If men didn't grow up with fathers who validated and loved them, they will often turn to women and even porn to find that validation. Dr. James Dobson talks with John Eldredge, author of the best-selling Wild at Heart, about the "father wound." A boy looks to his dad, asking, "Do I have what it takes? Can I be a man? Am I strong? Am I brave?" At the start of Jesus' ministry, God the Father validated Him, saying, "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased." Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free—and He can heal "the father wound" in the lives of men today.
