0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Dad Tired podcast. Glad that you are here. Hey, if you haven't jumped into our family leadership program, we would love to have you. I talked to a bunch of students, past students this last week and I asked them why they joined and what stuck out to them the most. And the number one thing that came up was guys saying, I feel like my wife was the spiritual leader of our home for years and years. And I wanted to step into that |
0:22.1 | role. I wanted to take that off of her shoulders and start to become the man that I feel like |
0:26.4 | God is calling me to be. So if you feel that, if you're like, man, my wife has actually carried |
0:31.0 | that baton in spiritual leadership. And I haven't really led us in that area. And you want to at least |
0:36.1 | team up with your wife in that way to lead your kids |
0:39.4 | to lead your family to Jesus. This program is going to give you really, really practical tools to do that. |
0:44.8 | It's also going to connect you with other like-minded men, which is really, really hard to find. |
0:49.0 | If you want to jump in, you can go to dadtire.com, click the family leadership program, and you can dive into the next cohort. |

1:16.0 | have referred to as princess since I first met her, still do, for 38 years. We have nine kids. We're on |
1:22.9 | the tail end. We've got the last two that are still in the household, one in college, one in high school. |
1:29.1 | And by vocation, I have been a dentist overseeing now two clinics and been into the ministry |
1:36.3 | field doing men's ministry for about 20 years, part of a pastoral elder team. And a couple |
1:43.6 | years ago, we made the move. I felt God was saying, |
1:47.1 | okay, this is your next step. We're going to move out to, instead of helping to lead the church, |
1:52.2 | we're going to try and have an impact on the community. And so my desire, I've loved it doing |
1:57.7 | men's ministry for so long. And I see just such a great need and an impact |
2:02.2 | that a real godly man can have as an impact wherever he goes. |
2:08.0 | But one of the things that I really noticed in doing men's ministry for so long is that |
