I Know a Guy Podcast

Every man knows a guy. The one who looks fine on the outside but is falling apart inside. Angry. Numb. Distant. I know that guy too - because that guy was me. Every man needs a guy who gets it. You’re not the only one holding it together by a thread. I’m Steve Cummings, and this is I Know a Guy - conversations for men who are done pretending. It’s not content for content’s sake. It’s the entry point for men who would never fill out a form for mentoring or walk into a small group cold. It’s an open door to honesty - the voice before the visit.

  Ep. 188 - God Wants You to Slow Down?

  Aug 19, 202615 min

  Quick heads-up before you listen: Today’s episode runs longer than the usual 5–7 minutes—about 15 minutes. There’s a reason. This one needed a little more room, so stay with me. After a week of fever, exhaustion, coughing, and struggling just to walk across the house, I finally went to the doctor. Chest X-ray. Diagnosis: Pneumonia. And along with all the prayers and encouragement from friends came that familiar Christian phrase: “Maybe God wants you to slow down.” But does Scripture actually teach that God makes us sick because we're doing too much? In this episode of I Know a Guy, we're talking about Job, suffering, spiritual warfare, and why we need to be careful about explaining what God hasn't explained. And here's where I landed: Illness can attack your capacity. It cannot touch your identity. Even here . . . you are still a beloved son.

  Ep. 187 - You Don't Have to Impress Your Father

  Aug 18, 202611 min

  We just finished a seven-part series about status and the places men go looking for identity. But what comes next? Ecclesiastes chapter 5 confronts religious performance, restless striving, money, control, and the exhausting belief that everything depends on us. Maybe the promises you make to God are not always coming from faith. Maybe some of them are coming from shame. Maybe the success you are chasing can never tell you that you are enough. In this episode of I Know a Guy, Steve Cummings shares why a beloved son doesn't have to impress God, control tomorrow, or earn the right to enjoy his life. Listen to “You Don’t Have to Impress Your Father” and just . . . be.

  Ep. 186 - Free From the Need to Be Impressive (Status Series Part 7)

  Aug 17, 20269 min

  Today on the I Know a Guy Podcast, we finish our series Status: The Game Men Secretly Play by talking about freedom from the need to be impressive. Over this series, we have looked at perks, upgrades, cars, logos, sports, ministry status, and the ache beneath the chase. But the goal is not shame. The goal is freedom. In this episode, Steve invites men to stop asking status to tell them who they are and begin receiving what the Father has already spoken. Because status has to be maintained, but sonship only has to be received. I am Your Beloved" Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.

  Ep. 185 - Ministry Status is Still Status (Status Series Part 6)

  Aug 14, 202610 min

  Today on the I Know a Guy Podcast, we continue our series Status: The Game Men Secretly Play by talking about one of the hardest forms of status to admit: ministry status. Church size. Platform. Followers. Book sales. Podcast numbers. Speaking invitations. Endorsements. Who knows your name. None of those things are automatically wrong. But even Kingdom work can become identity work if we need the ministry to prove we matter. In this episode, Steve invites pastors, leaders, speakers, authors, and ministry-minded men to ask: Am I serving from sonship, or striving for status? Because ministry status is still status — and beloved sons are free to serve whether they are noticed or not.

  Ep. 184 - The Ache Beneath the Chase (Status Series Part 5)

  Aug 13, 20269 min

  What if the reason you chase success, recognition, promotions, nice cars, or the approval of other people has very little to do with those things? What if underneath all of it is a little boy who never quite felt seen by his father? Today on the I Know a Guy Podcast, we go beneath the surface of status to uncover the ache many men have carried for decades—the longing to be noticed, affirmed, and blessed. This may be the most personal episode of the series because status can distract the ache for a moment, but only the Father can truly heal it. And a quick heads-up — this series runs a little longer than our usual episodes. Instead of the normal 5–7 minutes, these conversations are closer to 10–12 minutes because we are going beneath the surface. I am Your Beloved" Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.
