One in four U.S. children—over 18 million—are growing up without a biological, step, or adoptive dad in the home, and the ripple effects touch incarceration, education, mental health, and the local church. At NRB 2026, ordained minister and national speaker Sean Teis, founder of Life Factors Fatherless Ministries and GodIsMyDad.com, is available to unpack why fatherlessness is “America’s silent crisis” and how the Church can respond with practical, gospel-centered solutions.

Sean grew up fatherless himself after being abandoned before his first birthday, then turned that pain into a national ministry equipping fatherless individuals, single moms, grandparents raising grandchildren, and churches. Through Life Factors and God Is My Dad, he and his family now travel the country helping ministries confront fatherlessness, break generational cycles, and connect hurting kids to their Heavenly Father.

In recent interviews—including Your Biggest Breakthrough (“God Is My Dad: Why Fatherlessness Is America’s Silent Crisis”) and The Good Citizen Podcast’s Father’s Day encore on “The Fatherless Epidemic and How to Respond”—Sean clearly lays out both the sobering data and the hopeful path forward. He explains how fatherlessness drives up youth incarceration (HHS data show roughly 85% of incarcerated youth come from fatherless homes), impacts identity and relationships, and quietly fuels many issues Christian leaders are already trying to address.

Suggested NRB 2026 segment angles:

• “Life Factors: How Fatherlessness Is Shaping the Next Generation” – why this is the number one social issue, with fresh statistics and stories to humanize the crisis.
• “Equipping the Church for Fatherless Ministry” – concrete steps for pastors and lay leaders: mentoring, single-mom support, grandparent caregivers, and integrating fatherless outreach into existing church ministries.
• “From Fatherless to Fathering” – Sean’s personal testimony and how God used mentors, local churches, and Scripture to rewrite his story; ideal for Father’s Day and family/men’s ministry content planning.

Endorsers such as Dr. Elmer Towns (Liberty University) and Lauren Green (Fox News’ Chief Religious Correspondent) have publicly warned that fatherlessness is driving “huge problems in the United States and around the world” and have pointed to Sean as a trusted, experienced voice on this issue. His own “Let’s Talk About Fatherlessness Show” podcast, now 60+ episodes, regularly features leaders serving single moms, fatherless teens, and mentoring and grandparenting ministries—giving him a deep bench of stories and examples to draw from on-air.

Sean is a strong fit for NRB programming focused on: faith and culture, family, men’s ministry, youth ministry, public policy, and church leadership. He is comfortable in short TV/radio hits or longer-form sit-downs, and he can tailor content for broadcasters looking specifically at:

• Fatherlessness as a driver of crime, addiction, and poverty.
• Discipleship strategies for fatherless youth and young adults.
• Encouragement and tools for single moms and grandparents raising grandchildren.
