Bread 4 Breaking

"Absent Fathers" - Episode 11 - B4B


Listen Later

Involvement from the audience leaves our hosts in awe on this week’s episode. One caller, a thirteen year old from North Carolina, cries out for her father’s most valuable asset: his time.

Through this difficult topic, Kameron & Josh work to uncover some of the roots to fatherly absence. Speaking from experience, they expose some of their own personal challenges, either having or not having their fathers present for important moments in life.

Too often, men leave mothers to be the sole caretaker, when children truly need the balance of two parents to thrive. Absent fathers, particularly in the black community, are all too common. For some, this absence is carried from one generation to the next. Breaking this generational curse is our path forward, and fatherly accountability is a great start in that mission.


For our caller, the young lady from NC, here is the video link Josh mentioned. The relevant portion is from time marker 2:15-3:35 :
