Guard your Gratitude! 1 Thessalonians 5:19 provides a staunch reminder that we are not to “quench the Spirit” in our lives. In other words, we have the potential to stunt or stoke or the move of God in our lives. However, Paul instructs us as men and women of faith to engage in three distinct and practices that can help create an atmosphere conducive to the Lord having HIs way in our lives: rejoicing always, praying continually, and giving thanks in ALL circumstances for this is God’s will for our lives through Christ Jesus (1 Thes. 5:16-18). There will be things that threaten to quench the Spirit of God in your life. There will be circumstances, experiences, interactions, seasons, and relationships that threaten to rob you of the joy that God has prepared for you, but today as we enter this Thanksgiving week we wanted to encourage your heart and remind you that we serve a Good, Faithful, Loving, and Consistent Father who is a God of Healing, Restoration, Redemption, and Provision. Therefore, joining us today on the podcast to share his testimony is a man who understands the power of praise, Micah Tyler. Micah is a renowned Christian singer, songwriter, and worship leader who has countless accolades, awards, and chart-topping songs, but what I love most about Micah is his unwavering devotion to the Lord, his wife Casey, and his 3 beautiful children. Our prayer is that through today’s conversation you would be encouraged to look for God, even in the most challenging times, knowing that you can and will find Him in whatever season of life you find yourself in. And remember this my friends, even if God does nothing else, He has already done enough! Be sure to give Him your thanks and your praise, because He is worthy of those things! Happy Thanksgiving!

Joining us today on the podcast is Lead Pastor of National Community Church located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., as well as New York Times bestselling author of 24 books, Mark Batterson. In today’s conversation we will unpack Mark’s newest book entitled, “A Million Little Miracles: Rediscover the God who is Bigger than Big, Closer than Close, and Gooder than Good” to help remind you of the millions of miracles God performs everyday and inspire you to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose. Mark puts it this way, “Think you’ve never experienced a miracle? With all due respect, you have never not. In fact, you are one!”There never has been—and there never will be—anyone else like you. That isn’t a testament to you. It’s a testament to the God who created you. Your fingerprint, eyeprint, and voiceprint are unlike anyone else’s. Simply put, you matter to God. However, most of us take everyday miracles for granted, including the one that stares back at us in the mirror. It’s time to take them for gratitude. Why is that so important? Because whatever you don’t turn into praise turns into pride. The miracle of life becomes mundane. We get so wrapped up in our own little world, we end up worshipping a god who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us. It’s no wonder we’ve lost our wonder. But there is a way to recapture holy curiosity! In today’s conversation as well as littered throughout the book, A Million Little Miracles, Mark reveals three miraculous truths that awaken us to carpe wonder for the Creator and His creation:
1. God Is Bigger Than We Think—we can rest in His wisdom and strength
2. God Is Closer Than We Realize—we never have to do life alone
3. God Is Better Than We Imagine—we can reclaim our childlike wonder
My friends, a million little miracles are waiting to be discovered, including the miracle called you.

Today’s guest has one of the most moving and impactful testimonies we’ve ever heard on the podcast. From the depths of despair, anguish, and suffering on the floor of a psychiatric hospital room, Sheila Walsh was approached by what she believes was an angel who reminded her that “The Shepherd knows where to find you.” From a painful past and broken spirit, Sheila has since experienced the overwhelming love of God like never before. Many of you may know Sheila as a best-selling author, Bible teacher, 2x Grammy-nominated recording artist, and television host, hosting numerous shows on TBN, including the flagship show, Praise, and the talk show, Better Together, but as Sheila mentions in today’s conversation, she’s really just like you and me - a Bummer Lamb who desperately seeks to know and pursue the voice of The Shepherd!

When living in a postmodernistic and relativistic culture and society where people are placing preferences over principles, often times we need to be reminded that Truth is nonnegotiable. There is only One absolute standard of Truth which is the Word of God, and in these days we need men and women of faith to be bold and courageous in stepping up, standing on, and speaking the Truth in love. For this reason, our guest today is the co-founder and lead vocalist and bassist for the 22x platinum band, Skillet, one of the best-selling Christian rock bands of the 21st century, John Cooper. You may know many of Skillet’s songs such as “Hero”, “Anchor”, “Stars,” “Victorious” or “Monster.” However, on November 1st, John and Skillet released their 12th album with the title ‘Revolution’ stating that the revolution they are referencing is not a political one or a militaristic one, but rather it is a revolution of loving your neighbor as yourself. Additionally, John is the author of Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World, which we are also going to be discussing today. If you’re ready to be encouraged and motivated for such a time as this, I would encourage you to tune in and be a part of this Revolution!

