Testimony Time

A Son's Testimony 

I vividly remember the dinnertime setting in the Evans household. Sitting down getting ready to eat my mom’s awesome cooking and excited about all of the fun and laughter we would have at the table.

However, dinnertime at the Evans table, which happened every evening without fail, was about much more than eating good food and having fun times. I remember dinnertime being the setting where my father and mother would teach me God’s Word.

My father would lead us in devotions and have each one of us read a scripture and talk about its meaning. Every evening I was reminded that God’s Word is to be the centerpiece of our lives through which all decisions are to be made.

Dear Friend,

I’ve been there. Four kids running around the house. The noise—the chaos—the demands. In our home I was the self-assigned homework-helper, school-chauffeur, game-player, and floor-wrestler. I understand busy. Deadlines. Meetings. And being tired. Yet in all of it, I committed to always being intentional and available for our kids. 

Now that they are all grown and serving the Lord, I look back and say it was worth it. Every bit of it. 

But I hear you. I see you. You’re sitting there at your kitchen table, surrounded by laundry in the living room and dishes in the sink. It’s easy to “outsource” parenting to church, school, neighborhood friends, social media, entertainment, or whatever when it has become hard just to keep up. I get you. I understand. 

That’s why this book isn’t a book about guilt. We’ve all been weary. We’ve all made mistakes. I’ve made my share. But this is a book about discovering the power of seizing today—doing one thing intentionally today in the life of your child and watching that one thing grow. 

Wherever you are in your journey, it’s never too late to apply God’s principles to parenting and experience His power in your home. That’s why I’m excited to offer you my brand-new book, Raising Kingdom Kids, as a way of saying thank you for your gift to support the ministry this month. 

After hundreds of thousands of people read both Kingdom Man and Kingdom Woman, I began getting asked, “What about parenting?” As a result, this book addresses various aspects of parenting based on biblical principles. I had fun writing it and even got my four kids involved as they share different stories and challenges on parenting in the book as well. 

Request yours today, and for thanks of your gift of $50 or more, I’d like to send you the complete seven-sermon series called “Parenting on Purpose.” These resources will make great parenting companions for you. Or—if you have already raised your kids—they will make great gifts for those you love.

Thank you for your support of the ministry as we count on faithful friends like you to enable us to take the teaching of God’s Word around the world. God bless you as you raise up a generation of men and women of the King.

For His Kingdom,
