The Hidden Cost of Growing Up Without a Father... A Void No One Talks About
Manage episode 489550468 series 3669318
In this powerful episode of The Father Factor Podcast, Byron Ricks, Josh, and guest co-host Brandon unpack the emotional, spiritual, and generational impact of growing up fatherless. From personal stories of loss and reconnection to deep conversations around forgiveness, identity, lineage, and faith, this episode explores what the “void” really is—and how it silently shapes our choices, behaviors, and self-worth.
Whether your father was absent, emotionally distant, or missing entirely, this raw discussion sheds light on how to begin healing and filling that void—not with temporary fixes like addiction or affirmation, but with purpose, forgiveness, and intentional relationships.
