Todd Wilson

The Family Guy

Todd started Familyman Ministries with this mission: “to remind dads of what’s most important.” How to accomplish this mission has grown, along with the ministry. The original weekly email (the Familyman Weekly) sent out to just over a hundred dads is now sent out to thousands of dads across the country. He wants to remind men that being a dad is the most important job you’ll ever have, and you only get one shot at it! (He has a lot of encouragement for moms too.)

 Todd is the author of Help! I’m Married to a Homeschooling Mom and The Official Book of Homeschooling Cartoons. He is also a is a former pastor. Todd’s humor and gut-honest realness have made him a favorite speaker at homeschool conventions across the country and a guest on Focus on the Family. His articles have appeared in various magazines. Christianity Today also posts his weekly column (The Familyman Weekly) on their website.
