We often push “Father wounds” to the rear of the trauma list … but often they are the underlying causation to most of them. In this candid and vulnerable conversation Dave Novak leads us into the depths of despair and pain from father wounds as recounted in his remarkable book “No More Dad Issues”. Dave deals with the burdens, wounds, and frustrations so many men have with their fathers … a trauma that has led many into the depths of depression, suicide and dysfunction.
Are you prepared to break free from the difficulties impacting your emotions, decisions, and relationships due to tension stemming from your dad? Listen and engage with Paul Cole and Dave Novak as we take a heartfelt journey through the dark tunnels of trauma to the sunlight of healing.
Today on Brave Men we not only identify the problem, we boldly declare the solution in Jesus. Here are answers you perhaps thought you’d never find. Answers that will begin to heal the heart of every man brave enough to take a step toward healing.
Dave is a well-known minister who courageously shares his hurts and difficult relationship with his father who was also a minister. He’s boldly honest, uncommonly vulnerable, and vividly transparent with his issues. On this Brave Men episode you’ll discover how to move forward beyond the exhaustive wounds weighing you down. By the end you’ll find yourself liberated with hope for a refreshing new life.
On his deathbed … on his final night alive, Dave’s father finally, tenderly, uttered the words his son had craved for 45 years: I love you.
