Don’t Judge Your Faith by a Snapshot
2026/2/11 | 9 mins.
If you zoom into any single moment of someone’s life, you can draw the wrong conclusion.
David looks like a hero… until you keep reading.
Peter looks unshakable… until the denial.
Moses, Abraham—faithful men with very uneven stories.
And the same is true for us.
In this episode, Jerrad invites you to zoom out on your faith journey. Discipleship isn’t an “up and to the right” chart. It’s more like the stock market—ups, downs, setbacks, growth—all held together by a faithful God who finishes what He starts.
You don’t get to crown yourself in the good seasons.
And you don’t get to condemn yourself in the hard ones.
God isn’t surprised by your uneven growth. He knew exactly what He was getting when He saved you—and He’s still at work.
Homework for today:
Stop judging your faith by a snapshot. Zoom out. Speak truth out loud. And rest in the faithfulness of God.
Where Discipleship Really Happens
2026/2/10 | 5 mins.
Dadology Parenting Conference for Dads
Most of the discipleship we’ll ever do as fathers happens inside the four walls of our home.
In today’s Dad Tired Devotional, Jerrad reflects on how limited our hands-on time with our kids really is—and why that makes our homes sacred ground. He invites fathers into a simple, practical exercise: finding quiet time to walk through their home and pray over each space, each child, and their marriage.
This isn’t about fear or perfection. It’s about taking spiritual leadership seriously, inviting God’s presence into ordinary spaces, and recognizing that homes are often where the most important formation happens.
Remembering Death Brings Freedom, Not Fear
2026/2/09 | 8 mins.
Join us in San Diego for our Dad Conference: dadtired.com/dadology
We’re exhausted because we’re treating temporary things like they’re eternal.
In today’s Dad Tired Devotional, Jerrad reflects on how Scripture constantly reminds us that this life is short—and how remembering eternity actually brings freedom, not fear. From a simple moment at a red light to the words of James, Peter, and the Psalms, this episode is a quiet invitation to zoom out, regain perspective, and stop letting temporary stressors dominate your soul.
When we forget eternity, everything feels overwhelming.
When we remember it, wisdom begins to grow.
Why Vague Prayers Keep Men Stuck
2026/2/04 | 4 mins.
There’s a moment in Mark 10 where Jesus stops everything for a blind man crying out on the side of the road.
Bartimaeus doesn’t pray a polished prayer.
He doesn’t say the right words.
He just asks for mercy.
And when the crowd tells him to be quiet, he cries out even louder.
In this short devotional, we talk about why so many men stay vague with God, why the crowd often pressures us to keep it together, and why Jesus asks a simple but confronting question:
“What do you want me to do for you?”
You don’t need to clean it up.
You don’t need to stay quiet.
You just need to be honest.
Why Your Body Panics Even When Your Life Is “Fine”
2026/2/03 | 4 mins.
This week was heavy — not because something catastrophic happened, but because my body acted like it did.
Tight chest. Tense shoulders. Headaches. No sleep.
And that disconnect can be confusing for a lot of men. You know things aren’t a big deal… but your nervous system doesn’t agree.
In this episode, I talk about how trauma memory works, why even a small overlap with past pain can send your body into full survival mode, and why Jesus’ words in John 14:27 matter more than ever when your body feels out of control.
This isn’t about “calming down.”
It’s about receiving a kind of peace the world can’t give.
If your body feels stuck in high alert lately, this one’s for you.
