Why are so many fathers missing from family life, and what can ordinary men do about it? Deacon Joe Grote shares the story behind his book 'Where Have All the Fathers Gone?' and opens up about fatherhood, male friendship, resilience, family sacrifice, and the kind of heroism that begins at home. From St. Maximilian Kolbe to a family bakery collapse, this conversation explores what men owe their wives, children, friends, and the people placed in front of them every day.
