Fatherhood, Masculinity & the Battle for Our Kids | Kent Evans on Discipleship, Teens & Tech

Every dad is a disciple-maker—whether he knows it or not.

In this powerful and practical episode of the Patros Podcast, Kent Evans (founder of Manhood Journey) joins Jeff Ford and Allan to tackle the most urgent topics facing Christian fathers today: discipleship, masculinity, teenage transitions, spiritual warfare, and the dangers of unchecked technology.

Kent drops wisdom from decades of experience raising five boys (biological and adopted), building a ministry for fathers, and navigating the real-life pressures men face. From modeling healthy masculinity to setting digital boundaries and understanding your child’s unique developmental needs, this conversation is loaded with insight, humor, and conviction.

Whether you're a dad of toddlers or teens, this episode is for you.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

Every man is discipling—question is where he’s leading.

Jesus is the ultimate model for manhood.

Teen transitions require discernment: childishness vs. foolishness.

Asking questions builds connection better than giving commands.

Tech isn’t neutral—dads must act as watchmen at the gates.

Your marriage is a gospel model for your children.

Wisdom starts with the Word—dads, open your Bible.