In the midst of the craziness, chaos, and division surrounding the upcoming Presidential election, many are seeking discernment as well as praying for and over the future of this country. However, there remains an overwhelming amount of fear, stress, frustration, and more running rampantly throughout our country! So, with all of those things on the forefront of our minds, we thought that there would be no greater guest to bring in than someone who has their finger on the pulse of what’s happening in culture as well as someone who has a heart for the intersection of topics such as politics and faith, Ryan Helfenbein.
Ryan serves as the Executive Director of the Standing for Freedom Center and the Vice President of Communications and Public Engagement at Liberty University. Ryan hosts “The Give Me Liberty” weekly podcast and is also a weekly contributor on “In Focus with Alison Steinberg” as well as a contributor on my dad, Dr. Tim Clinton’s weekly television show, “Sunday, the Road Forward” on Real America’s Voice News.
Remember, this upcoming election is not about personalities - It’s about policies - policies that impact our everyday lives - issues of concern to all Americans including the economy, our border situation and the real threat of terrorism both here and abroad, a strong national defense and of course issues important to people with sincerely held religious beliefs such as religious liberty, life, Israel, and more! We are in a significant moment in time and I believe God calls us to stand for biblical truth and to be salt and light to our generations!

There’s no question that this upcoming election has created a lot of fear, chaos, and division across the country. Therefore, in today’s episode we want to remind you that November 5th is not about personalities, but rather about policies that matter - policies that impact our everyday lives and issues of concern to all Americans including the economy, our border situation and the real threat of terrorism both here and abroad, a strong national defense, and of course issues important to people with sincerely held religious beliefs such as religious liberty, life, Israel, and more. We are in a significant moment in time and we believe God calls us to STAND for biblical truth and to be salt and light for today’s generations! That being said, today’s special guest is someone who has a word of hope and courage in the climate we find ourselves in. Joining us today is one of the great Christian leaders of our day and age, Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson served as the 17th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under former President, Donald J. Trump. He completed his B.A. in psychology from Yale University, an M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School, and his residency in neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Carson became the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1984 at the age of 33. He has written and published numerous best-selling books, 4 of which were co-authored with Candy, his wife of 46 years. Dr. Carson and his wife are co-founders of the Carson Scholars Fund, and together they have 3 sons and several rambunctious grandchildren. Today’s conversation is going to be centered around the pillars of American democracy and the importance of both the government and the American family by unpacking Dr. Carson’s newest book titled, The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family.

It’s easy to praise God on the mountain, but the real question is whether or not you’ll praise Him in the valley. Join us today as award winning singer, song writer, and worship leader Katy Nichole joins us to share her testimony of faith and resilience. Although Katy has received several awards such as the 2022 K-LOVE Worship Song of the Year, GMA Dove Award New Artist of the Year, as well as a Billboard #1 for her song ‘In Jesus Name (God of Possible)’, Katy gives all the honor, glory, and credit to the Lord who has carried her through some very dark and difficult seasons of life. Having been born with congenital scoliosis, Katy’s life has quite literally and figuratively been painful. Multiple surgeries and a near suicide attempt threatened to derail her, BUT GOD had a different plan in mind. In the moments right before Katy was contemplating ending it all, the Lord imprinted on her heart to trust Him because He wasn’t finished with her yet. Katy now openly shares her journey with mental health struggles and is an advocate for others who are facing physical and mental health challenges. Katy may get the opportunity of displaying her talent from the largest stages across America, but she wants to shed light on the reality that we all have struggles and no one is a stranger to pain and adversity in this life, but we serve a God who is a Healer, Way Maker, and Miracle Worker! Be sure to check out this powerful and encouraging conversation today!

Playing professional sports on the biggest stage is the ultimate goal for most athletes. But not for NFL player Dalton Risner. Listen as the Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman shares with us how a humble upbringing in a rural town, surrounded by loving parents and many siblings, drew him closer to Jesus. For Dalton, the real victory is the loving marriage he shares with his wife, Whitney, and the work he pours into the non-profit he created to help kids in need, RisnerUp. Risner established his foundation based on 1 Peter 4:10, which also is tattooed on his forearm: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." Words to live by, indeed! Our prayer is that today’s conversation would remind you that no matter where you are, what you do, or what season you find yourself in, God has a special plan and purpose for your life and He wants to use you right where He has you! Remember, God can do wonders with a willing and obedient heart!

