Have You Seen Me?

The core problem of our nation is not political, economic or racial. We don’t need money, innovation, or technology. We have a famine of fathers. Look at any major issue today and a close examination reveals the absence of mature men taking action, serving as role models or calling out immature behavior.

Even problems like natural disasters need fathers. In 2024 we saw strangers act like next door neighbors to grab their chainsaws and shovels to spend days or even weeks serving western North Carolina. It’s usually family men, the kind who commit to marriage and child rearing, that clear their schedule at a moment’s notice and drive hours to face the emotional and physical toll of large-scale death and destruction.

To guide each generation to maturity, thriving societies train boys to steward their physical health. Great societies encourage youths to unleash their natural drive to achieve, compete, set and accomplish goals. Cultures that continue to thrive despite serving as somewhat outcast like the Amish and Jews, encourage young men to become productive and financially independent.

When American boys are told to behave in school, most examples are modeled on female behavior which at best produces compliance but doesn’t call out male potential. Yes, men are dangerous but so is gasoline. When explosive potential is given proper channels, order is produced instead of chaos. And unlike fuel, men don’t need confinement, we need a worldview of responsibility to things larger than ourselves. A valid understanding of history, community and ideals allows men to channel raw strength into construction and service.

And when men understand the incredible potential and responsibility of their sex drive, this most personal need helps forge lifelong commitment to women and the children they create together. Like teachers, good parents understand they must work themselves out of a job. Their truest success is handing the baton to the next generation to not depend on them. And that humble, sacrificing attitude is exactly what our culture has and always will need.

  February 1, 2026

  Fatherlessness is the crisis that will destroy our nation or be the great challenge we conquer. Previous American generations fought slavery and world wars but our battle is to restore men as the key building block of families. If our nation still exists in 100 years, our great-grandchildren won’t trace cultural progress to scientific discoveries,…

  Putting bread on the table has been a primary job description for fathers since the beginning. Most of history’s dads have struggled to ensure daily food but today America’s biggest health problem for our poor and even pets is obesity. We are the most overfed and under nourished society ever. Improving our food supply involves…

• Filling The Father Vacuum

  January 10, 2026

  Many American males get older without growing up. Today we’re more likely to meet a boy who shaves than a man with healthy individual and group identity. The lack of fathers draws boys into violent gangs who offer a parody of true fatherhood. While the gang’s solution is false, the need for male affirmation and…
