Kia Stephens is passionate about helping women who lacked the emotional love and support of their fathers. As a child of divorced parents she knows the damaging impact growing up without a father can have on a woman. Kia candidly shares her story as source of encouragement for others. If you missed the love and affirmation of your father due to death, abuse, abandonment, divorce, or you never knew him THERE IS HOPE. God can and will fill the voids within your soul. Kia has experienced this first hand and today she attributes God's AMAZING grace for enabling her to forgive and love her dad. For this reason, she created The Father Swap blog to be a source of encouragement, healing, and practical wisdom for women dealing with the effects of a physically or emotionally absent father.

  1. Kia, I love how you’ve turned your experience of growing up without a father into this beautiful ministry of helping others who experienced the same thing. There’s such wisdom, truth and empathy in what you’ve written. These words especially struck a chord with me today: “We must shift our focus from the man in our lives meeting our needs to God. Men were not designed to perpetually cherish us.” I’m so glad to be your neighbor today at the RaRaLinkup!
