What if the lie you're believing is the very thing keeping you from peace?
In this powerful and convicting episode, Jerrad sits down with bestselling author Gary Thomas to dismantle one of the most common, but rarely admitted lies Christian men believe: God owes me. Together, they talk about the quiet entitlement that sneaks into our faith, why peace feels so elusive, and how the Gospel offers something far deeper than comfort or success.
Jerrad and Gary explore how social media fuels discontent, how unspoken expectations erode intimacy with God, and why healing begins when we face our sin instead of hiding it. They share personal stories, biblical truth, and hard-won wisdom for men who want more than just behavior change, they want transformation.
This episode is a much-needed reminder: God’s not holding out on you. He’s already given you more than you deserve.

0:00.0 | Here at Dad Tired, we're really passionate about two things. |
0:02.3 | The first is the gospel, the good news that Jesus did not give up on us. |
0:05.6 | He did not leave us in our mess. |
0:07.2 | He doesn't abandon us, but instead he's made a way for us to be made right with him. |
0:11.3 | That's the good news of the gospel. |
0:12.8 | We talk about that a lot. |
0:13.7 | We also talk about healing because we believe that strong families begin with healed men. And when a man allows God to get into all the nooks and crannies |
0:22.9 | of his life, all the dark places, his childhood, his wounds, his sins, his habits, his secrets, |
0:29.3 | when God gets in there and starts to heal those things that he actually becomes the man that he's |
0:35.1 | proud of. Like, you can become a man that you're proud of because of the work God does in you. You can become the kind of man that your wife is proud of |
0:42.3 | and that your kids are proud of. And so we talk about that quite a bit. We also partner with churches |
0:48.0 | to talk to guys at local churches about these things. If you want to bring a dad-tired conference |
0:53.9 | to your church where we talk |
0:55.3 | about the gospel and healing for the men of your church in your local community, we would love to come |
1:00.1 | do that at your church locally. We are always looking for churches that can host us and do these one-day |
1:06.1 | conferences. If you want to learn more information on that, go to dadtired.com, click the conferences tab. |
1:11.5 | You can fill out a form and find out some more information on what it would look like for your |
1:16.6 | local church to host a one-day dad-tired conference. |
1:19.8 | We also have a dad-tired annual retreat filling up fast. |
1:22.5 | If you haven't signed up for that, make sure that you do before spots filled up. |
1:26.5 | Also want to thank my friends over at Classical |
1:28.2 | Conversations for sponsoring today's episode. We are a classical conversations family. We homeschool |
