In this powerful episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, Sean Teis shares how being thrown into a life of fatherlessness at just nine months old became the foundation for a national ministry that brings healing to broken homes. Today, Sean is the founder of God Is My Dad, a faith-based movement equipping fatherless individuals, single moms, and churches to break generational cycles and find lasting hope. We dive into why fatherlessness is America’s silent crisis, affecting over 18 million children, and how the absence of a dad—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—impacts identity, relationships, education, and more. Sean reveals shocking statistics and real-life stories while offering practical tools for churches, parents, mentors, and anyone with a heart to help restore families. Whether you grew up without a father, are raising kids on your own, or want to be part of the solution, this episode will inspire and equip you with God’s truth and healing.
