The Built Different Podcast with Zach Clinton

Life’s too short to just go through the motions. You know it, deep down – you’re not made for the ordinary. Your life is meant to be an adventure, fueled by grace and inspired by big dreams to make the world a better place. But, stuff gets in the way. Whether it's people who tell you to be practical, a version of a faith that keeps you small, or a few bruises that take you out along the way – we all have a longing to break out of the status quo and get after the life we're meant to live. For this reason, Dr. Zach and his dad, Dr. Tim, sit down with best-selling author, renowned speaker, coach, and dreamer, Bob Goff, who will be unpacking his newest book Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility.This conversation will help you leave behind endless cycles of planning and floundering, and instead wake up to the curiosity, delight, and possibility waiting for you every day. You don’t have to stay stuck in ambivalence and paralysis, unsure of the right next step. Instead, let us seek to get settled in God’s love for you and start journeying, wide-eyed and expectant, into a more meaningful life, a more engaged faith, and a more intentional future.

Many think of Easter as the day with eggs, bunnies, and chocolate candies, but in reality this day commemorates a day that changed everything! For this is a day where the tomb was found empty that now over 2 billion people around the world come together to reflect on, remember, and celebrate a Risen Savior, the Risen Christ! 1 Peter 1:3 says, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." You see, the resurrection is the pillar and the foundation of our faith!! A day that reminds us, not only did Christ defeat sin by paying the ultimate sacrifice for our sins through a substitutionary death on the cross, but then by rising again 3 days later He defeated death, providing each and every one of us the opportunity to spend eternal life with HIM. By rising from the dead, Jesus Christ demonstrated that He had cleansed the guilt of our past and is able to help and walk alongside of us in our present. His resurrection provides us with an ever-present HOPE assuring us that our future is safe and secure. You see, the empty tomb is proof of Christ's deity, and it guarantees the future resurrection of His believers, those who have been saved. Romans 10:9 says, that “If you declare with your mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved! However, many remain puzzled and confused asking questions such as, “Why did Jesus have to die?” or “Why did He have to die in that way?” or even “How do we know that the tomb was empty?” or lastly “If the tomb really was empty, how then should we live our lives?” Thankfully today we have Senior Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church and Chancellor of Liberty University, Jonathan Falwell here to unpack all of these questions as he so elequently simplifies the good news of the gospel for us all to understand! Remember, Easter is not simply a moment or a part of history – Easter is the meaning and the point of history…  Easter isn’t just about one day – the message of Easter is a lifestyle that we can live with every moment of every day! Happy Easter!

Do you long for more in your marriage? You feel lonely even though you’re not lone. You’re caught in the same fight, over and over. The passion and connection you once had seems to be fading? If one of these situations depicts what you’re feeling in your marriage, today’s guest, Gabe Lyons, wants to begin by reminding you that the enemy is not your spouse. Lyons who is a best-selling author, speaker, and the founder of THINQ Media poses an interesting question asking, “What if your biggest conflict isn't with each other, but with the forces trying to divide you?” Further, today’s conversation, as well as in he and his wife, Rebekah’s, newest book titled The Fight for Us offers a revolutionary approach to marriage—turning against what divides you so you can fight for your relationship together. Through story, psychology and biblical teaching, Gabe joins Dr. Zach and his dad, Dr. Tim Clinton, to better understand why you fight, how you fight, and how to overcome toxic patterns; relinquish coping mechanisms or addictions that have come between you; renew your commitment to recover intimacy and connection with your spouse; and establish goals and rhythms that deepen your friendship and unity as a couple. It’s time to discover the turning point that can transform your marriage from isolation to unity!

If there is one word that sums up Kirk Cousins, it’s CONSISTENCY. On the field, Kirk is one of the most efficient passers in NFL history, tallying 42,979 passing yards and 288 touchdowns leaving him 6th all-time in completion % for QBs with at least 1,500 pass attempts and 11th in the NFL’s all-time regular-season career passer rating. However, the most impressive thing in our eyes is that no matter what result Kirk experiences on the field, he consistently displays his devotion to both his faith and his family. Yes, he’s an NFL veteran QB, but more importantly he’s a man on a mission to share the good news of the gospel and to be a beacon of hope, light, and love to a dark and hurting world. Tune in to today’s conversation as Zach and Kirk unpack the last several years of Kirk’s journey, specifically this last year and what it’s like to once again be faced with the challenge of the unknown. As Kirk mentions, “I may not know what the future holds, but I do know WHO holds my future.” Be inspired today to hear how sometimes looking back can be the best way to move forward as it’s the practice of remembrance that often fuels our level of confidence and resilience for the road ahead!

