In this powerful episode of Dudes Without Dads, Mike Wiggin shares his raw journey through father wounds, addiction, anger, and performance-based identity—and how grace completely transformed his life, faith, and fatherhood.
Mike opens up about growing up with a performance-driven father, spiraling into drugs and rebellion, and the moment he realized he was becoming the very dad he never wanted to be. Through surrender, repentance, and grace, he learned how to break generational cycles and raise his sons differently.
In this episode, we cover:
- How father wounds shape anger and identity
- Why performance-based love leads to addiction and burnout
- The difference between punishment and godly discipline
- How grace changes the way we parent
- What true surrender to Jesus really looks like
- Breaking generational curses as a man and a father
