If you’ve ever wondered why some single fathers with good character still can’t move forward in love, this episode is for you.

Jenni & Stephen Hendrix dive into the struggles of single dads:

*• The difference between a deadbeat father and a real single dad*

*• How discipline (or the lack of it) impacts co-parenting and dating*

*• Why some men backslide into old relationships, even when it hurts their child*

*• The fear of custody battles, financial strain, and how the justice system weighs in*

*• What kids really learn when fathers don’t show consistency*

This is not about excuses—it’s about hard truths, real-life stories, and lessons for men and women navigating parenting, love, and boundaries.

Whether you’re a single parent, dating someone with kids, or co-parenting yourself, this conversation will shift how you see responsibility, leadership, and love after separation.
