The most transformational moment in a young man's life is when he is seen, accepted, and welcomed into manhood. As a father of three sons and a man who has walked through his own journey of becoming, I've seen how powerful it is to receive that blessing—from a father or a man you respect. Too many men are aging without ever feeling like they've become men. They carry a painful emptiness, unsure of their identity, still longing for validation.That's why we created the Rite of Passage at BraveCo. In 2024, we added a 3.1-mile Tough Mudder course to our annual BraveCo Conference. We thought it'd be a challenge—but it became the most powerful moment of the week. Watching grown men speak life into boys—boys who might not even have a father at home—was deeply moving. It wasn't just a physical test; it was a spiritual transition. And now, for BraveCo 2025, we're going bigger: 300 young men, stepping into purpose, identity, and strength.If you've ever longed to be that kind of man—or to raise one—I invite you to step up. Bring your son. Invite the boy who's fatherless. Help us reverse the curse that has plagued this generation. Together, we can rebuild a culture where men are known, empowered, and free. You don't want to miss this. BraveCo 2025 may be the turning point in your story, too.ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.

The way we live will show the next generation the love of the Father. By turning our hearts to the Father, we can turn our hearts to each other.   "And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers..." - Malachi 4:6 If you would like to partner with us, please visit: https://myloh.church/give

Text: Proverbs 23:10-11 (ESV) 10 Do not move an ancient landmarkor enter the fields of the fatherless,11 for their Redeemer is strong;he will plead their cause against you THE REDEEMER OF THE FATHERLESS The sin committed here is something like a modern person altering a map, uprooting surveyor's stakes, or moving a fence. The Lord specifically forbade this (Deut 27:17). Even worse than this cheating someone out of property is to defraud someone already disadvantaged, such as those who have lost a father. (see Proverbs 22:22; 31:8–9). James writes, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world" (Jas 1:27). God, however, promises a Redeemer. He is someone associated with a family member's obligation to care for a destitute relative (Ruth 4:6). Clearly, the scriptures indicate that God Himself is in favor of the poor. Thus, it's reasonable to see this Redeemer as a reference to the Lord Himself. Deut 10:18 says, "He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing." Psa 10:17–18 states, "O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more." As the Redeemer of the fatherless, the Lord opposes those who maltreat them. In the book of Ruth, we read about Boaz, Naomi's relative, who took the role of a kinsman redeemer to buy Naomi's field and marry her daughter-in-law Ruth (Ruth 4:7–10). Also, King David is an example of kindness to a fatherless, helpless person. He sent for Mephibosheth, Jonathan's disabled son, and welcomed him into the palace. He set a place at the table for Mephibosheth, gave him land, and instructed Saul's servant Ziba and his sons to work the land for Mephibosheth. (2 Sam 9:1–13). Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast -------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

On this episode of The People's Podcast, we're joined by Jameel E. Shabazz — entrepreneur, small business owner, and a strong advocate for self-sufficiency and ownership. Our conversation dives deep into the realities and challenges of fatherless homes, the impact of social conditioning, and the role economics play in shaping our communities. Jameel shares his personal perspective and offers insight on how we can empower ourselves and each other through accountability, knowledge, and economic independence. Fatherless homes have significant social and economic implications. Children raised without fathers are more susceptible to mental health issues, behavioral disorders, and academic challenges. Economically, these households often face higher poverty rates. Key Statistics: •Mental Health and Behavioral Issues: •Children from fatherless homes are five times more likely to commit suicide. •They are 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders. •They are 14 times more likely to commit rape. •They are nine times more likely to drop out of high school. •They are 20 times more likely to end up in prison. •Educational Challenges: •Fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school. •Children with involved fathers are 40% less likely to repeat a grade and 70% less likely to drop out. •They are more likely to achieve academic success and engage in extracurricular activities. •Economic Impact: •Children in father-absent homes are almost four times more likely to be poor. Short Story: “The Unseen Struggle” In the heart of a bustling city, Malik, a bright-eyed 12-year-old, navigated life without his father. His mother, working two jobs, provided for their modest apartment but couldn't always be there for him. Malik often felt a void, a longing for guidance he couldn't name. At school, Malik's grades began to slip. He found it hard to concentrate, his mind wandering to questions about his father he dared not ask. His teachers noticed his withdrawn demeanor and declining performance. One afternoon, Malik's school counselor, Ms. Thompson, invited him to her office. She spoke gently, asking about his interests and dreams. Through their conversations, Malik discovered a passion for art, a talent he had never explored. Ms. Thompson encouraged him to join the school's art club, providing him with materials and support. As Malik immersed himself in art, he found an outlet for his emotions. His grades improved, and he began to smile more. While the absence of his father remained a silent ache, Malik learned that with support and self-discovery, he could navigate the challenges life presented. This story underscores the resilience of children facing adversity and the profound impact of mentorship and community support in their lives.

