Podcasts about manhood journey

Faithful. Gentle. Loving. Godly. Patient. These are the kinds of words we hope our kids would use to describe us. But if they were being totally honest, what's the one word they'd actually write down? Would it be something we're proud of—or something that hits a little too close to home, like angry, stressed, or even absent? In this episode, Kent and Lawson walk through a simple but eye-opening exercise that reveals how our day-to-day choices as dads shape how our kids experience us.   The good news? Whatever word they might choose today, it's doesn't have to be the final word. With time, intentionality, and God's help, we can grow into the kind of fathers who reflect the heart of Christ in our homes. There's no guilt trip here—just a real opportunity to reflect, reset, and grow. So whether you walk away from this conversation feeling encouraged or convicted, lean in. You are not a father on accident. So go be a father on purpose.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. Shop Range Leather and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans! https://rangecoffee.com/   Join the Fatherhood Guard as a monthly donor: https://manhoodjourney.org/donate/fatherhood-guard/   Buy Kent's latest book: Don't Bench Yourself on Amazon  Read the new State Of Biblical Fatherhood report here: http://manhoodjourney.org/sobf Find tools to share the report here: https://manhoodjourney.org/sobf-tools   Have a topic you want us to touch on?

In today's episode, we have the privilege of sharing our conversation with pastor and author Mark Batterson. Mark Batterson serves as lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC. He holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Regent University and is the author of 24 books including the New York Times bestselling The Circle Maker as well as In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, and, most recently, A Million Little Miracles. As Mark likes to say, "There's only 2 ways to live your life - as if nothing is a miracle, or as if everything is."   His advice to dads is pretty straightforward: love your family as God has loved you. While this is simple, that doesn't mean it's easy. We get into some practical ways to love our kids as our Father has loved us. "How are your kids going to learn to say sorry if they don't hear it from you?" "We have to help our kids cultivate holy, non-anxious curiosity." "You can't force feed your kids Scripture...but you can live it." "We create the world our kids live in through our words." These are just some of the nuggets of wisdom from today's episode with Mark. We hope this conversation is encouraging, enlightening, and inspires you to go forth as a dad with refreshed love and kindness towards your kids.   Check out Mark's latest book: https://www.markbatterson.com/books/a-million-little-miracles/   -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. Shop Range Leather and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans! https://rangecoffee.com/ Buy Kent's latest book Don't Bench Yourself here: Don't Bench Yourself on Amazon      Read the new State Of Biblical Fatherhood report here: http://manhoodjourney.org/sobf Find tools to share the report here: https://manhoodjourney.org/sobf-tools     Have a topic you want us to touch on?

Ever tried to warn your kids about something and had them roll their eyes so hard it echoed? As dads, we've been down some rough roads—and part of our job is helping our kids avoid the same potholes. But how we offer that wisdom can make all the difference. Come on too strong and we sound like a lecture. Stay too quiet and we miss a chance to guide them. If you want to be heard and influential with your kids, this one's for you. In today's episode, Kent and Lawson dive into how to offer wise counsel that connects, using Solomon's masterclass in Proverbs 7 as a guide. They tackle questions like: How do we talk about modern dangers—porn, fame, vanity, etc.—without sounding like we're yelling from a mountaintop? How do we guide with humility, not certainty? How do we root our advice in relationship, share it through story, and still make the consequences clear? At the end of the day, our kids don't need a fortune-teller. They need a father who's humble, present, and willing to step in, without being a know-it-all. Let's dive in.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. Shop Range Leather and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans! https://rangecoffee.com/ Buy Kent's latest book Don't Bench Yourself here: Don't Bench Yourself on Amazon      Have a topic you want us to touch on?

In this episode of You Can Mentor, host Zach talks with Kent Evans, founder of Manhood Journey, about the role of mentorship in fatherhood. Kent shares how a mentor shaped his teenage years and emphasizes the power of asking questions over giving answers. They explore the dangers of mentoring, the importance of humility, and how mentors should guide mentees in building decision-making skills. The goal is to transition from mentor to friend, creating a space where both mentor and mentee learn from each other.https://manhoodjourney.org/--Takeaways: Mentorship can profoundly impact personal development.Finding mentors who embody the qualities you aspire to is crucial.Asking questions is more effective than providing answers in mentorship.The best mentors learn from their failures and experiences.Mentors should aim to help protégés solve higher-order problems.Life experiences shape our understanding of mentorship.Building relationships with protégés can lead to lifelong friendships.Effective mentorship involves guiding others to think for themselves.Biblical principles can provide a foundation for fatherhood and mentorship.Mentorship is a continuous learning process for both mentors and protégés.

