My personality is complex. On any given day, the combination of my mind, will, and emotions might look a little chaotic, but God is not hesitant to delve inside.

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.

Thank you for this authentic honest blog Kia. It is encouraging to know there are others out there who not only understand but are finding victory and peace overcome these old wounds. Healing like forgiveness is a journey not a single event. God bless you and thank you for sharing your journey.
Cozette, It is my honor to share my journey and do life with women JUST LIKE ME! I have discovered HOPE and the LOVE of GOD are so real. I can’t help but pass it on to other women that need it! Thank you so much for your words and for stopping by. I pray God’s love would overwhelm you. – Kia
