What if the answer to America's growing addiction crisis isn't just found in treatment, but also in faith, community, and a renewed sense of PURPOSE? In this powerful episode of the Built Different Podcast, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton sit down with Dr. Monty Burks, a leader within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Great American Recovery Initiative, to discuss the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic and the urgent need to move America from a pill culture to a purpose culture. Drawing from his own remarkable journey through addiction, homelessness, and ultimately redemption, Dr. Burks shares how God used a compassionate faith community to transform his life and ignite a calling to help others find freedom. Together, they explore the critical role of the Church in addressing addiction, breaking cycles of shame and isolation, and creating communities where lasting recovery, healing, and hope are possible. Whether you're personally battling addiction, walking alongside someone who is struggling, or looking for ways to make a difference, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your past doesn't disqualify you from God's purpose, your brokenness doesn't have to define your future, and the very pain you've experienced may become someone else's greatest source of hope.   Links: Find Out More About Dr. Monty Burks: The Faith Center Staff The Great American Recovery Initiative: The Great American Recovery The Health & Human Services Center for Faith: Center for Faith (Faith Center) Looking for Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

What if meekness isn’t weakness, but strength fully surrendered to God? In this powerful conversation, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton, sit down with Christian influencer, filmmaker, evangelist, and author, Ryan Miller, to unpack the message behind his new book, Meek as a Mustang: Finding the Strength to Surrender Your Wild Heart to Jesus. Ryan shares why following Jesus calls us out of comfortable Christianity and into a costly faith: one marked by surrender, courage, intimacy, and radical obedience. From stories of the persecuted church to his own journey through failure, influence, and the wilderness, Ryan reminds us that the true measure of success in the Christian life isn’t followers, platforms, or recognition…it’s obedience. Ultimately, it all begins with receiving the love of the Father, because your life will change when you fully believe how much Jesus loves you.   Links: Pre-Order Meek as a Mustang: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GQP93D78?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback The Jesus People Movement: https://www.thejesuspeoplemovement.org/ Watch/Listen to The Jesus People Podcast: https://www.thejesuspeoplemovement.org/shows/jesus-people-podcast Follow Ryan on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/ryan_miller/ Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: Find a Christian Counselor, Coach, or Therapist | Christian Care Connect Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

What happens when the people who were supposed to point you toward Christ become the very people who wounded you along the way? In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Skillet frontman John Cooper opens up about one of the darkest seasons of his life which has included church hurt, betrayal, counseling, the pull of deconstruction, and learning to depend on God’s grace one hour at a time. John shares why suffering has given him greater compassion for those wounded by the Church while offering a powerful plea: don’t give up on Christ because people have failed you. Through it all, John says Jesus has become “sweeter” to him than ever before, reminding us that even when the storm shakes everything around us, Christ remains faithful. This conversation is for anyone learning to hold onto hope, rediscover the goodness of God, and trust that there is life After the Storm.   Links: Visit John’s Website: John Cooper – Cooper PreOrder Skillet’s New EP, After The Storm: https://preorder.skillet.com/ Visit Skillet’s Website & See Them on Tour: https://www.skillet.com/home Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: Find a Christian Counselor, Coach, or Therapist | Christian Care Connect Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

What happens when the person leading others in worship is quietly fighting to stay alive? In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with singer, songwriter, worship leader, and producer Baily Hager as she shares her journey through family brokenness, loss, suicidal thoughts, mental health treatment, and ultimately, healing. Baily opens up about the shame that once kept her suffering in silence, the courage it took to ask for help, and how God used faith, therapy, medication, community, and worship throughout her recovery. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always happen in a moment and Jesus isn’t simply waiting for us on the other side of our pain; He meets us in the middle of it and walks with us one day at a time.   Links: Baily’s Website: https://bailyhager.com/ Listen to Baily’s Music: https://slinky.to/BHGoodDays Book Baily for a Show/Night of Worship: https://bailyhager.com/booking Looking for Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: Christian Care Connect: Find a Christian Counselor, Coach, or Therapist Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In a world increasingly marked by division, distraction, and loneliness, what if one of the most powerful ways to reclaim meaningful connection is something as simple as pulling up a chair? In this episode, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton sit down with pastor and author Ian Simkins to unpack the heart behind his new book, Every Table an Altar, and rediscover the sacred power of presence, hospitality, and embodied friendship. Ian shares why being recognized is not the same as being truly known, how our constant distractions may be stealing the relationships right in front of us, and what the life of Jesus teaches us about making room for people who may not look, think, or believe exactly like we do. If God has graciously invited us to His table, perhaps one of the most important questions we can ask is: Who needs to be invited to ours?   Links: Find Out More About Ian: https://iansimkins.com/about Visit the Bridge Church’s Website: https://www.bridge.tv/ Pick Up a Copy of Ian’s New Book, Every Table An Altar: https://iansimkins.com/every-table-an-altar Feeling Lonely or Disconnected?

