Absent fathers are America’s hidden crisis | Ian Rowe

Why are so many boys and young men struggling in America today? The answer may lie in a crisis few are talking about: absent fathers.

Host Nic Dunn and contributor Beth Akers are joined by Ian Rowe, author of Agency and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where they dive into why strong families and involved fathers are key to helping the next generation of boys thrive.

From the decline of marriage to the role of purpose, community, and faith, this episode explores what it really takes to raise strong men in today’s culture.
