Meet Pastor Ed Tandy McGlasson
A man who’s walked the turf of NFL stadiums and the tender paths of a pastor’s heart. Once a lineman for the Giants, Jets, and Rams, Ed traded the roar of the crowd for a quieter call: to bring the Father’s blessing to a world aching for it. He’s the founder of The Father Difference, a ministry born from his own story, and a best-selling author whose words have lit up lives across the globe.
Picture a college kid, sidelined by a knee injury, his football dreams slipping away. That’s where Ed’s story takes a turn, where a healing touch from God didn’t just mend his body but reshaped his soul. From that moment, he traded the playbook for the Good Book, stepping into a life of ministry. And oh, what a tale he has to tell! In his blockbuster book, The Difference A Father Makes, Ed opens the scrapbook of his life, marked by the gut-punch of losing his military dad in a 1956 Navy plane crash. Since 2004, this book has flown off shelves (over 630,000 copies!) and now lands free in eager hands across 195 countries. Readers don’t just flip pages - they find hope, healing, and a Father who never leaves.!

What People Are Already Saying…
Jim Daly
President, Focus on the Family
"Too many men believe the key to becoming strong and godly husbands and fathers is to work harder and do more. But in this inspiring new book and course, Ed Tandy McGlasson encourages us first to humbly receive what Christ has given us. From there, our most important relationships can thrive as we live out of the love and blessings God has bestowed so freely upon us.”
John Townsend
Author of the New York Times Bestselling Boundaries Series
“There are few jobs more important than being a father. But so many dads feel unequipped and a bit overwhelmed by the responsibility. Ed Tandy McGlasson provides a deeply personal, practical, and biblical approach. In a warm and vulnerable voice, he guides all fathers to the principles and tools that will help. Highly recommended.”
Brian Holloway
Former NFL New England Patriots All-Pro
“In the NFL, you could always tell the ballplayers who were raised without the father's blessing. They were weak, they complained, they were easily distracted, they lashed out, they were empty shells. When the father has blessed a son or daughter, they are strong and capable; they grow, learn, help, and serve. God gave us an example. Thanks, Ed, for taking this most courageous...”
