The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton

In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton sit down with Bradley Geary - former Tactical Troop Commander for SEAL Team 6 and Commanding Officer of BUD/S - to unpack what it truly means to lead, endure, and find your identity beyond performance. Brad shares hard-earned lessons from the battlefield and the training ground, offering a rare look into the mindset required to operate at the highest level of discipline, resilience, and sacrifice. But more than that, this conversation goes beyond elite performance as it gets to the heart of who we are. They talk about the power of brotherhood and team, why isolation is one of the most dangerous places a person can live, and how true leadership is rooted in selflessness, not status. Bradley also opens up about the dark realities of combat, the emotional and spiritual weight it carries, and why those experiences, while costly, can also shape purpose and perspective. Perhaps most compelling is the growing movement of revival happening within the SEAL teams, and how many are beginning to wrestle with a deeper truth: your identity is not found in what you do, but in who God says you are. This episode is for leaders, competitors, and anyone striving for excellence, while trying to stay grounded in what matters most.   Links:Find Out More About Brad Geary: www.thekeynoteagency.comWatch Brad on The Shawn Ryan Show: youtube.com/watch?v=qm947uFzrJw Watch Brad on The Resilient Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79dPkX02Xow Follow Brad on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/bradleyandamy/ Paralyzed by Pressure?

In this special Easter episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Travis Johnson to discuss his powerful new book (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: Follow From a Distance and Lose Your Faith; Follow Closely and Change the World. Travis challenges the quiet tension many Christians feel today where we are close enough to say we believe in Jesus, yet distant enough to avoid the cultural backlash that can come with truly following Him. Through the powerful story of Peter’s journey from denial to bold proclamation, we explore how spiritual distance slowly erodes faith while nearness to Christ produces courage, conviction, and transformation. Travis shares why this message is so urgent for the Church today and how ordinary believers can move from comfortable cultural Christianity to courageous, world-changing faith. This conversation is a timely Easter reminder that the resurrection doesn’t just invite belief…it calls us to follow Jesus boldly and without embarrassment.   Link:Find Out More About Pastor Travis Johnson: https://www.pastortravisjohnson.com/ Find Out More About Pathway Church: https://pathwaychurch.us/ Purchase Your Copy of (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: https://www.amazon.com/Embarrassed-Jesus-Follow-Distance-Closely/dp/1636415121 Get Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel through the AACC: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Together, we explore the power of forgiveness, the importance of pursuing unity in the midst of division, and how spiritual transformation begins when God changes us from the inside out. Bishop Cobaris also shares his heart for the next generation and the kind of leaders our world desperately needs - leaders marked by humility, curiosity, courage, and compassion.

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this model emphasizes caring for the whole person to bring lasting help, hope, and healing to individuals, families, and communities. Together, we explore how improving brain health can transform our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Russell Johnson of Pursuit Church in the Pacific Northwest to talk about the courage required to lead with conviction in a culture that often pressures pastors to stay quiet. Russell shares the personal and pastoral cost of boldly standing for biblical truth…from facing threats and criticism to navigating the weight of public leadership…while remaining anchored in the calling God placed on his life. Together we explore what it means to offer costly praise, declaring that God is good even when life is difficult, and why clarity from God often matters more than certainty about the outcome. Russell also unpacks the heart behind three promises he has made to his church: that it will be a safe place, that it will remain safe, and that it will never back down from the truth. This episode is a candid and encouraging reminder that while salvation is free, following Jesus will cost us everything, and that courage in the Kingdom always comes with a price, but it’s a price worth paying.Links: Find Out More About Pursuit Church: https://www.thepursuitnw.com/about Listen to Some of Pastor Russell’s Recent Sermons: https://www.thepursuitnw.com/#recent-messages Follow Russell on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/russellbjohnson/ Get Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel through the AACC: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

On this episode of the Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with licensed therapist and educator Matthias Barker for a thoughtful and deeply practical conversation about estrangement, relational rupture, and the courage it takes to repair what’s broken. With more than four million followers across social platforms, Matthias has become a trusted voice in trauma-informed healing, helping people navigate romantic relationships, family disconnection, and the lingering impact of unresolved pain. Together, they unpack how ruptures happen in the first place, why distance often carries more complexity than blame, and how emotional maturity requires us to examine our own contribution to relational breakdown. This conversation doesn’t offer quick fixes or forced reconciliation. Instead, it explores how to find peace with what’s possible, whether that means rebuilding trust, setting healthier boundaries, or accepting that full restoration may not happen. Matthias shares insights from his work at Estrangement.com, offering practical tools for parents and adult children navigating long-term disconnection. If you’re carrying grief over a fractured relationship, longing for repair, or wrestling with guilt, anger, or confusion, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded path forward toward integrity and peace.Links:Find Out More About Matthias: https://matthiasjbarker.com/ Find Out More About Estrangement.com: https://www.estrangement.com/ Follow Matthias on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/matthiasjbarker/ Struggling with Estrangement?

What defines a life well lived? On this episode of the Built Different 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.Links: Find Out More About Tim: https://timtebow.com/ Find Out More About the Tim Tebow Foundation: https://timtebowfoundation.org/ Purchase Tim’s Newest Book, If the Tree Could Speak, Here: timtebow.com/tree Purchase Tim’s Book, Look Again, Here: https://shorturl.at/JFL2B Follow Tim on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/timtebow/ Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Counseling or Coaching Today: https://christiancareconnect.com/   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
