“God is shaking his daughters awake and
summoning us to engage.”
“Absent fathers are defined as those
who do not interact with their
children on a regular basis and
consequently do not play a significant
role in their development. Divorce,
death and abandonment are all forms
of absence”
-USA Today states that 40% of kids whose
parents are divorced have not seen their
father in at least a year.
-Ten years after a divorce, more than two-
thirds of those living with their mother
haven’t see their father for a year.
What can be done about absentee fathers?
By Ron Klinger USA Today July 1998
-Death
-Divorce
-Prison
-Military
-Unwed Pregnancy
-Work (50+ hours, business trips)
-Research shows that girls who grow up
with an absent father begin their
periods earlier in life.
-Girls without a father in the home
were twice as likely to start their
periods by seventh grade and seven
times more likely to experience
pregnancy in adolescence than girls
with fathers who were present.
-Girls with absent father’s have an
altered perception of men.
-Girls without a father in the home
have difficulty forming lasting
relationships.
-Desperation for male attention is also
a ramification of absent fathers.
-girls without fathers more often then
those with present fathers lack
confidence and assurance.
-Girls without a father in the home
have difficulty forming lasting
relationships.
Girls with absent fathers:
-are more likely to be unwed mothers.
-become sexually active earlier.
-less likely to attend college, or finish college.
-low self-esteem, lack of confidence, feelings
of insecurity.
-Impart a daughter with security and
safety
-Identify his daughter as worthy,
valuable and loveable
-Model healthy male-female
relationship
-Affirm his daughter’s gifts, qualities
and talents
-Unlovable
-Incapable
-Worthless
-Insecure, weak
-God can not love me
-God is like my earthly father
-I need a man/husband
-God’s unconditional love
John 15:13, Romans 5:8, 8:32, 38-39,
Ephesians 3:14-19, 1 John 4:7-10
-God is the loving father
Proverbs 3:12, Psalm 68:5,Psalm 146:9
Hebrews 12:9-10, Isaiah9:6 and 1 John
3:1
-God is sufficient
Psalm 23:1, 73:23-26, Colossians 3:9-10
-There is a need to be aware of this
issue and it’s affects on girls and
women
-Be aware of, and look for
opportunities to speak God’s truth into
this brokenness
-Awareness allows us to better walk
with those who will struggle with the
deeply rooted pains caused by an
absent father

Editor's Notes

  1. We live in a sin filled world. How does this wickedness affect us as Christian’s? Does it ignite our souls, so that our hearts overflow with passion for the unprivileged, lost and broken? Do our hearts shatter because of the pain others endure, or do we turn a blind eye to atrocities and hurt because it is easier? Do we allow “someone else” to enter into the pits and aid the lost? These questions should be essential to the Christ follower. She encourages them to take up the mantle of being kingdom-ezers. In response to her reading of Half the Sky, James calls women to be aware of God’s vision for women worldwide. This means we must identify several truths. First, we must identify God’s call on women worldwide regardless of time, socio-economic conditions and extenuating circumstance. Secondly, we must identify the plights of women everywhere. Thirdly, we must steer away from thinking of Biblical messages to women pertaining only to motherhood and wifely duties.

  3. While these lies are often times unconscious they are directly linked to a woman’s experience as a girl. If her father was unable to love her, then she must be unlovable. Believing that God does not love you affect every other area of our lives and relationships. 2. as women, our view of God is often greatly influenced by the men we have known—particularly our fathers. The wisest, kindest earthly father is but a pale reflection of our heavenly Father.” Nancy Leigh Demoss, Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets them Free (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2001), 53.
