The most insidious lies are the ones about your identity.

Are you a man who knows God exists but feels completely intimidated by the Bible? Maybe you have one on your nightstand, but it’s essentially a "good luck charm" or a paperweight. You want to be the dad you never had, but you don't know how to access the "manual."

In this Roundtable episode of Dudes Without Dads, we sit down with Kris Langham to dismantle the myth that the Bible is just an "answer book" or a religious checklist. We share raw stories—from finding the Gospel of John in a prison cell to realizing that God’s Word is actually a "Love Letter" from the Father you never had.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The "Math Book" Mistake: Why looking for quick answers is keeping you from real transformation.
• Where to Start: Why the Gospel of John is the ultimate starting point for men with father wounds.
• Identity Rewiring: How to replace the "old man" narrative with the truth of who God says you are.
• The Battle for the Mind: Why what has your mind has your "becoming."

"Talking about the past heals your present." It’s time to stop hiding behind tradition and start meeting the Dad you never had.

What does fatherlessness do to a man’s heart, identity, and future?

In this deeply moving episode of Dudes Without Dads, Randy Floyd shares his story of growing up without a father, navigating trauma, identity confusion, addiction, and emotional pain—until a life-changing encounter with Jesus at 16 redefined everything.

This conversation explores the long-term effects of father absence, the orphan mindset many men live with, and how God heals father wounds by stepping in as the Father we never had. Randy’s testimony speaks directly to men who feel lost, unseen, or unsure of who they are—and to parents who wonder if their mistakes define their children’s future.

• Growing up without a dad and its impact on masculinity
• How father wounds lead to addiction, pride, and broken relationships
• Identity struggles in men raised without fathers
• God’s heart for the fatherless
