Becoming The Father Your Kids Need

from The Father Difference · host Ed Tandy McGlasson

Send us Fan MailWhat if your best parenting move isn’t a new rule but a new posture—seeing what God is already doing in your child and partnering with it? We dive into a fatherhood reset anchored in Jesus’ own rhythm: “The Son can do nothing by himself; he only does what he sees the Father doing.” That single shift changes how we correct, when we speak, and why our kids finally start to listen. Instead of chasing outcomes with pressure and lectures, we learn to lead with presence, questions, and blessings.We open with the honest ache many parents feel: repeating what we swore we’d never do, feeling alone, and not knowing how to reach a drifting child. From there, we unpack a practical path forward. You’ll hear how identity is formed not by performance but by blessing, and how a clear rite-of-passage moment can help a son or daughter stand taller as a young adult. We explore why questions—What do you want me to do for you? What do you sense God showing you?—unlock a child’s voice and train them to hear God for themselves. That shift takes us from command-and-control to wise consultation, especially as kids move into their teens and twenties.If this conversation helps you, subscribe for more, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so others can find it. Want to go deeper?
