Guest Greg Mayo shares the ways abortion wounds fatherhood, manhood, the heart and spirit of a man. He stresses the importance of affirming to men that their pain is real, it is not imaginary, and there is help available.
Greg identifies drifting after abortion as the passivity which may result from men having their agency removed as others make the decision to end a pregnancy without their input or will. The drifting may then permeate every area of his life.
He is an articulate voice on reclaiming authentic masculinity through a thorough exploration of his experience of losing a child to abortion when he was 18 years old.
Greg says, "As a man, your first job in this world is to protect your family, so when you're participant in abortion, you automatically feel like a failure."
His recommended reading includes When Life Is Hard by James MacDonald.
From his bio: Greg began writing for publication with his high school newspaper. After graduation he worked as a columnist for his college paper and freelanced for dozens of newspapers and magazines.
With a sincere belief that all things can be art and expression, Greg used carpentry and construction as creative outlets for much of his professional life. Today, he works as a real estate broker and podcast host. He continues to build furniture in his spare time but, with his second novel "Almost Daddy" now in print, free time is scarce.
His passion is helping others find peace, forgiveness and restored relationship with God. For Greg, this work is done through story and public speaking. Greg is the author of Almost Daddy and other works. Learn more at his website Almost Daddy.