Music has taken Ben Fuller’s life and made it into something he never would have dreamed. Growing up in Southern Vermont on his family dairy farm, he learned about hard work and a passion he saw first-hand from his father. He started singing at a young age to pass the time in the fields and on the farm. The singing never stopped and somewhere between the farm and college, he picked up a guitar and played all those country covers he learned as a boy. Realizing, he had a voice, his friends urged him to move to Nashville to pursue a career in country music. For over a year, he had friends and family pushing him to pack up his things and go. What no one knew is that Ben had a secret addiction to drugs and alcohol and had been abusing for over 12 years. In 2015, Ben was involved in a drug-fueled relationship which led him to understand better, the other side of the disease. In addition, in 2017, he abruptly lost his best friend to a drug overdose and his entire outlook on life shifted. Motivated to change, in 2018 he finally moved to Nashville still having country music in his head with the notion he just had to “make it” in country music. Little did he know his music would change drastically after a family invited him to church for the first time. Falling face first into God, he began writing new music noticing his lyrics started taking on new meaning. His new-found relationship with Jesus led him to begin writing with a burning desire to share the love of God and tell the world his redemption story. Now completely sober, he longs to help individuals who struggle with addiction and are looking for something more in which to fill their empty souls. Today, his heart continues to fill with stories of loss, hope and love as he travels across our country to sing his story as well as the stories of those who can no longer.

Joining us today on the podcast from a conversation Zach was able to have with our guest at the most recent Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend is Former Duke and Notre Dame star Quarterback, Riley Leonard. In and throughout this conversation, Riley shares authentically about his upbringing, collegiate career, and journey of faith. Yes, he’s accumulated countless accolades throughout his career, but what Riley appreciates and values more than anything else are the opportunities the Lord has blessed him with to express his faith, particularly during interviews and after games, thanking the Lord win, lose, or draw and always deflecting the honor, glory, and praise to the Only One worthy of those things. This is a clarion call and challenge to each and every one of us to continually grow in our humility as we seek to serve those around us no matter the vocation we have been called to. Our hope and prayer is that you would join us in praying for Riley and all that God will continue to do in and through his life and leadership.    Riley’s Website: https://officialrileyleonard.com/posts/riley-leonard-my-story/  Follow Riley on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/riley.jleonard/  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Today’s guest, Kirk Cameron, isn't trying to win a cultural war with loud slogans or viral outrage. Instead, the renowned actor, evangelist, author, and outspoken Christian is offering something quieter, but arguably more radical in today’s climate: a children’s television show filled with puppets, songs, and Bible-based lessons on identity, forgiveness, and courage. In today’s episode, Kirk will be diving into the heart and mission behind his newly released, “Iggy and Mr. Kirk”  children’s television show, a live-action series featuring a cast of whimsical characters and stories aimed squarely at families hungry for “safe, meaningful screen time.” The inspiration for this show really came from the cry of parents wanting something that they can put their kids down in front of for 10 minutes or 20 minutes that’s not going to assault them, or even worse, pollute their minds with wrong ideas about God, their gender, or sexuality. Instead, this counter-cultural show is geared toward actually entertaining kids and igniting their imagination while building their character and encouraging family relationships. Trust us, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

Are you ready to live with intention and adjust your mindset to be fully equipped to handle anything life throws at you? The reality is that you were made for this exact moment in human history. Things may look gloomy, and you may feel discouraged, but because of the promise and hope found in Scripture, you can be brave, confident, and victorious today! Joining us today on the podcast to remind us of the overcoming power, love, and grace that we get the opportunity of clinging to and finding victory in is renowned pastor, elder, and author, Matt Chandler! Matt has served over 20 years as the Lead Pastor at The Village Church in Flower Mound, TX which recently transitioned its 5 campuses into their own autonomous churches. He is also the Executive Chairman of the Acts 29 Network, a large church planting community that trains and equips church planters across the globe. In today’s conversation, Matt joins Zach & Josh to unpack his most recent book, The Overcomers which takes a chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation rather than a line-by-line deep dive, helping readers practically understand what God wants to say to us today through this extraordinary book written thousands of years ago. He also talks about how we should view current events, knowing that the writers of the New Testament understood themselves to be living in the “end times” or “last days.” Believers will be reminded that they are uniquely wired and uniquely placed in this moment in history as part of God’s big plan to push back darkness and to establish light. Christ has overcome, and in Him we, too, are the overcomers!

Who is the most complicated person you work with? You probably don’t have to think very hard to answer that question. You already know their name, their job title, their quirks, and their flaws. You have firsthand experience with the mental and emotional fallout they leave in their wake. You’ve seen the problems their complexity creates for everyone on their team. You wish you could fix them, solve them, ignore them, or teleport them to a parallel dimension. But you can’t. You have to work with them. (You could quit, but your next job will have a complicated person waiting for you there too.) That means you need effective strategies to collaborate with (nearly) anyone. Especially the picky, prickly, problematic ones. Drawing from his global consulting experience with teams and leaders from the glitz of sports and entertainment, to the number-crunching world of finance, to the meticulous realms of insurance, pharma, and manufacturing, today’s guest - a dynamic speaker and bestselling author, Ryan Leak, will provide you with proven strategies for seeing challenging individuals as human beings to understand rather than problems to solve, detoxing unrealistic expectations and getting comfortable with complicated, learning to communicate effectively in complex environments, embracing healthy disagreement as a tool to discover better solutions, and setting boundaries that let people into your world without letting them run your world. In the episode Ryan shares, “The process of learning to collaborate with difficult individuals is transformative—it’s a gateway to greater creativity, stronger teams, and increased productivity, because on the other side of complicated is the wonderful, wide-open world of effective collaboration and a workplace you love.”  Ryan’s Website: https://www.ryanleak.com/  Pre-Order Ryan’s Book How to Work with Complicated People: https://www.amazon.com/How-Work-Complicated-People-Collaboration-ebook/dp/B0D7J86R16  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