Everywhere we turn, society continues to downplay the critical role of fathers.

Danny this week concludes our series in Ephesians—Foundations of Faith. We'll look at Ephesians 6:1-4. Fatherless homes, rebellious kids - the crisis no one wants to talk about. 'Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honour your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. ' Ephesians 6:1-4

A broken man can only serve to break generations of women, and the consequences of fatherlessness reach deeper than most realize. In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with my good friend RC Blakes, one of the most powerful voices on relationships, self-worth, and healing, to unpack the hidden struggles women face when they grow up without a strong father figure. Why do so many women struggle with choosing the right partner? How does fatherlessness create deep emotional and relational wounds? What can women (and men) do to break this cycle and step into wholeness? I've seen firsthand how the absence of a healthy masculine presence in a woman's life can shape the partners she attracts and the pain she endures. RC Blakes and I dive deep into the “approval trap”, why many women unknowingly seek validation from the wrong men, and how toxic masculinity subtly manipulates and drains women's self-esteem. I've walked my own journey of healing and growth and I know that without doing the deep work, we keep repeating painful patterns. Whether you've struggled in relationships, questioned your self-worth, or want to create healthier connections in your life, this conversation will challenge you to think differently.

So if you need a new book to read for spring, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates   Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 243 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is March 14th, 2025, and today we are looking at writing series bibles. Before we get into that, let us start with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks of the Ghost Night Series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is GHOSTNIGHT25. The coupon code and the links will be available in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through March 29th, 2025. So if you need a new book to read for spring, we've got you covered.   Now let's have some updates on my current writing and audiobook projects. I'm pleased to report that Ghost in the Assembly, the fourth book in the Ghost Armor series, is now out. You can get it at Amazon, Barnes Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, and my Payhip store. It has been selling well and been received well, so thank you all for that.   Now that Ghost in the Assembly is out, my next project is Shield of Battle, the fifth book in The Shield War series, and I am 17,000 words into that and hope to make good progress on it next week.   In audiobook news, Cloak Mage: Omnibus Three (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) is now available, as is Half-Elven Thief: Omnibus One (which is narrated by Leanne Woodward). You can get both of them for the easy price of one credit. So that is where I'm at with my current writing and publishing projects. Usually at this point, we do Question of the Week, but I ran out of time to do Question of the Week this week.   00:01:32: Main Topic of the Week: Writing Adjacent Activities, Part I: Series Bibles   So now we'll move right on to our main topic. Today, I'm starting a new series about what I call writing adjacent activities. What do I mean by this? I'm talking about tasks that seem like they're part of the writing process, but in reality, belong in a different category. Now these tasks are important, but they can also be a pitfall if you spend too much time on them, don't use them correctly, or you don't make the best use of your time with them.   In this series, we'll focus on a few of these tasks and how they can be beneficial or a hindrance to your writing process, even though they seem like a good use of time and may be advantageous in different scenarios.   In this episode, we'll talk about creating series bibles, an activity that some writers love and others loathe or avoid altogether. We'll explain what series bibles are, how they can help you as a writer, and how to write them effectively without losing time on your actual writing. So to begin with, what is a series bible? This term originates in the world of television production (where they're often called show bibles), where having a document that kept track of characters, details mentioned on the show, and important information was crucial when many people were working on the same show. A series bible was essential for continuity and preventing writers from having to rewatch old episodes to find out, for the example of say, the names of Frasier's mother or Nile's first wife.   The goal of a series bible for books is to be a reference to refer back to important facts and details about your story. They can prevent errors, reusing names, and save time by not having to check things in earlier books while writing. It is also more important to have a good series bible when a group of people are working together than an individual writer.   Examples of things collected in series bibles are character details, locations, plot developments, and information about fictional worlds in the books. They can be incredibly detailed or very simple, depending on what information is tracked within them. Some books obviously will need series bible-ing less than others. For example, a contemporary romance will have less information to keep track of than a science fiction series in a fictional galaxy with its own technology and species because with the contemporary romance, you just need to keep track of the characters and the settings and the settings can be easily reused from the real world, which is quite a bit harder when you're writing a science fiction series with exotic aliens and strange technology.   So why should you make a series bible? Continuity is quite challenging, especially as a series progresses or a writer creates interconnected series like my Frostborn, Sevenfold  Sword, Dragontiarna, Dragonskull, and Shield War series. Do I remember whether an orc named in one chapter of the third Frostborn book survives so I can use him dozens and books in three series later? I don't off the top of my head.   It helps to keep details consistent across books. If, for example, Ridmark carries his staff in his right hand, he shouldn't be switching to his left unless he has a plot reason for doing that. For certain kinds of writers, it can help with planning a series in conjunction with an outline. If you have your characters and location names planned in advance, it's easier than trying to think of them on the spot when writing. Additionally, if you're co-writing a series with one or more other people, this ensures that all the information stays consistent. For most cases, I think writing with another person or a group of people is probably the best reason to create a series bible.   A series bible can also, if you're writing on your own, help you find patterns in your own writing. For example, if you're consistently not describing characters' appearances until the fifth or sixth chapter in each book, that may be something you want to change in future books. Readers tend to like physical descriptions fairly early in the book because it helps them imagine the characters and they might be annoyed if a physical detail that appears late in the book doesn't match what they actually imagined.   