Reggie Jackson is known as one of the greatest homer hitters of all time. In fact, he's the 14th ranked homer hitter in the history of major league baseball. But he also has the dubious honor of being the player who struck out more than anyone else in the history of major league baseball. Question: When he struck out during an at bat, did he take himself out of the game and not go up to bat anymore? On this weeks podcast, Kurt and Chad welcome friend of the show and author Kent Evans of Manhood Journey www.manhoodjourney.org who talks about his new book “Don't Bench Yourself!” on how Dads need to confess and own up to their mistakes, but not take themselves “out of the game” and continue to do the job they've been given - relying on God's grace and mercy and not listening to the voice of the enemy trying to pull us out of the game!

One of the most common pieces of advice given from super successful individuals is bet on yourself. We have to believe that what we are doing is meaningful and that we have a purpose that is worth pursuing even through failures. But there is a reason the super successful individuals are a minority, most people give up on themselves.   I am joined today by my friend and executive director of Manhood Journey, Kent Evans, who recognized this issue and wrote a book to combat it. The book is titled, Don't Bench Yourself, and it is designed to motivate and encourage you to value yourself and stay in the game of life.   Kent and I discuss the book, what it means to not quit on yourself, why that is important, and how you can keep moving forward through adversity.   Get your copy of Don't Bench Yourself: https://amzn.to/4gHa3Wr   Learn more about Kent and Manhood Journey by visiting: manhoodjourney.org   —   Get your copy of the new devotional for dads, Following Our Father: https://amzn.to/4dtGfKD   Get your free gift, a copy of Cut The Crap (E-book): https://fatheringourfuture.com/2024/08/04/free-download-for-new-dads/   Become a financial partner with Fathering Our Future and make a direct impact on dads: https://fatheringourfuture.com/support/

With references to Jim Davis's 'The Great Dechurching,' the speaker emphasizes the critical role of men in the church and society. Addressing how societal views have vilified men, the script suggests a shift from shame-based to affirmational methods to encourage men's return to church. It underscores the importance of wisdom, strong familial structures, and the pivotal role fathers play in mending homes, churches, and communities. The discussion also explores practical steps for church leaders and fathers to nurture a spiritually strong and knowledgeable generation.

The discussion highlights a troubling fact from Jim Davis's book, "The Great Dechurching": nearly 45 million people in North America have stopped attending church over the past two decades. The episode reveals a significant gender gap in church attendance, with congregations typically being 61% female and 39% male. This disparity reflects a broader societal issue where men are undervalued and underrepresented. The lack of male engagement with faith is seen as a barrier to their spiritual growth and leadership in their families and communities. Oxford researcher Jim McNamara points out that mass media often portrays men negatively, which erodes their self-worth and further decreases their involvement in religious settings. Rather than shaming men into returning to church, the episode advocates for affirming and encouraging them. It stresses the need to educate and mentor men, helping them understand their roles and responsibilities rather than reprimanding them. Kent Evans, founder of Manhood Journey, is introduced as a key advocate for revitalizing the family as the cornerstone of society. His focus is on equipping fathers to raise godly men, which strengthens families and churches. Evans shares personal stories and insights on fatherhood, highlighting the importance of wisdom, communication, and aligning actions with God's teachings. He also addresses common challenges fathers face, such as time management and communication, and offers practical advice on improving these areas. The episode concludes with an interactive segment where Evans discusses wisdom through the book of Proverbs, urging fathers to lead by example and be open to feedback.   In summary, "BetterMan 4" calls for a reevaluation of how the church engages with men, promoting a supportive and empowering approach that encourages men to embrace their roles as leaders in their families and communities.

