When Dad’s Fully Engaged


We believe

The root cause of Fatherlessness is not:

Political, Racial, Educational or Economic.

It is spiritual.


Scriptural Mandate

“These commandments I give you today are to be on your hearts.

Impress them on your children.Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”

Deuteronomy 6:6-7

The question for fathers:

“Who is to do this?”


Helping dads engage

DISENGAGED DISCIPLING“I will do it.”“They will do it.”


What we do

We produce/distribute Father/Son Bible studies.Also great for “mentor/youth” scenarios.

The interactive studies drive Biblical dialogue.

The best part:Fathers & sons love it!


Tevin Peterson | Nashville, TN

Tevin uses MJ in prison ministry to boys:

“MJ presents a clear and compelling vision of what the Lord’s design for a man really is. Our boys have a new vision for their future - a PRICELESS gift! It’s exactly what they need so they have a chance to make it out of the cycle of poverty, drugs & prison that has plagued their dads & grandfathers.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO! GOD IS USING MJ IN A MIGHTY WAY!”


Tim Downs | Orlando, FL

“MJ has helped us to engage the dads as well as their sons. This is all gravy, the meat is the building of relationships between father and son, prompting conversations that bring them closer together.Additionally, most important is building their relationship with Jesus Christ. The weekend was a huge success.”


Rick Nieves | Cypress, CA

• “Embarking Module far exceeded my expectations.The conversations that came from the questions were awesome and the Holy Spirit ministered in such a beautiful way to both boys and fathers. We all grew and bonded with our sons and each other and agreed to continue on to the next module.”


Kevin Phillips | Murfreesboro, TN

“Manhood Journey is such a blessing to my family and friends. It has been so amazing to chat with others about MJ and see their excitement getting into the journey with their own sons.”


Vickie Hampton | Hopkinton, MA

“Manhood Journey is an outstanding ministry and we are delighted to be participating in it.”
