What's up, guys? I'm Jared Lopes and you're listening to the Dad Tired Podcast, where I'm helping

everyday families learn how to follow Jesus and everyday life.

How's it going, guys? Jared Lopes back here with you on the Dad Tired podcast. It's good to be with you.

Thank you for those that are subscribers and you are longtime listeners. I appreciate you tuning in each week.

And for those of you, that's your first time. Welcome. Glad to have you. Dad Tired is a nonprofit ministry committed to providing resources to men, husbands and dads that are just trying their best to be.
