In the middle of my mentoring meeting, I look down at my watch, and it reads ten minutes until 9:00pm. But I look at my Conversation Guide, and it says it should be 8:20pm. How did I get 30 minutes behind? What do I do now? The answer . . . take a break. What?…
One of the distinguishing characteristics of Radical Mentoring is its requirement that everyone attends every meeting and shows up on time. Like many things, this was born of one motive but then morphed with a wonderful but unintended consequence. In the beginning, I didn’t think it was fair for me, the mentor, to go to…
Over the years, several guys have circled back after their mentoring group and thanked me for being their spiritual father. Even though Radical Mentoring hasn’t used these words, spiritual fatherhood is often the result of our mentoring process. The idea is to come alongside another man in love, help him find and follow Jesus, and…
One of the first questions we hear after a guy (or a church) has embraced the idea of mentoring younger men is, “Where will I get my mentees?” Even if you’ve led a group, there’s a little bit of angst. “Will anyone else want to do this?” Well, unless God calls you away from mentoring,…
A Christianity Today article quoted leadership guru Peter Drucker as saying that the four hardest jobs in America are, in no particular order . . . President of the United States University President CEO of a Hospital Senior Pastor The article’s disclaimer creates some question as to whether or not Drucker actually said this, but…
A few of the guys I’ve mentored have gotten their feelings hurt because I don’t call them. I could hide behind “I’m swamped” or “I’ve got a lot of mentees and not enough time to go around” . . . but I don’t. Truth is they have to call me. There’s a purpose here. Actually, there are…
Over the last few months, I’ve been asked more than once if the Story Retreat matters. I hear things like, “My men are busy . . .” “We don’t have time to get out of town . . .” Over the last few months, I’ve also heard from leaders that the Story Retreat was the…
In a remote village in Thailand stood a 10-foot golden Buddha statue . . . the largest in the world. In the late 18th century, during the Burmese invasion of Thailand, the village monks covered the figure in mud fearing the invaders would steal the statue. Unfortunately, the monks died in the invasion, and the…
One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to say “I told you so” to a leader whose church has just wrapped up their first mentoring season. Not because I want to be right or prove a point, but because mentoring works and I get excited hearing about the impact it’s having in…
Over the last few years, our team has talked internally about the goal of seeing 20,000 men mentored by the end of 2020. We’ve discussed it with our board and at our annual Mentor Summit, and tracked it through conversations with our church partners. But before I tell you where we stand, I want to…
Regi Campbell is an entrepreneur, author, and mentor. He’s been involved in founding 15 companies and has served as CEO four times. He’s written three books: About My Father’s Business, Mentor Like Jesus, and his most recent, What Radical Husbands Do.
But Regi’s passion and calling is mentoring younger men to become all-in Jesus-followers. He is currently leading his 18th mentoring group and has now personally invested in 144 men and indirectly, in their marriages and families. The success of his mentoring groups led Regi to found Radical Mentoring to equip and engage men and their churches in launching intentional men’s small group mentoring. Through the investments of those churches and mentors, over 6,500 men have been mentored.
Regi has been married to Miriam for 50 years. Their two adult children are happily married (with five grandkids between them) and live only a couple of hours away. When he’s not grandfathering, mentoring, or writing, Regi loves music, videography, traveling, and being on, in, or under the water.
As President, Kevins Harris sets the vision and strategy for Radical Mentoring, serving as an evangelist to new audiences and an invaluable resource to churches who have incorporated small group mentoring into their disciple-making strategy.
As a part of Regi Campbell’s 2nd Radical Mentoring group in 2002, Kevin experienced a radical change as a husband, father, and Jesus-follower, leading him to craft the purpose statement that has guided him since . . . “I exist to glorify God by helping others unlock and apply their God-given talents and strengths.”
Kevin grew up in Durham, NC and attended Furman University before moving to Atlanta. Before joining Radical Mentoring, he led a sales team at Wells Real Estate Funds and served in sales positions at CNL and Atlas Energy. He and his wife Susan have two boys, Thomas and Bo. Kevin enjoys coaching his sons, cooking a good meal, reading a good book, and watching a good game.
