But this conversation goes deeper—it’s about the hidden crisis of fatherhood, the moral decay in our society, and the emotional and spiritual consequences of unchecked pain.

The hosts dive into hard truths: how parenting shapes choices, why accountability matters, and how our culture’s detachment from God and values fuels tragedy. From mental health to morality, this episode is a raw call to return to the foundations of family, faith, and responsibility.

🎙️ In this powerful episode, Queon Wilcox opens up about the quiet battles many fathers face—feeling numb, disconnected, and unsure of their deeper purpose.

Through raw personal stories and deep spiritual reflection, he explores how distractions like alcohol masked his internal struggle, and how God used the stories of Nehemiah and Moses to awaken something greater within him. This conversation isn’t just about parenting—it’s about rediscovering who you are, what you're called to, and how faith can lead you to lasting fulfillment.

🔑 Topics Covered:

• How fatherhood can leave men feeling emotionally empty

• The role of purpose in personal growth and spiritual leadership

• How alcohol and other distractions numb out God’s calling

• Lessons from Nehemiah & Moses on living with divine purpose

• Why prayer, patience, and trust are essential to God’s plan

🛠️ Key Takeaways:

• Being a father doesn’t replace your personal calling—it deepens it

• Distractions are often spiritual warfare

• Purpose evolves, but God’s plan is always intentional

• Fulfillment comes when you surrender to God’s timing
