Ep. 131 - Why Men Shut It Down: The Cost of Living Disconnected

Ep. 138 - This is Your Moment!

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 real step forward.

Ep. 137 - How Bad Do You Want It?

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 why nothing’s changing… this episode will challenge you to take your next step.

Ep. 136 - Do You Want to Be Healed?

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 ask a deeper question: Do you actually want healing—or have you learned to live without it?

Ep. 135 - Emotional Courage – The Way Through

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, this conversation will challenge you to take one simple, but powerful step toward freedom.

Ep. 134 - The Battle We Avoid

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 cost of continuing to avoid it. You’ll hear a powerful story from rehab that reframes what true courage really looks like—and why ignoring what’s beneath the surface will eventually impact every area of your life.
