What if the reason you keep reacting, withdrawing, or losing patience isnât about your presentâbut your past?In this episode, Jerrad unpacks Step 3 of the Seven Steps of Discipleship: Addressing Past Woundsâa practical and gospel-centered conversation about facing the pain weâve carried instead of burying it. With honesty and compassion, he walks men through why ignoring our wounds doesnât make them disappear; it just makes them leak into our marriage, our parenting, and our leadership.Through biblical truth, personal story, and real-world guidance, Jerrad helps you see that this step isnât about fixing yourselfâitâs about inviting God into the places youâve avoided for too long.With a mix of vulnerability and hope, this episode will help you:Recognize how unhealed wounds shape your reactions and relationshipsConnect the dots between your pain and the lies you believeLearn a simple 4-part process for addressing wounds (Scripture, Naming, Writing, Sharing)Discover how to speak gospel truth to yourselfTake the first step toward becoming a healed man who leads a healthy familyWhether youâve minimized your pain, masked it with work, or felt like your story doesnât matter, this episode is a reminder that strong families begin with healed menâand healing starts when you face whatâs been buried.Prayer:âFather, reveal the wounds Iâve tried to hide. Give me courage to bring them into the light, and remind me that Your grace is big enough to heal every part of my story.âScriptures Mentioned:Psalm 34:18James 5:16John 8:32Isaiah 61:12 Corinthians 12:9Resources & Links:đŻ Download the free Seven Steps of Discipleship PDFđĄ Register for the Dadology Parenting Conference (April 24â25, 2026 â San Diego)đ Support the mission: dadtired.com/donateđď¸ Learn more about Dad Tired Conferences Weâd like to thank Samaritanâs Purse and Operation Christmas Child and The Go Bible for sponsoring todayâs episode.
