The Power of Loss | Interview With Joe Saenz | Father and Friend #interview

In this episode of Father and Friend, host Tim Anderson sits down with Joe Saenz—pastor, chaplain, police officer, and author of She Saved Her Daddy. Joe opens up about his journey through infertility, adoption, fatherhood, the heartbreaking loss of his daughter, and how faith in Christ transformed his life and family.

Joe Saenz shares his powerful testimony of hope, loss, and redemption. He reflects on growing up with a hardworking but often absent father, his own journey to becoming a dad after years of infertility, and the deep faith lessons he learned after the tragic diagnosis and short life of his daughter. Joe speaks candidly about grief, depression, and the turning point where surrendering to God changed everything.

From selling his gaming setup to devote more time to family, to starting The Forge Ministry and writing She Saved Her Daddy, Joe’s story is one of healing, resilience, and living with intentionality. He emphasizes being present with family, creating meaningful memories, studying Scripture daily, and ensuring his children know both his love and God’s love.
