About Episode Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VDz2Q6cuwsk Why do so many dads feel like they’re failing, even when they’re doing their best? In this honest and soul-stirring conversation, John Eldredge helps us trace the ache beneath our anger, our addictions, and our constant striving. He explains why most men are still chasing love and validation they never received, how childhood wounds shape adult behavior, and why true healing—not behavior modification—is the key to becoming the man your family needs. Jerrad and John unpack father wounds, mother wounds, emotional detachment, and the deep desire for adventure that often gets twisted into sin. If you've ever felt like you're just trying to survive—numbing your pain, doubting your worth, or holding your breath through life—this conversation will help you breathe again. What You’ll Learn: Why behavior change won’t work without soul healing How father and mother wounds still shape your adult life The two core needs every boy carries into manhood Why adventure and validation matter to your spiritual life How to begin healing old attachments and rewire your story What it looks like to fight for your family, your faith, and your future Mentioned in the Episode: Wild at Heart and Resilient by John Eldredge Experience Jesus (John’s new book on healing) Why boys need a thousand moments of delight from their dads How your unhealed story gets passed to your kids Jerrad’s punching bag story (and why it felt amazing) Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com Read Dad Tired and Loving It: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB Today's Sponsors: Tyndale Study Bibles + World Watch News  MORE Podcast Title Dad Tired
Podcast Description You’re tired. Not just physically; though yeah, that too. You’re tired in your bones. In your soul. Trying to be a steady husband, an intentional dad, a man of God… but deep down, you feel like you’re falling short. Like you’re carrying more than you know how to hold. Dad Tired is a podcast for men who are ready to stop pretending and start healing. Not with self-help tips or religious platitudes, but by anchoring their lives in something (and Someone) stronger. Hosted by Jerrad Lopes, a husband, dad of four, and fellow struggler, this show is a weekly invitation to find rest for your soul, clarity for your calling, and the courage to lead your family well. Through honest stories, biblical truth, and deep conversations you’ll be reminded: You’re not alone. You’re not too far gone. And the man you want to be is only found in Jesus. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about coming home.MORE Host Jerrad Lopes

About Episode SUMMARY Living in awe of the mystery of God and His ways is meant to be part of our normal daily life. Teaching us to enter into that mystery, with Him, is God's delight, and the way He makes provision for our every need. But our world, it's pace, technology, and near-instant access to information is proving to be a barrier to the intimacy with God we need to live. Through this conversation with John Eldredge, author of the new book "Experience Jesus. Really." you will see more clearly the assault against our intimacy with God, it's evil effects on the soul, and the rich provision He has for us if we will learn from our forebears how to once again live as "Ordinary Mystics". God's love, refuge, counsel, comfort, healing and deliverance are lavishly available to everyone who enters His presence in what He calls "the secret place".

About Episode We live in a world that has become disciples of the internet. We’re addicted to distraction, consumed by endless notifications, and we idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. But if all this connectivity is supposed to make life better, why are we more anxious, dissatisfied, and weary than ever? New York Times bestselling author and counselor John Eldredge joins me today to offer a way out of the digital overwhelm.  He introduces a path to experiencing real, deep communion with Jesus by making room for Him daily. Together, John and I will unpack why our souls are starved for intimacy with God, how to disconnect and break free from distraction, and simple practices to restore our childlike faith and wonder. Plus, be sure to listen to the very end because I’m sharing a beautiful song from Michael O’Brien that features a Scripture reading by Alistair Begg. It’s the perfect way to seal this life-giving message. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/347  Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

About Episode As we continue our series on “The People Who Shape Us,” John Eldredge joins us. He is someone who has shaped how we pray and ultimately how we relate with Jesus ourselves. He’s been a mentor and spiritual father to many, and has significantly shaped how we lead even our children to experience Jesus for themselves. In the beautiful, kind words of a spiritual father, John shares stories about how he healed while raising his own kids, and what that healing did for how he started to relate to and experience the love of Abba in his own life. He also describes his own spiritual journey as having walked through what he calls “wardrobe doors,” a nod to C.S. Lewis’ pathway into Narnia.  He also shares how to find the people who can shape you in your pursuit and experience of Jesus. The key question John leaves us with is: “What has worked for you?”   Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction to John Eldredge and how he’s shaped us 6:30 The beginning of John’s story to knowing Jesus 7:34 The first wardrobe door 11:47 John’s journey to healing and leading his family at same time 16:26 The second wardrobe door 23:23 The antidote to “rallying” and “living spent” 28:06 The fight for the human soul 33:02 The third wardrobe door 37:37 The beautiful ways Jesus transforms us and the ways we self-protect 57:12 How to find the people who can shape you  Show Notes:  Get a copy of John’s new book Experience Jesus.

About Episode I so wanted to title this episode "JOHN ELDREDGE TAKES US ON A MAGICAL MYSTICAL MISFIT TOUR..." But it was a little long. Not to mention way too alliterative. And I also didn't want to scare you off. Because the truth is, being a Mystic is not about being "magical". And it's also not about "wild woowoo, ecstatic visions or something" (that's a direct quote by JE, btw). So what IS it about then? Well, let's start with his (and by his I mean NY Times best-selling author and president of Wild at Heart Ministry's) newly released MUST READ book "Experience Jesus. Really." Cause the title kind of says everything. It's about the reality that experiencing the healing, joyful, playful, life-giving, restorative. wonder-filled presence of the living God (aka Jesus, just to keep us all on the same page) is available to ANYONE who wants it. Not just the few and the proud. But you. Me. Anyone really, who's willing to seek it, and make space for it, in our ordinary, every day lives. Cause who wouldn't want that? And then we talk about the how. How does one actually make space for these types of encounters in one's ordinary, every day life? That, my Misfit Friends, is what this podcast is about! Plus, we play a fantastic round of NAME THAT MYSTIC... Because what other Stupid Game would do for such a time as this? Find out more about the book...
