I Know a Guy Podcast

What if the struggles you’re facing right now didn’t actually start with you?

What if the anger… the distance… the pressure… the way you react under stress—was shaped long before you even realized it?

In Episode 1 of this new series on I Know a Guy, "It Stops With Me," we’re uncovering how generational patterns are formed—and how they get passed down.

But more importantly—how...

Father’s Day is over — but what if the real impact of it is just beginning?

In this special episode of I Know a Guy, we slow down and reflect on what surfaced this weekend— the gratitude, the tension, the silence.

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.

What does it look like to be a father—when your kids are grown?

When they’re making their own decisions—and you don’t always agree?

In this episode of I Know a Guy we conclude our Father's Day series as we talk about the shift from raising your kids—to releasing them.

And why holding on too tightly can actually create more distance. Because great fathers don’t control their adult childr...

The teenage years change everything.  What used to work—doesn’t anymore.

And many dads respond by tightening control—which only creates more distance.

All this week we've been focusing on Father's Day coming up on Sunday and in today's episode of I Know a Guy we talk about what’s really happening when your teenager pulls away—and how to shift from control to connection.

Because your influence as a...

What if the biggest mistake fathers make—isn’t what they do—but what they miss?

In the early years of childhood—your presence shapes your child’s identity more than anything else.  Not your provision. Not your success.

Your presence.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we talk about what it means to avoid becoming a “Father Eclipse”— a dad who’s physically there, but emotional...

Not every man grew up with a broken relationship with his father.

Some had a great dad.

Present. Engaged. Consistent.

And that’s a gift.

But here’s the question:

Are you intentionally building on that legacy—or just assuming it will carry itself forward?

As we continue with Part 3 of our Father's Day series, today on I Know a Guy, we talk about what it means to steward what you were given— and why even a gre...

Some men didn’t just grow up without a father.  They grew up being wounded by one.

All this week on I Know a Guy we are preparing our hearts for Father's Day on Sunday.  Today we’re talking about the impact of abusive, controlling, or absent fathers—and how those wounds follow us into adulthood.

Into our relationships. Into our identity. Into how we show up as men.

But also this:

What does it a...

What if the story you’ve believed about your father has shaped more of your life than you realize?

Today on I Know a Guy we’re talking to the man who grew up without a father.

The absence. The questions. The drive to prove… or the temptation to quit.

But also this:

What if you were never actually fatherless?

What if God has been stepping into that space all along?

This Father’s Day series might change the w...

In today’s episode of I Know a Guy, we look at the parable of the soils from Gospel of Matthew 13—and ask an honest question:

What’s really going on in your heart right now?

Because these aren’t just four types of people… they’re four conditions of the heart—and we drift between them more than we think.

As we prepare to step into Fatherhood, this episode will help you examine what’s ...

In today’s episode of I Know a Guy, we bring everything together—from emotional courage to healing—and ask the question:

What are you going to do with it?

Because awareness without action doesn’t change anything.

And the step you take right now won’t just affect you—it will shape your relationships, your future, and your legacy.

This is a moment to stop circling the same patterns and take one rea...

In today’s episode of I Know a Guy, we move beyond awareness and ask a harder question:

How bad do you actually want healing?

Because wanting it… and pursuing it… are not the same thing.

We’ll look at how Jesus invited people into healing—not passively, but through movement, courage, and action—and what that means for you right now.

If you’ve been stuck in the same patterns and wondering ...

In today’s episode of I Know a Guy, we step into a powerful moment from Gospel of John 5—where Jesus asks a man who’s been stuck for 38 years a question that feels almost unnecessary:

“Do you want to get well?”

But instead of saying yes… the man gives reasons, excuses, and comparisons.

And if we’re honest… we do the same.

This episode is an invitation to look beneath the surface and...

What if the reason you keep going back to the same struggle isn’t a lack of discipline—but a lack of emotional courage?

You can’t heal what you won’t face.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we talk about what emotional courage actually looks like for a man—how it begins with honesty, moves into the light, and leads toward real healing. If you’ve been stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break, ...

Most men don’t struggle with courage—they struggle with emotional courage.

We’ll face pressure, responsibility, and external challenges without hesitation. But when it comes to what’s happening inside—pain, shame, and unresolved wounds—we tend to avoid it, bury it, or numb it.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we explore why even the strongest men struggle to face their inner world, and the hidden...

What if the most loving thing you could do… is say no?

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we break down how to love with clarity, boundaries, and identity—without losing yourself in the process or feeling like you’re being unkind.

Because real love isn’t about managing people’s emotions—it’s about being grounded enough to tell the truth and stay present.

And this message ties directly into m...

Most men think being “nice” equals being loving.  But what if it’s actually fear—fear of conflict, fear of rejection, fear of not being liked?

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we expose the hidden trap of people pleasing—and how trying to keep everyone happy is quietly costing you your identity, your peace, and your relationships.

And we connect it to something bigger.

My new book, "The Father Ecl...

You weren’t born disconnected.

You learned it.

And what started as protection… became your way of life.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we unpack why men shut down emotionally…how it impacts every relationship in your life… and how to begin reconnecting to the part of you that’s been buried for years.

Plus—my new book "The Father Eclipse" is now available on Amazon. And for the next 72 hours,...

There’s a Greek word used to describe Jesus when He sees people—and it doesn’t mean what you think it means.

σπλαγχνίζομαι. (splagchnizomai)

It means He felt compassion in His gut.

Deep. visceral. unavoidable.

And here’s the problem—

Most men have spent their entire lives avoiding that exact place.

In this episode of I Know a Guy, we unpack what this word really means… how Jesus actually ex...

Fear is not your identity.

But if you don’t understand it… it will quietly shape your entire life.

This episode of I Know a Guy will help you discern the difference between healthy fear and destructive fear—and how to stop letting it control you.

Because you weren’t created to live guarded, reactive, and small.

You were created to live free.

Fear didn’t just show up in your life—it was formed.

I...
