I sat down with author and journalist Adam Coleman to discuss his experience with America’s fatherlessness crisis, his recent return to Christianity, and how victimhood and identity politics have sabotaged many black Americans. In Adam’s new book, “The Children We Left Behind,” he shares his personal struggle with abandonment, offering a window into the intense emotional scars left by absent fathers and fractured communities. You may also know Adam as a regular contributing writer on our Substack, so it was great to finally sit down together here in the studio.
