The Father Difference
The Father Difference Podcast is the podcast for fathers who refuse to be average.
If you’re done settling and ready to become the dad your kids truly need — the one who shows up with strength, love, and purpose — this show is for you.
Every episode delivers practical tools, powerful biblical insight, and straight-talk coaching to help you break old cycles, build unbreakable confidence in your children, and create a legacy of faith and strength that outlives you. Because when God the Father transforms your heart, you gain the power to transform your entire family. One committed dad can change the trajectory of generations — and that dad can be you.
Imagine walking into your home with clarity and confidence. Imagine your kids running to you, not away from you. Imagine being remembered as the father who loved fiercely, led boldly, and left a lasting mark on their lives.
That’s the difference this podcast is here to help you make.
New episodes drop every other week with real stories, honest conversations, and immediately applicable steps designed for busy dads who want real results.
For the past 37 years, I’ve coached and equipped thousands of men across 14 countries. This podcast is the distillation of everything I’ve learned about helping men become the fathers God created them to be.
If you’re ready to step up and make the Father Difference in your family, join me on this journey.

Letting God Lead with Tim Ferrara
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Who is the real leader of your life and story? What is your life really about? Joseph Stowell writes, "While we don’t actually pass out blue ribbons or medals for spiritual accomplishments, we tend to wear them in our attitudes and self-serving chatter. And when we do, we betray the secret we’ve been trying to hide: that life, even when we serve Jesus, is really about “me” after all."
Join us today with Tim Ferrara, who started a Discerning Dad ministry that teaches fathers how to let God lead their life, marriage, and fatherhood. Great men and fathers learn to put God first and follow his leading daily.
Tim Ferrara has grown up in the church and has held various leadership positions in business and church. Tim is currently the Executive Pastor at LifePoint Church in Arizona.
He has a book called Everyday Discernment: The Importance of Spirit-Led Decision Making and multiple YouVersion Bible Plans. Tim also has a podcast called Everyday Discernment, a top-ranked Christian podcast on the Charisma and Edify podcast networks. Tim lives with his wife, Jamie, and their two children in Arizona.
