Welcome to Dudes Without Dads — where broken stories become stories of redemption. This podcast episode dives into the lasting impact of a fatherless upbringing and how it shapes our relationships. Discover hope and strategies for mental health as we explore the complexities of childhood experiences and redefine what it means to be a father, while navigating emotional challenges.
In this powerful episode, Gabriel Nieves shares his raw and redemptive journey from a fatherless childhood and gang involvement to discovering hope, identity, and purpose in Jesus Christ. Facing a life sentence, Gabriel experienced the radical love of God behind bars, turning his life around and now serving as a pastor in the very city he once terrorized.
