What’s been shaping your manhood—pain or power?

In this raw, soul-stirring episode, Joshua rips open the silence around one of the deepest struggles men face: the wounds left by our fathers.

Whether it was absence, anger, emotional distance, or impossible expectations—this wound has shaped you. But here’s the truth…

"You’ve been fathered by pain long enough.
It’s time to be fathered by love." - Joshua

The 5 types of Father Wounds and how they show up in your life today:

How your relationship with your dad shapes:

Your identity
Your intimacy with God
Your ability to lead, love, and father
