A JUDGE’S PERSPECTIVE ON MAN UP’S IMPACT

This week’s episode of the Patros Podcast is one you won’t want to miss. We’re honored to have Judge Daryl M. Manning from the Hillsborough County Court in Florida as our guest. Judge Manning, who brings decades of experience as a lawyer, retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army, and now a civil court judge, shares firsthand how Man Up and Go is transforming the lives of fathers—and, in turn, transforming families.

In this episode, Judge Manning pulls back the curtain on what he sees in his courtroom: dads who love their kids but have never been shown how to be present, loving, and engaged fathers. He talks about how Man Up and Go’s Fatherhood Engagement Specialists and volunteer coaches are making a real difference by standing shoulder-to-shoulder with these dads, providing encouragement, discipleship, and practical coaching.

This is not about quick fixes or empty platitudes. It’s not just about helping fathers pay a bill or appear in court—it’s about building brotherhood and equipping these men to thrive for the long haul. Judge Manning shares real-life stories of how dads are stepping up—all because someone believed in them and walked alongside them.

Can you imagine the impact of having someone—like a Man Up volunteer coach—meeting you for lunch, sending a text of encouragement, or taking you fishing, while also guiding you in faith and fatherhood?

That’s what Man Up and Go is all about: creating a supportive brotherhood that transforms lives and families.

This week’s episode isn’t just an inspiring listen—it’s a call to action. If you’ve ever wondered how you can be part of breaking the cycle of fatherlessness, tune in to hear Judge Manning’s powerful perspective and learn more about how you can get involved.
