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.

The Father Difference
You Do Not Need To Be Perfect To Lead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What kind of father do you want to be when the lights are off, the job is stressful, and your kids are watching how you handle life? We wrestle with a hard truth: families do not need a perfect man. They need a present one. That single shift changes everything, because a father’s steady love becomes the place where kids learn courage, security, and who they are. If you have ever felt discouraged, replaced, or unsure that you matter, this conversation is for you.
We talk about father wounds and the quiet ways they echo through marriage, parenting, and even our faith. Then we get practical about Christian fatherhood: leading with love instead of pressure, building trust that lasts, and speaking identity into your children without trying to control their future. We also draw a sharp line between roles and core identity. When your identity is built on what you do, you live on shaky ground. When your identity is rooted as a beloved son of God, you can lead your family with calm strength and hope.

Naming Father Wounds And Leading With Love
Finding Hope Through Your Core Identity
Presence That Builds Courage In Kids
The Power Of A Father In The Stands
Speaking Life That Changes A Child
SPEAKER_02Well, it is great to be with you guys tonight. I am uh sporting my uh world championship hat for the Los Angeles Rams. No, I did not get a ring. I did not uh plan a team, but I did plan the Rams years ago, hence my gray hair and my titanium niece. So great to be with you tonight. We're gonna talk about really what is it, what does it really mean to become the man your family needs? There's a lot of talk today that's out there about manhood. When does it begin? And how much are men really needed? And and many times we get discouraged as men, not understanding how powerful our role really can be in the life of our children, in the life of our wives, even as if you're a single dad, how powerful that role can be. And so this summer, there's another one of my kids calling me. And um sorry there, Mary. I'm doing a live show, but I love you. Okay, bye. I always pick up from my kids. And so I am uh so grateful to uh share with you tonight uh just a short uh short understanding and outline uh just about your family and you know the difference you make. We're gonna talk about how to really, you know, a family, your family doesn't need a perfect man. Uh he just they just need you to show up and be there. And something amazing happens when you you learn how to really be that father and that man that God's called you to be, and and how it how it helps form in your own children their very life and how they see themselves. And so here's the first thing I want to say to you you will never cease to make a difference as a as a dad, as a father. And so this summer we're revisiting the the whole essence of fatherhood and the power you can have as a dad. And so let's get right into this. Welcome and check out the comments. It's great to see you guys that are here all over Rumble, TikTok, YouTube, I guess two YouTube channels, and and I'm so grateful that you're here tonight. And I can't name everybody, but anyway, just when I say welcome to the father difference. So we're gonna talk about, you know, why you get a break free from those past wounds. I mean, if you think about for a minute, I want you to think about if you could come up with a single word that would describe your relationship with your dad, what would it be? Present, powerful, love me. That's like more than one word. Or like so many guys, absence, you know, fear, question mark. And it's uh it's amazing how those questions that we have, that that that understanding about how our dad saw us, affects us all the way in our life, even into our later years. We're gonna hear about a 95-year-old farmer that turned his whole family around. Amazing story. But before we get that, we're also gonna talk about how to really lead with love and not pressure. It's so easy for you to make fathering about your kids keeping the rules so they don't drive you crazy. And and but how do you really lead with love? Here's another one: speaking identity into your children. I mean, think about how screwed up this current culture of young people are after they've gone to college, maybe then without a loving present dad, or maybe they did have one, and now they've they've come back from college with an alternative identity, an understanding, a brokenness, so many things. And then building the a trust with your children that lasts a lifetime. So we're gonna try to cover those tonight in our in the Father Difference here. And if you want to tune on to this show later, it'll be live on our Father Difference podcast on all the platforms, and also live in our Fatherhood Academy. If that's something I'll let you know about before we get done tonight. So let's get right into it. Here's uh the first picture I want you to think about. And it's it's the prayer that Paul prayed, and it's a prayer that I'm praying for you tonight as we just we talk about this issue of fatherhood. And that this is his prayer. I pray that the eyes of your heart might be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he's called you. I I meet dads all the time, and they don't think that they make much of a difference at all with their children. And I would be absolutely wrong. Even Paul praying this beginning prayer here in