What if failure isn’t something to fear, but one of the greatest gifts you’ve ever been given? In this episode, Dr. Zach and Joshua Broome sit down with renowned quarterback coach and cohost of the Built 4 More Podcast, Denny Thompson, to unpack the privilege of failure, the danger of playing it safe, and why the biggest risk in life may be never taking one at all. Denny shares powerful lessons from coaching elite athletes, navigating unexpected adversity, walking alongside his wife through cancer, and learning to surrender the outcomes he simply couldn’t control. Together, they explore how failure can redirect us, discomfort can develop us, and faith gives us the courage to keep moving when life doesn’t go according to plan. Because if you’re lucky, life won’t work out exactly the way you thought it would—and that may be where God does some of His greatest work.   Links: Find Out More About CORTX - Denny’s cutting-edge sports science and performance training programs and facility: About us — Cortx Performance Check out the Built4More Podcast with Denny & Pastor Joby Martin: Built 4 More Podcast Follow Denny on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/dennythompsonjax/?hl=en Wrestling with the Fear of Failure?

In this powerful conversation, bestselling author and beloved speaker Sheila Walsh opens up about the hidden cost of pretending you’re okay. Sheila shares her deeply personal journey from appearing on The 700 Club to checking herself into a psychiatric hospital, revealing what happened when years of buried emotions, pain, and depression finally became impossible to ignore. She and Zach explore why what we refuse to feel can eventually overwhelm us, why vulnerability is not weakness, and how healing often begins when we finally tell the truth about what’s happening inside. Sheila also shares how faith, counseling, community, and learning to face rather than bury her emotions helped transform her darkest season. If you’ve ever felt pressure to hold it all together while quietly falling apart, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to pretend, and you don’t have to heal alone.Links:Sheila’s Website: https://sheilawalsh.com/ Buy Sheila’s Book, It’s Okay Not to Be Okay: https://sheilawalsh.com/okay-obs/ Book Sheila to Speak: https://sheilawalsh.com/speaking/ Watch Sheila on TBN Weekly: https://youtube.com/@sheilawalshontbn?si=MQEVfd1UFrIWkSMv Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

It’s game week for Liberty Football, but Mike Jarvis’ journey to this moment is a powerful reminder that some of the most important work happens long before the lights come on. In this conversation, Mike shares what feels different about this year’s team, why their word “STANDARD” has to become more than a slogan and instead shape the way you show up every single day, and what it means to write your own story rather than be defined by the past. We also go beyond football to talk about perseverance, identity, faith, vulnerability, and the setbacks and waiting seasons that shape us into who we’re meant to become. Mike challenges us to not waste the wait by recognizing that just because we can’t see the results yet doesn’t mean God isn’t doing something significant in us. From chasing a dream when the path doesn’t go according to plan to having the courage to ask for help when life gets heavy, this conversation is a reminder that dreams don’t quit, people do. So keep showing up, keep trusting, keep becoming, and make sure the standard you talk about becomes the standard you live.   Links: Find Out More about Mike Jarvis: https://libertyflames.com/sports/football/roster/mike-jarvis/16474 Pick Up a Mike Jarvis LU #97 Football Jersey Today: https://shorturl.at/WDzYb Liberty University’s Football Schedule: Liberty announces completed 2026 football schedule | Liberty News Pick Up Your Tickets for a Game Today: 2026 Football Schedule - Liberty University Needing a Perspective Shift in the Midst of Pain?

What does it really take to become stronger, not just physically, but mentally, relationally, and spiritually? In this episode, we sit down with Liberty University Director of Athletic Performance for Football, Coach Chad Scott, for a conversation that goes far beyond the weight room. Coach Scott shares what he’s seeing inside Liberty Football as a new season approaches, why their word “Standard” has to become more than a slogan, and what separates talented people from those who actually maximize their potential. We unpack the power of discipline, shared suffering, player-led leadership, and why mastering the fundamentals of sleep, nutrition, hydration, and breathing can matter more than chasing the latest performance hack. But the conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Chad opens up about walking alongside his wife, Beth, through her battle with cancer and what that journey has taught him about strength, surrender, faith, and trusting God when the circumstances you desperately want to change are completely outside of your control. Whether you’re an athlete, leader, spouse, parent, or simply trying to become the person God has called you to be, this conversation will challenge you to raise your standard while redefining what it truly means to be strong.   Links: Find Out More About Coach Chad Scott Here: Chad Scott - Director of Athletic Performance for Football - Football Support Staff - Liberty Univer… Liberty University’s Football Schedule: Liberty announces completed 2026 football schedule | Liberty News Pick Up Your Tickets for a Game Today: 2026 Football Schedule - Liberty University Needing a Perspective Shift in the Midst of Pain?

