Dad Tired and Loving It

Stumbling Your Way to Spiritual Leadership

By: Jerrad Lopes

Narrated by: Jerrad Lopes

Have the day-to-day realities of being a dad and husband left you frustrated or just plain worn out? You're not alone. Jerrad Lopes felt that way too...until he started blogging about his struggles and discovered thousands of other men who want to be good husbands and fathers but don't know where to start.

In Dad Tired and Loving It, you will learn that spiritual leaders:

• Realize their story isn't the story - it's all about Jesus
• Point their wives, children, community, and world toward God
• Stumble their way through spiritual leadership rather than doing nothing
• Seek humility rather than strive for perfection

When you begin to understand the bigger picture of God's purpose for you in your marriage and family, you'll see that the good news of Jesus makes it possible for you to love and lead without fear and discouragement. Get equipped and encouraged as you become the man God is calling you to be - even when you're dad tired.

What a powerful book

I LOVED this book, Jerrad does a great job challenging us to pursue Jesus, lead our wives and family and focus on the kingdom. Such a great reminder to keep Jesus the main thing in our lives. Thank you Jerrad

awesome book

Loved the book will definitely be referencing back to it and rereading it. Loved it.

Easy listen, practical advice

Enjoyable easy listen. Stories are relatable and made me smile and laugh often. The stories all relate well to the topics and can be applied easily to daily life providing a new perspective. Highly recommend for dads, moms and the whole family.

Phenomenal

A great book for those seeking to grow closer to Jesus and hearing a few ways from another dad and husbands perspective on how to do so. Jerrad does a great job pointing you towards Jesus and new ways to help you grow and ways to help you and your family to grow closer to the lord, what a great book.

Awesome book!

Jerrad does an awesome job! I absolutely love this Book! Definitely going to recommend this book to every Dad I meet!

Relatedable/Well Done

I liked everything about it, I think this book covers the major things most fathers most likely fail to do because we naturally want to be subject matter experts and when we’re not, it can be tougher to lead in this situations so I thought it was good.

Some misguided ideas, some good ideas

The author claims the spirit told him to quit his job, he then had to give up his home, and put his family in a financial peril became he was unemployed and was no longer able to provide for his family. "If a man doesn't work, let him not eat." 2 Thess 3:10. Ephesians 4:28: “...but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” He failed to follow the script and failed his wife here. You are not going to have some divine guidance that contradicts the Bible (Galatians 1:8-9).

There are some good ideas in the book. But don't be fooled into thinking that your stupid idea is the spirit guiding you or some divine direction. It's just you, being dumb. Especially if it is in contradicting to the Bible.

Also, being a leader means to actually lead. To carry the burden on your back, to shield and protect. To love and to guide. Your wife has to babysit you, guide you and stop you from impulsive and poorly planned decisions. You literally put yourself into a situation that could result in your death because you can't think ahead. Or make a decision where you put your family in financial jeopardy. You need to slow down and do a better job thinking before acting.

Great for dads!

Loved this book. I find myself in a very similar season of life with a 7 year old boy and five year old girl. Thank you Jerrad.

Father to Be

this was a great book to listen to on my
drive to work in the morning. strong positive reminders are really important as I step forward into fatherhood and have the opportunity to be the best I can be to my wife and family in the name of Jesus.

Great Book

I pulled a lot of really great insight from this book. Absolutely amazing! I feel like there are a lot of great points that I’ll be able to bring with me into my marriage and my fatherhood.
