Summary
In this episode, Jerrad shares a personal story that started with a haircut and ended in conviction. What began as a lighthearted moment with his son turned into a reflection on anger, joy, and what kind of father he’s becoming. It’s about how our family feels the weight of what we carry.
What You’ll Hear:
• Why joy is a fruit, not a feeling
• How sin, stress, and selfishness rob your joy
• Why joy matters more than you think in fatherhood
• What your kids learn when they see your serious side
• Why spending time with Jesus resets your soul
• How to give your family the joyful version of you
Tune in to find joy again, even in the mess of normal, everyday parenting.
