How A Grandpa’s Blessing Shapes Generations

What if the most transformative voice in a child’s life isn’t a parent or a teacher, but a grandfather who delights, blesses, and prays? Pastor Ed shares how grandfathers can restore lost values and steady kids in a culture that confuses identity and rewards performance. 

We talk practicals—how to model growth by sharing what you’re learning now, why asking grandkids to pray for you opens hearts, and how a simple invitation to your circles can spark lifelong guidance. This is a warm, story‑driven call to grandfathers and mentors to become steady anchors of faith, wisdom, and hope. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review with one lesson your grandfather taught you. Your words might be the blessing another family needs.

How are we doing? Okay. I'm here sporting my fun grandpa shirt in Newport Beach, California. We're on a little vacay, but I didn't want to miss this show. We had scheduled this, and so wanted to have some time to share something that I think is absolutely vital to what's going on in the world and what's going on in your family. And it's all about this subject. Grandfathers can restore lost values in your children, your grandchildren in today's society. Grandfathers rock. That's all I gotta tell you. It's one of the most incredible places to be for you as a dad and a mom if you don't have any grandkids first. And so I want to ask the question as we get started today about uh grandfathers and how they affected your life, and maybe how you as a grandpa are affecting the life of your grandkids. I have been incredibly blessed. We have 14 grandchildren, nine granddaughters, and five grandsons, and they are just extraordinary, exhausting, amazing, challenging, all the different back and forth, but we love them. And but I've learned so much from my own grandfather, and so many grandpa out there today. I've we have a number in our coaching community that are actually refathering their children's grandchildren, which is a powerful, powerful mission indeed. But you can have extraordinary, make an extraordinary difference. Oops, I got a start of the show over here on Instagram. That's uh there. Hello, Instagram, welcome. Uh YouTube, uh Rumble. We're on all the all the places by Facebook friends, welcome on Facebook. Would love to have any questions that you might have during the show. I would also love to hear where you are from, and you can drop that in the comment below directly to me. And I would love to connect and serve you here. As I was saying earlier, from my vacay here with my wife, we have a family. We're in actually a beach house for this week, actually, the last two weeks, and it's been a great time with my grandkids and also with my my sweetheart. As sand has made its way into every orifice, it's just incredible. And matter of fact, my grandkids just started school again, and so that's uh here in California, they're back in school, and so today I wanted to talk about the difference the grandfather can make and how how powerful that is, and especially in our in our lost culture today of children, grandparents can be incredibly powerful to those grandchildren. And so you might not even have been a great dad the first time around, but God will, you know, give you another opportunity to learn how to be a great grandpa. And so let's talk a little bit about the difference you can make. And I want to start off by uh telling a story that's incredibly powerful in my own life about my grandpa. There's my grandpa, uh Walter C. Ford. He was actually a rear admiral, he was a very decorated soldier in our military and Navy Admiral, three-star admiral. And I got a lot of time with him after my dad was killed in action. My mother moved home and was there in Annapolis. She moved from California here back to Annapolis, Maryland. And so I spent a lot of time in my grandpa's house. It was an incredible place. It had three stories, all these hood nooks and crannies. One of my favorite places was inside my grandfather's gigantic walk-in closet and all kinds of uniforms. His dress blues, his dress whites. Just a place had pictures all around his study where we would hang out of all the different people he knew. There's Eisenhower, and there's a picture of him, the signing of surrender of the Japanese on the Missouri. He's there with uh Richter, Admiral Richter, my grandfather was also, you know, part of the forming of the CIA, that first chief pizza, to help coordinate between the political branch and the military, you know, back when soldiers were really about being soldiers and or sea captains. And it was it was just uh an incredible day during World War II. And so I would get time with him. My mom would drop me off. My stepdad was out at sea a lot, he was uh traveling quite a bit, was on a submarine for what they used to call the med, and he would be in the Mediterranean for three or four months at a time on a submarine doing what they do, then he would be home. So I spent a lot of time with my mom and with my grandpa. And you know, as I started thinking about you know this moment of sharing with you today, I wanted to share with you just some of the