06 | Bryan Loritts on Fatherhood, Faith & Raising the Next Generation
July 02, 2026
In this episode, David Kinnaman sits down with pastor, author, and speaker Bryan Loritts to explore new Barna data on men and church attendance, including a striking finding that 62% of married dads are now the most consistent churchgoers of any parent group, outpacing married moms by 15 points. Together, they unpack what's driving men back to church. Bryan brings both the data and the lived experience, sharing what he's learned raising three young adult sons, why the moments that stick are never the ones you planned, and how watching his own kids initiate with him changed the way he thinks about his relationship with his father. Together, they unpack what it means to parent each child according to their unique wiring, how to step out from a father's shadow and into your own identity, and the grace that fatherhood, human and divine, invites us into.Episode Links:
