The Father Difference

The Father Difference

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. Will you Join Me? Praying for you - Ed McGlasson
