I Know a Guy: On Substack

For men who are tired of pretending they’re fine.

Every week, I write the same way I talk on the podcast - honest, simple, and straight to the heart. No clichés. No churchy polish. Just real truth for real men trying to live loved instead of performing their way through life.

If you’ve ever felt angry, numb, stuck, or alone…you’re not the only one. This is where we name what’s real - and walk toward what’s true.

What You’ll Get

  • On identity, father wounds, shame, fear, and the quiet pressure most men carry.

  • Real moments from real guys. Not theory, lived experience.

  • A reminder of who you are as a beloved son of God.

  • Simple ways to stay grounded, connected, and spiritually fit.

A Note From Steve

“I write these weekly reflections because I’ve lived this journey myself. If something I’ve learned can help you feel less alone and more loved - then it’s worth showing up.”
