The Father Difference Devotional

"And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed" (Mark 1:35 ESV).

That’s how He started. Alone with His Father. That time sharpened His eyes—and showed Him what to do, step by step, day by day. It fueled Him. It’s our fuel, too. Want to know God’s plan? Look where He’s moving. Move with Him. That’s the secret, friend—seeing what the Father’s up to and jumping in.

Join the Father Difference daily devotional. A crew of men and women—real people, not saints on stained glass—who dig into God’s word, strain to hear His voice, and step up to do what He calls. No fluff. Just truth that hits hard and sticks.

I’m praying for you, beloved one. Step into this.

Testimonials

"I realized I was not seeing my children the way God sees them. Learning I was a beloved son of my Heavenly Father has changed my life and how I father my sons. I am incredibly grateful, Ed, for your ministry.”

Ed Tandy McGlasson gives a great message on being a father in his book The Difference A Father Makes, which God placed in my hands a few years back. It challenged me to be the father that Jesus has called me to be.

Thank you so much for your devotionals everyday. I love diving into them! Starting my mornings with the daily bread really empowers me through the rest of the day.

Joseph C.

Your coaching and ministry to my son and me has healed a 30-year wound. My dad never taught me how to be a father, and never blessed me in my life. My son and I, for the first time, have forgiven each other. It has been one of the most powerful things I have experienced in my life.

Dave H.

I thank you for the insight and the meeting tonight. I really feel some hope. I believe God put you in my life to give me the hope that I need and coach me to be able to work on my marriage and with my daughter.

Because of Jesus becoming the center of my life, I've had the best month in my entire life! I fully expect it to get better and better, sweeter and sweeter as I learn to lean into the Father's invitation to live under His smile. Thank you for your efforts in the fathering arena on behalf of all His beloved adopted sons and daughters.

God used you not only to set me free from the hurt I had carried from my broken father, but I was able to forgive him and share the love of Jesus with my dad. My life will never be the same.
