The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What do you do when your world falls apart… but life keeps moving forward anyway? In this deeply personal and hope-filled conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Grammy-nominated and Dove Award–winning artist Danny Gokey to talk about grief, resilience, faith, redemption, and the healing power of hope. From navigating the heartbreaking loss of his first wife just weeks before appearing on American Idol, to becoming one of Christian music’s most impactful voices, Danny shares how God met him in the middle of pain and slowly rebuilt his heart, purpose, and future. Together, they unpack what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t make sense, how suffering can deepen our faith instead of destroying it, the purpose behind songs like Tell Your Heart to Beat Again and Haven’t Seen It Yet , and the powerful moments Danny is witnessing on the Hope Nights Tour across America. They also dive into the important topic of scrupulosity, what can happen when OCD and faith collide, and how fear, shame, perfectionism, and religious anxiety can distort our understanding of God’s character, grace, and love. If you’ve ever wrestled with intrusive thoughts, condemnation, grief, disappointment, heartbreak, or uncertainty, this episode is a reminder that God is still writing your story, and sometimes the very thing that nearly broke you becomes the platform through which He brings hope, healing, freedom, and encouragement to others.

In this powerful Fourth of July special celebrating America's 250th anniversary, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with former Marine, Navy SEAL, and SEAL Team 6 Tier One Operator Eddie Penney for one of the most raw and unforgettable conversations ever featured on Built Different . After serving twenty years on the front lines of America's fight against terrorism, Eddie witnessed unimaginable evil, carried the weight of life-and-death decisions, lost brothers in combat, and returned home searching for peace in all the wrong places. Together, Zach and Eddie explore the psychology of combat, moral injury, PTSD, identity beyond performance, biblical masculinity, spiritual warfare, and the difficult road of reintegration. Eddie candidly shares how alcohol, pornography, pills, and achievement could never satisfy the deepest longings of his soul until one simple question: "What do you want?", began a journey that ultimately led him to surrender everything to Christ. Whether you're a veteran, first responder, husband, father, or simply someone wrestling with your own battles, this conversation is a compelling reminder that you're never too far gone, freedom always comes at a cost, and the greatest battle you'll ever fight may not be on a battlefield but within your own heart.

In one of the most honest and heartfelt conversations yet on the Built Different podcast, Hall of Fame wide receiver and three-time Super Bowl champion Michael Irvin opens up about the highs of fame, the lows of addiction and brokenness, and the grace of God that changed everything. Behind the spotlight and success was a man wrestling with identity, poor decisions, emptiness, and pain, but in 2001, Michael surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and began a journey of true transformation. In this episode, Michael shares powerful lessons on redemption, responsibility, purpose, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who point you back to God. From his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes to the hard truth that “God didn’t save you for you,” this conversation is a reminder that your past does not disqualify you from being used by God. If you’ve ever felt too broken, too ashamed, or too far gone, Michael’s story will encourage you to come home, embrace grace, and believe that God can still use your life for something greater.

What happens when you achieve everything the world says should satisfy you… and you still feel empty inside? In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, former NFL punter, Super Bowl champion, and 2x NFL’s ‘Fittest Man’, Steve Weatherford joins Dr. Zach Clinton to unpack the hidden emptiness behind fame, performance, achievement, and external success while revealing how true fulfillment can only be found in Christ. Together, they discuss identity, purpose, biblical masculinity, personal responsibility, breaking generational cycles, high performance, leadership in the home, and what it means to steward your mind, body, and spirit God’s way. Steve vulnerably shares how his identity shifted from performance to purpose, why success can never fill the God-shaped void within us, and how God can redeem anyone willing to surrender their life fully to Him. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who God is calling you to become, this conversation will challenge you to stop living for applause and start living on mission.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with renowned neurosurgeon, Iraq War veteran, and bestselling author Dr. Lee Warren to explore the life-changing connection between our thoughts, our brain, and our spiritual health. After enduring PTSD, personal trauma, and the unimaginable loss of his son, Dr. Warren discovered that healing doesn’t begin by changing your circumstances…it begins by changing the way you think. Blending cutting-edge neuroscience with timeless biblical truth, this conversation unpacks how neuroplasticity, gratitude, suffering, resilience, and the renewing of the mind all work together to shape our lives. From Romans 5 to Philippians 4, Dr. Warren reveals how Scripture has been affirming modern brain science all along. If you’ve ever felt stuck in anxiety, grief, trauma, or hopelessness, this episode will remind you that you are not powerless and that God designed your brain with the ability to heal, grow, and develop hope even in the middle of suffering.

