In this episode of the Restorative Man Podcast, Chris Bruno and Jesse French sit down with Bart Lillie to explore the legacy of fathering and how it has shaped their lives. Bart reflects on his father's journey from a Michigan farm to Chicago, where he worked at an orphanage and eventually helped launch Spring Hill Camps. He discusses how these stories, some of which were lost to time, have recently come to light, revealing deeper connections between his father’s life and his own work with Restoration Project. Bart also shares how his father’s example of intentionality and care for children foreshadowed his own heart for fathering.
