Igniting Faith That Goes Beyond Sunday

I speak at men’s conferences, work, family, parenting, and marriage events, and leadership seminars, delivering biblical teaching that inspires groups to live their faith daily. I’m an ordained minister who deeply cherishes God’s Word and loves to make people laugh.

About Kent Evans: Christian Speaker, Author, and Co-Founder of Manhood Journey.

They told me not to write this in first person. But, in third person, he sounds ridiculous. So, here it goes.

First things first: I’m a follower of Jesus, April’s husband for more than 30 years, and the dad of five amazing sons (plus two even amazinger daughters-in-law). We live in Kentucky.

After two decades in the business world, I co-founded Manhood Journey to help dads become disciple makers. I speak at men’s conferences, work, family, parenting, and marriage events, and leadership seminars, host the Father On Purpose podcast with my friend Lawson Brown, and have written a few books along the way.

I take the Bible, my faith, and the gospel seriously. Everything else, a little less so. I strive to use biblical insight, humor, curiosity, and impassioned delivery to encourage audiences to learn, laugh, and grow. I’d be honored to explore whether I might be a good fit for your congregation, team, group, or organization.

Kent’s not trying to be the hero on stage. Jesus is the hero.

He’s just a guy who’s been in the trenches and loves helping people make their faith real at home and at work.

Growing the Biblical Fatherhood Movement.

Manhood Journey exists to equip dads to disciple their families, and Kent’s work builds on that mission.