Ephesians, he did that because back then the church didn't understand who God had really called them to be. And tonight I'm going to talk about kind of the answer to Paul's prayer. I pray that the eyes of your heart might be in order, that you might know the hope to which he has called you. And when you have hope as a dad, there's not much you can't do. When you don't have hope and you're beating yourself up, or you're rehearsing the same old broken record, or your wife is replaying the broken record over your life over and over again, it it beats you down and you retreat, and you you don't feel like being like you're much of a man at all. And yet your role is so pivotal in the life of the identity of your children. If the devil can knock you out of the game, he will get your kids. That's why you gotta stay in here. That's why I'm I'm jerseying up tonight, because it's game time for us as dads in the world. See, even as he chose us, it says Ephesians 1:4, when you think about your own core identity as a man, it says that he chose us in him before the foundation of the world. Before Jesus said, Let there be light, he chose us to be part of his family. Matter of fact, in verse 3, it talks about that he adopted us and blessed us in the Father. But he chose us to you know to understand that God has chosen you as a father to your children, speaking life in that. You might even be a stepdad. You're just one step away, but the impact you can have can be life-changing for your children. That we should be holy and blameless before him. God, God calls us, he chooses us in him, which means there's there's no no mistakes in him choosing you or choosing me. I remember when I started to learn this, it just was foundational in my own heart of me discovering my true identity, which was, by the way, not an NFL football player. My core identity was to be a son. It still is the only core identity that I have. Now I have roles. I played football, I was a senior pastor of a church, I've traveled and done conferences, and all those things are great. I'm an artist, I'm a plain air artist, and do paintings and and all that, but those are roles that I have. It's not my core identity. And anytime you make your core identity something that you do, what if you lose your job? What if you get older and now you're a grandpa and you don't feel like you have much to offer because you're not, you know, blowing and going it every single day. So we're going to talk about that. See, we were made, and I write this in the Difference of Father Makes book that I wrote, and also The Father You've Always Wanted. We were made by God for a purpose. And when our fathers are there to love and bless us, it gives us courage to become who God's created us to be. And that's one of the most that's the essential role of you being a present, loving dad in the life of your children. It gives them courage to be who God's called them to be. And when you're present and you're there, you don't have to be perfect, but you're there. It's like these kids were fighting one night, going to bed, and they were having a sleepover. And one kid said, You know, my dad's an amazing doctor. He works all the time, and he's a heart surgeon, and he saves lives every day. He's even held a beating heart in his hand, to which the buddies went, Oh, that's pretty amazing. The other one goes, Well, that's nothing. My dad is a scientist, and he's always inventing amazing things in his life. He's the smartest guy that I know. But the third one said, Well, you know, I got I got something even bigger, and they're waiting for this grand thing. He goes, You know, my father is just there every night at work. He comes in my room and he talks to me about my day. That's a powerful dad right there. Because when you have that dad in your life, there's almost nothing you can't do in your own story. And see, you know, when when God even called young Jeremiah, there's this picture of how God changes identity and and fathers young Jeremiah, says to him, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you were born, I consecrated you and appointed you to be a prophet to the nations. The role of him being an incredible prophet to speak God's word to the people of Israel was in the heart of the father way before Jeremiah was born. And now God is speaking to this teenager about his future. Incredibly empowering when you as a dad are secure enough in your own identity with God the Father that you begin to speak those kind of things into the life and the heart of your children. You really are kind of the rudder to calling an identity for your children. And I'm not talking about you, you know, sitting there and prophesying over your children. No, I'm talking about you being present enough to help them discover who God has called them to be. Now, there's a great stepdad in the Bible who's not mentioned enough. But it was Joseph who ended up marrying Mary when she was pregnant with Jesus. Imagine the scandal that the woman you're betrothed to has is now pregnant, and the story goes, she was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, and and and and Jesus himself, you know, was born. The the savior of the world was born right from Mary. Imagine the kind of father that Joseph was. He had Jesus for there's nothing really mentioned in scripture other than that Jesus worked with him. He was a carpenter, and so Jesus probably hung around him. I mean, what did he do? Did he say, hey, I read a scripture today about who you might be? I mean, Joseph knew who