“The O.C.” is home to some of the best surfing in the continental United States. Decades ago, the Beach Boys and Hollywood helped make these California beaches popular, and the sport of surfing take off. Standing on the cliffs overlooking Laguna Beach, Sunset Beach, and Newport Beach, you can see why. It’s captivating. While visiting…

Second, if you’ve been following along over the years, you know we like to experiment (raise your hand if you remember Fresh Fridays) in an effort to send you relevant, practical content. Starting today, on the first…
One time my daughter did a photography workshop with some famous guy. He hired models, set up his shots, and took pictures. Then he had his mentees photograph the same subjects, critiquing what they did. They did it again. And then again. A couple of days later, she sees me taking a picture of my…
Fathers can be mentors, but mentors aren’t necessarily fathers. Mentors choose to mentor, but once a man becomes a father, he is always the father. I believe that’s why God chose the father-son paradigm to explain the relationship He wants with us. God as the permanent, perfect, never going away, never giving up, always giving and forgiving Father. And…
Today’s post comes from Radical Mentoring Executive Director Kevin Harris . . . Occasionally, I will get a mildly panicked phone call from a concerned church leader. Some of their groups aren’t working out as expected. After asking a few questions, I almost always uncover two primary symptoms, and both lead me to a similar…
Sometimes we talk about Radical Mentoring as a disciple-making process and other times we call it a leader development program. So which is it? Is it a distinction without a difference? What is the difference? It’s all about your motive and who you pick as mentees. The Message paraphrase of Matthew 28:19-20 includes these words:…
Empty seats are a waste. Whenever I see a bunch of empty seats on a MARTA train, I think “billions of dollars invested to carry seven people!” I used to have the same thought when boarding a plane, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen empty seats there. Almost every church has empty…
For many of us, the idea of a men’s conference brings to mind this chain of events . . . show up with a new notebook, get ‘talked at’ for a few days, participate in mostly shallow conversation with various strangers, and then head home. Here’s the resulting image . . . that new notebook…
When we read stories about mentoring, we usually visualize an older person meeting with younger one. But how much older? For years, we’ve been saying the best ‘spread’ between mentor and mentee is two seasons of life but we’ve never really explained it. Here’s a rough approximation . . . Two seasons of life ahead…
Since 2000, over 140 guys have been ‘radically mentored’ around my dining room table. Around the world, another 5,000 guys have had a similar experience. Some mentor poured his cup into their cup. And those guys made a covenant commitment to pour their cups into some younger guys’ cups . . . when God lets them…
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 Executive Director, 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.
