Most men’s ministries struggle—and deep down, a lot of Christian men already know it.

Low engagement. Little transformation. Frustrated leaders and disengaged men.

So what’s actually going wrong?

In this conversation with Kent Evans (Founder of Manhood Journey), we dig into the real reasons men’s ministry often fails—and it’s not what most people think. This episode is part of our series exploring men’s ministry, discipleship, and what it really takes to build strong, faithful men.

Kent shares insights from years of working with fathers and men, and explains why the biggest issue isn’t programming—it’s something much deeper. We also talk about the pressure pastors feel, the responsibility men often avoid, and why everything ultimately comes back to your relationship with God’s Word.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why pastors often avoid or struggle with men’s ministry
- The hidden pressure that keeps men from stepping up as leaders
- Why blaming your church is the wrong starting point
- The real root issue behind most men’s struggles (and how to fix it)
- Why knowing Scripture changes everything for a man