So how do you go about making a series bible (if you've decided that you need one)? It doesn't require special software, just a basic word processor file. You can just type the entire thing up in Word or even in Notepad if you want. Some people may use some programs like Scrivener or Hiveword, but for most people, that could be overkill. Some writers make series binders in a physical binder because they prefer to flip back and forth that way instead of using the word processor's search feature. For myself, I would most definitely prefer using the word processor search feature.   Decide before you start the project what categories would be most helpful to you. Remember the more categories you have in the series bible, the longer it will take to create and the more time it will take to maintain, especially as a series goes on. Some potential categories for your series bible include characters, locations, languages, magic systems, and a basic plot summary for each book in the series.   From there, it's as simple as filling in categories with the information. Some people make different documents or pages for each category, while others like all the information to be in one place for easier searching. Some people create the series bibles while outlining.  Some people create them while writing. Others do it after the book is complete. It'll be up to you to decide which one works best for your workflow, but the latter is often seen as the easiest because then you don't have to make changes as you edit the books. So what are the potential pitfalls or time wasting aspects of a series bible? Much like many other writing adjacent tasks, creating a detailed series bible can turn into something that feels like writing progress, but is actually hindering you from meeting your word count goals or actually getting on with finishing the story.   It seems like the people who create series bibles before starting their draft tend to be the writers who have the most trouble actually finishing their drafts. If you're creating a series bible before creating your first draft, you may be spending a lot of time creating superfluous details that won't actually be needed for the book or creating such a volume of detail that writing the draft begins to feel daunting.   You may not need one and might be creating a series bible unnecessarily. For one thing, they're intended for series, so creating one for a standalone book is most likely overkill. If it's a short series, without collaborators, in a contemporary realistic fiction setting, it may not be necessary or maybe only a brief character sheet would be sufficient. Just because some writers say that series bibles are helpful doesn't mean that's a requirement or that your book won't be as good without one.   It's also a good idea to set a goal in advance of what categories you want and how much detail you need. That will help you figure out if you're spending more time on it than is necessary. Creating templates may also help, especially ones that allow for short responses instead of entire sentences or paragraphs. A consistent format may make the information easier to find and/or skim later. This would be something like a Dungeons and Dragons character sheet where you would just have a template where you could list the most pertinent details about the character as an aid to memory, like their age, ethnicity, eye color, hair color, height, brief physical descriptions, and things like that, short details that'd be a useful aid to spurring memory.   And finally, as with so many things in life, it's important to be honest with yourself. Will you actually take the time to maintain this series bible across multiple books, or is the file going to sit forever unfinished in a corner of your hard drive? For many people, series bibles are often like the writing equivalent of a craft project that has started with good intentions but is ultimately left unfinished in a box somewhere.   Since we cited TV series bibles as an example for this, I thought we would quote an example from the series bible for the TV show Lost. Note that the main purpose of this series bible was to get the TV show on air and to get advertisers for it, so the language here is a combination of characters' facts and marketing speak to try and get people interested in the characters. Most series bibles for books use more of a factual approach, but it's still of interest as an example.   Here's the entry for the character of Boone:   “Boone grew up in a world of wealth and privilege provided by a vast commercial empire run by his mother, "The Martha Stewart of the Wedding Industry." Fatherless from a very young age, Boone quickly assumed the role of family patriarch. In one fell swoop, he became the heir apparent and self-appointed guardian of his sister. But Boone has a dark secret - one even Shannon doesn't know. Diagnosed with schizophrenia during adolescence, he has since managed his illness with ongoing therapy and a cocktail of anti-psychotic medications - medications he stopped taking roughly a month before the crash. Ongoing survival crises find Boone at odds with his slipping sanity, leading to an inevitable breaking point which will not only put him at odds with the others, but make him an outright danger.” So you can probably tell from this paragraph that this was written partly to help the writers and partly to help pitch the show. But you can see how this kind of thing could be useful for remembering key details about a character when you're writing the third book in your series and need to look back and refresh your memory about the character's details. You wouldn't need something so detailed or dramatically written, but just enough to capture the key character details so you could refresh your memory.   So what do I do myself in terms of series bibles? Well, the answer is mostly not that much (chuckles). My method of continuity checking is that Windows Explorer, the file manager on Windows, has a feature that allows you to search inside documents. So if I need to refresh my memory about something in a series, I go to the series folder that holds all those Word documents, search for the term I'm looking for, and read through the results until I find it. It's not very efficient. I have started making series bibles recently and by saying that I have started, I mean I have hired someone to do it for me.   Why am I making them now? Like I said, making it easier to keep track of continuity because Ghosts in the Assembly was my 160th book, which is a lot to keep track of, and that's a lot of Control + F searching in Windows Explorer to find things. So I was thinking it was time to get better organized and have this information to be more accessible and easy to read.   What do I include in mine? I'm only doing them for books I have finished and only about eight or nine pages for each book. The categories are timeline events, locations, creatures, magic and spells, and a brief list of key events.   Will I ever publish these series bibles? Probably not, unless I can find a good source of artwork because when people think of published series bibles, they think of these big hardcover books you get Barnes and Noble called The World of Wheel of Time or The World of Fire and Ice and then there's a lot of beautiful illustrations in them. I might try something simpler, where it's just the text. So I suppose the real answer is we will have to see.   So that is my thoughts on series bibles. So that is it for this week.

