When things aren’t going well at home, we feel it. The toll that the pace and added emotional pain of our day has on our marriages and most important relationships can feel overwhelming, and even unmanageable.

This week’s episode is the beginning of the powerful, life-changing stories you’ll hear as we journey through each of the decisions. 

In this episode, we interview Jerrad and Leila Lopes about their rock bottom moment as a family, and the one decision each of them made to begin their ascent back to one another. Prepare yourself. These two were serious about their decisions!

Jerrad and Leila are proof that our circumstances do not need to remain unmanageable. As we like to say, you can’t eat an elephant in a day. Leila’s one decision, one-bite-at-a-time mentality, got the process started. Sometimes, all it takes is just one person.

Leila’s one decision was the catalyst Jerrad needed to begin making his own decisions and move him from a place of deep brokenness, to a thriving ministry today.

Out of his brokenness he founded DadTired.com, a non-profit ministry focused on equipping men to lead their family well. He hosts the weekly Dad Tired Podcast, listened to by hundreds of thousands of men from around the world. 

Jerrad and Leila live in Portland, Oregon with their three children. Their story will inspire you to name your one decision and get moving in a new direction!
