John’s passion rests in helping others find the hope they feel has been lost and the freedom they never knew was possible.

Have you ever experienced something difficult and began questioning God? Maybe even doubting His goodness, grace, and faithfulness? Starting to ask Him the ‘Why’ questions, like “God, Why are you allowing this to happen to me?” Today’s Built Different Guest, Christian singer and songwriter, Danny Gokey, is no stranger to challenge and difficulty. After losing his late wife, Sophia Martinez, to complications during her third surgery to treat her congenital heart disease, Danny was left broken and uncertain of what was to come. Yet, in those moments God encouraged him to reframe his ‘Why’ questions into ‘What’ questions… Rather than “Why me?” he began asking “What can I learn in the midst of my pain?” or even “God, what is your will so that I may begin walking in it?” It’s amazing what God can turn our pain into. Just four short weeks after losing Sophia, Danny tried out for American Idol and placed in the top-3 sparking what we now see as one of the most decorated Christian music careers in history! He was also remarried to his current wife of over a decade, Leyicet, and together they have 4 beautiful children! Danny’s heart and music rests in reminding us that God is for you and not against you. He has a beautiful and perfect plan for your life. And He can turn your pain into your greatest purpose if you let Him. If you’re struggling to believe and see it with that perspective today, maybe you just haven’t seen it yet. Keep on believing!

Throughout this episode you will hear a common theme that Andy reminds us of which is the consistency of God. Even in the ups and downs throughout Andy’s baseball career, but more importantly his life, God has always remained the same.

Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” But let’s be honest with ourselves, it can be really hard to “have faith” during times of uncertainty, transition, and challenge. Yet during these difficult moments, we must remember that true and genuine faith in God can be forged in the valleys of our journey. God wants us to press into Him during these times more than ever! Hebrews 11:6 goes on to remind us that “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Today’s Built Different Guest, is no stranger to understanding what it means to step out in faith even in the midst of uncertainty. Today’s guest is world renowned Christian singer and songwriter, Micah Tyler. Micah knew he was called to ministry at a young age, but it wasn’t until his late 20’s that he felt the Lord calling him into music! After literally selling over half of what he and his wife owned at the time, they devoted their lives to following and trusting the Lord’s leading. Even in the midst of fear, difficulty, and sometimes frustration that they experienced, God continually showed up and provided like He always does! My friends, we can always have faith, because of the hope that Christ offers us. Hope is never lost, sometimes it just needs to be redirected. Why? Because Hope is a person. Micah believes that living out your faith will ultimately reflect what it means to be DIFFERENT in our world today.

Since the beginning of time, God’s Word tells us that we were created for one thing: a RELATIONSHIP with Him. Unfortunately, sin quickly entered this world which ruptured the relationship we were intended to have with God. But God, being so rich in love, grace, and mercy sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for our sins on the cross and to rise again 3 days later so that we may have the opportunity to restore our relationship with Him! All we simply have to do is say YES to Jesus through asking for the forgiveness of our sins and believing in Him. In this episode our Built Different guest, Pastor Clayton King joins us to share of the significance of the Easter Story. Pastor Clayton shares details and stories from Scripture that may easily get overlooked, yet proclaim of the goodness, faithfulness, and intentionality of God. Our prayer is that through this episode, you will be reminded of your worth and value in understanding that God specifically cares for you and He loves to redeem wounded lives!

Pain is inevitable. It’s a part of every single one of our journeys throughout life. John 16:33 reminds us, “That in this world you WILL have trouble…” so it’s not a matter of “if” but of “when” we experience challenge, difficult, and adversity in our lives. We can’t OUTRUN it, but we can choose to OUTLAST it! Our Built Different Guest today is one of if not the greatest motivational speaker of our day and age, Inky Johnson. Inky has one of the most inspiring testimonies you will ever hear as God has helped him turn what was his greatest PAIN into his greatest PURPOSE! He now shares his testimony to help people understand that even when his faith seemed as if it were on trial and he almost lost his hope and belief, God didn’t give up on him. Even when you feel down and discouraged, God is still walking with you and He hasn’t forgotten about you. He is still in your midst. It may be hard to get up right now, but continue to fight the good fight. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Paul Hiepler is a former basketball player from Abilene Christian University. Paul was a standout high school player who came to college with every dream and aspiration to be the leader of the ACU basketball team by putting up incredible stats and hitting big time game winning shots to send his team dancing in the March Madness tournament. Unfortunately, Paul never got the amount of playing time he probably would have liked or dreamt of during his collegiate basketball career. But instead of moping or wallowing in self-pity, Paul decided to keep working hard and become the BEST TEAMMATE possible! Little did Paul know, the Lord was intervening on his behalf and was working behind closed doors all along. As Abilene Christian University upset the University of Texas in the first round of this year’s March Madness Basketball Tournament, Paul Hiepler didn’t play a minute, but he was the most excited and energetic player on the court the entire night, even from the sidelines. You see, Paul is the type of person who didn’t let playing time define who he was. Paul completely found his identity in Christ which propelled him into the moment God was preparing him for. Noted by ESPN as being “The Player Every Team Needs,” Paul Hiepler became an overnight sensation. The picture of his “Horns Down” symbol instantly went viral and got his name all over social media. Immediately interviews on podcasts just like this came flooding in and Paul was able to spread the light and the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s amazing how when you make the choice to control the controllables and you choose to have an attitude of gratitude how far it can take you. Nancy Leigh Demoss says it like this, “In every situation that is thrown my way, I am given one of two options… I can either whine or I can worship. And it’s impossible to worship without giving thanks.” My prayer is that this episode challenges you to choose WORSHIP and JOY like Paul did in every and all circumstances that may come your way.
