What should be the first step in addressing fatherlessness in America?

The fatherless crisis gripping the nation has severe ramifications, as evidenced by the alarming statistics provided by former NFL star Jack Brewer’s Foundation. A whopping 1 in 4 American children are growing up without a father, leading to a higher propensity for homelessness, behavioral disorders, imprisonment, reliance on public housing, and high school dropouts. This issue underlines the critical need for societal and systemic intervention, as well as the profound importance of father figures in children’s lives. Despite these startling circumstances, the enduring love of our Heavenly Father provides a beacon of hope for these afflicted children.