he was going to be. Jesus was discovering this as a child, but Joseph was a present guy. And so being present is an incredibly powerful thing for you and for me in our life with our children. Being there, listening, and having all the answers, that's not necessarily the role, but asking great questions is really powerful indeed. And so God calls young Jeremiah before he was born. And so when God designed you, because this is what I found in my years of traveling since I've been 40 years old. You know, I've been in 26 different nations praying and doing ministry and travel and you know, all those kind of things. As the Lord began to download into my heart who I was and the core identity I had, which shifted from a professional football player to beloved son. And that shift, as it began to happen in me, changed how I loved my wife, how I loved and served my church, how I loved and served my children, and now my grandchildren, more than anything else I've done in my life as a man. And I can tell you, for you to become the man that God has called you to be for your family, is the first step is that you've got to know yourself and encounter the fat the only father who can write whatever you carried into this relationship with your wife, or if you're not married as a single dad, into the life of your children. It's just crucial. Because when he designed you, he had a dream in his heart for you on what your life would look like. I mean, think about that. Before he said, let there be light, but and that it was actually the voice of Jesus, because everything that the Bible says of created was created by Jesus and for Jesus. So you think about before that that moment of creation, God's plan for you was already in his heart. From your first breath, God the Father says sought to reveal you, reveal to you that he has always been there rooting you on. If there was a benefit, the benefit was my mom telling me the story that, you know, my dad was a follower of Jesus and he was watching me from heaven. And so I had this, I had this understanding, uh, you know, not that his eyes on me really were the thing to change my life, but it opened me to this possibility that God would even use the death of my dad in my life in such a profound way that it would really help shape me into the man he's called me to be. Because God uses it all the good, the bad, the ugly. He uses it all. And he's, by the way, he's the only one who can do that. And so the God the Father sought to reveal to you that he has always been rooting you on. I remember in the early days of being a football player, I I met a preacher who wrote a book, and he he said, The secret of being, you know, a great football player. He was doing a chapel for one of our teams I was on, and he says, The picture of Jesus in the stands is being the ultimate fan rooting you on. Or your father in the stands. Because I was always looking for my stepdad. It was really powerful to me when when I knew that he was there watching. And I remember we were we're playing against our arch rivals and they're beating us really badly. And they have the ball, they're gonna score another touchdown on us. And I had this player that was just taunting me and just making fun of our team. We were a prep school, and and I was I got seriously angered. This is before Christ in my life, though he's watching me, and I jumped off sides and I just cold cocked him and knocked him out. And of course, they blew the whistles, the referees, they threw me out of the game, and I'm walking out, and out of the corner of my eye, there's my stepdad on the sideline going, way to go, son, way to go. That audience of having him there was incredibly empowering for me. How about you? How about for your children? You being the biggest fan for your kids. See, when you're on the field of life, who's looking at you in the stands? Who's watching you? And and and whose love is empowering you to accomplish everything that you've been called to. See, we we've not been made to just, you know, be like the marble man. Remember that guy who ends up having serious lung issues because of all of his smoking? Kind of the guy who does it all by himself with no help. You know, the world might celebrate people like that, but nobody's completely all by themselves. Everybody needs somebody. Needs somebody who roots them on. I remember Ted Turner years ago at a doing a baccalaureate was in front of all these college students, and he was supposed to say something affirming, and he he rolls out a uh Fortune 500 magazine, and he rolls it out, he goes, This is the secret of my life, and he unrolls that magazine, and it was a picture of Ted Turner on the cover. Forgive the fireworks there. But there was Ted Turner on the cover and and he said, This is the secret of my life. And the students were a little perplexed by this. And then he rolled it up and he held it up into the ceiling. And he said, Is it enough yet, Dad? And he looks at the crowd and he goes, I hated my father. He told me I would be a bum, I would never make any money. And I've spent my whole life trying to prove him wrong. Imagine the vitriol and the problems in his own family, the devastation of that moment that was really never healed that I heard of. And the tabloids talked about this notorious relationships with women, and then his broken relationship with his kids. A father can be incredibly powerful or incredibly broken. And so they're paying attention in your life. And so no matter if you've started out badly or you're or not, God's with