Next Third Best Third
070: Healing Father Wounds & Living Your True Identity | How to Overcome Jealousy, Comparison & Isolation
I’ve spent decades walking alongside men who are striving to make the next third of their lives the best third, and I’ve seen a pattern that affects us all: the orphan identity. This isn’t just a theological concept—it’s real, it shapes how we view ourselves, how we approach relationships, and even how we father our children. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Richard Neusch, a man whose heart for others and humility has transformed countless lives, to talk openly about jealousy, comparison, and the wounds that come from growing up without a father.
We dive into what it means to be a son before we can be a father, the impact of self-ambition apart from God, and how isolation and unresolved wounds keep men from thriving. Using examples from scripture and personal stories, we explore how the father’s love can heal, transform, and free us from the lies we’ve believed about our worth. Whether you’ve grown up with absent fathers or carry deep identity wounds, this conversation is for you.
If you’re ready to break free from the patterns of jealousy, comparison, and self-sabotage, and to embrace your true identity as beloved and chosen, this episode will guide you. We talk about how community, honest appraisal, and living from the pleasure of a father can change everything—your relationships, your decisions, and the life you create in the years ahead.