incredible lessons that I learned from my grandfather. And one of them is right on this first slide here. He's I don't know if you can tell it by the the image, but he's pointing at a memorial to Naval Academy. He's pointing at my father's name, and he sent this to me to remind me in my own life when I stepped into doing ministry of the sacrifice that my dad made uh for our country and you know for our nation. And oh, there's my brother Pastor Dumas. Welcome to the father difference. He was the best doggone running back you would ever would ever see on a football field at Yangsan State. Good to see you, my brother. And so my grandfather one day was sitting there with him because you know what one of the things that's incredibly powerful for you and I as men is to know what our dads think about us. Well, what if your dad's not there? Well, it could be a grandpa. And that was that was one of the things that happened for me. And I asked my grandfather one day, sitting out on his porch, and he's reading his paper, and and he had a seat kind of right in front of television. The only thing he watched on TV was the news. He would read the paper, and he would read. And uh he was the first one that taught me about the power of reading and study and preparing yourself. He was a voracious learner, even all the way to 95 years old. He was always growing his mind, such an incredible example. So one day I was sitting with him out on the porch, and I asked him, I said, Grandpa, what do you think about me? And he I remember he closed his paper, you could hear a wrinkle and folded it. And he says, You know, son, I you remind me of somebody. And I said, Who? He said, Well, when I was uh at the Naval Academy and was on the staff or at the Naval Academy and was kind of second in command to the whole Naval Academy. This uh young bushy-haired guy came into my office and knocked on my door, and I said, Can I help you? And he says, Yes, Admiral Ford. If you will create an order to have all the midshipmen uh in the naval academy come to the chapel today, uh, I would love the opportunity of preaching Jesus to him and see how many we could get saved. And he looked at me and he said, So I gave that order and said, Well, Mr. Graham, it was Billy Graham when he was a young evangelist. And he said that Billy went in there and he witnessed just this incredible sermon that he preached, this chapel he did for hundreds and hundreds of midshipmen and had an altar call right there that they generally didn't have happen. He was telling me that he goes, You remind me of him and I uh just was so so blessed by that. And he said, as a matter of fact, upon my death, I am gonna have an order written to the chaplain of the Naval Academy that I want you to do my memorial service. And I son, I want you to preach Jesus to all my relatives, and I will have an order created for all the remaining midshipmen on at the Naval Academy during whenever that I I pass to be at that chapel service. And sure enough, when my grandfather died, I got a call from the chaplain of the Naval Academy and said, you know, I we've gotten a uh you know, an order from your grandfather uh that you were to participate in the chapel service. We're gonna give you a couple of minutes to share what you loved about him. And I being the grandson of Admiral Ford, I say, with all due respect, sir, that wasn't the order. He actually gave me a copy. I am to do the entire service. And preach Jesus to all the midshipmen. And I can tell this guy was incredibly stretched, not happy, but it happened, and I got to lean my head back and do a sermon about my grandfather and about his faith, and had an opportunity for people to receive Christ, to which a number of my family members stood up and hundreds of midshipmen and all across the back. And the reason I share that story and starting is that the most the number one most important thing, grandpa, for you to do with your children is to really help them understand who God has called them to be and teach them how to really receive God's blessing in their own life, under life, to where they start to believe that in the things that God's called them to do, there's nothing that's going to be impossible. And, you know, I I love that verse in Ephesians 1:5, that you know, God has predestined you and I for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ according to the purpose of his will. And I've said this before in our shows, and it's something that I've learned as a father and as a grandfather, is that the the number one most important thing that you transfer into your grandchildren, or if you're a dad watching today, is for them to understand that their ultimate identity, the uh the core identity of their life, is not in what they do for a living. It's not in being a pro football player that I thought I was for years, or a pastor, or some kind of role we have. Because if we have a role that's that we need to fulfill on earth, and that becomes our identity, what if we can't do that anymore? Well, God's given us an identity that transcends us all the way to uh transcends our time on earth all the way to heaven. That's to be a beloved son or