On July 31, 2020, the Orlando Magic starting forward Jonathan Isaac was the lone NBA player not to kneel for the national anthem amid a league-wide demonstration in support of Black Lives Matter. Standing alone, knowing the scrutiny to come, Jonathan had a peace he at one time never could have imagined possible. In today’s conversation, Jonathan joins Zach and Joshua Broome to unpack his testimony and to share some of the valuable principles you can find in his book, WHY I STAND! It’s been said that Jonathan’s story is a real life discovery that no matter your level of confidence today, God’s strength will develop in your weakness, for courage is found in trusting that God is greater than your fears. Additionally, as God continues to use Jonathan on and off the court, Jonathan felt prompted in his spirit to create UNITUS, which is so much more than just a premium Christian apparel — as it’s recognized as a global movement for positive change. Like us here at Built Different, those at UNITUS believe that Jesus offers our world a better way, and they boldly stand for their faith in Him. Their mission is to inspire and empower people to live in greater unity, freedom, strength, and purpose. We pray that today’s conversation would encourage you in knowing and believing that in a world surrounded by fear, we can boldly and courageously choose to live a life of FAITH!

Habit Stacking: Developing the Discpline for Your Mind, Body, & Spirit with Personal Trainer & Ultra-Athlete, Bryan Pollard
Show Notes: The process of success is not hidden. It is on display for anyone to see. However, it is a daily grind that requires a great deal of work that is tedious and often uncomfortable. Successful people simply do the work. They embrace the grind and everything that comes with it. Ultimately, successful people understand this truth - Hope doesn’t produce change. Habits do! Everyone has the desire, but many lack the necessary discipline! That’s why today, we have a very special guest who understands the importance of discipline and habits at a very high level. Our guest today is Bryan Pollard! Bryan is not only a personal trainer and ultra-athlete, but he is also someone who is continuing to train for and complete a goal of running 12 marathons in 12 months. During today’s episode Bryan will motivate and encourage you to examine the difference between the life you want to live and the life you’re currently living, help you understand the importance of disciplining yourself in every facet of life, as well as assist you in unlocking your fullest potential through pushing yourself beyond your limits. This is a life-changing conversation that will ultimately remind you that real change is not merely behavior modification, but more importantly, it involves spiritual transformation. Don’t just focus on changing the thoughts in your head and the habits in your life, but also allow God to transform your heart from the inside-out.

It’s been said that burnout is not only a very real and present danger, but it has been estimated that over 60% of leaders will experience it. As the old saying goes, leadership can sometimes feel lonely. Prolonged seasons with heightened levels of stress, feeling unappreciated, and more can cause many leaders to grow tired, frustrated, and weary. However, I believe it’s in these moments that many simply need to be encouraged, motivated, and reminded of their purpose and calling in this life. Thankfully today, we have the perfect guest to uplift and inspire you with biblical truths and an incredible amount of godly wisdom, Pastor Preston Morrison. Preston is the Senior Pastor of Pillar Church in Arizona which has given him the opportunity to walk out the call of leadership the Lord has placed on his life, all while serving alongside a dynamic staff, building a community that feels like family, and loving the people in the Valley of the Sun. He is also a self-proclaimed romantic—whether he's studying a way to communicate God's truth, pursuing his beautiful wife Holly or their three kids, or finding ways to bless the people in his life—he does it with a passion and love that are truly contagious. And above all else, Preston has a feverish desire and obsession with being a friend of God. Our prayer is that this episode would help you re-frame your perspective, find hope in the midst of patience, lean into an enhanced level of perseverance, and remember the purpose/calling God has called you to! Weary traveler, carry on. It won’t be like this for long.

