Fatherlessness is a significant issue facing American children today. On this episode of All Things I explore the topic from a sociological and spiritual perspective with author and spoken word poet Blair Linne. We talk about her recent book Finding My Father: How the Gospel Heals the Pain of Fatherlessness. Blair shares her own story and journey to both her earthly father and heavenly Father, while at the same time highlighting America’s fatherlessness crisis. She tells us about the value and importance of dads and what children suffer without the presence of a godly father in their lives. Blair leaves us with plenty of gospel hope, though, as she points us over and over to the all-satisfying presence of our Father in heaven.