daughter. Matter of fact, you know, his promise in 2 Corinthians is I'll be a father to you and you'll be my sons and daughters, says the Lord God Almighty. And for your children right now, I don't know that there's anything more important than with all the crazy confusion that's happening through DEI and all this crazy gender stuff, is one of the most powerful things for you as a grandfather, is to not only receive this for yourself, to make sure that your core identity is steeped in who God has called you to be in your own life, but you help your grandchildren connect to what God's made them for. Because those words that you have, that question that I asked my grandfather, what do you think about me? Is is a question that I I learned to ask him because of all the time he spent with me speaking life into me. And and and I I knew that when I got dropped off, he just wanted to be around me. He loved it. Like I love being around my grandkids. And, you know, without without this external pressure where I feel like I got to change all the time for grandpa to be happy with me, he just took this incredible delight and just wanting to spend time with me. He mattered, he took me out and taught me how to play tennis on clay courts. And you have to shuffle your feet when you play tennis. And little did I know that that's exactly the skill I needed when I entered the National Football League and had to learn how to move my feet and shuffle my feet, be able to get in front of these big 300-pound muscular defensive linemen that were trying to get the quarterback behind me. All this footwork I learned playing tennis, little did I know that that would be translated, learned from my grandfather. So all those things you do with your kids, and and all those things now you do with your grandchildren can turn into these incredible moments of them really discovering the probably the most important thing is my grandpa loves being around me and he likes me. Uh come to you now that you're a grandpa and say, Boy, you've changed. And I and I I remember thinking about this years ago, what what is the magic of a grandpa? And it's not just that you just have them for a while and give them back. It's I think our goal as grandparents is a little different than our goal as parents. Parents, we want to make sure we teach them perfectly and and we look at them, and a lot of times we get our identity from how they're performing. And it seems like our goal is performance as fathers. But as grandfathers, my goal is relationship, and you know, it seems like we probably got it, you know, backwards as fathers. Where I mean, what would happen with your own children if your goal became relationship with them and not performance? Because what I found even with God, when when God saved my life and sent Christ, when Christ came into my life, he wanted a relationship with me so that I would learn how to receive from him so I could be who God has called me to be. It wasn't about performance so that I would get it right. That's what religion does more often than not. And that was a it was a powerful lesson for me in my own life, even with my grandfather, because he wanted he wanted to uh spend time with me. And so when you think about your own children and your grandkids, if your grandpa watching, what would they say your goal is for their life? Because I found is the the stronger the bridge of relationship with your grandchildren, the more input you're gonna have into their life. The weaker that bridge is, the less you can take a you can't bring a 20-pound word of correction on a one-pound bridge. And through that time in relationship, that changes that relationship with them. And so here's a you know, you see this in in Paul's life when when he blesses Timothy, one of his spiritual children. And he's I'm reminded of your sincere faith, the faith that first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and now I'm sure dwells within you. Imagine those words to Timothy in a time where he was completely overwhelmed. And Paul was reminding him in this incredible scripture about the faith that he personally witnessed in his mom and his grandmother that he now sees in him. Notice that it didn't say his father, because in a real way, Paul the Apostle became the really the spiritual father of Timothy in his life. And it completely changed Timothy's life. That's why you don't even have to sire children or to have natural grandchildren. You can be a grandpa right now to somebody who doesn't have a grandfather. Because, see, your words of blessing. Are incredibly powerful in the life of your grandchildren. Because when they know that you like them and you're spending time with them and you're speaking life into them, that's one of those things that you're it's like you're laying a foundation into their life that they will never forget about you. That's what happened with me. That's incredibly powerful. And when when they say to you, Grandpa, what do you think about me? And you deliver on that, man, you don't have to, but by the way, you don't have to have a celebrated admiral grandfather to get the response that you need. What really matters is the power of your