Every father needs the right tools to raise his kids well, and Kent Evans likes to use the analogy of a Swiss Army Knife. His main blades include asking thoughtful questions, seeking wisdom from others, and staying rooted in God's Word. Tune in now to discover why anger isn't an effective parenting strategy—and what you should do instead.    Key Takeaways   Be curious and seek wisdom from the men you know.  Your boys need to hear you acknowledge your weaknesses and imperfections.  Don't connect your apology to your child's behavior.  You don't need to have a sex talk with your son; you need to have an 8-10 year conversation. As dads, most of our anger is not righteous anger.   Kent Evans   Kent Evans is the Executive Director and co-founder of Manhood Journey, a ministry that helps dads become disciple-makers. He's a Christian speaker and author of three books. Kent and his wife, April, have been married for 29 years and have five sons.    Key Quotes   24:36 - "Odds are, the vast majority of things that make you angry are unbiblical, unwise, and unproductive. Let's go explore those together and see what God's Word has to say about it. Because for me, I have discovered over time that there there is a way to look at life through a far less angry lens and to be able to call my anger out when it happens in a way that's more healthy, albeit sometimes more painful. And I just hope I can get some dads to join me on that that journey. Because frankly, we hear from dads all the time who say their number one struggle is anger." 32:51 - "Let all, not some, let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Anger is not to be managed. It is not to be controlled per se, although we should have control over our mouth and our spirit. Anger is to be put away. As we look at it, it's a very challenging topic because our culture and our modern era and our access to news that doesn't matter. Proverbs 16, whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he who rules his spirit, then he who takes a city. Do you have governance over your spirit? Can you rule your spirit? Can I rule my spirit or does my spirit rule me? And we just find anger lurking in the shadows so often, almost every day."   Links from Today's Conversation   Apply to join the Fall 2024 DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org to learn more   Manhood Journey Timothy Keller Books The Anger Free Dad Course Father on Purpose Podcast Kent Evans Books   Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

Most guys are wired to be doers. Too often, we think we aren't achieving anything of purpose unless we're running full-throttle into every fire and fighting every battle. For many of us, action equals success. But Jesus had a different take on what really matters in life. In John 15, He emphasized that our work for God is not nearly as important as the work God accomplishes through us. Resting and abiding might not be our default position; but, as men of God, waiting on Him is our only hope for enjoying the fruit He alone can provide.   Help other dads discover this podcast.

It's always better to be a giver than a receiver, and the greatest gift guys can give their wives, their kids, their friends, and their co-workers is the gift of time. But truly investing time requires more than our physical presence. We've got to give the people closest to us our undivided attention. We've got to put the distractions on the shelf and really plug into the words and hearts of those around us. In such a noisy and chaotic culture, that can be easier said than done; but it's the only way to make and maintain strong connections in the relationships that matter most.   Help make this podcast possible.

Flip on the television, listen to the radio, or search the internet. It won't take long to discover just how badly our world needs some good news—a breath of fresh air in a culture that so often chokes out the positive. And since good news is so hard to come by outside the walls of our homes, dads need to make sure they're breathing life and hope into the people closest to them. You hold the key to ensuring good news takes root and grows in your house. Proverbs 25 offers some great insight into giving your family a safe space and the impact of sharing a cold cup of water with the thirsty souls living under your roof.   Help make this podcast possible.

As dads, we have the power to lift our kids to unbelievable heights or tear them down with devastating results. The key is what we say and how we say it. Words mean things, so we have to be intentional about guarding what comes out of our mouths. We'll dig into what Proverbs 25 has to say about the force our words carry in the lives of our kids and look for practical ideas that will help us speak life as fathers.   Help make this podcast possible.

There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance; and, even as Christian men, we fight the temptation to cross it. Truth is, God never created us to go it alone or live on an island. We're made to do life together with other believers within the body of Christ. In our ongoing study of Romans 12, we'll reflect on what it means to keep a humble view of ourselves and the importance of fulfilling our role within the body.   Subscribe to Mountain Monday to get your week started off right: https://bit.ly/SubtoMountainMonday   Not sure where you're headed as a dad?

If you've ever used a cookie cutter, then you know what the world wants to do to you. The broken and sinful spirit of today's culture wants to shape us into its image. But as believers, we are called to a higher standard. Instead of being conformed to a failing system, we are challenged to be transformed into the likeness—the shape—of Christ. As we continue our study of Romans 12, we'll zero in on verse 2 and learn how being transformed can help us become the men God created us to be.   What is Manhood Journey?

