Dudes Without Dads Podcast
Dudes Without Dads is a podcast for men who grew up without a father—and are determined to become the dad they never had. Hosted by Joshua Brown, this movement is built on real stories, raw conversations, and the belief that your past doesn’t define your legacy.
Each episode brings together powerful testimonies, expert insights, and practical wisdom to help you break cycles, heal from wounds, and lead with love. Whether you’re a young dad trying to figure it out, a grown man still wrestling with the silence of your childhood, or someone who feels disqualified—this show is for you.
No shame. No sugarcoating. Just hope, healing, and a brotherhood of men becoming better fathers, husbands, and sons.
🔁 New episodes every week — including roundtable talks, guest interviews, and spiritual insights.
📍 Part of the As You Go Network — a movement to make disciples where we live, work, and play.
