Sikhi is the religion of the underdog. And no Sikh in history embodied this more completely than Sultan ul Qaum Jathedar Jassa Singh Alhuwalia.Born fatherless into poverty during one of the darkest periods of Sikh history, Jassa Singh rose from feeding horses for the Budha Dal to being selected Panth Patshah by the Sarbat Khalsa. He conquered Lahore, sat on the Mughal throne in Delhi, fought Ahmad Shah Durrani face to face multiple times, and rebuilt the Darbar Sahib.This episode draws on Dr. Ganda Singh's definitive biography and primary Sikh, Afghan and Persian sources to tell the true story of Alhuwalia. Including the untold political intrigue of Jai Singh Kanihyaa's manipulation of the Misl system, the real story behind the Alhuwalia and Ramgarhia conflict, and what Jassa Singh's final political vision for Punjab actually was.As historian Hari Ram Gupta wrote, in the person of Jassa Singh Alhuwalia, the Guru actually made a sparrow kill hawks.This is the Sikh leader they forgot. This is The Sikh Renaissance.

What do Grammy-award winning artist Jay-Z, former President George Washington, and Olympic medalist Michael Phelps all have in common? All three men were raised by single parents.  Today, about forty percent of boys are also raised solely by their mother– an epidemic that continues to grow. If you're one of those hero single parents, do not lose heart. God sees you and knows the challenges you face. If you're not a single parent, look for young men in your life who need a father-figure. A game of catch, a fishing trip, or encouragement from the stands at a track meet can make a life-changing difference. Who knows? You might just be cheering on a future music star, president, or Olympic medalist. To learn about the 5 Critical Needs of boys, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

A Father to the FatherlessSeries: Lectionary Preacher: Rev. Thomas HinsonDate: 21st June 2026Passage: Psalm 68:1-35

Have you ever been hurt by someone who should have loved you? In this powerful Before & After, Pastor Derek Donley shares how God met him through pain, loss, and forgiveness. Then, Pastor Ed & Lisa Young sit down with Derek and Candace Donley for an honest conversation about healing, family, and breaking generational cycles.

Happy Father's Day. Is this day a good day for you or is it a rough day for you? Is your dad still around or did he pass away? Do you have a good relationship with your father or did you part ways with him? Whatever the case is, there is a Father that will remain faithful, who will not fail you. That father is God. If you do or don't have a father, God wants to be your father. He wants you to come to Him in the good, the bad, and the ugly.

As a father has compassion on his children so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him psalm 103:13

TJ opens up about growing up in a broken home, living on the streets at 13, and how God used the outdoors to shape his faith and calling.

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.

10. Guest: Andrew Graham-Dixon. Dixon investigates Vermeer's artistic origins, proposing Gerard ter Borch as his teacher based on archival documents. He notes that Vermeer was fatherless at twenty and likely viewed his master as a father figure. The discussion emphasizes that Vermeer's training occurred outside of Delft, contributing to his sophisticated and subtly lit style. 101665 SOUTH HOLLAND

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.

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. From this episode, we can gain a deeper understanding of how ancient traditions can illuminate the covenant path and enrich our own discipleship.
