In our latest episode of the Dads With Daughters Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ryan Moore LPC, Ed.S, a remarkable father of five, bi-vocational pastor, and school counselor. 🌟 Ryan shared his journey of fatherhood, bringing a unique perspective shaped by his upbringing, career, faith, and future adventures. Here are some key takeaways: - **Intentional Parenting**: Ryan emphasizes the importance of intentional communication and being gentle with his daughters. Growing up with two sisters, he learned to engage meaningfully and avoid potentially harmful responses. - **Work-Life Balance**: As a counselor at Oxford High School, Ryan experienced the heavy toll of traumatic events. To cope, he initiated board game nights and summer road trips to national parks, maintaining a strong family bond. - **New Adventure**: Ryan and his family are preparing for a profound journey aboard the Africa Mercy ship, providing medical care and spiritual support in Madagascar. This career shift aligns with his long-standing passion for ministry and family life.
