    Q & A with Chris 003

    In this special Q&A episode, Chris Hilken tackles listener-submitted questions with raw honesty and biblical insight. This episode is part of a new segment on the Dad Tired podcast, called Q&A with Chris, where listeners can anonymously submit their burning questions. Jerrad Lopes curates a range of questions, aiming to get Chris’s off-the-cuff thoughts. Episode Highlights: What’s Off-Limits in the Bedroom for Christian Couples? Chris opens with a challenging question: is there anything off-limits for a Christian husband and wife in the bedroom? He offers a deep theological answer, explaining how sex within marriage reflects the union between Christ and His church, which means certain acts may break this analogy and should be avoided. He talks about the importance of mutual consent and avoiding harm while addressing the limits of biblical intimacy. Time Stamp: 00:01 - 04:20 Is Church Membership Biblical? Chris passionately argues for the importance of church membership, explaining why commitment to a local body is essential for spiritual growth. He contrasts modern consumeristic church culture with the early church’s structure, explaining how membership fosters accountability, biblical discipline, and stronger church communities. Time Stamp: 04:49 - 11:37 The Baptism of the Holy Spirit Explained Diving into one of the more theologically complex questions, Chris explores the idea of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Time Stamp: 13:45 - 16:36 Burial vs. Cremation: Is There a Biblical Stance? Chris answers whether there’s a biblical mandate regarding burial versus cremation. Drawing from personal experience and scriptural principles, he explains why Christians have the liberty to choose either option without fear that cremation undermines the resurrection.

    Kaleb's Corner: Finding Jesus in the Wilderness of Your Soul 003

    In this episode of Kaleb’s Corner, a segment of the Dad Tired podcast, Kaleb Allen hosts part three of the six-week series titled Finding Jesus in the Wilderness of Your Soul. In this episode, Kaleb dives into the theme of how Jesus’ wilderness experience offers a roadmap for navigating the trials and challenges we face today. As Christian dads, learning to lead ourselves and our families well through tough seasons is essential, and Kaleb offers insights, encouragement, and practical steps to do just that. Episode Highlights: Wilderness: The Crossroads of Growth or Stagnation Kaleb kicks off by explaining how wilderness seasons can either shape us into stronger followers of Christ or leave us crippled by fear and frustration. He shares personal reflections on how wilderness moments challenge our faith and force us to choose between pressing forward or retreating in discouragement. Time Stamp: 00:14 - 02:40 Engaging God in the Midst of Spiritual Fog Kaleb encourages listeners not to "check out" during difficult times but to press deeper into God. He discusses the importance of wrestling with our emotions, praying, journaling, and talking to trusted friends, using these wilderness seasons as opportunities for spiritual growth and soul-searching. Time Stamp: 02:40 - 05:02 Jesus in the Wilderness: An Example of Endurance Kaleb unpacks Jesus’ experience of being led by the Spirit into the wilderness, showing how He modeled endurance through prayer, fasting, and resisting temptation. Jesus’ journey reminds us that even when we feel spiritually dry, God’s purpose is at work in us. Time Stamp: 05:02 - 07:27 Three Temptations: Relevance, Spectacle, and Power Kaleb walks listeners through the three temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, drawing on insights from theologians like Augustine and Henry Nowen: Relevance: The temptation to turn stones into bread, fulfilling immediate needs but missing the deeper spiritual purpose. Spectacle: The temptation to throw Himself from the temple and be admired for a grand display of power. Power: The temptation to bow down and gain authority over all the kingdoms of the world. Time Stamp: 07:27 - 16:57 Resisting the Temptation of Relevance Kaleb explores how the temptation to prove our worth to others can creep in during wilderness seasons. He offers practical advice on resisting the need to be "relevant" in the eyes of the world and instead finding our value in God’s love and truth. Time Stamp: 16:57 - 19:18 Choosing to Be Faithful Instead of Spectacular Kaleb emphasizes that true success in the wilderness isn’t found in being extraordinary but in being faithful. He challenges listeners to reject the cultural pressure to "prove" themselves through grand gestures and instead focus on daily faithfulness to God’s calling. Time Stamp: 19:18 - 24:02 Embracing Humility: The Temptation to Power Kaleb addresses the temptation to seek control or power as a way to validate ourselves. He explains that true fulfillment comes not from climbing the ladder of success but from walking in humility and surrender to God’s will. Time Stamp: 24:02 - 28:49 The Wilderness as a Place of Growth Kaleb concludes by reframing the wilderness as a place of training, where God shapes our character and strengthens our faith. He encourages dads to embrace these challenging seasons as opportunities to become more like Jesus and lead their families well through faith and perseverance.

    Jerrad Lopes of Dad Tired and singer-songwriter Matthew West team up for a heartfelt and impactful conversation. The pair dive into fatherhood, faith, and how their journeys have shaped them as husbands, dads, and men of God. Highlights: Blending Two Worlds: Dad Tired Meets The Matthew West Podcast Jerrad Lopes and Matthew West kick off the episode with a lighthearted exchange about their first-ever podcast crossover. They reflect on how they met backstage at one of Matthew’s concerts and how their connection with mutual friend Micah Tyler led to this collaboration. The Birth of Dad Tired: Jerrad's Journey Jerrad shares the raw story behind the creation of Dad Tired, recounting the darkest season of his life when he was ready to walk away from ministry, marriage, and fatherhood. A moment of grace from his wife shifted everything, leading to a viral blog post and the start of the Dad Tired movement. Marriage in Crisis: How God's Kindness Saved It In a vulnerable moment, Jerrad opens up about the time he considered divorce, only to be stopped in his tracks when his wife shared how she had been praying for his heart to return to Jesus. This moment was the catalyst for restoring his marriage and reigniting his faith. Why Vulnerability Matters: Encouraging Dads to Be Real Matthew and Jerrad discuss the power of vulnerability, especially for men, and how sharing their struggles and emotional moments—like crying as dads—can create a deeper connection with their families and audience. They swap stories about shedding tears while dropping their kids off at school and the emotions that come with being a father. Handling Criticism and Staying Focused on the Mission Both hosts reflect on their experiences with online criticism and cancel culture, particularly when stepping into sensitive topics. Jerrad shares his strategy for staying focused on the mission of pointing people to Jesus, despite the noise of negativity. Matthew recounts a time when he faced backlash for a song and how his family rallied around him. Raising Kids in a World Full of Lies: Discipleship and Truth Jerrad shares his approach to discipling his kids in today’s culture. He emphasizes the importance of teaching them to recognize truth according to God’s design while also instilling joy in their hearts. Both hosts talk about how they strive to create homes filled with joy and faith, despite the challenges of parenting in today's world. Spiritual Leadership: Life-on-the-Go Discipleship Jerrad explains his philosophy on discipleship, focusing on Deuteronomy 6’s "as you go" approach. He encourages dads to look for everyday, spontaneous moments to disciple their kids, rather than feeling pressure to have polished, planned devotionals. Matthew chimes in, reflecting on his own experience of balancing ministry, family, and fatherhood. Exciting New Ventures for Both Hosts Jerrad and Matthew close the episode by discussing their latest projects. Jerrad announces his role as the new co-host of Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger and his upcoming daily devotional podcast for men on the K-Love platform. Matthew reflects on the journey of balancing music, podcasting, and fatherhood, expressing his gratitude for the encouragement Jerrad gave him to keep his podcast going.
