Podcasts about fatherless

As a divorced mom, I raised three sons, and for my two youngest, I was doing it completely without their father. I remember the weight of that and the realization that I wasn't "daddy" and I couldn't be, because nature just wasn't designed that way. But I learned a secret while struggling to come up with effective ways to get out of survival mode. Mothering solo doesn't mean parenting alone. I began co-parenting with God, relying on Him to fill the gaps that felt too wide for me to bridge.The strategy started with a hard truth we have to help our sons grasp: God is nothing like men. If an earthly father was absent or unloving, a boy's view of "Father God" is often fractured. We have to reframe that character through our own leadership and by diving into the Word to show them a Father who never leaves. But it doesn't stop with us. I remember when my youngest was 13 and terrified of the calling on his life. I prayed for a mentor, and God provided a youth pastor who was also a court attorney. He was a man of stability and integrity who stayed. Twenty years later, they are still friends. That mentorship didn't just give my son a role model; it gave him a blueprint for manhood.I've always prioritized conversation and community. People used to stop me on the train and ask, "Is that your son? You two talk like you're friends." I took pride in that because I knew I had to be the sum of his influences. Yet, as Jim Rohn famously said, “we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” With that in mind, being mindful of the company your sons keep is crucial int keeping him focused on what's important in life. I had to oversee his "circle of five," ensuring he was surrounded by godly peers. Note: The only reason I created a Facebook account was to oversee my son's action on social media. I was terrified that they would connect with unsafe people online. But I needn't worry and I realized I didn't need to keep on eye on them all the time. I encourage you also, to add another layer to your leadership when daddy is absent. Encourage your son to read about biblical role models like David, who was far from perfect but was humble. He recognized when he messed up and embraced God to help him escape trouble. Also, Joseph, who modeled integrity despite the many difficulties her suffered. Finally by building consistent spiritual habits—reading the Word and praying together—our sons can move from fearing their future to embracing their calling. We don't have to live continuously in survival mode. We can help our sons shake the legacy of absence and raise men who will stand strong for generations.While the heart of our mission is spiritual, we must also use the right tools to ensure this message reaches every mother searching for a lifeline.If the idea of God as your Father intrigue you, I encourage you to check out Day 12: God, Our Father in Courage to Believe 21 Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.

In this honest conversation, Lori welcomes pastor, husband, father, and Absent Dad, Present Father contributor Kyle Ogle to share his powerful testimony of growing up without a father and the lasting impact of rejection. Kyle opens up about meeting his biological father as a young teen, only to later experience heartbreaking abandonment that shaped many of his struggles with insecurity, identity, anger, and fear of abandonment.Yet through God's kindness, the influence of faithful men, and the healing work of Christ, Kyle's story did not end in rejection. Today, he serves as the lead pastor of Center Church in Texas, loves being a husband and father, and points others to the truth that God truly is a present Father to the fatherless.This conversation offers hope to widowed and single mothers raising children alone, encouragement to fatherless sons and daughters wrestling with rejection, and a reminder that our stories do not have to be defined by the absence of an earthly father. Through Jesus, there is healing, identity, belonging, and redemption.Key TakeawaysThe hidden wounds of fatherlessnessHelping children process dormant griefThe importance of godly mentors and the body of ChristFinding identity in God as FatherBreaking generational cycles through ChristResources MentionedAbsent Dad, Present Father: From Loss to Light – Testimonies of God's Unfailing Love for Fatherless ChildrenScripture Referenced: Ezekiel 18, Matthew 3, John 1, Psalm 68:5ConnectTo connect with Perspective Ministries and learn more about resources for widows and fatherless children, visit Perspective Ministries

Send us Fan MailThe word “fatherless” gets thrown around online a lot—especially when people are criticizing women's behavior. In this episode, I explore why childhood circumstances are so often used as adult insults, and why phrases like “fatherless behavior” and “your parents must be proud” seem to carry a particular stigma.Drawing from my own experience growing up without my biological father, I reflect on personal responsibility, dignity, family influence, and the tendency to reduce people to their upbringing.This isn't about blaming fathers, defending bad behavior, or creating a battle between men and women. It's about asking a simple question:At what point do we stop being defined by where we came from and start being judged as individuals?Support the showThanks for listening to Unscripted: A Calm Take on the Double Standard.These conversations aren't about telling you what to think.

