Aric Manly

Aric is the founder of The Intentional Dad, a community of men, women and families learning and living lives of intimate apprenticeship with Jesus. He is an author, teacher, coach, and spiritual counselor who is passionate about shepherding fellow travelers on the journey toward God’s promises of healing, transformation, and freedom. Aric lives in Michigan, is a father of three, and has been married to his best friend, Mary Jo, for 32 years. He has a Master’s degree in Theological Studies, worked with elementary age kids for five years, and offers more than two decades of experience as a father and, especially, his family’s experience in living out a vision for a ten year initiation process for his sons and daughter. He now invites families to set out on their own journey to discover the indescribable joy of intimate apprenticeship and intentional parenthood with Jesus.
