About My New Book…
I am a wife and a mom of two who us literally in the trenches of motherhood. A few years ago, however, I acted on my desire to be a writer and created The Father Swap Blog to help women exchange their father wounds for the love of God the father.
The Father Swap Blog was created to help women exchange their father wounds for the love of God the Father. We seek to provide a source of encouragement, healing, and practical wisdom for women with physically or emotionally absent fathers. The topics we cover on this site are:
Fathers and Daughters
Relationships
Christianity
Emotional Healing
Relationship with God as Father
On March 7, 2023 I will release my first book, “Overcoming Father Wounds: Exchanging Your Pain for God’s Perfect Love”.
If you have been hurt, neglected, rejected, or abandoned by your father, it may feel like every aspect of life is affected by that broken trust.
Even your relationship with God can feel tenuous, but there is hope.
In this vulnerable book, I share my own story of father wounds, along with offering eye-opening examples from wounded women in Scripture who were transformed by the love of God.
With great compassion, I help you identify your father wounds and offer practical tools to help you overcome insecurity, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and trouble connecting with God as your loving heavenly Father. Take heart.
Your earthly father wounds do not have the last word in your life; God does.
With God, you can be made whole again.

Praise for Kia’s New Book
Lisa

“What a needed message! I was once a little girl twirling around next to my daddy, wishing I could know that he loved me. I understand what it feels like to be rejected, abandoned, and forgotten by my earthly biological father, and I love that Kia so honestly and biblically shows us where to turn—to the arms of our Father, who will never leave or forget us. This resource will help so many!”

“There’s something remarkable about the way a person’s pain can be transformed into purpose.
In Overcoming Father Wounds, Kia Stephens speaks from the faded scars of her own story and is a compassionate guide to all who carry father wounds of their own. Kia’s book is both personal testimony and a practical treatise; her words offer hope and healing. Words that help us discover the power of a heavenly Father’s love.”

“Wounds have the power to break us or lead us to healing, even the ones caused by the men who brought us into this world. In Overcoming Father Wounds, Kia not only gifts us with the vulnerability of her story about healing her own father wounds (with her faith in tow), but she shows us wounded sisters how to do it for ourselves too. What a gift these words are.”

“If you find that your heart holds a pinch when you think of your earthly father—or the absent father you never knew—this helpful and biblical resource will become a balm for your hurting soul. In Overcoming Father Wounds, Kia Stephens helps us relinquish the perpetual pains from our past and lean into the love of our heavenly Father like never before. Highly recommended for all daughters who desperately need to know they are greatly treasured, earnestly wanted, and
eternally loved.”

“Be prepared to be tenderly pried open by Kia Stephen’s Overcoming Father Wounds. I heard myself on the pages, “It’s complicated.” I thought describing my relationship with my own father in those words along with its complex explanation and emotions were mine alone to bear. Kia’s book revealed a diagnosis I didn’t know I had and provided the language and community I had been unknowingly yearning for. Her words were both confronting and comforting in ways I did not know my heart and identity needed. I felt seen, I felt safe, and I felt whole.”

“I have worked in vocational Christian ministry for over three decades and have mentored and walked with women of all ages. The vast majority of these women have unhealthy relationships with their earthly fathers. The unprocessed emotions lead to challenges relationally and spiritually. In her powerful book, Kia Stephens openly shares from her own life and offers insights, Bible teaching, and practical help for women to heal and walk in freedom.”