you. Hey, there's my buddy Ray Diggs, powerful, powerful man of God. And so, in the difference a father makes, I wrote, there's nothing in life that means more to me than what my dad thinks about me. I mean, even my dead father in my own life. How about you in your life? Maybe your dad was a broken, brutal guy. You don't want that. But what would your life be like? This young football player actually said in the beginning of the difference a father makes. When my dad is watching, there's there's nothing I can't do. And that's such a powerful picture of the difference we can make. Here's my son, Lucas, when he was playing baseball. And he was he was struggling. He was struggling hitting the ball. And he had struck out in the second inning, and he so wanted to hit the ball for me. And I'm there in the stands, and you know, with all the other dads, and many of them are trying to get their sons in the game because they believe that their genetic pool and their own genetics made their son superior to everybody else's son. And of course, the coach's son always gets the pitch. You know, daddy ball. So I'm there, and Lucas is over there. He's a little weepy, and he's just having a hard time. And I walked over to him and he goes, What? And he's sitting right on the edge of the bench. I said, son, I want you to touch my fingers right here. I'm gonna pray for you, and the supernatural power of God's gonna fall on your life. And the next time you get up there, you're not gonna be afraid of the ball. You're gonna hit the ball, and it's gonna ricochet off the center field fence, and you're gonna hit a you're gonna hit an amazing double. And as I spoke those words into him, and I was, I don't know if it was just hope or, but it ended up becoming a prophetic moment with my son. He touched my fingers and smiled at me. I didn't mention that he struck out, I just encouraged him. And so sure enough, there that evening he gets up. We had a runner on third base and one on first base. We were losing the game by two runs. And Luke gets up to the plate, he digs his feet in, backs away, takes his finger, and he points to the center field fence. I kid you not. Takes his bat, points out there, makes the pitcher really mad. Pitcher throws the first ball at Luke's head. He dust himself off, points back again, throws one right over the middle plate, and Luke swung with all his heart, hit that thing right on the knob. I mean, right in the middle of the bat, and just it just sailed out into the outfield over the head of the center field guy, and it had the pole that was on the very top. It would have been a home run another inch or two higher. Ricochet off, and he went to ran it, made it all the way to the second base, jumping up like Kermit the Frog there. And I was just celebrating him. And I learned something. I learned how powerful my words could be with my son. I learned how powerful it is when we begin to speak life into them and to be present. And I'm not saying that, you know, you have to prophesy over your son to do that. But, you know, when's the last time you spoke something into your son or your daughter that changed her whole view of who they see themselves to be? Maybe you never had that happen yourself for yourself. Well, guess what? It's powerful when you do it. See, my my son Lucas caught my smile and knew that he was seen and loved by his father. See, most of the young people today that are struggling, they're struggling because they feel all alone and then there's nobody who sees them. I was in getting my oil change just before the show today, and I saw this gal walk over from her car, and man, I could just see she just some of the hard things she's had to deal with. And so we're there, and uh and I looked at her at the end, we're checking out, and I said, Can I say something to you? I said, You you have you've lived in a really, really hard life. Do you have a dad in your story? She goes, No. I say, that's kind of what I do. I I God brings me daughters like you and sons who don't have dads, and I I help them. I coach them. She goes, Would you coach me? I'm like a perfect stranger. And she's trying to check out, she's not getting weepy, and then I said, Can I pray for you? I said, Give me your hand. I I prayed for her, and she's ringing me up for the oil change. And the other guy, he's just oblivious to the world, is trying to get her to hurry up because they're like, we got to keep this thing rolling. And she goes, I can't I can't believe you're here. I'm so grateful. Gave her my number, sent her a book, blessed her. And I bet you, I bet you, I I am, I might be the first man or father figure who's ever blessed her in her life. That's how much power we have as fathers, not only with our children's life, but in the life of that God brings our way. And so an all an involved father can make an all the difference in the world for your children. You know, his you know, his love and care can be the deciding factor in helping that young one become who he is created to be, because it takes courage to be who God's called you to be, and it takes a family around them. I mean, think about your most significant friends in your life that you have that's helped you get where you are today. Or maybe you've been all alone, and you know, all of us got somebody. Imagine you being having that kind of relationship with your son or daughter to where they want you to be part of their story to help them become everything that God's called them to be, and they want that for the rest of their life.
