0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. Just want to say thank you guys for tuning in so consistently.
0:05.2	You know, you could listen to podcasts about, I don't know, cars or finance or news or whatever, and that would be cool.
0:11.5	But the fact that you let me be part of your spiritual journey and hopefully pointing you closer to Jesus and that shaping the way that you love your wife and your kids and all that.
0:21.7	I just don't take it lightly, man. I'm really, really grateful to partner with you on this journey
0:26.9	as we stumble our way forward together. I did want to let you know that we have the dad tired store.
0:32.0	We're trying to redo all of it with some good, awesome gear. Lots of hats in there, sweatshirts, dad tired teas. It's a great
0:40.7	way to support the ministry. It helps us out. We're a non-profit, so it's a really helpful way.
0:45.0	But I also want to have stuff in there that you actually like wearing and it's really cool.

1:34.0	I want you there because I'm convinced that your soul will be filled, your tank will be filled. So
1:38.9	anyway, jump over the dad tired store, grab some gear, get a registration for the dad tired retreat. Yeah, excited
1:45.6	you're here, man. We'll jump right into the episode.
