Who or what gets your best attention, your best thinking, and your best mood?
In today’s Dad Tired Daily episode, Jerrad shares a convicting moment from a normal drive to school with his kids. After dropping them off, he realized he had not said a single word to them the entire drive. Not because he was angry. Not because he didn’t love them. But because his mind was consumed with work, stress, responsibilities, and the long list of things he needed to get done.
That moment led to a deeper question: are the people God has called us to love getting our best, or just our leftovers?
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 4:23 to guard our hearts, and Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful. We may say we value our family, our faith, and our calling, but our attention, mood, calendar, and thoughts often tell the truth.
This episode is a simple, honest challenge to pay attention to what is getting the best of you.
Ask yourself today:
Who gets my best attention?
Who gets my best thinking?
Who gets my best mood?
Are those the people and things God has actually called me to?

Jerrad sits down with Tim Timmons for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast. 
Tim shares about living with stage 4 cancer for over 25 years, the exhaustion of trying to “work for God,” and how he’s learning to simply wake up each day and join Jesus.
Together, they talk about:
Contentment vs surrender
Parenting and repair
The pressure Christian men carry
Living sober-minded in a distracted world
Why the Kingdom of God threatens our own kingdoms
This episode feels like sitting across the table from a wise friend who’s been through some things.

In this episode, Jerrad reflects on Jesus’ words in Matthew 5 and what it really means to take sin seriously. 
After nearly two years off social media, he shares how removing constant digital input transformed his mind, reduced temptation, and brought a level of peace he didn’t know he was missing.
This isn’t about rules.
It’s about freedom.
If something in your life is pulling you away from who God is calling you to be, maybe the answer isn’t managing it better…
Maybe it’s removing it altogether.

Most men don’t hate work because they’re lazy.
They hate work because they’re misaligned.
In this conversation with Ken Coleman, we talk about why so many men feel stuck, how to find clarity in your calling, and what it looks like to pursue meaningful work without sacrificing your family.
If you’ve been feeling confused, burned out, or unsure of your next step—this episode will help you take one.
Clarity → Confidence → Courage.

In today’s Dad Tired Daily, Pastor Kaleb Allen wraps up a powerful 3-part series by walking through John 4—the story of the woman at the well.
Jesus challenges more than just her past… He challenges our perspective, our prejudices, and our purpose.
While the disciples are focused on physical food, Jesus reveals something deeper:
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent me.”

What if the reason your soul feels tired… isn’t because you’re doing too much—
but because you’re not doing what you were made for?
This episode is a wake-up call for men who feel stuck, bored, or spiritually dry.
In this episode:
Why we quietly write people off—and how Jesus doesn’t
The hidden “prejudice” that can live in a believer’s heart
What Jesus meant by being nourished through mission
Why comfort and ease are leaving so many men empty
How to rediscover purpose through the work God has given you
Key takeaway:
Your soul was never meant to live on comfort—it was meant to come alive on mission.
Lift your eyes. The harvest is right in front of you.
