Summary
In this episode, Jerrad talks with Laura Wifler, co-founder of Risen Motherhood, about what it really means to parent through the lens of the gospel. They discuss marriages, emotional labor, disability, and what it looks like to lead your home with grace and intentionality.
You’ll learn:
• Why unseen tasks in the home matter so much to your wife
• How gospel-centered parenting changes your tone and goals
• What Laura wishes every husband understands
• How to grow in emotional leadership as a dad
• What it means when God calls you to a ministry you didn’t choose
This is a conversation for husbands who want to better understand their wives, love their kids well, and let the gospel shape every part of family life.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. You may or may not know this, but we are a non-profit, |
| 0:04.9 | and at the end of every year, we try to raise funds that will send us into the following year. |
| 0:09.6 | You may not know this, but we have 174 guys who donate every month to this ministry. |
| 0:16.3 | They are the guys who help keep us going. We have tens of thousands of listeners, millions of downloads, |
| 0:22.3 | and 175 guys who have chipped in every month to help us keep going. One thing I'm going to ask is |
| 0:29.5 | if you consider yourself part of the dad tired community, this has been helpful for you at any way, |
| 0:33.9 | whether you've read a book or you listen to the podcast, you're part of the community, |

| 1:11.8 | massively helpful. Also want to tell you guys about my friends over at Samaritan's purse. |
| 1:16.4 | I am a huge, huge fan of them. They have a project called Operation Christmas Child. They do this |
| 1:21.6 | every year. Millions of kids have gotten into discipleship relationships, heard the gospel, made |
| 1:26.9 | decisions for Christ |
| 1:27.9 | because of Operation Christmas Child. You've probably heard about it or seen it at some church |
| 1:31.9 | near you. They are huge. This is a shoebox. I'm actually, if you're watching on YouTube or |
