Bob Allen Kroll is an energetic, passionate, and inspiring Catholic speaker. Bob grew up the oldest of nine in Wisconsin in an alcoholic and abusive home. After starting a family, the emotional, verbal, and physical abuse he endured as a child – especially from his father – began to make its way into his marriage and family life for the worse.

The Father Wound…and Beyond: The Incredible Impact of a Father
There is a wound in almost every man’s heart, an unblessed injury passed down from the one man in our lives who was called to protect and care for us. It cuts deep into our souls, covering us in shame, and revealing the anger or impassivity that men live with every day. Bob details the the difficult relationship he endured with his own father, how this negatively affected his own children and marriage, and the incredible event that changed everything. Do not let the title of this talk intimidate you. There is a reason Bob has received standing ovations after giving this talk – it affects every man to his core, and offers great hope and freedom that men desperately need to hear!
“Bob’s talk will make you laugh and cry. It is a heartfelt and very passionate account of his personal trials and tribulations being raised by his father, then with him raising his son. A powerful testimony of forgiveness we can all be inspired by.” – Barry, Montgomery, AL
“Your presentation…hit me in both directions…how I was treated by my father and what I had done as a father. Luckily, I still have time to fix it, and I started the day after I met you.” – Bob, Scottsdale, AZ
“This is the topic of our time.” -Father Don Calloway, after receiving a copy of Bob’s book, The Father Wound…and Beyond
“I have been recording Catholic conferences for 20 years. In all those years, no talk has personally affected me as much as yours just did.” -George Willett, videographer, 16th Annual Worcester Diocesan Catholic Men’s Conference, Worcester, MA
