S0608: How The ABSENT FATHER Is Affecting Both Boys & Girls | Pastor Simon Mbevi

What happens when boys grow up without fathers…and men grow up without healing?In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Simon Mbevi; a former lawyer turned pastor, leadership trainer, and founder of Transform Nations, a movement dedicated to restoring families, strengthening men, and rebuilding the foundation of society.After losing his father at just 8 years old, Simon’s life was shaped by questions of identity, purpose, and leadership; questions that would later fuel one of Africa’s most impactful transformation programs.Today, his flagship program “Man Enough” has impacted over 50,000 men, helping them confront wounds, rebuild identity, and redefine masculinity with responsibility and purpose.In this episode, he breaks down: The silent crisis of absent fathersThe emotional and generational cost on familiesWhy so many men struggle with purpose and vulnerabilityThe hidden shame men carry but rarely speak aboutWhat intentional fatherhood actually looks likeAnd how programs like Man Enough are restoring identity in men and familiesThis is more than a conversation about men.It’s a conversation about healing families from the inside out.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Intro02:24 – Most Important Lesson About Life03:25 – Why This Work Matters05:08 – The Fatherhood Problem07:32 – Cost of the Absent Father09:17 – The 5 P’s of Fatherhood14:55 – How We Are Formed by Absence18:45 – Intentional Parenting Explained22:24 – Why Community Matters28:32 – Identity, Purpose & Responsibility Crisis32:40 – Why Men Avoid Vulnerability36:58 – Wounds Men Carry in Silence42:34 – The Shame of Father Absence48:10 – Finding Father Figures50:52 – The Success of Man Enough56:25 – Intentional Mothers Program1:00:06 – Final ThoughtsWhy You Should Watch:Because behind every struggling man…is often a story that was never addressed.And behind every broken system…is often a broken family structure.
