Jonathan is a husband and father, a ministry leader and former pro football player. Though reserved and low-key, Jonathan is also a natural storyteller and incredible motivator—qualities that equip him to lead his family as he leverages everyday events to point them to Jesus and the principles found in key Stories from the Storyteller. When it comes to parenting God’s way, Jonathan’s goal is to leave it all on the field!

Kanika is a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, physical therapist, and all-around fitness guru. Her quiet strength, confidence, and creativity help her to effectively juggle life in a busy homeschooling household with five children (Kelsey, Jonathan II, Kamden, Kelsey, and Jade) ranging from ages four to fourteen. Versatility and flexibility—both literally and figuratively—are key to navigate the adventures the family finds themselves in.

When creating Stories From the Storyteller, Jonathan and Kanika wanted to create a show that incorporated the entire family & showcased each member as authentic as possible. The Evans family truly wanted on-screen characters that all children could relate to! Every character embodies the real-live, from their voices, to their personalities and mannerisms. It was important to the Evan's family that parents had content that they can trust for their children of all ages that was not only engaging but also educational!
