About This Study Guide

At a glance: this is a 12-week study and discussion guide for Kingdom Man by Tony Evans, with 85 questions organized by reading assignment. Week 1 is free to read, with no card required.

Kingdom Man by Dr. Tony Evans is a bold, pastoral call for men to step out of passivity and into the God-given authority they were created to exercise. Drawing on the biblical concept of the kingdom of God, Evans argues that every man operates under God's rule and is therefore accountable to God for how he leads — in his heart, his home, his church, and his community. The book's thesis is simple but demanding: a kingdom man is not defined by his career, his athleticism, or his cultural performance of manhood, but by his alignment under God's lordship and his willingness to bear responsibility for the domain God has given him. Evans weaves together Scripture, personal stories, cultural observation, and pastoral challenge to show that the crisis of broken families and fractured communities can be traced, in large part, to men who have abdicated their God-ordained role.

This study guide is designed for small groups or individual study over twelve weeks — one week per major section of the book, plus a final week of review and reflection. The best approach is to read the assigned chapter before your group meets, spend time journaling your honest responses to the questions, and then bring your thoughts into the discussion. Some questions will feel convicting; lean into that. Evans writes with a preacher's directness, and this guide tries to honor that spirit — the goal is not simply to acquire information about kingdom manhood but to be personally transformed by it. If you are working through this guide alone, consider finding an accountability partner with whom you can share your answers to the application questions.

By the end of this study, you should have a clearer picture of what it means to live as a man under God's authority and over your God-assigned domain. You should also have identified specific areas — in your inner life, your family, your church involvement, and your community engagement — where you need to grow. More than that, you should leave with a fresh sense of calling: that God has not benched you, that your past does not disqualify you, and that the world is genuinely waiting for kingdom men to rise.

Put a Kingdom Man discussion into practice

Use Kingdom Man’s focus on responsibility to keep the conversation concrete. After a question about home, church or community, invite each participant to name one action within his control and when he plans to take it. At the next meeting, allow time to share what happened before moving to the new reading.

Start with the public sample to see whether the questions fit your group. Paid access includes the complete study guide PDF and printable weekly handouts to use alongside Tony Evans’s book.

Week 1: Introduction — The Crisis of Missing Men

Free — no card
Open Week 1 →

Read the Introduction of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Genesis 2:15; Ezekiel 22:30.

Before diving into what a kingdom man does, Evans wants us to feel the weight of what happens when men are absent — spiritually, morally, and relationally. Let these questions help you sit with that reality honestly.

1.Evans opens by painting a picture of a world in crisis and traces much of it back to the absence of strong, godly men. Without assigning blame unfairly, where do you see the effects of male abdication in your own family history, neighborhood, or community?

2.God told Ezekiel He was looking for a man to 'stand in the gap' (Ezekiel 22:30), but found none. What does it mean to stand in the gap? What gaps exist in your life right now that are waiting for you to step into them?

3.Evans distinguishes between being male by biology and being a man by God's definition. How would you describe that distinction in your own words? How does culture's definition of manhood differ from the kingdom definition Evans begins to sketch?

A note from the founder: I’m Josh, and I built this because most Christian books don’t come with study materials — leaving volunteer leaders to build discussion questions from scratch on a Saturday night. That shouldn’t be the default. If anything about your guide isn’t right, reply to your order email and it comes straight to me.

Week 2: Chapter 1 — A Man and His God

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 1 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Genesis 1:26–28; Matthew 6:33.

1.Evans argues that God's original design in Genesis 1 — the mandate to have 'dominion' — is the starting point for understanding male identity and purpose. What does it mean that man was made in the 'image of God' and given dominion? What does that say about your dignity and your responsibility?

Week 3: Chapter 2 — A Man and His Inner Life

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 2 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Proverbs 4:23; Romans 12:2.

1.Evans emphasizes that a kingdom man's outward leadership is only as strong as his inner life. Proverbs 4:23 says to 'guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.' What does guarding your heart look like in practical terms for a man today?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 4: Chapter 3 — A Man and His Past

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 3 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Philippians 3:13–14; Isaiah 43:18–19.

1.Evans argues that too many men are either stuck in the past (paralyzed by failure and regret) or defined by the past (relying on former glory instead of present faithfulness). Which tendency is more common for you — and how does it show up?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 5: Chapter 4 — A Man and His Marriage

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 4 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Ephesians 5:25–33; Genesis 2:18–25.

1.Evans calls a man to be a 'servant-leader' in marriage — the one who sets the spiritual thermostat of the home. What does servant-leadership look like in marriage, and how is it different from domination on one side or passivity on the other?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 6: Chapter 5 — A Man and His Children

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 5 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4–9; Ephesians 6:4; Psalm 127:3–5.

1.Evans describes children as 'arrows' in Psalm 127 — they are meant to be aimed and released with purpose. What does it mean to 'aim' your children well? What does a child need from a father in order to be aimed toward their God-given destiny rather than just left to drift?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 7: Chapter 6 — A Man and His Work

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 6 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Colossians 3:23–24; Genesis 2:15.

1.Evans roots work in the creation mandate — God placed Adam in the garden 'to work it and take care of it' (Genesis 2:15) before sin entered the picture. How does knowing that work is part of God's original design (not the result of the Fall) change the way you approach your daily work?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 8: Chapter 7 — A Man and His Church

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 7 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Hebrews 10:24–25; 1 Corinthians 12:12–27; Ephesians 4:11–16.

1.Evans points to the alarming reality that many churches are predominantly female in active membership and leadership while men sit on the sidelines. Why do you think so many men are disengaged from the local church? What makes genuine church involvement feel unappealing or optional to men?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 9: Chapter 8 — A Man and His Community

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 8 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Jeremiah 29:7; Matthew 5:13–16; Micah 6:8.

1.God told the exiles in Babylon to 'seek the peace and prosperity of the city' where He had sent them (Jeremiah 29:7). Evans uses this passage to argue that kingdom men are to be city-builders, not just family-protectors. How does this passage expand your sense of calling and responsibility?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 10: Chapter 9 — A Man and His Prayer Life

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 9 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: James 5:16; Luke 18:1–8; Ephesians 6:10–18.

1.Evans states that the prayer of a righteous man is 'powerful and effective' (James 5:16) — which means that prayer is not passive but active, not weak but potent. How does this reframe the way you think about prayer? Does it feel like a weapon or a ritual to you?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 11: Chapter 10 — A Man and His Legacy

All 7 questions →

Read Chapter 10 of Kingdom Man. Key Scripture: Joshua 24:15; Psalm 78:1–7; 2 Timothy 2:2.

1.Evans opens this theme with Joshua's famous declaration: 'As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord' (Joshua 24:15). What makes that statement so powerful? What would it mean for you to make that same declaration — not just as words but as a posture of your whole life?

+ 6 more questions in the full guide

Week 12: Review & Reflection — Stepping Into Your Destiny

All 8 questions →

Review your notes and journal entries from all chapters of Kingdom Man.

1.Looking back over the entire book, which chapter or theme hit you hardest — the one that most exposed a gap between who you are and who God is calling you to be? What made it land so powerfully?

Our guides include questions designed to spark real conversation: questions that connect the book's ideas to personal experience, draw out different perspectives, and help group members open up and share honestly.
