What Every Child Needs From Their Father
from The Father Difference Hosted by Ed Tandy McGlasson
Send us Fan Mail What does your child need from you that nobody else can give? We sit with a question that cuts through the noise, not “How do I become a perfect parent?” but “How do I become a present dad who helps my kids become who God made them to be?” We talk about the power of structure as love, where the key shift is partnership: asking what your teen wants, getting permission to help, and creating clear agreements that build focus in a world shaped by phones, distractions, and instant-gratification fantasies. You will also hear why presence matters even when you get it wrong, including a bear story that is funny on the surface and sobering underneath. We reflect on what father absence does to kids, why your attention signals your child’s value, and why you cannot attach your identity to your child’s performance. If you want Christ-centered fatherhood with clear steps you can take this week, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a dad who needs it, and leave a review with the one habit you are committing to change.