Ep. 234 | Renowned thought leader, speaker, and prolific author Warren Farrell has a passion for getting the truth out about issues that matter deeply—issues with enormous human consequences that might begin to heal if people better understood the forces driving these trends: the boy crisis, fatherlessness, the cultural tendency to vilify men, and the lack of healthy and effective communication between men and women. Warren has authored several data-driven bestselling books that go right to the heart of these matters, and in this conversation his expertise is clearly evident, right alongside his dedication to do everything he can to shift the evolution of the harmful idea that women are good but men are bad.Warren has put himself on the line time and again to stand up for fatherless boys. He puts out a clarion call to couples to communicate with care, so that a father can be involved with the raising of a child, and in his books and workshops, Warren offers concrete steps to minimize children's trauma, such as his four must-do's after a divorce and the caring and sharing practices he teaches couples around accepting criticism without getting defensive. Immensely insightful, immensely practical, Warren points the way forward through a territory that has become murky, difficult, and hateful. Guaranteed, you will learn things about our contemporary culture you didn't know before, and be inspired to do what you can to heal the disastrous divide between the sexes.

In a world where kids spend more time with screens than withthe people raising them, a quiet shift is happening inside our homes. AI isn't just helping with homework or entertainment anymore — it's becoming the voice shaping identity, confidence, and emotional habits. In this episode, Ed breaksdown the uncomfortable truth: we're outsourcing presence without realizing it.This is a conversation about leadership, fatherhood, and thefuture of family culture. It's not anti‑tech — it's a wake‑up call. Because if we don't step back into the center of our kids' lives, algorithms will. And the cost of that isn't convenience… it's connection.Ed lays out what's happening, why it matters, and how tobuild an “AI‑proof home” where kids grow up grounded, resilient, and led byreal people — not machines.#Parenting2026 #AIParenting #DadTalk #RaisingStrongKids#FamilyCulture#ModernParenting #RaisingKidsToday #DigitalChildhood#PresentOverPerfect #DadLife#LeadershipAtHome #FutureOfParenting #AIAndFamily#RaisingLeaders #FatherhoodMatters

Green Beret. Father of eight. 21 years married. Eric Wehmeyer's first memory is watching his dad drive away at age five — and everything that followed was a search for what a man is supposed to be. He chased that answer into the Army, then into Special Forces, earning his Green Beret and serving on missions that took him from Afghanistan to Iraq to a dinner table beside the Sultan of Oman.But the real war was always internal.In this episode, Eric opens up about growing up fatherless and what that absence actually costs a son, the Army major in a war zone chow hall who told him the Holy Spirit sent him to be his mentor, an addiction that started at age ten and the wife who responded with grace instead of shame, the financial collapse after leaving the military that brought him to his knees, and the faith that rebuilt everything.Today Eric is a husband of 21 years, a father of eight children, a serial entrepreneur, and a man on mission to help others find what he spent years searching for.This one goes deep.

Send us Fan MailA missing father doesn't just leave an empty chair. It can leave a child building an identity from scraps, swallowing anger that has nowhere safe to go, and chasing belonging so hard that boundaries get blurry. We go back to our “nine side effects of growing up fatherless” list and slow down on three that show up again and again in real life: identity crisis, silent anger, and the need to belong. We talk about what it feels like to look in the mirror and search for dad's features, or to feel a strange sense of closeness when someone says, “You act like your father,” even when you barely know him. From there we move into the pressure-cooker side of fatherlessness: rejection that turns into pain, pain that converts into anger, and anger that can erupt on the wrong people. We also connect the dots to culture right now, including communication anxiety, fear of basic phone calls, and how technology and AI relationships can make isolation easier and real connection harder. Then we get practical about belonging. We unpack why kids without fathers can be more vulnerable to gangs or unhealthy groups, not because they want trouble, but because they want family. We share ways parents can train the “communication muscle,” teach respect, and help kids face awkward moments and rejection without shutting down. We close with a recap, a LaCrae line that sticks, and a preview of what we tackle next: understanding your value. Subscribe for more conversations on fatherhood, absent father recovery, and healing the father wound, then share this episode with someone who needs it and leave us a review.

