Episode description
Father's Day Special, the POPScast! This episode we are joined by some heavy-hitters, amazing men and awesome examples Mike Richards, Chris Acosta and Luis Talavera. These dads came onto the pod to chat about the power of a father. Besides the biblical evidence for father's in their children's lives, we dive into statistics such as:

- Children living with their married biological father as opposed to a stepdad did significantly better academically & had stronger chances of graduating high school & college
- By 1st grade boys & girls with present fathers had significantly higher IQ scores
- By 3rd grade boys with fathers scored higher in all achievement tests & got higher grades
- 71% of high school dropouts are from fatherless homes

- Living in a home without a dad has a greater correlation with suicide among teenagers than any other factor
- Among the youth in prison, 85% grow up in fatherless homes
