The Father Difference

The Power of a Present Father - Terry Minor Jr

Ed Tandy McGlasson
There is nothing more powerful to a child than to have a present father. A dad who makes a difference, who is present and willing to make fathering about his sons and daughters. Terry Minor grew up with a father who was always present and says, my dad only missed one practice throughout my young life. His dad played in the NFL before following his calling as a pastor. My Dad laid a foundation of God's love in me, which has helped me follow God's call in my life. My father was there for me through the good days and the bad and taught me how to be the husband and father my family needs. Terry is married to the love of his life Hannah who had three Miscarriages and thought her dream of having children wouldn't happen. After a prayer from Kenneth Copeland, God healed her and gave her two amazing children. Terry Minor Jr has been active in the DJ scene and shared the stage with artists such as Manafest, Canton Jones, Mr. Del, K-Drama, Pettidee, Philip Renner, and many more. Originally from Knoxville, TN, Terry packed his bags and moved to Texas. Terry has always been attracted to the music culture from a very young age. From the beats, dancing, and the way music could change an entire atmosphere and even people’s moods and feelings, sound, clothes, swag, etc.Terry is currently the founder of Terry Minor Ministries, which reaches young people through his music, podcasts, and social media. He is truly one of God's young Men of Honor who want their life and family to make a difference for the Glory of God. @Terry Minor Jr @terryminorminhttps://www.tmim.org/listen?fbclid=PAAaYwlSbKYbHz3zcaxsdibCaobt1Xjgw77lTxHqoZuCDhPzN7_5tEs8VJsZM00:00 Opening00:18: Intro02:04 Welcome, Terry Minor02:10 How did your Dad impact your life?04:25 Step-father as Protector09:21 Three types of Love10:57 Always Being Present and Always Doing!17:55 Having Your Dad there gives you Courage19:40 Growing up as a preacher's kid21:42 How does your Dad's story translate to you and your children?24:27 Family Meeting with Dad27:04 Love and Discipline go hand in hand27:50 How have you struggled?30:28 The Orphan's Syndrome31:41 What drew you back to Jesus?34:48 Partying37:38 How did your Dad own his mistakes with you?46:24 What advice would you give to someone who is struggling?53:58 Prayer55:39 "The Difference a Father Makes Book"56:26 It's never too late for God to turn your story aroundWant some help as a husband and father?
