The Dad Difference with Bryan Loritts
What does it really take to be a great father? How can we inspire our kids to reach for more, even if our fathers didn’t show us a good example?
Bryan Loritts is a pastor and the award-winning author of seven books, including The Dad Difference: The 4 Most Important Gifts You Can Give to Your Kids.
Today Bryan teaches us the four RITEs of fatherhood and how to implement each. He tells us how we can be proactive about our operating systems as fathers, becoming constant guides and teachers so that our kids have the best chance of living a meaningful and fulfilling life.
