Before most of us ever called God “Father,” we learned what father meant from a man or from the silence where one should have been. In this episode of Captured, Alyssa and I share two different father stories, one shaped by absence and the other by emotional distance, and how those experiences quietly shaped the way we approached God. We talk about the anger, longing, and questions that father wounds can leave behind, and how God begins to heal those places by revealing Himself as the Father who sees us, runs toward us, and loves us without performance.
