My name’s Paul Mannino. I work at a church in California as a youth pastor. I’ve been married to my lovely wife, Mary Kate, since 2005; and we now have a baby girl (Evelyn Rita Mannino, “Evie”) who was born on October 22, 2011. My whole life has changed. I want to create a community in which people can share stories of how they are striving to partner with the Church to raise up kids who know who God is, who they are, and how to see people.

* Men who want to be better dads.

* Women who want to be better moms.

* Grandparents who want to be better grandparents.

* Church people who want to do a better job of partnering with families.

I’m an “orange” dad.  I believe that the heart of the home (represented by the color red) and the light of the church (represented by the color yellow) are best and most brilliant when they work together (represented by the color orange…red plus yellow makes orange).  I wear a red hat as a father.  I wear a yellow hat as a member of the Body of Christ (the church).  I strive to be orange.  That’s what orange is all about.