In this powerful conversation, singer and songwriter Rhett Walker shares the story of a defining season in his life when everything seemed to be falling apart and how an unexpected encounter with grace changed the trajectory of his future. We talk about the difference between religion and the gospel, judgment and mercy, and what can happen when people choose to step into someone’s mess rather than stand at a distance and condemn it. Rhett’s story is a reminder that grace isn’t reserved for people who have it all together…it meets us in the places we’d rather hide. From failure and shame to redemption and purpose, this conversation points us back to the heart of the gospel and the incredible hope we have because of the Man on the middle cross.   Links: Visit Rhett’s Website: https://rhettwalker.com/ Listen to Rhett’s Music: https://rhettwalker.com/#music Catch a Tour Stop: https://rhettwalker.com/#tour Become a RhettNeck: https://rhettwalker.com/#mail Struggling with Guilt or Shame?

Christine shares what her darkest seasons taught her about faith, asking for help, and finding hope when God feels distant. We also dive into her newest book, Healing in the Desert: Finding Your Voice on the Journey from Brokenness to Freedom, and the powerful reminder that our deserts don’t have to be the end of our story…they can become the places where God restores our voice, heals our wounds, and leads us toward freedom.   Links: Christine’s Website: Home - CHRISTINE D'CLARIO Visit Christine on Tour: Home - CHRISTINE D'CLARIO Pick Up a Copy of Christine’s Book: Healing in the Desert: https://shorturl.at/LlWPa Struggling with Depression, Suicidal Ideations, or Shame?

As America recently marked its 250th anniversary, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin, a 36-year Army veteran, original member of Delta Force, former commander of both Delta Force and Army Special Forces, and former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, for a conversation on what freedom truly costs and who's responsible to carry it forward. General Boykin reflects on his calling into military service, leadership lessons forged in some of the most high-stakes special operations in modern U.S. history, and the invisible wounds such PTSD, survivor's guilt, hopelessness, and moral injury that so many veterans carry home. The conversation turns candid as he shares what kept his faith anchored after witnessing real darkness, and what it means to be a warrior in God's Kingdom, not just on the battlefield. Now serving as Executive Vice President of the Family Research Council and continuing his ministry as an ordained pastor, Boykin speaks to a possible Great Awakening stirring across America and why he believes it will be sustained not by politics, but by strong marriages and Christ-centered homes. He closes with a direct charge to the next generation of fathers, mothers, pastors, and leaders on what to remember for such a time as this. It's a rare, unguarded look at where courage, conviction, and faith intersect from a man who has spent his life defending freedom on two fronts: physical and spiritual.   Links: Family Research Council: https://www.frc.org/#gsc.tab=0 Find Out More About General Boykin: https://www.frc.org/biography/william-boykin#gsc.tab=0 Pick Up a Copy of General Boykin’s Book, Never Surrender: Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom: Jerry Boykin, Lynn Vinc… Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: Find Trusted Therapists - Christian Care Connect Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In this episode of The Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton is joined by his father, Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, for a conversation with actor, author, and outspoken advocate for faith and family, Kirk Cameron. Together they unpack the cultural battle underway for the hearts and minds of the next generation, from the messaging embedded in children's entertainment and education, to Kirk's own national library book tour and the pushback he encountered along the way. Kirk shares why he decided the church can't just complain about culture but must create something better, discussing his new family-centered television show built to give parents trustworthy, biblically grounded content. The conversation turns practical as Kirk and Dr. Clinton talk through the shift from a play-based to a phone-based childhood, what it actually looks like to rescue kids from a corrupted culture inside the home, and the two or three things children need most from their parents to develop real character, faith, and resilience. It's a candid, hope-filled charge to parents, grandparents, and mentors that culture may be loud, but a parent who speaks truth and shows up with intentionality remains one of the most powerful forces shaping the next generation. Kirk closes with what gives him hope for the families choosing to lead with courage in this moment.   Links: Visit Kirk’s Website: Home | Kirk Cameron | USA Stream Iggy & Mr. Kirk on Brave+: https://bravebooks.us/pages/brave-plus Watch the Kirk Cameron Show: The Kirk Cameron Show Pick Up Your Copy of Born to Be Brave: https://shorturl.at/3ScrZ Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: Find Trusted Therapists - Christian Care Connect Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

The question isn't whether adversity will come. The question is: Who will you become when it does? In this week’s powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with retired Navy SEAL Lieutenant, Jason Redman, to explore what it truly means to overcome adversity. After surviving a devastating ambush in Iraq that left him shot eight times, Jason discovered that his greatest battle wasn't on the battlefield…it was the one that followed during recovery. Together, they discuss the "Overcome Mindset," resilience, leadership, discipline, marriage, faith, and why every person will eventually face a "life ambush." From the lessons of Navy SEAL training and combat to the famous handwritten sign on his hospital door that inspired millions, Jason shares practical wisdom on choosing courage over comfort, discipline over motivation, hope over despair, and faith over fear. Whether you're navigating grief, trauma, failure, anxiety, betrayal, or life's unexpected setbacks, this conversation is a powerful reminder that adversity doesn't have to define your story…but your response to it will.   Links: Visit Jason’s Webiste: https://jasonredman.com/ Pick Up a Copy of one of Jason’s Best-Selling Books: https://jasonredman.com/books/ Read More About the Sign on the Door: https://jasonredman.com/about/sign-on-the-door/ Asking for help is hard.
