The Father Difference

Written by: Ed Tandy McGlasson
  • Summary

  • This podcast is about helping dads become better fathers.

    It’s for dads who want to make a big difference in their kids’ lives (and be the best dads they can be) and want their children to have a loving and present father to help them.


    It’s the reason we call it The Father Difference.

    When God the Father makes a difference in us, we can make the same difference in our children's lives.


    Imagine being the father God desires you to be, actively contributing to your children's dreams and future. Being a dad in their life story is crucial, and I believe it’s your most important role in life.


    It only takes one Loving Father to change the course of a family for generations - and one perfect heavenly Father to begin the process in us.

    We will post new podcast shows weekly.

    It is our hope that The Father Difference will equip you to become the father you were meant to be.

    I have coached and equipped men for 34 years in 14 countries.

These are the threads that weave the fabric of strong father-daughter relationships. I share anecdotes and biblical wisdom that shine a light on the simple, yet profound, ways you can become the hero your daughter needs. You'll learn why your role as a father is crucial in shaping her self-esteem and future relationships, and it's not all serious talk – learn how laughter and shared moments can fortify your bond.

  • God's Calling to Men: Be Kind, Not Necessarily Nice with Ken Harrison
    Apr 12 2024

    Unlock the true meaning of biblical manhood with Ken Harrison, Chairman and CEO of Promise Keepers, in a conversation that promises to reshape your understanding of kindness and strength. As your host, Pastor Ed Tandy-McGlasson, I'm thrilled to share a dialogue that defies stereotypes, urging men to embrace a robust Christian character. We contrast the passive 'niceness' often expected from men of faith with the assertive kindness exemplified by legendary heroes of the faith and NFL greats. Dive into a revealing exploration of what it really means to be a kind, virtuous man in today's world.

    This episode isn't just about reflection; it's a call to courageous action. Drawing from my experiences as a former Los Angeles policeman, I recount moments where standing against injustice wasn't just a choice, but a mandate of true virtue. Together with Ken, we navigate the complex challenges of identity and truth, urging you to stand firm in your beliefs, emboldened by scripture and God's life. Our conversation spans from personal transformation stories within men's ministry to the creation of 'fire teams,' advocating for community and accountability as catalysts for profound change.

    Finally, we address the urgent crisis of masculinity, pinpointing the trends that pull men into virtual escapes and away from fulfilling their God-given roles. It's a candid look at the need for risk-embracing living, juxtaposed against a culture that often promotes avoidance and passivity. Hear how living a life of faith and purpose stands as the countermeasure to these societal ills and how, through faith, we can guide others towards more engaged and purposeful living. Join us on this journey to inspire and be inspired, to lead a life marked not only by faith but by action and conviction.
