✨ What It’s About
Your father may have shaped how you see God. But he doesn’t get to define Him.
Most Christians carry a wound they’ve never named, the pain of a distant, absent, passive, or even well-meaning-but-wounded father. That pain doesn’t disappear with time. It grows quiet, and then it goes underground, showing up in your relationships, your anxiety, your theology, your silence in prayer.
You’ve forgiven. You’ve moved on.
But you still flinch at the word “Father.”
And deep down, you wonder:
Why do I still feel abandoned by a God I’m supposed to trust?
The Dad I Never Had is a raw, honest, and theologically grounded 30-day devotional for Christians ready to stop pretending they’re fine. Written for men and women who were shaped by what their dads didn’t give, and are finally ready to face the impact. It invites you into a deeper kind of healing.
