Description
What would your wife and kids say if someone asked, “Is your dad full of joy?”
In this episode, Jerrad gets honest about why so many dads feel grumpy, short-tempered, and exhausted, and why joy often feels out of reach. Sharing personal stories, biblical truth, and ten practical steps, he unpacks how Christian dads can move from frustration to deep joy rooted in Jesus.
With insight from Psalm 16:11 , Galatians 5:22 –23, and John 15:10 –11, you’ll discover:
- The hidden reasons dads lose joy (unconfessed sin, silent pressures, numbing out)
- Why God actually cares about your joy as a man
- How joy flows from God’s presence, obedience, and salvation
- Practical rhythms to restore joy in your home—like confession, gratitude, play, rest, and community
Whether you’ve been stuck in grumpiness or just long to be a more joy-filled dad, this episode will help you step back into the life God designed for you.
