The Power of a Father: A Conversation with My Dad | Iron Perspective 70

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham sits down with the man who made him who he is his father, Randy Denham. This one is personal, raw, and unlike anything JD has put out before. It's a conversation about fathers, sons, addiction, faith, and the quiet but unmistakable power a man carries that his children will either run from or stand upon when life gets hard. Randy Denham spent the majority of his career running homes for abused children kids abandoned, beaten, and broken by the very people who were supposed to love them most. JD grew up watching his father pull people off the side of the road, sit for 12 hours with a traumatized child just to make her feel safe, and wake up every single morning before the sun to read his Bible alone in a dimly lit room. That was the foundation and JD had no idea how much he was absorbing until the night he was kicking heroin in his dad's house and realized the only strength he had left to stand on was his father's. This episode covers all of it the years of no contact, the phone calls parents dread at 2am, the moment Randy kicked his son out and meant it, and the 714 number that rang one January morning in 2011. It's a conversation about what it means to hold a boundary when your child's life is on the line, why faith is the only thing that gets a parent through it, and why the job of a father isn't to be his son's friend it's to be the rock his family stands on when everything else falls apart. If you're a father, a son, or someone trying to break a cycle this episode is for you.
