The Pain Most Women Can’t Explain: How a Father’s Relationship Impacts Faith with Rick Altizer

In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, host Theo McManigle welcomes filmmaker, musician, and storyteller Rick Altizer to discuss his newest documentary, He Calls Me Daughter. Building on themes introduced in his earlier film Show Me the Father, Rick explores how broken or distant relationships with earthly fathers can deeply shape the way people relate to God.
Rick shares the heart behind the film and how a season of prayer led him to create a project specifically designed to help women process father wounds and rediscover their identity as beloved daughters of God. Through powerful testimonies and interviews with leaders such as Alex Kendrick, Shonda Pierce, Meg Meeker, and others, the documentary highlights both the pain of fractured father relationships and the hope found in the gospel.
The conversation also addresses how fathers, husbands, and men more broadly can play a role in healing. Rick explains how behaviors that objectify women can create spiritual barriers that make it harder for wounded women to trust Christ. Ultimately, the film points viewers back to the truth that God’s fatherhood is perfect, unchanging, and rooted in unconditional love.
This episode offers encouragement for fathers, daughters, and families alike—reminding listeners that while earthly fathers may fail, the love and identity offered through Christ remain secure.
