I Know a Guy Podcast

This week on I Know a Guy from Bringing Kingdom, we’re diving into the spiritual layers inside Bill Murray’s "Groundhog Day."
Day 1 tackles a big one: Why do we keep repeating the same patterns? The same frustrations? The same emotional loops?
In the movie, Phil isn’t stuck because of the day—he’s stuck because of his identity. And that’s the same place where many of us get trapped.
If you feel like your life keeps circling back to the same battles, today’s episode is going to open your eyes.

“Every man knows the sting of not being chosen — by a dad, a team, a woman, or a friend group. And that wound follows you into adulthood more than you think.
Today on I Know a Guy, we’re talking about the deep God-given desire to be chosen… and how Christ heals the pain of rejection. This episode hits home for all of us.”

We close our 5-day series with a truth every man needs: Walking by sight and walking by faith are not the same life.
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we talk about the courage it takes to trust God when the path ahead doesn’t make sense — and how faith opens doors sight could never find.  If you need encouragement to move forward with God, this final episode is for you.

Today on I Know a Guy, we explore the line between human confidence and Holy Spirit conviction.
Confidence is something we hype up. Conviction is something God builds in us.Join us as we talk about how biblical conviction anchors a man, strengthens his integrity, and keeps him steady when life shakes everything else.

Day 3 of our series asks a crucial question: How do you tell the difference between your own inner voice and the voice of the Holy Spirit?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we break down the characteristics of self-talk—and how radically different Spirit-led assurance feels. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this God or just me?” this is the conversation you’ll want to hear.

On today’s episode of I Know a Guy, we dig into the gap between information about God and transformation by God.
Men don’t need more facts—we need formation. We need truth that changes how we lead, love, respond, and show up in the world.
Tune in as we talk about how the Holy Spirit turns what we learn into who we become.
