April 21, 2026
“America is in trouble. We are in the middle of a fatherhood crisis. One of every four children are raised in fatherless homes.” George Barna, who specializes in studying the religious beliefs and behavior of Americans, and the intersection of faith and culture, reports “only four percent of Americans have a Biblical worldview.
