David and Louie talk about what led Louie to write this book, statistics on the epidemic of fatherlessness in America, and what Louie hopes people will come to know as they read this book.
Louie Giglio is Pastor of Passion City Church and the Founder of the Passion movement, which exists to call a generation to leverage their lives for the fame of Jesus.

Each year, Passion continues to see 18-25 year olds fill venues across the nation in pursuit of lives lived for God's glory.
In addition to the collegiate gatherings of Passion Conferences, Louie and his wife Shelley lead the teams at Passion City Church, sixstepsrecords and the Passion Global Institute.
