In this episode of About the Author, host Hannah Harris welcomes counselor, author, and ministry leader Kent Darcie for a focused conversation on father hunger—the deep emotional impact that can occur when a father is absent after divorce. Kent explains how a child’s unmet need for connection, affirmation, and guidance from a father can quietly shape identity, behavior, and relationships well into adulthood.
Kent explores how father hunger affects daughters and sons differently, addressing issues such as self-worth, relational patterns, masculinity, femininity, and the ways individuals seek validation when foundational questions go unanswered. He also discusses how faith, truth, and intentional healing can help adults recognize these patterns and begin restoring what was missing. This episode offers thoughtful insight for anyone seeking to better understand the long-term effects of divorce and the possibility of healing across generations.
