Do you know the essentials of fatherhood? I’m Mark Merrill with today’s Family Minute.  In my new book, All Pro Dad, I lay out seven essential M’s every father must know to love and lead his kids well. The first M is Makeup. To know your Makeup, you have to understand two things—your identity and your gifts. First, your identity. Your identity is who you are. It’s what makes you valuable. You are valuable because of who you are, not because of what you do. Second, your gifts. Every dad needs to understand his incredible gifts. Why is it so important to understand your identity and gifts as a dad? So that you can validate those things in your kids.  Remember, your Family First.
