What does fatherlessness do to a man’s heart, identity, and future?

In this deeply moving episode of Dudes Without Dads, Randy Floyd shares his story of growing up without a father, navigating trauma, identity confusion, addiction, and emotional pain—until a life-changing encounter with Jesus at 16 redefined everything.

This conversation explores the long-term effects of father absence, the orphan mindset many men live with, and how God heals father wounds by stepping in as the Father we never had. Randy’s testimony speaks directly to men who feel lost, unseen, or unsure of who they are—and to parents who wonder if their mistakes define their children’s future.

This episode covers:

• Growing up without a dad and its impact on masculinity
• How father wounds lead to addiction, pride, and broken relationships
• Identity struggles in men raised without fathers
• God’s heart for the fatherless
• Healing emotional trauma through faith
• Why presence is more powerful than perfection in parenting
