"Daddy Issues", with special guest Mr John Smithbaker of Fathers in the Field [Sea 5 / Ep 22]

Each year, we celebrate Father’s Day and honoring the men who reared and/or raised us…but sadly, many people never have the opportunity to celebrate that holiday due to the absence of fathers or father figures in their lives. Truly, fatherlessness is one of the top societal ills plaguing our nation, and it’s producing a generation of young people who suffer serious mental and spiritual issues as a result. Well…..this episode’s special guest is actually a friend of the show who has visited us before to discuss this troubling dilemma, and last time he visited us (Season 5, Episode 3) we ran out of time pontificating upon this critical issue. Well he’s back to continue our discussion about the work that his organization is doing to help eradicate the scourge of fatherlessness through his organization, Fathers in the Field, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping men recapture what it believes are their divinely-assigned roles as Pastor, Provider and Protector in the home. Come fellowship with us and learn what this ministry is doing to help men become all that God designed them to be as they combat their own brokenness, pain and anger due to lack of father figures….and precisely the type of work the ministry does to aid men in dealing with their “Daddy Issues”.