Sacrifices were a vital part of worship in Old Testament Israel because they foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. What we forget sometimes is that God still challenges us to offer sacrifices to Him. These days, the offerings aren't sheep, bulls, and goats. Instead, God expects us to surrender our very lives to Him. This week's podcast marks the beginning of a series on Romans 12. As we dig into the incredible passage of Scripture, we'll see what it means to be a living sacrifice—and the practical impact that can have on our lives as men, husbands, and fathers.   Not sure where you're headed as a dad?

When a basketball player steps to the line for a free throw, he has to be relaxed. He also has to trust the countless hours of repetition he has invested in the process. In some ways, overcoming worry works the same way. We serve a mighty God who is absolutely trustworthy. So, we can relax and rest in Him. On top of that, the more we put that trust into practice, the easier it becomes to replace our anxieties with faith in Him. In today's episode, we'll continue our conversation about kicking worry to the curb by sharing some practical ideas for growing in our faith.   Gain the confidence to become the man you were called to be.

Let's be honest . . . none of us have to look very far to find something to worry about. As guys, we've got our hands full trying to keep any number of plates spinning: marriage, fatherhood, career, faith, and so much more. And all of them provide fertile ground for anxiety to take root and grow. But God calls us to let go of our fears and to put our trust fully in Him. In this podcast, we'll see what the Bible says about dumping worry in favor of steadfast faith in the One who loves us and longs for us to live in His peace.   Subscribe to Mountain Monday to get your week started off right: https://bit.ly/SubtoMountainMonday   Not sure where you're headed as a dad?

Genetics ensure that your kids will inherit some of your physical characteristics. But it's modeling that guarantees that they will pick up on the things that matter most in life. When it comes to being a dad, more is caught than taught, so you need to make sure the example you set reflects the spiritual and relational integrity you want your kids to imitate—because they will imitate you. In this podcast, we'll dig into the topic of modeling and the impact it can have on your family, both now and into eternity.   Subscribe to Mountain Monday to get your week started off right: https://bit.ly/SubtoMountainMonday   Not sure where you're headed as a dad?

As a husband and dad, you've likely hit some rough patches over the years. Yet, so many guys feel completely overwhelmed by the struggles they face and the pain they experience.

As dads, we often feel the tension of being in the world without being of the world. We struggle with keeping our own standards high while helping our kids see life as it really is. Fathers who master this art of processing life with their sons and daughters take huge steps toward preparing them for the spiritual challenges and battles that lie ahead. In today's episode, we'll talk about how you can walk that fine line and set your kids up to win moving forward.   Special thanks to our ministry partner, BetterMan.

Every father wants the best for his children. But before they can help their kids become the best version of themselves, many fathers need to discover their own true identity. Author Clarence Shuler longs to help men escape the darkness of depression, anxiety, and insecurity so they can walk in the light of their true relationship with their heavenly Father. In this episode, we'll talk about Clarence's new book, Finding Hope in a Dark Place, and discuss some practical ways fathers can become all that God created them to be.   Check out Clarence's new book, Finding Hope in a Dark Place: https://amzn.to/3v4uaXT   Not sure where you're headed as a dad?

Host Clay Howerton interviews the founder and Executive Director of Manhood Journey, Kent Evans.

Kent Evans is the Executive Director and co-founder of Manhood Journey, a ministry that helps fathers become disciple-makers. After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He’s appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He’s spoken at parenting and men’s events. His first book, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. Learn more at https://manhoodjourney.org/ or https://fatheronpurpose.org/  THE TOOLS TOOL #1: TRUST GOD “If you’re headed down the path of being a godly dad, you won’t get too far without something guiding your direction. You’re gonna need a true north. Trusting God is the first tool you need in your pack.” TOOL #2: KNOW SCRIPTURE TOOL #3: PRAY FERVENTLY “The more you trust God and the more you know His Word, the more you realize you need Him. You can’t do this alone. You need help. Reliance on God requires communication with God. It’s a two-way transmission that never stops.” TOOL #4: BUILD RELATIONSHIPS “You’re not built to go through this life alone. Forces are waging war against you. For you to have the tool of building relationships, you’ll need to head these relationship killers off at the pass— PRIDE: Self-focus is so subtle you often don’t see it until it’s too late CULTURE: You’re told real men keep silent–if you talk, you’re the odd-man-out COMPETITION: You compete all the time and it’s exhausting.” TOOL #5: SERVE OTHERS “When we serve out of duty, we’re doing it begrudgingly. We do it because we have to. When we’re serving from a place of devotion, we’re serving because we care about the other person. We do it because we choose to. When we serve from a heart of delight, we’re actually, looking forward to serving. We do it because we get to.” TOOL #6: STEWARD RESOURCES “The Godly dad understands everything he has is not his own. His money, time, family, possessions, influence. These are all gifts that must be stewarded well.” TOOL #7: MAKE DISCIPLES “The Godly dad makes disciples. There are two places where you should be discipling others.” https://www.meninthearena.org

