutter
• How Jesus modeled saying no to good things for the sake of the mission
• Why most distractions aren’t sinful but still harmful
• A simple way to evaluate your time and get clarity
• How to craft a short, clear mission statement for this season

Tune in to get focused, clear, and back on track with the mission God has given you as a husband, father, and disciple.
