Descripción

You didn’t randomly become the man you are. Your reactions, your habits, your patterns. They were learned. Formed in your family. Shaped between ages 0–12. And here’s the hard truth: What helped you survive then - might be hurting you now. Performance. Withdrawal. Control. Avoidance. It all made sense. But is it still serving you? This episode of I Know a Guy will help you connect your past to your present—so you can finally understand the why beneath your what. Steve's new book The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity—and How to See God Clearly Again is 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.OygZHtnUZVGWwC2y78iI4A.nM4A7lqzalp47ZjfPeX-sh0H-wkqnlQes_BR7QfhdFU&qid=1778629554&sr=8-1] in both paperback and Kindle formats.  If you have another guy who needs this message, grab a second copy and help scatter more seed.  ALL proceeds from this book launch through June 3rd go to Fathers in the Field [https://www.fathersinthefield.com/about-us/fathers-in-the-field-mission/]- a national ministry to rekindle and establish the spirit of boys who have been abandoned by their fathers; mentoring them one-on-one in life skills through outdoor activities, and by sharing a Christian understanding of our Heavenly Father’s love and sacrifice for His children.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