What is the one main key point you need to share with the audience of men today on this show? (we only have 30 minutes): If you're a dad - you have an enemy - Satan hates dads because they're an early proxy for God himself. God is our Father, and Satan wants his image. Just "buckle up" if you're a dad, it's rough for all the right reasons. Share examples of questions you like to be asked about this topic: What are some of the key topics you address in the book? (trusting God, knowing the Bible, praying, serving others, etc.). You wrestle with this idea of godly fatherhood being both a journey and a destination, can you explain?

The chemistry between a man and a woman can be off at times. Sometimes we are on two different wavelengths. How do we begin to understand each other as individuals? But come together as a unit to have successful relationships. This week we have a man's perspective to further discuss and obtain some amazing tangible takeaways with Kristofer Stubbs. 

Men can run a company, complete complex projects, and accomplish challenging physical acts. When it comes to emotionally and relationally connecting with a child, however, it can be like speaking a foreign language. Not only is connecting with a child important, but being able to disciple them in the ways of God is even more crucial. On this week’s show, Manhood Journey founder and President Kent Evans talks about his new project - Father on Purpose (http://fatheronpurpose.org) They are partnering with Dads and providing resources to help them talk about the things of God in a way that is purposeful and intentional. (this is a repeat episode from September 2019 - enjoy!)

Us guys don't like asking for directions do we? How much time and money have we lost by not asking for help from others? What about all the struggles in business, relationships, money, and life that may have been avoided if we asked another guy for help? Questions are the gateway to wisdom, but you must ask in order to receive. On today's show, Kent Evans talks about the importance of asking the right questions, often from a pessimistic view as we all learn from our mistakes. Or, at least we should...

Before our community can change, men not women must change physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is what MSF is all about, changing men/youth lives by building healthy relationships with one another to make an impact in our community by leading, protecting and providing for our families!

Kent Evans is a native of Louisville Kentucky. His parents were middle class, hard working people. They divorced when he was 17 or 18. He says he became bitter as a result of that traumatic experience. Vowing to change his own narrative, Kent was able to lean on a community of men who challenged him to understand the concepts of Biblical manhood. His life began to turn around during counseling sessions. The counselor, a “super helpful” man, said, Kent was focused on what he did not want to be when he grew up (i.e., his parents). “You cannot become the ‘un-something.’ Your brain does not know how to not become something. It’s chemically impossible.” The counselor advised Evans to mentally picture who he wanted to be when he grew up. The counselor told him to find other men and women and figure out what they do that he liked and what they had and become a learner of others. Kent said that changed his life. He is now in his mid-40s, and for 30 years he has done exactly that. He decided he wanted to be a godly father and husband. He spent time around such people; that turns out to be a biblical concept, whom your friends are. Now, blessed with a solid 20-year marriage and four sons (with a fifth to be adopted in 2016 from Ethiopia), he is passionate about encouraging men to learn from one another and helping fathers build the next generation of godly men. Kent wants to fight the fatherhood exodus that has taken place for at least the past 40 years. “I have a much better shot of being a godly father if first I’m a godly husband,” he said. He sees many men try to compensate for not being a good husband by being “the world’s best father.” His godly wife, April, makes it easy to love her despite the ups and downs they have had. “I’ve been dealt a good hand,” he said. Kent’s new book “Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You” (June 1, 2016, City on a Hill Studio) proposes the case that any man has the power to influence the life of another for the better. It encourages men to embrace mentorship — both to seek out and provide the godly guidance all men crave. The book shares Kent’s personal stories of 16 men who offered their time, presence and wisdom to help him. The men featured are ordinary guys who brought extraordinary experiences and insight into his life. “Wise Guys” can help you find these types of men to enrich your life. Kent also founded Manhood Journey, a small group program for fathers and their sons that can help fathers be intentional and engaged. The program has been turned into a small group curriculum kit. It is a non-denominational, Bible-based approach to building young men through the discipleship and mentorship of fathers. It features guided Biblical discussion with fun, hands-on, interactive activities. Men can include other young men in their lives – nephews, neighbors or friends. Manhood Journey can be done with one father and son, or in a group. Groups ideally consist of 6 to 8 dads, who each bring their son(s). Young men without engaged dads can participate with another caring man who wants to pour into their life. Groups meet in 6-week sprints at a church or someone’s home, with discussions guided by modules that cover various topics including purity, leadership, temptation, work and career, money, and manhood myths. The young men are normally between the ages of 8 and 17. The program has been used by more than 5,000 fathers and sons in 46 states and 8 countries. It is also used and endorsed by Trail Life USA, the nation’s leading Christian adventure, character and leadership program for young men. Instead of a “top-down” method, Manhood Journey takes a “4D” approach to mentorship – father to father, father to son, son to son and father to the other sons in his group. The Manhood Journey Father’s Starter Kit contains everything a dad needs to start a Manhood Journey Group, including The Embarking Group Discussion Guide, an accompanying 1 on 1 Discussion Guide, a DVD of the introductory videos for all six Manhood Journey modules and a free copy of the new book Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You. Each Manhood Journey Group Discussion Guide provides direction for the group leader. Each Manhood Journey 1 on 1 Discussion Guide includes discussion points and activities for fathers to use with their sons. Wise Guys and Manhood Journey will be available June 1, 2016 at http://cityonahillstudio.com/wise-guys and at retailers nationwide. A free, condensed, e-book version of Wise Guys is available at http://www.manhoodjourney.org/wise-guys. Kent has a powerful testimony regarding manhood and families. I highly recommend that you consider Manhood Journey and Wise Guys.

