They dive deep into the profound and often painful impact of a father's absence on one's life. John shares his personal journey of grappling with his father's suicide at a young age, exploring themes of anger, forgiveness, and ultimate healing that reshaped his understanding of fatherhood and personal relationship with God.

John discusses his book and film, both titled "The Father Effect," which provide insights and resources for healing from a dad's absence and becoming the father one was never able to have.
