In today's episode of the Dad Tired Podcast, I talk about what it looks like for us as dads to suffer well and how to teach our children how to suffer well before we dive into that very uplifting topic.

I want to thank my friends over at Samaritan Ministries for sponsoring today's podcast.

You might have a broken bone, cancer, medical emergency, but you don't have to be limited by network restrictions when it comes to choosing your healthcare provider.

There is another way. Samaritan Ministries is not insurance.

It's a community of Christians paying one another's medical bills, where members are free to choose their doctor, their treatments, and the hospitals that best meet their own needs.

Samaritan Ministries connects hundreds of thousands of Christians across the nation who care for one another through prayer, encouragement, and financial support for their medical needs.

Samaritan Ministries has a biblical solution to healthcare that connects you to other Christians who support you spiritually and financially when you experience a medical need.

It's affordable and you can join today.

Here's how it works. When a medical need arises, you choose the healthcare providers and treatments that work best for you and your family.

Medical bills are then sent to Samaritan Ministries and they notify members to pray and to send you money for your shareable bills.

The money received is used to help pay your medical bills. They have tons of online resources available to you to help you choose your provider, to get help for prices on medical procedures.

They'll even give you 24-7 access to medical professionals by phone or email to get medical advice before you visit the doctor, which is going to save you time and money.

I think this is what the writers of the New Testament meant when they said bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ, Galatians 6-2, or when Philippians 2-4 says let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interest of others.

If you're interested in becoming part of this amazing community, you can go to Samaritan Ministries.org slash dad tired.

Again, that Samaritan Ministries.org slash dad tired.

I know many of you guys who are listening today often will jump into the dad tired podcast as a way to just try to grow your own journey as a father.

You're trying to step up and to lead better to be a better husband, a better father and a better disciple, which that alone man, that's just amazing.

I want to commend you on that. There are a lot of guys who don't care.

I just overheard somebody talking to somebody else. I was like in a passing conversation, I overheard somebody talking about how the father of her particular child just didn't care at all to be involved in her child's life and so she is a single mom.

And so the fact that you're engaged man, you're there, you're showing up for your kids and now that you're listening to a podcast like this and you're doing your best to be the father that God has called you to be.

It just says so much about you man. God is like proud of you for that.

So just hear that the fact that you're stepping into this God does not take that lightly. He will honor you and your efforts and I really believe that you'll get to see the fruit of the seeds that you're planting now.