Kent wants to fight the fatherhood exodus that has taken place for at least the past 40 years.“I have a much better shot of being a godly father if first I’m a godly husband,” he said. He sees many men try to compensate for not being a good husband by being “the world’s best father.”His godly wife, April, makes it easy to love her despite the ups and downs they have had. “I’ve been dealt a good hand,” he said. Kent’s new book “Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You” (June 1, 2016, City on a Hill Studio) proposes the case that any man has the power to influence the life of another for the better. It encourages men to embrace mentorship — both to seek out and provide the godly guidance all men crave. The book shares Kent’s personal stories of 16 men who offered their time, presence and wisdom to help him. The men featured are ordinary guys who brought extraordinary experiences and insight into his life. “Wise Guys” can help you find these types of men to enrich your life.Kent also founded Manhood Journey, a small group program for fathers and their sons that can help fathers be intentional and engaged. The program has been turned into a small group curriculum kit. It is a non-denominational, Bible-based approach to building young men through the discipleship and mentorship of fathers. It features guided Biblical discussion with fun, hands-on, interactive activities. Men can include other young men in their lives – nephews, neighbors or friends. Manhood Journey can be done with one father and son, or in a group. Groups ideally consist of 6 to 8 dads, who each bring their son(s). Young men without engaged dads can participate with another caring man who wants to pour into their life. Groups meet in 6-week sprints at a church or someone’s home, with discussions guided by modules that cover various topics including purity, leadership, temptation, work and career, money, and manhood myths. The young men are normally between the ages of 8 and 17.The program has been used by more than 5,000 fathers and sons in 46 states and 8 countries. It is also used and endorsed by Trail Life USA, the nation’s leading Christian adventure, character and leadership program for young men. Instead of a “top-down” method, Manhood Journey takes a “4D” approach to mentorship – father to father, father to son, son to son and father to the other sons in his group. The Manhood Journey Father’s Starter Kit contains everything a dad needs to start a Manhood Journey Group, including The Embarking Group Discussion Guide, an accompanying 1 on 1 Discussion Guide, a DVD of the introductory videos for all six Manhood Journey modules and a free copy of the new book Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You. Each Manhood Journey Group Discussion Guide provides direction for the group leader. Each Manhood Journey 1 on 1 Discussion Guide includes discussion points and activities for fathers to use with their sons. Wise Guys and Manhood Journey will be available June 1, 2016 at http://cityonahillstudio.com/wise-guys and at retailers nationwide. A free, condensed, e-book version of Wise Guys is available at http://www.manhoodjourney.org/wise-guys.Kent has a powerful testimony regarding manhood and families. I highly recommend that you consider Manhood Journey and Wise Guys.
