In this episode, we dive into a deep discussion with Dylan Phillips, who, through the pain of growing up fatherless, found purpose, identity, and redemption. Dylan shares what it was like growing up in a tough environment without a dad, constantly searching for the kind of leadership and love he saw in the lives of his friends who had strong fathers. His story took a predictable turn—struggles, pain, and misdirection—until the faithful prayers of his grandparents and a real encounter with God changed everything.
Dylan realized his past didn’t have to be a crutch for his future. Now a husband and father of six, his story is a powerful reminder that transformation is possible. He’s not perfect—but his life is proof that God can bring healing, direction, and hope to any man willing to surrender.
Whether you feel broken, unloved, or lost without guidance, Dylan’s journey is a blueprint for breaking the cycle and becoming the man God created you to be—a real example of hope in a world full of confusion.
