Summary

Dad Tired: Helping Men Lead Their Family Well Season 3 | Episode 1 How come sometimes as dads we can have the most patience in the world with our kids, and yet the next day the most simple things set us off? Do you sometimes feel like you’re turning into a grumpy old man? Do you feel like since you’ve had kids that your fuse has somehow grown shorter? The truth is, you’re not alone. And the good news is, you don’t have to be doomed to a life grumpiness. The Gospel can even give our “grumpiness” hope. If you feel like you’ve become a short-tempted, quickly angered, and overall grumpy guy, this episode is for you.   Be sure to check the show notes for the verses mentioned in this episode, weekly updates in Dad Tired, and links to our latest resources.
