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.

    Ep. 125 Why the Wide Path Feels So Normal

    If the wide path leads to destruction, why does it feel so normal? Why do so many men live stressed, disconnected, and exhausted—and think that’s just life? What if the issue isn’t your schedule, but your identity?  And what if the patterns you’ve been living out for decades were never actually leading you where you think? This episode of I Know a Guy exposes why the wide path feels right— And why that should concern you. I wrote The Father Eclipse for this exact reason. To help men see clearly what’s been shaping them and step into the truth of who they are as beloved sons. It’s not a long book. It’s written like a one-on-one conversation—something you can read in one or two sittings. It’s available now on Amazon.  If you pick one up, thank you. And if you leave a review, that would mean more than you know.   "I Am Your Beloved"  Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.  Performed by Jonathan and Melissa Helser.  ℗ & © 2022 Bethel Music.

    Ep.124 - Two Gates - One Decision You Keep Making

    Most men believe they’re following Jesus because they go to church. But what if Jesus never said that was the standard? What if the real question isn’t what you believe—but the path you’re actually walking? There are two roads. One is easy, comfortable, and crowded. The other is narrow, intentional, and requires everything. And here’s the tension— You don’t choose it once. You choose it every day. This episode of I Know a Guy will challenge the way you think about faith, identity, and what it actually means to follow Jesus. Do me a favor?  Would you follow, rate, comment and share this podcast with another guy as the Spirit leads?  Let's help more men live from their true identity - together!

    Ep. 123 - Slow Down or Break Down

    At some point, every man hits a wall.  A blow-up. A shutdown. A disconnect. Or just the realization—something’s off. That’s not random. That’s what happens when you ignore the why beneath your what. You can only outrun it for so long. Eventually… it catches up. This episode of I Know a Guy will show you how to slow down, get honest, and start uncovering what’s really driving your life—so you don’t have to learn the hard way. And if this topic resonates with you, my brand-new book, The Father Eclipse is now available on Amazon. It’s all about how our earthly fathers shaped our identity—and how to see God clearly again.

    Ep. 122 - This Made Sense ...Then

    You didn’t randomly become the man you are. Your reactions, your habits, your patterns. They were learned. Formed in your family. Shaped between ages 0–12. And here’s the hard truth: What helped you survive then - might be hurting you now. Performance. Withdrawal. Control. Avoidance. It all made sense. But is it still serving you? This episode of I Know a Guy will help you connect your past to your present—so you can finally understand the why beneath your what. 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 in both paperback and Kindle formats.  If you have another guy who needs this message, grab a second copy and help scatter more seed.  ALL proceeds from this book launch through June 3rd go to Fathers in the Field - a national ministry to rekindle and establish the spirit of boys who have been abandoned by their fathers; mentoring them one-on-one in life skills through outdoor activities, and by sharing a Christian understanding of our Heavenly Father’s love and sacrifice for His children.

    Ep. 121 - You’re Not Fine—You’re Avoiding

    You’re not fine.  You’re just moving too fast to deal with what’s really going on inside of you. Every reaction… every frustration… every shutdown… There’s a why beneath it. But when you ignore it… it doesn’t go away.  It leaks. Into your marriage. Your parenting. Your friendships. Your work. And if you keep ignoring the signals… The engine will blow. This episode of I Know a Guy will wake you up to what you’ve been avoiding—and why it matters more than you think. I want to point you to something that can help you keep going. I wrote The Father Eclipse for this exact reason. To help men see clearly what’s been shaping them and step into the truth of who they are as beloved sons. It’s not a long book. It’s written like a one-on-one conversation—something you can read in one or two sittings. It’s available now on Amazon.  If you pick one up, thank you.

    Ep. 120 - 40 Years of Waiting!

    Joshua and Caleb believed the promise.  But belief didn’t fast-forward the timeline. Forty years!  Forty years of waiting while others wandered in fear. Today's episode of I Know a Guy concludes our 2-part series on Joshua and Caleb and explores how identity sustains a man through delay — and why sonship is the only thing strong enough to carry you through long seasons of formation. 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 in both paperback and Kindle formats.  If you have another guy who needs this message, grab a second copy and help scatter more seed.  ALL proceeds from this book launch through June 3rd go to Fathers in the Field - a national ministry to rekindle and establish the spirit of boys who have been abandoned by their fathers; mentoring them one-on-one in life skills through outdoor activities, and by sharing a Christian understanding of our Heavenly Father’s love and sacrifice for His children.    "I Am Your Beloved"  Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.  Performed by Jonathan and Melissa Helser.  ℗ & © 2022 Bethel Music.

    Ep. 119 - The Report You Believe

    Twelve men walked into the same promise. Ten saw giants and shrank. Two saw giants and stood tall. What was the difference? Identity. Today and tomorrow on I Know a Guy, we’re diving into the story of Joshua and Caleb — and why your view of yourself determines whether you step into promise or wander in fear. If you’ve been standing on the edge of something — unsure, hesitant, second-guessing — this episode is for you. Also - after months of writing, praying, wrestling, and honestly processing my own story, my new book The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity—and How to See God Clearly Again is now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.  "I Am Your Beloved"  Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.  Performed by Jonathan and Melissa Helser.  ℗ & © 2022 Bethel Music.

    Ep. 118 - Freedom From the Need to Be Recognized

    Today on I Know a Guy, we’re talking about something most men quietly struggle with. The addiction to be affirmed, or recognized. The need to be noticed, validated and  affirmed. But there is freedom from that cycle. When a man understands his identity as a beloved son, he stops living for applause and begins living from something much deeper. If you’ve ever felt invisible - or if your sense of worth rises and falls with what people think about you - this episode will speak directly to your heart. After months of writing, praying, wrestling, and honestly processing my own story, my new book The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity—and How to See God Clearly Again is now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.  "I Am Your Beloved"  Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.  Performed by Jonathan and Melissa Helser.  ℗ & © 2022 Bethel Music.
