Pastor Jason grew up without his dad and once heard his own father say, "I don't have a son named Jason." On this episode of Dudes Without Dads, he shares how God rewrote his story — from a broken home to the pulpit — and how every fatherless son can go get the blessing.

Dr. Wayne Chappelle ("Dr. C") is the psychologist trusted by NBA stars, Olympic gold medalists, and elite Special Operations — and co-author of Heal Your Hurting Mind with Craig Groeschel (#5 NYT Bestseller). In this episode, he brings that clinical wisdom to the men Joshua serves every week: guys who grew up without a dad, or with one who did more damage than good.

Dr. C breaks down what father wounds actually do to the brain, why every man has them, and how to move from victim to survivor. He walks through the diamond analogy, why Michael Phelps ended up in a hospital bed after 20 gold medals, and lays out the concept of the wingman — the brother who will punch you in the face because he loves you.

What you'll learn:
▪️ What high performers hide behind closed doors
▪️ Why walls protect you for a season — then cost you your family
▪️ Victim vs. survivor — helplessness vs. hopefulness
▪️ The diamond analogy: how pressure creates value
▪️ Michael Phelps and the hollowness of the trophy
▪️ Nietzsche vs. Frankl — pleasure vs. purpose
▪️ The wingman every man needs and how to find one
▪️ Tony Cardello: from federal prison to one of the strongest men in Kansas City
▪️ Why provision without presence is still emotional absence
▪️ Romans 8:28 and 8:38–39 — the closing word every man needs to hear
