In this launch episode of the Man As series, Allan and Jeff confront the growing crisis of fatherlessness—and the Church’s role in responding. With over 25 million children in the U.S. growing up without a dad, this isn’t just a cultural issue—it’s a spiritual one.

You’ll hear a preview of The Mandate film and a real conversation about:

The deep connection between fatherlessness and discipleship

Why men often feel aimless or spiritually unfulfilled

God’s call to defend the fatherless (Isaiah 1:17, James 1:27)

What it means to live out biblical masculinity in today’s world

Whether you're a father, mentor, single man, or leader, this episode is a challenge to step into your God-given role. This is more than a podcast it's a call to action.
