In this episode the host Rob Stein talks a little about his past and coming from a fatherless home. Then we dive into some of the statistics that come from fatherless homes.

• 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes.
• 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes.
• 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.
• 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes.
• 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.
• 80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes.
• 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes.
• 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in fatherless homes.

What does this mean? We need men to be the fathers they were called to be. The FatherHood Initiative looks to equip and empower men to be just that.
