The Most Important Trait You Can Pass to Your Kids (Why Legacy Is Emotional, Not Just Financial)

With Halloween around the corner, we explore the idea of what truly haunts fathers—missed moments, emotional distance, and failing to lead with purpose.</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p1">We dive into what it means to lead a family spiritually without pushing religion, how a father's love for his wife becomes a model for children, and how intentional home culture shapes future generations.
