Episode 174 | Jerrad Lopes | Dad Tired

On today’s episode, we chat with Jerrad Lopes!  A pastor for more than a decade before launching the Dad Tired movement, Jerrad Lopes is also a sought-after speaker at men’s ministry events around the country. His books include  Dad Tired and Loving It ;  The Dad Tired Guide to Basic Bible Study ; Stop Behaving ;   and Fully Engaged.  Lopes and his wife Leila live in South Carolina with their four children. The purpose of Dad Tired is to be a reminder that I don’t have to live up to the unspoken pressure to be perfect for my family and I don’t have to get buried in shame when I’m not perfect,” Lopes says. “Men need to feel the grace of being able to rest in someone better, and that’s Jesus. He lifts the weight off my shoulders so I can lead by being the first one to repent; to confess sin; to humbly admit when I make mistakes; and to be the first one to lead my family to our Better Hero.”    My Daddy’s Hero  is the latest in a range of Dad Tired offerings designed to help men embrace their responsibilities as spiritual leaders. For nearly a decade, the Dad Tired movement has cultivated a unique community of men around the world united under one mission—to fall in love with Jesus and help their families do the same.   dadtired.com @dad.tired christianmusicguys.com @christianmusicguys