What do you do when the pain gets heavy, your mind gets loud, and quitting feels easier than continuing forward? In this deeply honest and inspiring conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with endurance runner and mental health advocate Edwin Martin to talk about resilience, suicide awareness, faith, mental toughness, and the hope that can still be found in the middle of suffering. From running 24 straight hours in honor of the 70 suicides in Charleston County last year to completing a 194-mile run across the state of South Carolina to support mental health initiatives, Edwin shares how choosing hard things transformed not only his body, but his mind, identity, and relationship with God. Together, they unpack Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, the silent struggles many men carry, the power of brotherhood and community, overcoming limiting beliefs, and why “chosen suffering” can prepare us for life’s hardest moments. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that no matter how far behind you feel, how broken your past may seem, or how exhausted you are in the present moment, you are loved, your story matters, and with Jesus, there is always hope on the other side of the pain.

What does it look like to follow God… when everything in your life is falling apart? In this powerful Memorial Day episode and tribute, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down backstage at the most recent Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend with Green Beret veteran, Purple Heart recipient, Silver & Bronze Star Medalist, and warrior, John Wayne Walding, a man whose life is a living testimony of faith, courage, and resilience under fire. John Wayne served 12 years in the U.S. Army, including 7 years in the elite 3rd Special Forces Group. During the Battle of Shok Valley on April 6, 2008, he was struck by sniper fire that nearly severed his leg. In a moment that defines both grit and resolve, he applied a tourniquet and kept fighting alongside his team for hours. But this story isn’t just about what happened on the battlefield. It’s about what happened after. John Wayne opens up about the long road of recovery, becoming a below-the-knee amputee, and the internal battles many don’t see: mental health struggles, challenges in marriage, and the quiet weight that so many men carry but rarely talk about. Throughout it all, one truth stands out: faith is not tested in comfort; it’s revealed in the fire. We talk about what it means to trust God in suffering, to ask for strength instead of an easier life, and how pain, when surrendered, can become a tool for growth rather than an excuse for passivity. This conversation is also a direct challenge to men: to reject passivity, to embrace responsibility, to live with courage, humility, and intentionality, and to understand that real strength includes the willingness to be vulnerable and ask for help. John Wayne’s life reminds us that being a godly man isn’t about perfection…it’s about perseverance, surrender, and service.

Join us today for a special holiday weekend edition of “Built Different”! What defines a life well lived? On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton welcomes Tim Tebow for a powerful conversation on identity, intimacy with Christ, and living a life marked by lasting impact. Known to many first for his achievements on the field: Heisman Trophy winner, national champion, NFL quarterback…Tim’s deeper impact has always extended far beyond football. From serving the “Most Vulnerable People” through the Tim Tebow Foundation to stepping into fatherhood with his wife Demi-Leigh and their daughter Daphne, Tim shares how identity, royalty, and calling have taken on even greater meaning in this season of life. At the center of this conversation is Tim’s new book, If The Tree Could Speak, a creative retelling of the crucifixion inspired by Luke 19:40. Through the perspective of the cross itself, Tim invites us to slow down and truly see the love displayed there, not as distant history, but as a present and personal rescue mission. Together, we explore what it means to live with urgency without anxiety, to lead with conviction anchored in love, and to “look again” at the people the world often overlooks. If you’ve ever felt unseen, dismissed, or forgotten, this episode is a reminder that the loudest declaration of love in history was completed for you.

What if the very battles you’re trying to avoid the most… are the ones God wants to use to build you the most? In this powerful backstage conversation from the Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with former Force Recon Marine, best-selling author, MMA champion, and renowned leader, Chad Robichaux, to talk about resilience, courage, and the kind of strength that is forged through adversity. Chad’s story is marked by intense trials, hard seasons, and moments that could have broken him, but instead became the foundation for purpose. Together, we unpack what it means to stop running from adversity and start partnering with it: to see hardship not as something working against you, but something shaping you into the man you’re called to become. We also address one of the greatest threats facing men today: passivity. Chad shares why drifting, disengagement, and avoidance quietly destroy purpose, and how choosing courage, responsibility, and community can radically change the trajectory of your life. This conversation is a call to step up, to lean into discomfort, to embrace the process, to reject passivity, and to become the kind of man who is built through the fire, not in spite of it, but because of it. If you’ve been walking through a hard season, feeling stuck, or tempted to check out, this episode will challenge you to re-engage, reframe your adversity, and rediscover your purpose.

