The Dad I Never Had

30 Days of Healing the Father Wound with God

Your father may have shaped how you see God. He does not get to define Him.

Most Christians carry a wound they have never named: the pain of a distant, absent, passive, or well-meaning but wounded father. That pain does not disappear with time. It grows quiet and goes underground, surfacing in relationships, in anxiety, in theology, and in silence during prayer.

The Dad I Never Had is an honest, theologically grounded 30-day devotional for men and women shaped by what their fathers did not give. It walks readers through naming the father wound, separating an earthly father from the Heavenly Father, breaking generational cycles, and learning to live as a son or daughter rather than a servant earning love.

Along the way it takes up the questions people are often afraid to ask out loud: why God did not stop what happened, what to do if you have become the father you resented, and why it can feel easier to perform for God than to let Him love you.
