Father's Refuge
Father’s Refuge is a safe and compassionate space for fathers who have experienced the loss of a family member and are walking through the long, difficult journey of grief.
Host James Moffitt shares his personal story of losing his daughter, Jessica Ann, to childhood cancer in 2001, and his son, Jeremy, in 2025. Through honest conversations, faith, and reflection, James offers encouragement to fathers who are suffering in silence — reminding them that they are not alone.
Each episode of Father’s Refuge explores real stories of loss, resilience, and hope. It’s a place to find comfort, community, and the courage to keep moving forward with your family and faith intact.
Because even in grief, there is refuge.
