Kent Evans is a speaker, leader, author, and the co-founder and executive director of Manhood Journey, a ministry dedicated to helping fathers and mentors build the next generation of godly men. Kent has personally experienced how the guidance of godly mentors can change the course of a life. Today, he is blessed with a solid 23-year marriage, five wonderful sons and a relationship with Christ–largely because of what he’s learned from other men.

Are you a dad who’s ever felt sidelined by fear, shame, or criticism?
Kent Evans isn’t just talking theory; he’s lived it. As a father of five boys, an adoptive parent, and a mentor to countless men, he knows firsthand the challenges of modern fatherhood. He’s dedicated his life to equipping dads with the tools they need to lead their families well.
His message is clear: DON’T LET FEAR keep you on the sidelines.

- Children with involved fathers are 39% more likely to graduate college.
- Studies show that children with actively involved fathers have a 27% increase in academic performance.
- Research indicates that men who participate in fatherhood programs experience a 40% reduction in feelings of isolation.