What if the confidence you’ve been chasing… actually starts with one simple truth? God chose you. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Charles Metcalf of Transformation Church to unpack the message behind his most recent book, God Chose Me: Untouchable Confidence for the Unstoppable Christian. In a world filled with fear, comparison, and constant pressure to measure up, many people are quietly battling thoughts of “I’m not enough, I’m behind, or what if I’m found out?” But Charles challenges that narrative at its core, reminding us that true confidence isn’t built on performance or approval, but on identity. Together, Zach & Charles explore how fear is shaping our culture in subtle but powerful ways, from procrastination and perfectionism to people-pleasing and playing small, and how many believers are unknowingly living from insecurity masked as humility. Charles breaks down what it really means to say, “God chose me,” and how that truth has the power to dismantle rejection, silence self-doubt, and anchor you in something unshakable. They also dive into the practical side of confidence and how it’s not something you wait to feel, but something you build through action, obedience, and renewed thinking. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, insecurity, or the fear of not measuring up, this episode will help you reset your identity and step into a more grounded, bold, and resilient faith.

What does it take to become an uncommon man? In this powerful live conversation from the Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend, Dr. Zach Clinton and Tanner Morgan sit down with Super Bowl-winning and Hall of Fame NFL Football Coach, Tony Dungy, to talk about leadership, faith, adversity, and the kind of character that is forged through life’s hardest moments. Coach Dungy’s story is one of discipline, humility, and perseverance. Raised in a home grounded in faith, education, and integrity, his journey took him from playing quarterback at the University of Minnesota to navigating position changes in the NFL, and eventually stepping into a calling as a coach and leader of men. But this conversation goes far beyond football. Coach Dungy opens up about the realities of rejection…being told he would never become a head coach…and how what looked like setbacks were actually shaping his identity and strengthening his resolve. He shares why getting fired impacted him more than winning the Super Bowl, and how those moments became defining catalysts in his life. We also step into deeply personal territory as Coach reflects on the heartbreaking loss of his son, and how that season of suffering deepened his faith and dependence on God. Throughout this conversation, one theme rises above the rest: true leadership is forged in the fire. Coach Dungy challenges men to pursue something greater than success: to live lives marked by integrity, intentionality, faith, and uncommon influence. He shares what it means to lead well in your home, your workplace, and your community, and why your greatest platform is not your position, but your character. This is more than a conversation about leadership. It’s a call to become the kind of man who stands firm in adversity, leads with humility, and lives for something that lasts.

God likes to call us out of our comfort zone, but often we hesitate out of fear—we like the comfort and safety of the life we have known. But stepping out in faith is where true growth happens. Edward Graham, Chief Operating Officer at Samaritan’s Purse, shares what God has taught him in leadership, both in the military but also in ministry. Hear how you, too, can step out in faith and obedience to the Lord, in whatever He has for you. Resources: • Learn more about how you can get involved with Samaritan’s Purse domestically and internationally. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/nam/#volunteer-now https://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/dart/ • Listen to “Suffering for Christ’s Sake” to hear stories of pastors who experienced intense persecution and how their faith sustained them. https://ontheground.samaritanspurse.org/podcast/suffering-for-christs-sake Highlights: Edward shares stories from his time in the military, where he chose to trust the Lord and seek Him for wisdom. He reads a passage from James that he continually goes to when he needs to turn away from doubt and towards belief. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” – James 1:5-8, ESV Now more than ever, Samaritan’s Purse has an opportunity to love our neighbors that are hurting in the Middle East. Our staff stand ready, training and preparing so when famine comes or disaster hits and everyone else is running away, we can respond in Jesus’ Name. “God expects us—when He entrusts us with His widow’s mite or with His people—to take prudent risk, to go out and multiply in the Gospel.” – Edward Graham Edward talks about trials he has faced in his own life and how they shaped him and encouraged his walk with the Lord. The story in the Bible where Peter walks on water shows Edward that sometimes in life God is calling us to get out of the boat. Often in our Western culture, we strive for comfort and ease. But that is not what the life of a Christian looks like. “Let's get out of the boat. Let's be part of miracles. You’ve got to challenge yourself. You’ve got to put yourself out there sometimes, and maybe it's your church, maybe it's your family, maybe it's your job and career. Somewhere you're safe in the boat. What do you do to take that step and go walk on water and go be part of a miracle?” – Edward Graham None of what is going on in our world surprises God. Kristy and Edward remind listeners that in this world we will have trouble, but we can take heart because Jesus has overcome the world. Edward asks for prayer for our staff and volunteers serving amid disasters and conflicts across the globe and for new endeavors that the ministry is embarking on within its aviation and U.S. rebuild programs.
