HELPING MEN find healing

Jerrad helps ordinary men heal so they can lead their families well.

He’s not a celebrity pastor. Not a theologian in a tower. Just a regular guy who hit rock bottom, met Jesus there, and decided to spend his life walking with other men who are ready to get real. Through his non-profit Dad Tired, Jerrad has become a voice for men who are done faking it and ready to become the husbands, fathers, and disciples God has called them to be.

With over 7.5 million podcast downloads, Jerrad has a way of making guys feel like they’re sitting across the table from a friend, not getting lectured, but getting challenged in all the right ways. His speaking style is funny, relatable, and soul-hitting, and men often say they walk away changed for life.

He’s also a best-selling author, with books that speak to the everyday struggles of men trying to lead their families without losing their souls. Whether through a podcast episode, a stage, or a handwritten note, Jerrad’s mission remains the same:
Strong families begin with healed men.

He lives in South Carolina with his wife and four kids, usually barefoot, chasing one of them through the yard, or cooking up something spicy in the kitchen.
