In 1960, 17% of boys grew up in homes without their biological fathers; less than 2 in 10. But, in 2022, the Institute for Family Studies found that 32% of boys, 1 in every 3, are now growing up in homes without their biological fathers. 1 in 4 children in the US are growing up in homes without their biological fathers; that is more than 18M children.

Well, today I have a special guest with me, Antwan Steele, who is going to talk about his experience grappling with his own father’s absence so that you can hear how he has learned to grow through the pain.

Today I want to tackle the issue of cheating because social media has made it easier than ever for people to do it. If you have been cheated on, you know it is a devastating experience that completely obliterates trust.

Some people have been so devastated by cheating that they have sworn off the idea of ever trusting someone again. But, I want to share my story and what I learned because my hope is that you will open yourself to the possibility of being loved well one day.

I’m an only child and friendship hasn’t always come easily to me because I spent a lot of my time alone as a child. Being alone comes naturally to me; being a friend does not. Yet, I have been blessed with a friendship that has been a source of healing for me and today we’re going to talk about how it happened.

I cannot begin to tell you how many people contact me everyday to tell me how grateful they are for me sharing my story about my childhood. So many of you are being shamed and guilted into carrying the pain of family dysfunction on your own. BUT, one of my goals for this podcast is to create a safe space for you to explore the dark cracks and crevices of your life without fear of being told you’re wrong or crazy.

Today I am honored to have a super special guest with me who is going to help us zoom out a bit and see how broken families are always the result of generational trauma. And we’re going to use our own family as a case study. Let’s talk about it.

Every year, approximately 5 million women become pregnant in the United States. And every year, 1 million of those women experience the devastation of miscarriage before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Another 20,000 women lose their babies in stillbirth, which is categorized as pregnancy loss after 20 weeks. I have experienced both and, today, I want to share what losing three babies taught me about God.