words. And you can be like the apostle Paul was to Timothy into the life of your grandchildren by speaking words of blessing. Even something that God speaks to you out of the word of God. Here's a second point about being a grandpa. Invest time in hanging out with stories. You know, stories are the way that all much of the Old Testament is these incredible stories shared from father to son to daughter for generation to generation to generation of faithful men and women who failed, turned to God, was rescued by God, and did extraordinary things. So my grandfather told me stories of breakthroughs, failures in his life. And it gave me a roadmap that I could I could live that same kind of life connected and focused like he was. Well, I'm in that group. How about you? And the glory of children is their fathers. And imagine your children, you know, they spend time telling everybody about that and the amazing father that you are. Is there anything more powerful in the life of man or woman than to have your children bragging to their friends that you hear back of what a good father you're being? And so I would ask my grandfather about, you know, what was it like to uh be in a destroyer group heading back to Pearl Harbor when the Japanese planes were flying into Pearl and attacked Pearl Harbor? He was out there and you saw them come in. They shot down some planes. And just he would sit there and tell me these stories of, and this is what he told me. He would tell me stories of men that he watched who risked their lives in bravery and did extraordinary things aboard his under his command. The whole time it wasn't about him, it was about all the all the men that he saw that were incredible heroes. I love that about my grandpa. And I thought, what did it feel like for you? And he said, Well, I had to trust God because we were in battles even during Midway, the great battle that the Japanese thought was going to happen at Midway, and the you know, American destroyers outflanked them. They they had no idea they were on the other side of the island there, and it really turned to war. And he described what his battleship, his you know, battleship group that was you know there in the Solomon Islands, all the things that they had to go through. And it was just fascinating to me, and it was better than any movie. It was these stories, and and he loved that I wanted to know. And you know, we have a lot of children today who don't know these stories. They don't they don't know about kind of what goes on with you, grandpa. And and these stories were about the good, about the failures, about the things that they learned. And I mean, it was like this this encyclopedia, this living encyclopedia was in front of me. And all I had to do is ask questions. And so you you want to encourage your kids to ask questions, right? They might be the crown of the aged, but they become the crown of the aged when you get to be a part of their lives. You know, point three, you know, teach them to pursue their God-given purpose and dreams. That's one of the things that grandpas are just so good at doing is getting through all the bull hockey and speaking the truth to their grandkids, to helping them understand things and giving them, you know, giving them understanding and even a plan about how to do that. And I love this verse in Deuteronomy, you know, as God is speaking to Moses and He's writing this down, he goes, and these words God is speaking, that I command you today, shall be in your heart. So teach them to your children, diligently to your children, and talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, when you rise. And it's the story of God, it's a story of what he's done in your life, because it never gets old. And so my my grandkids you'll come to me and they'll say, tell me about grandpa, your grandpa, about your your pop, your dad, and how he died, and what happened, and when his plane crashed. And they listen. And they asked me sometimes the same questions over and over again. So, were you sad? I said, No, I was just being born. And he said, Well, you so you never saw your dad? I said, No. And and so they listen to me, and and I tell them that you know, God, you know, became the father of my story. And that's what he does sometimes when you lose your dad, or your he wants to be a father in your life. That they listen and they they take that in. And and one of the things that you do is you talk to them about what you're learning from God's word, and that's different than talking to them about what you want them to learn from God's word. But you you begin to talk to them about what you're learning because one of the fastest ways of teaching a young person to follow you is to share with them about what you're learning so that they invite you in to teach the same thing. And that's really true of older grandkids or teenagers or your teenagers, because when they see you in a place of learning and grateful that you're learning, and then they say, you know, I'd like to do that too. It's such a great open door for you with them. But you know, it's it's really easy as fathers for us to begin, you know, kind of you know, pushing them to you