I Know a Guy Podcast

I know a guy who used to measure his worth by how busy he was.
I know a guy who could quote Scripture but couldn’t tell you what he was feeling.
I know a guy who lost his temper, lost his marriage, and almost lost himself trying to hold it all together.

Yeah…that guy was me.

Do you know a guy like that? Or maybe…you are that guy.

This is I Know a Guy, a podcast for those guys who need a place to be honest, to laugh a little, maybe cry a little, and remember who you really are.

I’m Steve Cummings, and this podcast is an outgrowth of a ministry called Bringing Kingdom, where we walk with men one conversation, one connection, and one community at a time.

If you know a guy who needs this conversation - send him this episode.
And if that guy is you, I know a guy who’d love to talk with you.

That guy…is me.

Visit BringingKingdom.org/talk to start your own conversation, and remember - when men live loved, the Kingdom shows up.

Thanks for listening to I Know a Guy.

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.

Ever walked into a room and felt like you were on the outside looking in? That feeling isn’t random — it’s tied to a core desire God placed in you: the desire to be included.
Today on I Know a Guy, we explore why belonging matters so much and how the Gospel invites you into a family where you never stand alone.

“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.

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.
