I Know a Guy Podcast

Most of us men don’t have a prayer life.  We have a crisis response system.

We call on God when things break, when pressure hits, when we need answers.

But what if prayer was never meant to be a 911 call?

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we’re talking about the kind of prayer most men have never experienced—where you’re not performing, fixing, or asking—but simply being with the Father as a belove...

What do you hold onto when life feels like it’s falling apart—and you can’t see a way out?

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we explore how remembering God’s past faithfulness can anchor your heart in present uncertainty. If you’re facing loss, loneliness, or a season that feels like it’s not changing, this conversation will remind you of a powerful truth—God has done it before, and He will ...

What happens when you trust God… and nothing changes?

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we step into one of the hardest places for any man—the space between trusting God and seeing no visible results. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, unanswered prayers, or the tension of waiting, this conversation will help you move from outcome-based faith to a deeper, steadier trust in the Father.

Many men know God loves them—but they don’t actually feel it. And in difficult seasons, that gap can grow even wider.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we explore why receiving God’s love can feel so difficult and how to begin experiencing it in a real, personal way—even when your heart feels distant or numb.

When life gets hard, most men default to pushing through—working harder, carrying more, and trying to fix what feels out of control. But what if the answer isn’t found in striving… but in surrender?

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we explore what it means to stop performing in difficult seasons and instead allow the Father to meet us right in the middle of them. If you’ve been carrying weight alone or tryi...

We men know how to work hard, push hard, achieve hard, and compete hard.

But for many of us the hardest thing we’ll ever do is believe we are loved apart from performance.

So we spend our lives trying to prove ourselves.

At work. In marriage. In leadership. Even spiritually.

In this powerful conclusion to the “Doing Hard Things” series, Steve talks about performance-driven living, father wounds, identity, and the ...

Most men want to be respected. But many of us were never taught how to repair relationships after we’ve caused pain.

So we defend ourselves.  Explain ourselves.  Withdraw and minimize.

Meanwhile the people we love most are often left carrying wounds we never intended to create.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, Steve talks about humility, apologies, rebuilding trust, and the courage it takes to own the impact of our ...

We men can become really good at doing spiritual things.

Reading Scripture. Praying. Leading Bible studies. Going to church. Serving faithfully.

Meanwhile internally, we can still feel distant from God, emotionally shut down, exhausted, ashamed, or disconnected.

Why?

Because many of us learned how to perform spiritually before we learned how to be honest spiritually.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, Steve talks about the difference...

Most men know how to be around people.

Fewer men know how to truly be known.

We can build careers, lead teams, sit in church every Sunday, and even have guys around us regularly… while quietly living isolated lives.

Many of us learned how to perform strength instead of pursue connection.

So we hide behind work, humor, independence, busyness, or emotional shutdown — and wonder why we feel disconnected from our wives, ki...

Men know how to push through pain, don't we?  We work harder. We stay busy.  We grind.  We compete, and we stay mentally tough.

But many of us have no idea what to do with sadness, fear, loneliness, rejection, or grief.

So we shut down.  Withdraw.  Get angry. Numb out, or quietly disappear emotionally from the people we love most.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we’re talking about emotional cou...

Question:  Why do so many of us men know how to work hard, compete hard, and endure hard things - but struggle to identify what we’re actually feeling?

On this episode of  “I Know A Guy” podcast, we’re talking about emotional courage as we start a new 6-part series on "Doing Hard Things."

Why do anger and withdrawal become our default responses?

And why does emotional shutdown quietly wound the peo...

And ask a deeper question:  What is God inviting you into right now?

Because healing doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens when we choose to lean in.
