How's it going guys, Jared Lopes, back here with you on the Dad Tired podcast.

It's good to be with you.

Hey, this week, earlier this week, I was trying to go to sleep,

and I just had a bunch of ideas and thoughts running through my head.

And one of the thoughts was

I wonder if a couple would be willing to come on to the podcast and just share with us what they're

currently dealing with, not like a testimony of like where

they were and where God's brought them, which is awesome, those are amazing, but I want to

just like some, a couple in the thick of it and so I just reached out on all the social media channels I reached

out on the Instagram page and Dad Tired Clothes Group but then I also reached out in the

we have a closed marriage group on Facebook called Tired and True.

If you're not part of that, you should definitely come be part of that.

But I reached out on all those places and was just like hoping to get somebody,

hoping one person would respond and say yeah we would be brave enough to

come on and I was super surprised I kid you not when I tell you I had hundreds of

people hundreds of couples write in and say me and my husband or me and my wife are going through it.

Like we're in the midst of it and we could just really use some help.

And the thing is I've spent the last 13 years walking through life with couples.

I'm not a counselor. I'm not licensed counselor. I don't have any long fancy

letters behind my name or fancy degrees. I'm just a pastor and so as a result

of that I've had a chance to like walk through life with a bunch of people and so these people

will reach out and say we can we process life with you?
