When Your Dad Isn’t There: Healing from Father Wounds as a Young Man
For young men with absent or hurtful fathers—find healing, strength, and your true identity in God, your perfect Father who never leaves.
📖 Introduction
There’s a pain that many young men carry but rarely speak about—the wound of a father who wasn’t there. Whether he left your family, was emotionally distant, verbally abusive, addicted, or simply failed to show up for you in the ways you needed most, that absence can echo for years.
It shows up when you're trying to prove yourself. It shows up when you feel insecure around other men. It shows up when you ache for approval, when you second-guess your worth, or when you get angry but don’t know why. And the truth is—you are not alone.
God sees that pain. And He’s not ashamed of you for feeling it. In fact, Scripture is full of stories about men who were abandoned, rejected, or overlooked—but God Himself stepped in as Father. This 3-day Bible Study is for you if you’ve ever thought:
- “Why didn’t he love me enough to stay?”
- “Will I become like him?”
- “Can I really become a good man without him?”
The answer is yes. Yes, you can heal. Yes, you can become whole. And yes—you have a Father now who is everything your earthly father could not be. You are not fatherless in God’s eyes. Let’s begin this journey toward healing.