know, learn something that they really need to learn, and they're just not buying it. And it's a it's a different skill altogether to tell on yourself and say, this is what I'm learning. And if you really want to take them to that and you love to say, Would you pray for me? And you get your grandkids to pray for you, it's incredible modeling of how they should do the same thing. And they'll learn that from you. And when they ask questions, and and part of it is you want to encourage them to ask about things, you want to learn about, and you just begin to engage them in the places of their learning and what they're learning, and you wait for those moments when they come up and say, Granddad, how'd you do that? And then boy, you it's a it's an open door. Because you're kind of waiting until God's opening their heart to be ready for you to share those things, and that's incredibly powerful. And that's that's the best uh at being a grandpa. Here's number four, and one more after this is celebrate your grandkids by introducing them to your friends. You know, my granddad would would take me to meet men, I mean, great leaders, great stature. I I can't tell you how many guys, I can't remember all their names. But my grandmy grandfather introduced me to Roger Stalin when I was a young football player, and I would watch him and go to the football games at the Naval Academy, and I was just in awe over his ability as a quarterback, and just as him as just as a godly man. And and so he decided to volunteer for our flag football team for the Naval Academy, and yours truly was his quarterback because he showed me how to throw the football. And so my grandfather even got me with him after a football practice and said, Show him, show my grandson how you do what you do, and he would show me. And so when he ended up doing flag football, he saw me and and said, Yeah, I'll teach you. And he and decided he'd come out and and he wasn't there all the time, but he was one of the coaches on this team. The Naval Academy, you know, sponsored a flag football team. And so the very first game, and the very first play on the kickoff, I I uh caught the ball and I ran back all the way for a touchdown. I was so excited. Everybody's cheering, and I go to the sideline, and I just couldn't wait to see what my coach Roger Strahlbach was going to say. And he looked at me and he kind of crossed his arms like that. He goes, Pretty impressive there, Eddie Mac. He's the first one to call me Eddie Mac. And I said, Well, thanks, coach. He goes, Well, here's the problem I have. On my team, we don't tie our flags and knots so that the opposing team can't rip them off. And that's how you tackle somebody in flag football, you pull off their pull out their flag. We didn't have Velcro back then. He said, now turn yourself into the referee. Oh, I was so hard, and I walked over and said I cheated. And he flip team yard penalty, they brought the ball back. That was an incredible lesson from one of my heroes. And see, when you when you introduce your children to men of stature that you know that have affected your own life, and they begin to sew into your children, they become mentors for even a lifetime. And I remember years later, after being in pro football, I was at the Houstonian Hotel doing a strongman competition, and Roger Stalbeck was a speaker for our event there. And I, you know, we were you know doing all these feats and everything. And I walked up to him, and this is many years later. I walked up to him after a story career with the Dallas Cowboys, and I said, I said, Hello, Mr. Stahlback. And uh, do you remember me? And he looks at me, he sees my name tag. He is, yes, I do. How are you doing there, Eddie Mac? Oh man, it just was like an incredible moment. And he goes, I gotta tell you something. I've been watching what you've been doing because I was going out and sharing my testimony in high schools and churches and college events and citywide campaigns, doing crusade stuff, even with Billy Graham. Said I've been following you, and I I love what you do. And to hear that from a mentor that you were introduced to by your grandfather, such an incredible moment. Well, are there mentors that your children need to connect with? Are there men that who have great honor because of the way they live their life? And so you bring your best friends. And so I started doing that with my children. And I tell you what, those mentors have meant the world to me with my sons, my daughters, and I'm still introducing them and open looking to open doors for my grandchildren and my children to my best friends. It's powerful because you know what, and I found that really busy executives or people that have story careers, they love to have an audience of somebody who wants to learn. And boy, it could be your grandson. And so, but you know, today I look at kids, they many kids feel awkward. They don't they don't know how to live in the world of adults. They're they haven't been invited in. And so maybe inviting them in to your world of influence. Oh, that's vulnerable. You might think, well, my grandson is just a nitwit. Well, the the way to get him in is to lead him in there, invite