Send me a Text Message!Here is what I believe about our wilderness, about the battle in our wilderness. If the words of Father God give us the courage and strength for the battle, the Devil's strategy is to get us to believe the lie that we live fatherless lives. Fatherlessness is the new cultural norm. It's a story being written into the lives of the next  generation; a story heard in songs, seen in movies & read in the blogs. Even if father's aren't missing, we're being told that they aren't necessary. But that doesn't stop the search or fill the hole. In the wilderness we are faced with the question,  Will I live like I am fatherless?In fact, this may even be the essence of battle. Our enemy wants us to believe that we are fatherless, when God is our Father. You are not fatherless!

“The science is out there: There have been 64 peer-reviewed studies that Linda Nielsen has reviewed. And they all come to the same conclusion—that children fare better with both parents.”After experiencing firsthand systemic problems within the family court system, in which one parent, typically the father, is relegated to weekend visits with his children in divorce cases, Mark Ludwig founded Americans for Equal Shared Parenting to raise awareness about the need for children to have equal access to both parents.“The opposition has done a great job of creating the narrative that this is just a bunch of angry dads who have anger management problems, conflict resolution problems, and maybe they shouldn't even be a dad,” he says.Ludwig travels the country advocating for a 50/50 rebuttable presumption—legislation that presumes both parents will share equal custody in a divorce, so long as they are fit, willing, and able.“The No. 1 stability point a child needs is not where they live, but who they have a relationship with. And the stability of the relationship with both parents is more important than what house they live in,” says Ludwig. “I'll fight just as hard for mothers as I do fathers, because I'm not fighting for the mother or the father. I'm fighting for the child.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

