Don’t Walk Alone This Christmas
What if one five-minute message could strengthen another man’s faith, marriage, and fatherhood?
In this unique and unexpected episode of Father On Purpose, Lawson steps out solo (kind of…) to share a heartfelt encouragement rooted in Scripture, brotherhood, and years of walking alongside Kent Evans. You’ll also get some behind the scenes experience from producer Alex, Kent’s oldest son. If you learn one thing from this episode, we hope it’s this: no dad is meant to do life alone. God gave us the gift of community to sharpen, steady, and strengthen us. This episode also serves as a special thank you to Kent Evans, co-founder of Manhood Journey and the mind behind Father On Purpose. From Lawson, Alex, and the countless dads whose lives have been changed by Kent, we are truly grateful.
Lawson introduces the idea of an “Iron Circle,” a small group of men who walk with you through fatherhood, marriage, and faith. Drawing from Proverbs 27:17, Ecclesiastes 4, and 1 Thessalonians 5, he challenges dads to intentionally encourage the men God has placed in their lives, not someday, but now.
You’ll hear why encouragement is not optional for Christian men, how Kent’s obedience helped shape Manhood Journey, and why Scripture, not personality, must always be the foundation of biblical fatherhood. If you’ve ever felt isolated as a dad, this episode is for you. You are not meant to father alone, so go hunt for community that helps you on your journey of becoming a Father On Purpose. Merry Christmas from Kent, Lawson, and Alex!
