Episode 9: Father to the Fatherless

Fatherlessness is fueling an identity crisis in our culture—and it’s not random. It’s strategic warfare. Psalm 68 calls God “a Father to the fatherless,” but He also calls men to step into that role for others.In this episode, Floyd Ogle goes after the wound of absent fathers—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and the fallout it’s caused: men who don’t know who they are, what they’re made for, or how to lead the next generation.You’ll hear Floyd’s own story of growing up without a present father, the healing that came through spiritual adoption, and the call for every man to rise up as a father figure, mentor, and warrior for the next generation. Drawing from Psalm 68, 1 Corinthians 9, and Philippians 2, this teaching challenges men to:Step into the crisis of fatherlessness with courage and intentionalityLive out spiritual adoption by showing up and pouring into othersFollow Paul’s example with Timothy—fathering through presence, correction, and visionTake practical steps from 1 Timothy to own your issues, foster growth, train, and instill virtueYou don’t need permission or credentials to father someone—you need obedience. Everything you’ve endured, every scar and every victory, can become someone else’s foundation.It’s time to stop waiting. The world doesn’t need more programs. It needs men who will say: “I’ll be a father to the fatherless.”Go be different. Be War Ready. Be the father someone desperately needs.
