4 markers of manhood

The absence of purpose in fatherless men and boys will create an avalanche of confusion and frustration. Lack of sense shuts a guy down and robs him of destiny, future, and hope. The longer a man lives without a defined purpose, the more entangled and confusing his life becomes.
The identity we presently possess determines how we see ourselves. All life springs forth from our identity. It’s the place where purpose emerges and confidence grows.
The very first thing fatherlessness steals is sonship. Sonship is the relationship between a father and a son. To be able to understand “Father” you must first be a son. Learning relationship is a life long journey.
What are you going to leave behind for your children? Your legacy can be one that comes from emulating the Father, transferring the principles and ideals as seeds to our children. One day, we get the harvest we hoped for well-equipped for life kids who become fantastic adults.

You’re ready to take a step towards breaking generational curses.

Teach Me to Father is a FatherSeekers podcast with honest and hard-hitting tools from guys and some gals who have been right where you are.

Fatherlessness is growing up without positive influence, involvement, engagement, leading, coaching, and training from a man influenced, guided, and governed by Jesus Christ. Now, if we were on a Zoom call, raised hands would be popping up by the hundreds. We must have a baseline from which to operate and work. Jesus Christ is the perfect son. To be a good father, you must first be a good son.

What men are saying

Vaushawn Johnson | Pastor, Executive Director of Adult & Teen Challenge, Green Bay, WI

Over the past decade, I have counseled countless men struggling with addiction and criminal behavior. Yet, the high percentage of men who shared the everyday experience of lacking a father’s presence and role model in their home has been scarcely alarming. Many of these fatherless men were now fathers of their own and had no reference to practically and accurately be fathers to their children. The evident thread for many who fell into such regrettable behaviors was the generational plague of being raised fatherless – yet becoming FatherSeekers.
I can’t think of another person outside Pastor Barry Edgemon that is more passionate, personally qualified and committed, to help raise the standard for all men to heal the wounds of fatherlessness through acquainting men with the best father of all – Heavenly Father.
Duke Matlock | Author, Coach, Founder/President, Invest Leadership Initiative

I’ve known Barry most of my adult life and call him a friend. Like my friend, I too grew up not knowing my dad. Barry gets the spiritual and emotional challenges of reaching manhood without a fatherly influence, as one only can if they have lived the experience. He is uniquely qualified to lead FatherSeekers. I have trusted him many times over the years and continue to do so today. I can confidently recommend him to you.
J Jason Toro | Lead Pastor, Augusta GA

Understanding the love of a father is not as easy, or natural as some may think. This makes understanding the Love of the Father much more complex than many can comprehend. As a Pastor, I am charged with disseminating this for many, yet I struggled with the concept myself. My wife and I were unable to conceive children, yet through adoption, God taught me that being a father went beyond the physical act of conception.
Barry Edgemon has a unique gift to speak into the hearts of men. He engages in conversations that help a generation of men understand their place and purpose in God’s Kingdom. His perspective on the needs of a Fatherless generation can be a tipping point in shifting communities.
