Ep. 132 - The Trap of Being the "Nice Guy"

from I Know a Guy Podcast · host Steve Cummings

Most men think being “nice” equals being loving.  But what if it’s actually fear—fear of conflict, fear of rejection, fear of not being liked? In this episode of I Know a Guy, we expose the hidden trap of people pleasing—and how trying to keep everyone happy is quietly costing you your identity, your peace, and your relationships. And we connect it to something bigger. 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 —and for the first 72 hours, June 1 through June 3, I’m donating all proceeds to Fathers in the Field, a national ministry mentoring boys without fathers to help them avoid their own father eclipse. So grab a copy for yourself—and maybe one for another man—and if it impacts you, leaving a quick review on Amazon would mean more than you know.  Be blessed.
