How to Be Him Podcast

In this episode of How To Be Him, we sit down with Taylor Washington, and ex professional soccer player to talk about something every one of us will face: suffering Trials can leave us questioning God, searching for answers and wondering how we’re supposed to keep moving forward. Taylor shares what it looks like to suffer well - not by pretending everything is OK, but by turning to the Word of God, leaning on the Lord, trusting his character when life doesn’t make sense. If you’re walking through a difficult season, feeling discouraged, or struggling to understand what God is doing, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to suffer alone. God is still present, still faithful, and still worthy of your trust - even in the trouble.    

In this episode, we sit down with Danny Fernandez to talk about the importance of authenticity and what it really looks like to be yourself in a world constantly telling you who you should be. We unpack the importance of being genuine , the fear of what others think, and how embracing who God created you to be can lead to greater freedom, confidence, and purpose.

About 82% of men believe mentorship is important, yet only around 52% actually have a mentor. On this episode of How To Be Him, Garth and Za sit down with Grant Skeldon and Chichi Onyekanne to unpack why mentorship matters. From the challenges of finding someone to learn from to knowing when it's time to invest in someone else, this conversation offers practical wisdom for navigating mentorship in every season of life.

In this episode of How To Be Him, we're talking about one of the biggest reasons so many Christians struggle with fear, anxiety, shame, and performance: believing lies about who God actually is.  For years, we both had an incomplete picture of the Father's heart. It affected our relationships, our anxiety, and even the way we approached our faith. In this conversation, we unpack the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing His character.  If you've ever wondered:  "Does God actually love me?" "Why do I keep feeling anxious even though I trust Him?" "Is God disappointed in me?" "How do I love people the way Jesus did?" ...this episode is for you. We pray this conversation helps you see Jesus more clearly and reminds you just how deeply you're loved. 

Whether it's a girl, a business, or a dream — going after what you want takes courage. But how do you pursue boldly without crossing lines you'll regret? We’re joined by J.C. Shire and Sara Laine McNew to talk about what it looks like to take risks with integrity, how faith shapes the way you chase things, and why conviction and confidence aren't opposites.

Nobody's saying what they actually think — so we did. In this episode, Gabe Conte joins HTBH to talk about what Gen Z men are really looking for when it comes to relationships, sex, and commitment. Is marriage still the goal? Are hookups filling a void? And what does any of this have to do with faith? Unfiltered and real.

We pulled up, brought the snacks, and let the conversation breathe. This episode is less interview, more real life — a roundtable with guests you recognize, who are actually trying to live out Godly community. No perfect answers. Just honest conversation about what it looks like when faith gets lived out in a living room with people you trust.

Garth and Za get honest about the pressure to always hustle, always achieve, and always prove themselves. From chasing success to struggling with self-worth, the boys unpack the tension between working hard for what you want and not letting achievement define who you are. A real conversation about ambition, identity, and the pressure men face today.

Pride is subtle — and it’s powerful. Grant, Garth, and Za, break down the difference between natural and toxic pride, reflecting on past battles and current struggles with surrendering control and trusting God. This episode points back to what matters most: understanding the gospel and letting it reshape everything.

Garth and Za unpack the weight of shame and guilt, and how those struggles distort purpose when you’re searching for truth. There’s a difference between just carrying your past and actually living free with in who God says you are.
