Spiritual Leadership: Achieving Success Despite Dad Fatigue

Remy Obayoriade: A great delve in to what being a Christian dad in the world means. The books gives many real world examples of how to be more of a disciple to lead your family in the way God wants you to lead.

Jacob T: I found the Dad Tired podcast through a friend a few months ago. Since then, my wife and I have welcomed our first baby girl into the world and I can't express it enough how practical everything in this book and podcast has been to my life and my family. Thinking I needed tips on how to be a good father and husband, I found more and more of the gospel on every page. This is the reason my family and I have decided to give to the dad tired ministry and why it has been so impactful for not just me but my family as well.

God has used Jarred and his family and their story to impact so many people, people they most likely will never meet... it's been such a blessing and I couldn't recommend this book more.

Since finishing it, I've bought this book 3 more times for friends and recent dads as well. This book is more than a book about being a dad and a husband, it points you back toward the gospel and that is why I couldn't recommend this book more! Thank you Jarred and everyone involved in producing this book.

JM: I was honestly hesitant about buying this book. I had followed DT on social media platforms for quite awhile and enjoyed content that was posted but pumped the brakes on ordering the book. I had read the great reviews and thought about it several times, but I’m a stepdad. And in the world’s eyes that usually doesn’t count. I felt like the book wasn’t meant for me and the topics covered wouldn’t apply or make sense to me. But I finally decided to order my copy and give it a read, and man! What an eye opener. Jerrad penned this book with wise counsel broken down into easy-to-understand lessons, using his real life examples to show that he’s been where we are and has the same struggles we do. Realized many bumps in the road and areas for improvement in my own Spiritual life that I hadn’t even took notice of before. Great stuff. If you’re like me and not sure if you need the book, you do!

Daunavan Buyer: This is a great book for dads. It often feels like a conversation with the author who is quite honest about some of the realities of fatherhood. It is also Biblically based and cantered around God’s word.
Very good.

Rob Carey: Jerrad has a great way of using humor to get serious points across. In several chapters, he starts with a story from his life (usually self deprecating), some of which will make you laugh out loud, then he builds on the story to illustrate the central truth of the chapter. Reading the book feels like you're just sitting on the bank, lines in the water, having a conversation with him.

So far as the content, I found it to be doctrinally sound and, as a dad myself with a 2 year old son, very helpful and encouraging. The central theme of the book boils down to the fact that it is our job as fathers first and foremost is to point our kids to Christ. That sounds simple enough, but the problem is that we are all imperfect men, so how do we do this without blowing it? I appreciate that Jerrad shares some of the (often embarrassing) mistakes that he's made and lessons learned along the way, all well-grounded in scripture. I definitely recommend this book.

fromthenorth: Great book for any dad who wants to learn how to lead his family. Jarred is honest and gives practical help. The book is very well written, I couldn’t put it down once I started it. I also began to listen to his podcast and it’s changed my whole outlook on being a godly husband and father.

New dad, old dad, dad to be, get this book and let it open your heart to be able to lead your family closer to Jesus.

Daniel Stephen Smallhorn: Just finished the book. Wise words for leading a life as the spiritual leader of your home. great ideas that i will certainly steal to use in my home. Worth a read if you are curious about how you ended up so dad tired and where to go from there.

M&PM&P: I have been listening to the podcast from Jerrad for a while so I was interested to find out if the book is as my expectations and it was. It is inspiring to hear and read "Dad Tired" encouraging men to be the spiritual leader in their home. This is something many men are struggling with. We need to grow in this area. It is a very practical book, packet with examples, advises and also humour. Helping us to grow as a father, husband and follower of Christ.

Shaun Skubal: A book long awaited in my life and in God’s perfect timing, sovereignty and providence it shows up on an iPhone in front of me. I am filled to the brim after reading these chapters, and know I’m not alone. Jerrad Lopes thanks brother for writing this and being a real brother to share your heart and your stories of life helping dads navigate the “Dad Tired” life. I have gained so much biblical truth and wisdom from these chapters that will point me back to Scripture.

I myself being a new dad to a handsome baby boy couldn’t really put a finger on how I was feeling, or what I should be doing to lead my 16 month old to see Christ in me. I was not lost (because in Christ I have been found) but this book has given me SO much direction rooted in Scripture and story.

I often say this book would be great just for Christian men, but I have big plans to hand this out to every Dad I know. And I loved how you shared the Gospel in the first chapter to set the tone for the whole book. And I do know through this book, people will see Christ, and want to follow him forever.

A timeless write. A forever read and a blessing to us all brother. Enjoy this day, and sorry...

Donna Garner: Just finished the book while my family is napping. First, but least important... I now feel more confident than ever to continue admitting that dumb and dumber is also my favorite movie. A few have already stated they feel like this book was written specifically for them. I feel the same. And I think that’s because this book continually points to the fact that Jesus is the only thing that matters. That’s all this book is. A few stories and a whole lot of truth. I’m admittedly not much of a reader. I’m 31 and I think I may have finished 2 books since middle school. Yeah. Middle school. (Spark notes was a Godsend in high school). This book was one of the 2 I’ve finished. And I’m pumped to read it again with my wife and some friends and it will be another reminder of how Jesus has worked in our lives at just the right time. Thank you Jerrad for being obedient, vulnerable, and honest. I’m honored to be part of this team of guys and humbled to be stumbling through this with all of you. And for those of you who find yourself in a tough spot and don’t know what to do, read this book, and listen to my friends Harry and Lloyd’s advice. “We’re in a hole! We’re just...
