We want to take a moment to acknowledge the reality of what you might be feeling as a man right now. If you’re struggling with infertility or loss, we see you. That deep sense of inadequacy, the questions about your identity, and the weight of “How can a man not have children when everything seems to be working?”—those thoughts are real, and they’re heavy.

Maybe you’re healthy, strong, taking all the right steps—seeing doctors, taking supplements, running every test—and you’ve been told everything looks great. Yet, here you are, still waiting. Still asking, “Why God? Why me? Why won’t You give me a child?”

Or maybe you’ve been through the heartbreak of a miscarriage. Your wife or girlfriend got pregnant, and you experienced the devastation of losing a baby you never got to meet. Yet, you became a father to that child, and their name lives on in your heart. But the questions linger: “Why God? Why me? Why this pain?”

The truth is, the desire to be a father is organic, it’s natural, it’s woven into the fabric of who you are. You were designed to carry that desire because you have a Heavenly Father who shares that name with you. And even if you don’t have a biological child, we want to remind you of this: fatherhood is a calling that isn’t defined solely by biology.

Fathers are the men who step into the lives of others to love, to mentor, to sacrifice, to speak life, to protect, and to shape. You were made to be a father—to someone. Whether it’s your own child, a child you welcome into your life, or someone you choose to guide and care for, the role of a father is about so much more than biology.

You’re not alone in this journey, and your story isn’t over.
