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.
