Description
A podcast series discussing the themes of fatherlessness. This podcast acts as a collection of conversations by a variety of guests and myself, a 27-year-old raised by a single mother, sharing insights that would have been gold dust for my younger self. Fatherless homes are on the rise, and while I know my podcast won’t be the solution, my prayer is that anyone journeying through the complexities of a fatherless life will find hope in the stories of the people I’ll be interviewing.

Father's Day Special - ft. Keithen Schwahn
2026/06/21
Send us Fan Mail
For many, Father’s Day can stir up a complex mix of emotions—joy, sadness, longing, or even confusion. How do you celebrate when your dad wasn’t there? Maybe he passed away, walked away, or was physically present but emotionally distant.
In this conversation, Jordan sits down with Keithen to hear the story of his relationship with his dad: what he learned from him, what he received through him, and how that legacy has shaped the man he is today.
Together, they reflect on the beauty of generational blessing, the quiet power of a father’s example, and the responsibility of carrying what you have received into the lives of others.
Keithen shares openly about why he now feels called to serve, father, and pour into the next generation; offering what was given to him, and becoming part of a story bigger than himself.
We pray this conversation meets you wherever you are today — on Father’s Day.

For many, Father’s Day can stir up a complex mix of emotions—joy, sadness, longing, or even confusion. How do you celebrate when your dad wasn’t there? Maybe he passed away, walked away, or was physically present but emotionally distant.
In this conversation, Jordan and Josh reflect on the beauty of fatherhood, the hope of encountering God as Father, and the deep identity that is formed in that reality. They also explore what it means to experience the pride and delight of the Father in places where there has previously been absence or lack.
Josh shares openly about what he learned from his own father, and the wild, sacred journey of becoming a father himself.
We pray this conversation meets you wherever you are today — on Father’s Day.

For many, Father's Day can often be confusing or difficult to process. How can you celebrate your dad if he wasn't around? Maybe he passed away or walked out on your family. Perhaps he was physically present, but failed to fulfil the role of a father in your life...
Jordan & Tom discuss how Father's Day can evolve from being a day that many often avoid - to becoming an opportunity to celebrate fatherhood and appreciate those who have stepped in as role models, mentors, and father figures.
Tom opens up about his dad suddenly passing away when he was just 8 years old, watching his mother raise 5 kids as a solo parent, and how Father's Day has evolved for him.
