About this listen

The numbers are staggering. The United States has over 18 million fatherless children—more than any other nation in the world. That’s enough kids to fill New York City twice. But this isn't just a population statistic. It's an unseen epidemic that rips apart the very foundation of a child's life, leaving them four times more likely to live in poverty, 70-85% more likely to end up in prison, and tragically, accounts for 60% of youth suicides.

In this deep-dive, drawn from the raw, necessary conversations, we confront the crisis of fatherlessness. We explore the profound ripple effect—from the lack of protection and security in the home to the desperate search for validation that leads young men and women down dangerous paths. What happens when the King leaves the pride? It’s time to stop looking away, acknowledge the problem, and start figuring out what we, as a society, must do to fix this vital, broken piece of the American home.