him in there. It'll mean the world to him. He might not even understand it. But he he watches what he watches the friends you have. And when you got great friends, open doors with your friends. I I did that with all my my closest friends. I introduced them. When my son was trying to, my oldest son was trying to get on the tour. I I tried to introduce him to everybody I knew to help. And they many guys supported him for years and have been a part of his story. And that's just a blessing to me. My daughter Jessica and Mary. And each one of my kids needed something different from me that I'm still learning today about doing that. So you celebrate them and introduce them. And and number five, which is the obvious one, stand in the gap in prayer every single day. I I just encourage you, in light of the the current situations in the world and and all the things that being drilled at your children 24-7, these devices and all the other stuff that's out there, is the prayers of a righteous man. Um James says, avails much. I mean, it's amazing. How about the the prayers of a grandpa? They make a huge difference. And you know, even Ezekiel and that prophetic message, this apocalyptic message, and God saying, I sought for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand the breach before me for the land. May you put in there for the family, that I should not destroy it, right? But I found none. And so what the call was from Ezekiel is to find a man who's willing to stand for his family and pray for protection and faith. Powerful stuff. I mean, look at the look at the result of praying. You see Jacob now blessing Ephraim and Manassas. You know, they were the two sons of Joseph whom he thought he lost because his brother threw him in the ditch. Remember that story? And Joseph, full of himself, got the coat of many colors from his father, in a real sense, the the birthright of the family, the the favor of the dad, and they were all jealous, and they sold him into slavery, and the dad thought that he was gone, and then finally gets reunited. You know, he finds his son Joseph as second in command in Egypt, and solitarily God used all of that stuff that happened to Joseph in his life to save the people of Israel and the world from the famine that came on the earth. And God gave him wisdom, an incredible gift to interpret dreams, incredible story if you've not written. But I love this prayer that this grandpa prays over Ephraim and Nathan. May the God before you, whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, walk faithfully. Wouldn't I be able to pray that prayer over your family where you mention the name of your fathers and your grandfathers? The God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day, the angel who has delivered me from all harm, may he bless these boys, and he puts his hand on them and he blesses them. And God imparts that blessing upon these two sons and the difference they would make in their life. You matter, grandpa, more than you know. If you've uh never read my book, The Difference, How to Become the Husband and Father, you could put in there how to become the grandpa and husband your family needs. Same principles hold true. That would be an incredible thing to bless you with. And all that to say is I'm so grateful that you came today. I know we're towards the end of the summer, but I didn't want to miss my time with you. You mean the world to me, all you that are part of our Fatherhood Academy. We have a short little video that to close out our show here. But I am really grateful to be able to come to you each week and share my heart with you and the things that God is doing in this old football player. And if God can do something in me, boy, there's hope for all of you. And so, all that to say, may the Lord bless you in such profound ways as a grandpa or in the father. May He bless you and use your lives, and may He bless your children and your children's children. And when the day is done and you finish your race, I pray, Lord, that my friends' children and grandchildren would tell the stories that they learned from their grandpa for generations to come. Father, I thank you for these men. I pray you would use them. I pray that they would connect with their children, their grandchildren in ways that maybe was never done for them. And we just thank you and ask you to bless them and heal their families in Jesus' name. If you need some coaching, go to our website at thefatherdifference.com. And uh we would uh be grateful to to be there and to to help you in any kind of way. You need prayer, you can email me at edtandy at the fatherdifference.com.

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.

Coaching, Contact, And Giving Invitation

SPEAKER_01 44:29

You 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 going to do something profound. He's going to 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 men to be the fathers that God has called them to be. It's more than a program, it's a part of a movement that God is already doing to reshape fatherhood as a sacred calling rooted in the teachings of Christ. 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.
