What do you boast about?

Most men would never say it out loud — but we all live from something that tells us who we are.

Wisdom.

Strength.

Success.

Being needed.

Being respected.

In Jeremiah 9, God confronts the false places we build identity and offers a better one:

Knowing Him.

Today on I Know a Guy, Steve Cummings challenges men where you’ve been boasting — and invites you back to the freedom of living as a beloved son, not a performer.

If your identity feels fragile, this conversation might change everything.

What does a present-day Pharisee look like—and how do we avoid becoming one?

In this episode of I Know a Guy, host Steve Cummings explores how faith quietly shifts from relationship to performance, how identity gets built on rule-keeping instead of sonship, and why Jesus reserved His strongest words for religious people who refused inner transformation.

This isn’t about lowering biblical standards—it’s about trading religious striving for true freedom. If you’ve ever felt exhausted trying to “get it right,” this conversation might be exactly what you need.

Many men don’t need more information—they need identity clarity.

If today’s episode resonated, it may be because your faith has quietly shifted into performance mode. Identity coaching with Steve Cummings helps men move from striving to sonship—so obedience flows from love, not fear.