In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge breaks down the results of St. Louis' weekend curfew crackdown, where more than 20 juveniles—including kids as young as 11—were detained, raising blunt questions about absent parenting and accountability. The conversation expands into a deeper critique of fatherless homes and generational dependency, with Marc Cox tying today's crime patterns to decades-old government policies rooted in Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society programs, arguing they incentivized single-parent households and long-term welfare reliance. Both hosts acknowledge real hardship scenarios but ultimately contend that current systems reward dysfunction instead of stability, fueling cycles of poverty and crime that curfews alone can't fix.

Spring often brings milestone moments like school dances, first dates, and new relationships. For single mothers, this season can stir both pride and concern. How do you guide your son as he begins to step into manhood without a father at home to model dating, marriage, and masculinity?In this Mom and Man episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, Lori is joined by her son, Evan Apon, for an honest and practical conversation about dating, dances, relationships, and the unique challenges fatherless boys may face as they grow into young men.Together, Lori and Evan talk about the gaps many fatherless boys feel, the importance of godly male mentors, how moms can help prepare sons for dating with wisdom and boundaries, and why respect, purity, and intentionality matter from the very beginning.This episode offers both encouragement and practical insight for moms who want to help their sons honor the Lord in relationships and grow into men of character.Takeaways from this episode:Fatherless boys often feel the absence of a dad more deeply during dating milestonesMoms can help lay a foundation of respect, responsibility, and godly characterSons need godly men who can speak wisdom into their livesGod remains faithful to father and guide your child through every seasonKey encouragement from this episode:You do not have to do this alone.

Behind every healed heart is a story of radical forgiveness and God's redeeming love. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys sit down with John Smithbaker, founder of Fathers in the Field Ministry—a powerful outreach that pairs godly men with fatherless boys to introduce them to their Heavenly Father and guide them toward healing. John vulnerably shares his own transformative journey: growing up abandoned by his earthly father, wrestling with deep wounds, coming to Christ, and ultimately choosing forgiveness—which set him free and sparked the vision for Fathers in the Field. He now equips men to walk through the same process of forgiveness, releasing bitterness and stepping into the fullness God intends. If you've been hurt by an absent or broken father figure, struggle with unforgiveness, or want to help others find freedom, this raw and redemptive conversation is for you. It's a reminder that no wound is beyond God's healing grace. Listen or watch the full episode this Thursday—wherever you subscribe, or on YouTube!

Isaiah 51:1–2 instructs us to, "Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you." In this episode, David and Jo Ann Seely unpack their article "The Ten Tests of Abraham and Sarah," uncovering how Abraham and Sarah emerge as models of covenant discipleship. The Seelys explore how these tests developed in scriptural commentary, highlight Sarah's often-overlooked trials, and discuss connections to the Book of Abraham.

