What if friendship is one of the most powerful tools God gives us to battle confusion, discouragement, and spiritual despair? Kaleb teaches the story of the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24) to show how the presence of Jesus is often revealed when two believers walk together through grief and doubt. Drawing from Scripture, Church history, and stories of Christian martyrs, this episode highlights how friendship is not a side benefit of the Christian life—it’s a core part of God's design for your healing and strength.

Can a man truly grow in holiness without growing in friendship? Kaleb challenges the individualistic mindset many Christian men carry—and shows how friendship is not just helpful, but essential for spiritual maturity. Drawing from John 15, the life of Jesus, and examples like Augustine, he unpacks the truth that holiness and friendship are inseparably linked. If you’ve felt isolated, self-reliant, or unsure how to build meaningful relationships as a Christian man, this episode reframes friendship not as a luxury, but as a command of Christ—and a taste of heaven itself. What You’ll Learn: Why Jesus commanded friendship on the night of His betrayal How real friendship is a path to Christlikeness, not a distraction from it The danger of isolated spiritual leadership Why holiness without friendship is often just masked pride The healing power of brotherhood in seasons of mental, emotional, and spiritual struggle How friendship prepares us for heaven’s ultimate communion 📖 Scripture References: John 15:12–14 – “Greater love has no one than this…” Psalm 41:9 – Betrayal by a close friend Romans 5:8, John 14, the Farewell Discourse Resources and Links : Missionary Flights International – Aviation ministry serving in Haiti, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic- missionaryflights.org Spiritual Friendship by St. Aelred of Rievaulx Augustine’s Conversion (Confessions) Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com Read The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB…

While watching his son overcome fear at a waterpark, Kaleb found himself mentally stuck—replaying frustrations, doubts, and failures. Through John 14:27, he reflects on the kind of peace Jesus gives: not escape from life’s storms, but presence within them—a peace that interrupts fear and helps us stay grounded in what God is doing right in front of us. What You’ll Learn: How to break mental loops of fear, regret, and condemnation Why Jesus spoke peace to His disciples before His own suffering The difference between worldly peace and the peace of Christ How external perspective—God’s Word, a friend, or your spouse—can shatter inner turmoil Why recognizing God’s presence can restore joy in your fatherhood and faith 📖 Scripture References: John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you…” John 13–17 – The Farewell Discourse Romans 8:28 – All things work together for good Matthew 28:20 – “I am with you always” (implied) Practical Advice: Memorize John 14:27 Talk to your spouse or a trusted friend to break the loop Allow God’s Word to “kick in your front door” when condemnation creeps in Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com Read The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB…

Many wrestle with the image of God in the Old Testament—how can the same God who loves and weeps in the New Testament also command war and destruction? In this episode, Chris Hilkin tackles one of the hardest questions in the Bible: is the God of the Old Testament morally good? Chris walks through five biblical and historical reasons why the conquest narratives aren’t what modern readers often assume. You'll hear how ancient war language, the slow process of displacement, divine justice, and God's mercy all help make sense of these difficult passages—and why rejecting God on moral grounds requires a much deeper look at history and Scripture. What You’ll Learn: Why “utter destruction” often used hyperbolic war language, not literal commands How God’s judgment differs from human genocide or racism The role of divine justice in protecting future generations from corruption Why God has the moral authority to give and take life How to answer questions about Old Testament violence Scriptures References: Deuteronomy 7, 20; Joshua 6, 10; Judges 1–2 1 Samuel 15; Exodus 23; Job 1:21; Romans 13 Revelation 7.

What has God entrusted to you—and are you stewarding it well? In today’s episode we unpack a powerful biblical theme woven throughout the New Testament: stewardship.

Whether you’re a dad, husband, or just a guy trying to walk faithfully with Jesus, this episode will challenge you to reject passivity and embrace your God-given role as a steward. 🔑 Key Topics: What biblical stewardship actually means How Jesus contrasted faithful vs. wicked servants Paul’s urgent message to Timothy about responsibility A convicting story from early church history Why passion fades, but daily faithfulness endures 📖 Scriptures Mentioned: Matthew 24:45–51, 1 Timothy 1:11, 1 Corinthians 4:1–2, 1 Thessalonians 2:4, Galatians 2:7 Check out dwell for 25% OFF at: dwellbible.com/dadtired Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com Read The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB…

Many Christians—and critics—wrestle with this difficult question: does the Bible support slavery? Chris Hilkin discusses the most misunderstood and controversial aspects of the Old Testament. He confronts the assumption that God condones slavery by unpacking what the Bible actually says about servitude, justice, and human dignity. Through historical context, Hebrew language insights, and careful biblical interpretation, Chris explains how God’s law placed boundaries on power, offered protections to the vulnerable, and called His people to reflect His justice and mercy—even in broken systems. What You’ll Learn: Why the Hebrew Bible doesn’t have a category for race-based slavery How biblical servitude functioned like voluntary indentured labor What protections the Mosaic law gave to servants—including freedom, fair treatment, and legal rights How the New Testament condemns slave trading as sinful 📖 Scriptures References: Exodus 21:16 Deuteronomy 23:15–16 Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Exodus – Laws protecting servants 1 Timothy 1:10 – All are one in Christ; serve others in love Isaiah 61 Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com Read The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB…

A new year often brings the desire to reset—not just with goals and routines, but in how we lead, parent, and connect with God. In this episode, Kaleb Allen reflects on the emotional and spiritual weight many men carry coming out of the holidays: feeling off-rhythm, spiritually dry, or unsure how to re-engage. In reference to James 5:17 and Elijah’s prayer life, he calls Christian husbands, fathers, and leaders back to the foundation—fervent, honest, consistent prayer. He urges you to show up before God with your whole heart and trust Him to work through your weakness. What You’ll Learn: Why James 5:17 matters for men struggling to pray How early church history describes James as a man of consistent prayer What it means to pray like Elijah—with faith, urgency, and expectation Why prayer is hard—and how to reengage your heart when you feel numb The role of fervency, persistence, and spiritual travail in breakthrough Why your emotions can’t be trusted to lead your prayer life How real prayer engages your whole being, not just your words 📖 Scriptures References: James 5:17–18 1 Kings 18 Daniel 7 Matthew 28, John 13, Luke 24 Romans 8 1 Thessalonians 5 Luke 18 Sponsor: Dwell Bible App Listen to the Bible on your schedule with flexible plans here: dwellbible.com/dadtired Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com Read The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB…

Most Christian men want to be more consistent—more prayerful, more disciplined, more engaged. But what if the struggle isn’t really about discipline at all?

What You’ll Learn: Why discipline without conviction eventually fails How Daniel’s life shows the power of consistent devotion over decades The difference between spiritual guilt and genuine desire Why you may not have a “prayer problem”—you may have a belief problem How to write spiritual resolutions that actually shape your life Why the lion’s den was safer for Daniel than 30 days without prayer 📖 Scriptures References: Daniel 6 1 Kings 18 Romans 8, Revelation, John 13–17 Episode Resources: Jonathan Edwards’ Resolutions – 70 life commitments Edwards wrote at age 18 Challenge to List Your Own 10 Spiritual Resolutions Robert Murray McCheyne Bible Plan Sponsor- Range Leather - rangeleather.com/dadtired | Use code DADTIRED for 15% off Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.com Read The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB…
