Description

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 growing beneath the surface—and why it matters. My new book, "The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity—and How to See God Clearly Again," is available now on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Father-Eclipse-Earthly-Identity-Clearly/dp/B0H1FBN6Y7/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.R1Fn_Ep5EVLOdZuCq_4QN8LrxD5Y5XKSqT2HTov1Kqg.G86MEj89AvD-tPXLpPRJxT28baJ8AajDLjmoc3Wt-IQ&qid=1778671882&sr=1-1]—designed as a short, powerful read to help men move from hiding to living as a beloved son.   I am Your Beloved" [https://open.spotify.com/track/3wNS3dTyxxEQQdfDz3yFeK?si=29c40f7f60ad4b7c]  Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.  Performed by Jonathan and Melissa Helser.  ℗ & © 2022 Bethel Music.

Ep. 152 - The Legacy You're Building Right Now (It's Stops with Me Part 6)

What kind of legacy are you building right now?  Not someday—TODAY. In the final episode of our It Stops With Me series, we bring everything together and look at what your life is actually producing in the people around you. Because legacy isn’t about what you leave behind.  It’s about what you live out daily. This episode will challenge you to step into intentional leadership—so what gets passed down isn’t pain—but identity, truth, and life. What you’re stepping into right now—it’s not just about your life. It’s about your kids, your family and generations you may never even meet. I want to point you to something that can help you keep going. I wrote The Father Eclipse for this exact reason. To help men see clearly what’s been shaping them and step into the truth of who they are as beloved sons. It’s not a long book. It’s written like a one-on-one conversation—something you can read in one or two sittings. It’s available now on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Father-Eclipse-Earthly-Identity-Clearly/dp/B0H1FBN6Y7/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.R1Fn_Ep5EVLOdZuCq_4QN8LrxD5Y5XKSqT2HTov1Kqg.G86MEj89AvD-tPXLpPRJxT28baJ8AajDLjmoc3Wt-IQ&qid=1778671882&sr=1-1].  If you pick one up, thank you. And if you leave a review, that would mean more than you know.

Ep. 151 - Speaking Life Where Death Used to Live (It Stops with Me Part 5))

Your words are shaping more than you think. In Episode 5 of our current series on reversing generational curses, It Stops With Me, we dive into the power of your voice—and how what you say today becomes the internal voice your family carries tomorrow. Most men are repeating what was spoken over them without even realizing it. But you don’t have to. This episode is about breaking that cycle—and learning how to speak life, identity, and truth into the people around you. Because your words don’t just impact the moment… They shape legacy. If this topic of generational patterns and legacy hits home for you, I unpack this even more in my newly released book, The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity and How to See God Clearly Again Because what remains unhealed in one generation often gets repeated in the next.  It's now available on Amazon. [https://www.amazon.com/Father-Eclipse-Earthly-Identity-Clearly/dp/B0H1FBN6Y7/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.R1Fn_Ep5EVLOdZuCq_4QN8LrxD5Y5XKSqT2HTov1Kqg.G86MEj89AvD-tPXLpPRJxT28baJ8AajDLjmoc3Wt-IQ&qid=1778671882&sr=1-1]  Get a two copies and give one to another man who needs to hear this.   I am Your Beloved" [https://open.spotify.com/track/3wNS3dTyxxEQQdfDz3yFeK?si=29c40f7f60ad4b7c]  Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.  Performed by Jonathan and Melissa Helser.  ℗ & © 2022 Bethel Music.

Ep. 150 - Becoming the Man You Never Had (It Stops with Me Part 4)

What does it actually look like to become the man you never had? In Episode 4 of It Stops With Me, we move from breaking patterns… to building something new. Because it’s not enough to say, “I don’t want to repeat the past.” You have to decide who you’re becoming instead. Through real-life examples and powerful biblical models, this episode will challenge you to step into a new way of living—marked by presence, strength, and intentional love. This is where legacy starts to take shape. And if you want to go deeper into this journey, my new book, The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity and How to See God Clearly Again is available now on Amazon. [https://www.amazon.com/Father-Eclipse-Earthly-Identity-Clearly/dp/B0H1FBN6Y7/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.R1Fn_Ep5EVLOdZuCq_4QN8LrxD5Y5XKSqT2HTov1Kqg.G86MEj89AvD-tPXLpPRJxT28baJ8AajDLjmoc3Wt-IQ&qid=1778671882&sr=1-1] Grab a copy and get an extra one for another guy who needs to hear this.

Ep. 149 - Stop Blaming. Start Leading (It Stops with Me Part 3)

At some point, every man has to make a decision.  Will I keep blaming my past—or will I start leading my life? In Episode 3 of our current series on I Know a Guy, It Stops With Me, we make the turn from awareness to ownership. Because your story matters—but it doesn’t get to define you. Blame will keep you stuck. Ownership will set you free. This episode is about stepping out of victim thinking—and into the identity of a man who leads himself first. If this topic of generational patterns and legacy hits home for you, I unpack this even more in my newly released book, The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity and How to See God Clearly Again. Because what remains unhealed in one generation often gets repeated in the next.  It's now available on Amazon.

Ep. 148 - The Father Wound You Pretend Isn't There (It Stops with Me Part 2)

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 they can stop with you. You are not stuck. You are not doomed to repeat the past. This is where awareness begins—and where legacy starts to change. If today's episode resonates with you, my new book: The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity and How to See God Clearly Again" goes even deeper into how our earthly fathers shape the way we see ourselves… and God. It’s available now on Amazon.