SPEAKER_01How powerful would that be? It's one of the greatest parts of my whole life.
The Cultural Cost Of Fatherlessness
A Farmer’s Blessing That Healed Generations
SPEAKER_02I mean, I got a wife who loves me and likes me, which is amazing to me. But I have five kids and their spouses who want me in their story. And now I got all these grandchildren that want to be around Papa to teach them things, to bless them, to pray for them, to speak life into them. I mean, imagine what the world would be like if dads were really empowered and encouraged and equipped to be everything God wants them to be. We change the world, man. We would change the world. We would change the dialogue of these kids that are. I mean, imagine how broken and fractured you've got to be as a young person to dress up in black and be part of Antifa and just protest for the sake of protesting. Imagine how devastated and lonely you are. That your only core identity is being violent and destroying stuff. Is that what God really made people for? And you know, the deciding factor in the person that matters most in the world are men just like you, fathers like you, spiritual dads to speak life in, men like you who really take their role vital and serious in their family, in their church, in their community, on the little league fields and basketball and golf and all those places. Imagine you really being a foundational spiritual father to your neighborhood, to your city. Imagine the difference. I mean, that's what Paul meant when he said, you know, you know, you have a thousand instructors, thousands of instructors, but you have very few fathers. And I think God, I think we're living in a season where we need spiritual dads and fathers more than anything else in our culture. And if we lose that as a country, or any country loses that, they cease to exist. Because then the country's gonna be run by the orphans and it'll get ugly and uglier. We've already seen countries that are like that. But what happens when uh a father is engaged and empowered and really is clear about who God's called him to be? See, when your your kids' hearts are are filled with security and trust in a dad who's present, not perfect, notice I didn't say perfect and present, no, present, and loves us when we transition from living for our father's approval then and begin to live from his approval. Imagine why that would happen. That's why Jesus said, you know, the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the father. Powerful stuff. Powerful stuff. Let me just let me take you to this story, and then we're gonna pray together. Because I think I think uh you've probably said, you aren't, yeah, I got it. I got tonight. I was doing an event in Illinois, and a 90-year-old farmer comes up to me and just weeping. And and I knew it was 90 because when I hugged him, I could feel all of his parts. Really skinny, hardworking guy. And and he came up and he said, Would you pray for me? And I said, Sure, what's going on? He goes, you know, I've I've been in the church most of my life. I'm an elder here. I'm a farmer here in Illinois, and and I got my daughter, she's back, she got divorced, and she's living with me back at the house with my granddaughter. And and I heard you speak tonight, and I'm here because I I never once have told my daughter that I love her. It's all about work. And I said, Did your father ever say those words to you? And he just started sobbing. He says, That's all I ever wanted from my dad. He said he would tell me one time that he loved me. It was all about the farm. And I'm, you know, we're third generation farmers, and it's all about the farm, it's about the land, it's about the hard work, it's about that identity of being a farmer. And I said, Well, it wouldn't mean to you if you did that, I think it would change my relationship with my daughter. I said, Well, there's only one way that you can get that in your life. You've got to receive that for yourself. He says, What do you mean? God wants to say those words to you today. Because, see, we're not able to love until we're we're able to love, John says, first John, because he's what first loved us. And so your daughter needs those words will be incredibly powerful if you yourself heard from the father about his love for you. So I prayed for the blessing of the father for him. And he just he wept like he was a little boy. He's weighed his whole life, been wounded his whole life, and he worked hard and did everything. But his biggest disappointment was that he framed his daughter's world the same way. And I prayed for him to be blessed. And I said, now I want you to go home. And with this new understanding that God's now called you and transitioned you from being a farmer to a son who loves to farm. Go bless your daughter. So he gets home and he writes me. And that's what older people do, they don't have email at that level. And he says, I can't tell you what it meant to me. You praying for me at that church. I felt like the father I never got to have showed up in my life for the first time. And I went home and I called my daughter into the kitchen, and I said, Listen, I need to say something to you that God's done in my own life. And I am I am so sorry that I've never said this to you because this is what I really I love you. And I want to say to you this, to you, I love you, because you're my daughter. And she he told me that she collapsed on the floor. Now she's in her 60s. She collapsed on the floor, and he said she became like a little girl saying, Daddy, daddy, I've waited my whole life for this.