Jeff Davis began a mission along with his wife to help fatherless boys. It began small, but has grown into chapters in 12 states. Using the outdoors as a platform. Jeff and his team mentor fatherless boys by teaching them about outdoor skills. These skills include proper use of firearms, archery, camping, fire starting and even some other life skills. Many of the boys have never had a positive male figure in their lives. Truth in Nature provides that for these boys and young men. Spending time wiht these boys and young men, enables them to see and have a positive male figure in their life. But there is more to it than just camping, or shooting bows and arrows. This is a time to enstill in these young men the values of godly men. By sharing the gospel message with these boys, they are sharing positive life changing messages through the word and actions.    www.truthinnature.org  www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Super Bowl Champion Heath Evans and his wife Chrissy, a powerhouse couple raising six kids—four of them adopted siblings—and leading with faith, love, and intentionality. Beyond the NFL career and business ventures, their mission is about adoption, marriage, and creating a Christ-centered home where safety, strength, and sacrificial love are at the core.   We dive deep into adoption, marriage dynamics, leadership in the home, and the foundation of their health and fitness business, Built Ready. From why safety is the #1 need of every woman to the five pillars of a man's health (holiness, hydration, rest, workouts, and nutrition), this conversation challenges cultural norms and inspires fathers to lead with faith, humility, and strength.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge and today's guests: Heath and Chrissy Evans [1:48] - Heath's NFL career and transition to family and faith [2:13] - Raising six kids, including four adopted siblings [6:00] - Their calling to adoption and the heart behind Bethesda Ranch [7:30] - The struggles of sibling adoption and God's faithfulness in their journey [9:00] - The fatherless crisis and why the church must step up [11:00] - Fatherless home statistics and their generational impact [12:12] - Why a great dad is usually also a great husband [13:28] - Prioritizing marriage first to create security for kids [14:07] - Modeling unity in front of children and avoiding division [15:52] - Why parenting flows from the strength of your marriage [16:44] - Larry's son joins the conversation and a powerful NFL-to-dad lesson [19:00] - Talking faith and fears with kids—real conversations that matter [22:00] - Teaching kids reverence and the holiness of God [24:11] - Why Scripture, not worldly wisdom, is the anchor for parenting [25:24] - Chrissy shares what it feels like to be married to a man deeply rooted in Christ [26:15] - Safety as a wife's greatest need: emotional, spiritual, financial, and relational [29:00] - Respect, appreciation, affection for men vs. being seen, heard, and safe for women [31:15] - The power of forgiveness and humility in marriage [32:07] - Why true security comes from Christ, not success or performance [36:11] - Chrissy's reflections on submission, teamwork, and balance in marriage [40:20] - Heath's analogy of submarine leadership and servant-hearted strength [43:18] - The danger of self-reliance vs. dependence on Christ [46:23] - Why brokenness is often the beginning of real faith [49:23] - Built Ready's five pillars: holiness, hydration, rest, workout, and nutrition [53:05] - Why rest is non-negotiable for fathers and leaders [54:24] - Nutrition as stewardship, not idolatry [56:18] - Their supplement line and why A2 protein makes it unique [58:41] - Closing reflections and the Evans' heart for faith, family, and service     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Safety Is the Cornerstone of Marriage Chrissy powerfully explains that true safety goes beyond physical protection—it includes emotional, financial, spiritual, and relational security. When women feel safe, marriage flourishes. 2. Adoption Is God's Heart in Action The Evans adopted four siblings to keep them together, living out God's call to be a “father to the fatherless” and modeling how faith drives family decisions. 3. Marriage First, Parenting Second Strong marriages create strong families. Kids thrive when they see their parents united, affectionate, and committed to one another before all else. 4. Leadership Is Servanthood Heath challenges men to rethink leadership—not as dominance, but as sacrificial love modeled by Christ. True strength is found in humility, service, and faith. 5. The Five Pillars of Health Built Ready's framework—holiness, hydration, rest, workouts, and nutrition—shows why spiritual health must lead the way, with physical health supporting a man's mission to love and serve well.     LINKS & RESOURCES   Built Ready Health & Fitness: https://builtready.com Chrissy Evans (Weight Loss Hero): https://weightlosshero.com Heath Evans on Instagram: https://instagram.com/heath_evans44 Chrissy Evans on Instagram: https://instagram.com/weightlosshero Contact Heath: heath@builtready.com Contact Chrissy: chrissy@weightlosshero.com Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions       If this episode inspired you to rethink marriage, leadership, and fatherhood, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

This correlates with 90% of homeless youth, 85% of behavioral disorders, 85% of youth in prison, and 90% of repeat arsonists.Porn addiction epidemic: Starting as young as 9-11 years old, chronic porn use creates desensitization, erectile dysfunction, unrealistic expectations, and replacement of real relationships.Collapse of male spaces: Traditional male-oriented spaces like Boy Scouts have disappeared, leaving young men without mentorship or models for healthy masculinity.Connor Beaton recommends that men spend two nights per week with male friends for optimal mental health.
