Summary

In this honest and gritty conversation, Shane Winnings and Jerrad talk about the ache behind every man’s desire to be a good dad—and why good intentions still leave so many guys feeling like they’re failing.

Shane shares his own story of growing as a father while leading a national movement to fight fatherlessness. They unpack how wounds from our own dads often fuel our desire to be better, but why motivation alone won’t cut it. From military discipline to spiritual revival, from being physically present to emotionally absent, this conversation gets real fast.

They also dive into Shane’s bold new campaign Make Dads Great Again, what’s sparking revival in Gen Z men, how fatherhood videos are breaking algorithms and breaking men open, and why the greatest threat to your calling might be your unchecked hustle.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Why proximity doesn’t equal presence in your home
  • How to stop “tinkering” and start truly engaging your kids
  • The real reason father wounds hurt so deeply
  • How to love your family in the way they actually receive love
  • Why being faithful at home matters more than platform or ministry success
  • How revival might already be happening—just not the way we expect

Mentioned in This Episode:

  • Shane’s viral Make Dads Great Again campaign
  • Wesley Huff’s surprising influence on Joe Rogan
  • Why Gen Z men are leading the way back to church
  • The trap of high-output, low-impact fatherhood
  • How to heal the pain that productivity can’t cover

For the past eight years, we've been doing our Dad Tired one-day conferences all around the country,

some even around the world. They've been so impactful, massively fruitful, but we've actually

redesigned them with all new content that aligns with our new mission, which is here at Dad Tired.

0:14.5

We believe that strong families begin with healed men, and we want to see men find healing

0:19.5

so that they can be the men that God has called

0:21.5

them to be. If you are interested in hosting one of these, maybe you are a pastor or a ministry

0:27.0

leader or volunteer, we would love to bring this new conference to your church. To get more

with us, and we can talk about what it would look like for you to host one of these conferences,

0:42.3

to help the men in your church and community find the healing that they need. Speaking of healing,

0:47.3

you cannot find healing, in my humble opinion, without having an encounter with Jesus,

0:52.1

and you can't really have an encounter with Jesus or get to

know him without being in the Word. And so I highly suggest that you check out my friends over at the

as you go throughout your day. And likely, if you're listening to this podcast, you're a dad who as you're trying to fall asleep have a million things running through your

1:15.2

head. How are you going to provide for the family? Are you doing a good job as a dad and husband?

1:20.3

How are you going to manage your own sin? Not manage your own sin, but deal with your own sin.

1:26.1

And so you've got all this stuff going on in your brain

1:28.6

as you're falling asleep, and it can be hard to fall asleep at times. The Dwell Bible audio app has a

feature. If you just type and search into their app, they actually have a sleep to scripture feature