SPEAKER_01And he embraced her and he blessed her as his daughter.
Prayer And Fatherhood Academy Invitation
SPEAKER_02And he said he wrote to me and he said, This healed my family. This healed my family. Thank you for what you do. See, when you get clear with who that God loves you, my friend, and that he's called you to be a beloved son, or if you're a daughter watching this and you're because we have people from all these different platforms, how would that change your parenting style? How would that change you as a man? If manhood was actually something God bestowed on you because of his love and his blessing, versus you going out and making a name for yourself or X, Y, and Z, how would that matter and change your family in your life? It would change everything. And so I want to pray for you. And at the end, I want to play a little video about our Fatherhood Academy that where we train and we coach. A big part of our academy is doing one-on-one coaching. Maybe you have some issues in your family, you need some coaching. Well, we have a donation-based system that I would love to get time with you and help you. And we will describe a little bit about some of the course and et cetera. But before we get there, I want to just pray for you. I'm a spiritual papa. Maybe you never had one in your life. Maybe you watch us from time to time, and I'm so grateful that you're here. Means the world to me. So, Lord, I pray for my friends. I pray for their own relationship with you, God is their Father. I pray that you would bless them and that you would open their eyes, and that the core of who you have called them to be is to be your sons and your daughters. And Father, I pray that you would unlock them from those past moments that made them feel like they're in a prison, and that you would restore them and in such a powerful, rich way as your beloved son, and you would show them how to become the father and the man, husband, and father their family needs. In the name of Jesus. Father, restore every one of their children to them. Restore their marriages, Lord, if they're shaky or if they're divorced. Lord, I pray that they would have learned to have a great relationship with the birth mom so that they could raise these children together. I pray, Father, in the name of Jesus, that you would bless them and be there. And I'm so grateful, Lord, that you turn this man's identity away from preacher, evangelist, whatever, professional football player, or the ultimate name chain, broken man into a beloved son. And I pray for this in your life in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Hey, so grateful that you're there. I have a closing video. I'd like to pray for you. And so thank you for your words, Ray. You're amazing. And all my friends all over. Make sure you share this with friends and uh check us out. So Lord bless you.
SPEAKER_00We'll see you next week. Dear friends, imagine a world where every father feels equipped to lead with faith, love, and purpose. A world where families thrive and communities grow stronger because of devoted, Christ-centered fathers.
SPEAKER_02You know, beloved, that is the vision that God's put in my heart for every single family. You know, he is on the move, I believe. He promises in Malachi that before the great and coming day of the Lord, he's gonna do something profound. He's gonna turn the hearts of fathers back towards their children. So the hearts of their children will turn back to their father. That's what God is doing. I meet dads daily who want to learn to be better fathers. Yet many have never been shown how. Too many families are being fractured through bitterness, and with parents and grandparents even being canceled. That's why we're launching an online community to quit and to be the fathers that God has called them to be. It's more than a program, it's a part of a a movement that God is already doing to reshape fatherhood. It's a sacred calling rooted in the teachings of pride. And we're calling this the Fatherhood Academy, where men will embark on a journey of healing and spiritual restoration that helps them transform their family relationship. And to make this vision a reality, would you consider partnering with us financially as we continue to reach and disciple every man, dad, and grandpa that comes our way? Your donation will help create a ripple across the neighborhoods, communities, you know, and ultimately our nation, anchoring each child, here's a vision, in the unwavering love and guidance of a devoted dad.
SPEAKER_00Will you partner with us? Your gift, whether a one-time donation or ongoing monthly support, will help to transform lives.