This nonfiction account of our nation's 20th president will knock your socks off.  Destiny of the Republic, A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard gives readers an amazing glimpse into the past. We get a front seat to the election of a man who did not want to be president but was willing to get out of his comfort zone for the good of the country, appealing to God for aid in the trial before him. He made great strides to bring a divided country together, yet little is known about James A. Garfield, “a man incapable of carrying a grudge, a poor hater but a good fighter.”.  Fatherless before the age of 2, Garfield grew up in abject poverty. Interestingly enough, so did Charles Guiteau, the man who shot him. What determined their vastly different paths? The big difference was attitude. “Garfield rose quickly through the layers of society, not with aggression or even overt ambition, but with a passionate love of learning.” Guiteau believed he was entitled to special treatment, his work ethic was almost non-existent. He survived by asking men for money when necessary or just not paying bills when he could get away with it.,  The real cause of Garfield's death surprised us, pride ended up being the culprit. Please join us as we unpack the sad facts about the disbelief doctors had about germs and the unwillingness of Dr. Bliss to listen to others which caused Garfield to suffer needlessly. “Ignorance is Bliss” is a quote that now has a new meaning. On the other side of the coin, there were helpful caring people who worked tirelessly to help the president (air-conditioning was invented by the Navy and Alexander Graham Bell worked on an invention to find the bullet). Garfield's many quotes are true gems, “I'd rather be beaten in Right than succeed in Wrong.”

On Orphan Sunday, we are reminded of our profound responsibility to care for the fatherless. The Bible commands us to show kindness and mercy, emphasizing that true worship involves justice for the vulnerable. Recognizing our own spiritual fatherlessness, we see how Jesus took our place to adopt us into God's family. Inspired by King David's kindness to Mephibosheth, we are called to actively support orphans through prayer, support, and direct action.

Mic flip! Listen as Jeff Zaugg sits down with Kent Evans and Lawson Brown on the Father on Purpose Podcast to discuss his own parenting journey. He shares fresh ideas to help you live an awesome dad life, invest time with your kids, and model joy, faith, and wonder.    Key Takeaways   You're not being DadAwesome if you're just pursuing the heart of your wife and kids; being DadAwesome requires brotherhood.  Never wait until you think you've “arrived” before you take the initiative to lead.  Help your kids remember God's provision by prompting them with this phrase: “Look at what God did.” There's no better way to spend your time as a dad than by intentionally connecting with your kids.  If you're a discouraged father, it's time to throw off weight from the past, receive God's love, and walk in your sonship.   Jeff Zaugg   Jeff Zaugg is the founder of DadAwesome and Fathers for the Fatherless, two ministries that resource and rally dads through engaging podcasts and 100-mile bike rides. Jeff and his wife, Michelle, have been married for eighteen years and are parents to four daughters.   Key Quotes   23:25 - "We say at DadAwesome, you are not being DadAwesome, if you're just pursuing the heart of your wife and your kids. If it's just about you in the home front, you actually have missed half the mission because it's all shortsighted. If you don't have brothers, if you don't have a few other guys that are after this mission together, you will not make it the distance. You will not be able to hold that arm, hold that strength. It's the only way to be DadAwesome is to do it in brotherhood." 33:36 - "If we think about the longevity of investment of time, we only have this limited amount of time with our kids before they leave the house. It's tiny, fractional moments versus deep, rich opportunity when they're on the home front. Dads, [spending intentional time with our kids] is just the easiest and best investment with compounding interest than we can ever imagine."   Links from Today's Conversation   Manhood Journey Anger-Free Dad  Father on Purpose Podcast The Forge Movie   Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

God is described as a Father of the fatherless, and he tells us that true religion involves caring for orphans and widows. In this message from Psalm 10, David Platt urges us to put our faith into action by caring for the most vulnerable among us. However, we care for the vulnerable not out of guilt or because we have it all together. We care for the vulnerable because God, by his grace, has come to us in our brokenness and brought us into his family through the gospel. Explore more content from Radical.
