What if the voice you call “God” is actually your shame talking—and grace has been whispering under the noise the whole time? That question powers a raw, practical conversation with Dr. Kelly Flanagan, licensed clinical psychologist and author of Lovable, as we explore how men can trade ego armor for quiet strength and move from performance to presence.

Ever think, “I’m just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You’re not alone. But God isn’t looking for perfect men — just obedient ones. Our I’m Just a Guy Bible study on YouVersion has helped 20,000+ men see how God uses ordinary guys to do extraordinary things.
