Ep.125 - Why the Wide Path Feels So Normal

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.

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

Ep. 145 - Releasing Without Losing Them: The Father's Day That Changes Everything Series Part 6

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.
