    Too many bros and dramatic pausing repeating the same poor me stories. Listen to one episode and that’s all you need to get the gist.

    Jerrad, I just want to send a message back to you from the void of podcasting. I know God is compelling you and leading you, but I just want to thank you for having the courage to share your journey. I’ve been listening to your podcast for a few years now as a wife and mom, and I have forwarded several episodes, hoping that the men in my life would listen to your experience and vulnerability and wisdom. Honestly, I was shocked to hear that you hit such a rock bottom, but I am so glad that you f... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Your Kids Need More Than a Perfect Dad
Q: What do you think stops a lot of guys from stepping into the role of spiritual leadership?
Busyness, exhaustion, fear of making mistakes, and a sense of inadequacy or not knowing how to begin are the main barriers. A lot of men feel overwhelmed by the lack of a clear template, so they delay or avoid taking proactive steps.
God Is Awake, So You Can Sleep (with Brett McCracken)
Q: How does sleep relate to Sabbath and the rhythms of rest in Scripture?
Sleep is presented as a biological necessity that complements Sabbath, reinforcing the idea that rest is a divine invitation and a way to acknowledge our creaturely limits, while Sabbath emphasizes a broader, trust-filled withdrawal from constant production.
God Is Awake, So You Can Sleep (with Brett McCracken)
Q: What practical steps do you recommend for a father wanting better sleep without sacrificing family responsibilities?
He suggests consistent sleep routines, natural light exposure, dark rooms, avoiding late caffeine or screens, wind-down reading, and integrating short liturgical moments before bed to center gratitude and dependence on God.
God Is Awake, So You Can Sleep (with Brett McCracken)
Q: How did you first connect sleep with theology and why did you choose to write about it?
McCracken explains that sleep is both a biological necessity and a theological symbol, revealing God's design and the limits of human independence, which led him to explore sleep as a path to gospel reflection.
Green Beret Shot in the Throat Reveals the Wound That Hurt Worse
Q: Was there any moment you considered abortion when you found out you were pregnant, and how did that decision shape your life?
He admitted it was a fleeting thought during adolescence, driven by fear and lack of direction, but chose life and later embraced responsibility and repentance through faith.
