I Know a Guy Podcast

Why do so many men get excited about change...only to find themselves stuck again a few months later?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, Steve explores "The One-and-Done Trap"—the belief that one book, one podcast, one prayer, or one breakthrough moment will magically transform our lives.
Using the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5, Steve reveals why real healing is usually found in the process, not the shortcut.
If you've ever felt frustrated by your lack of progress, this episode may help you see your journey in a completely new way.
Be sure to check out 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.
This may be the one-step forward you need to take.

Most men think their biggest problem is anger, lust, passivity, fear, or failure.
What if those are only symptoms?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, Steve tackles the real enemy hiding underneath so many struggles: shame.
Shame doesn't tell you that you made a mistake. Shame tells you that you ARE a mistake.
It keeps men isolated, emotionally shut down, and convinced that trying harder is the answer. But what if freedom begins when we stop hiding and start telling the truth?
Join Steve as he explores how shame entered the story in the Garden of Eden—and how Jesus came to lead us out of hiding and into freedom.

Do you find yourself praying the same thing over and over again?
Asking God… again and again… hoping this time He’ll respond?
Jesus actually warns about this—and what He says might surprise you.
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we talk about the difference between persistence and repetition, and how beloved sons don’t try to convince God—they trust Him.
This could completely free your prayer life.

What if you’ve been praying from the wrong position?
Most of us approach God asking, hoping, and waiting… but Jesus said, “I have given you authority.”
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we talk about what it means to pray from your position in Christ—not from anxiety, but from identity as a beloved son.
If you’ve ever felt like your prayers were weak or ineffective… this one might completely change that.

What happens when you pray and God is silent?
No answers. No clarity. No breakthrough.
Most men assume they’re doing something wrong—but what if this is actually where real prayer begins?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we talk about trusting God in the dark, surrendering control, and discovering what it means to live as a beloved son—even when nothing seems to change.
This one will meet you right where you are.

Why do we suddenly sound more spiritual when we pray out loud?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we expose something most men don’t even realize they’re doing—performing in prayer.
Whether it’s around your family, your friends, or even in church—we often trade authenticity for image.
But the Father isn’t impressed with your words—He wants your heart.
This one will challenge the way you pray in public—and maybe set you free from it.

Most of us men don’t have a prayer life.  We have a crisis response system.
We call on God when things break, when pressure hits, when we need answers.
But what if prayer was never meant to be a 911 call?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we’re talking about the kind of prayer most men have never experienced—where you’re not performing, fixing, or asking—but simply being with the Father as a beloved son.
This one just might change the way you pray forever.

What do you hold onto when life feels like it’s falling apart—and you can’t see a way out?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we explore how remembering God’s past faithfulness can anchor your heart in present uncertainty. If you’re facing loss, loneliness, or a season that feels like it’s not changing, this conversation will remind you of a powerful truth—God has done it before, and He will do it again.

What happens when you trust God… and nothing changes?
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we step into one of the hardest places for any man—the space between trusting God and seeing no visible results. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, unanswered prayers, or the tension of waiting, this conversation will help you move from outcome-based faith to a deeper, steadier trust in the Father.
Steve’s new book, The Father Eclipse, is now available on Amazon. 

Many men know God loves them—but they don’t actually feel it. And in difficult seasons, that gap can grow even wider.
In this episode of I Know a Guy, we explore why receiving God’s love can feel so difficult and how to begin experiencing it in a real, personal way—even when your heart feels distant or numb.
