Dudes Without Dads Podcast

Dudes Without Dads is a podcast and movement for men who grew up without a father, experienced father wounds, or lacked healthy male leadership—and are now determined to become the dad they never had. Hosted by Joshua Brown, this show features real stories, honest conversations, and expert guidance on healing, identity, manhood, fatherhood, faith, and breaking generational cycles.

We talk about trauma, addiction, forgiveness, leadership, emotional health, and spiritual formation—all through a Christ-centered, hope-focused, and practical lens.

Every episode empowers you to heal from your past, reclaim your identity, build a legacy, and become a man worth following.

You are not alone. Your story is not over. Your fatherhood can be different.