With the first weekend of the 2024 NFL season behind us, we wanted to bring on a familiar face that could give us not only an inspirational story and testimony of faith, but also someone who has their pulse on the sporting arena and its impact on everyday life. If you’re an NFL fan you’ll know our guest well. Joining us today is James Brown or as most would call him, JB. James Brown is the current host of “The NFL Today” on CBS and "Inside The NFL" on Showtime. A three-time Emmy Award-winning network broadcaster, Brown, who was elected into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame in August 2020, has hosted the Super Bowl a record setting ten times including Super Bowl 55 on CBS. In 2010, SI.com named Brown the Best Studio Host of the Decade. Brown is a Special Correspondent for CBS News and contributes to programs such as “60 Minutes”, “CBS This Morning”, “CBS Evening News” and “48 Hours”. He is also a founding partner of Major League Baseball’s 2019 World Series Champion Washington Nationals. Among numerous honors, Brown most recently received the 2016 Pete Rozelle Award by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which recognizes “longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football", and “The Uncommon Award” from Tony Dungy for his “uncommon leadership through character and faith.” Brown was a 2010 honoree as one of the “Faces of Black History” celebrating Black Media Legends who have impacted the Black community through their achievements and positive examples and was honored with the Greater Washington Urban League’s Sam Lacy Award in 2005. Brown was also the first recipient of the coveted Pat Summerall Award presented annually during Super Bowl weekend. The incredible thing about this interview is that many know and are familiar with the accolades and professional career of JB, but not many are familiar with his personal testimony and the strong and devout faith He has in Christ which rests as the foundation and bedrock of his life. We hope and pray this conversation around all things faith, football, and family would excite you for this upcoming NFL season but would more importantly encourage you for the days ahead.

There seems to be a hunger and thirst for truth and the good news of the gospel spreading rampantly throughout the nation, but especially on college campuses. Many have seen the UNITE US revival nights that have taken place across several SEC college campuses, but on Sunday, August 25th, there was another unique and powerful event as current and former Ohio State football players held a Fall Kickoff gathering at the campus’s courtyard in College Green Park. They described the event as “An Invitation to Jesus.” The event reportedly drew more than 2,000 students and people from the community and resulted in a time of worship, testimonies, salvations, and baptisms. To share of all that happened and how God’s presence fell all over this special occasion, former star running back at The Ohio State University and one of the leaders who heavily contributed to the inception of this event, Master Teague III joined us for a special conversation that you’re not going to want to miss! Master shares how God was in the details of this event, as well as all that happened at the Fall Kickoff gathering. Additionally, Master reflects back on some of his favorite life lessons, memories, and ways in which he learned to personalize his faith during his college days! It’s evident that God is not only doing something special on the campus and in the football locker-room at The Ohio State University, but God is also doing a Mighty Work in and through Master Teagues heart and life!

There’s no question that we live in unprecedented times. Everywhere one looks, they can easily find division and chaos. However, it was in similar circumstances years ago where a story arose of how one man who overcame the odds, sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey could bring unity and resilience throughout a nation. From 1981 through 1989, Ronald Reagan led a great American comeback. He not only achieved what his critics said would be impossible; he made it seem easy. His leadership transformed a sputtering U.S. economy into a rocket of growth that led to a generation of prosperity. Through it all, he revived America’s spirit, restored our hopes, and strengthened our faith. Thankfully, we get the opportunity of reliving this story of hope and redemption through the big screens as the new film, REAGAN, releases this Friday, August 30th nation wide. Joining us today to not only provide us with insight on this new film, but also give us a glimpse of his personal life and faith is one of the most resounding actors of our day and age, Dennis Quaid! Dennis is an Emmy and Golden Globe nominee best known for his roles in The Rookie, The Day After Tomorrow, The Parent Trap and many more. A household name, his work has spanned multiple generations of beloved films. In addition to acting, Dennis is also a musician, releasing multiple albums and is currently promoting a new Gospel album titled Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners. And today, we’re going to be discussing Dennis’s most recent endeavor - staring in the new Film, Reagan… Dennis said playing Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest honors of his life as he was inspired by the many parallels between each of their lives. I pray this conversation would encourage you as you hear a behind the scenes look into the professional and personal life of one of the world’s favorite actors.

There’s no question that resilience is rooted in relationship - with God and with others. Joining us today for an impactful discussion is someone who has experienced and endured a lot of pain, trauma, and suffering in life, yet by the grace of God has also experienced triumph, joy, and a testimony of resilience. Joining us today is Carrie Sheffield! Carrie is a columnist and broadcaster in Washington D.C. who earned a full-tuition Harvard scholarship, managed billions of dollars in risk at Wall Street firms, and competed in a Miss USA system beauty pageant. A journalist and former White House correspondent, she challenged the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and testified as an economic expert before the US Congress. Carrie achieved all this while overcoming a life of extreme poverty and psychological, spiritual, and sexual abuse. A recovered agnostic, Carrie eventually found peace and anchoring in Christianity, and today we’ll be unpacking her most recent book, Motorhome Prophecies as we discuss her journey toward healing, forgiveness, and freedom. We hope and pray that this conversation would remind you that God has hard-wired each and every one of us with the power to rise above and overcome!

There’s no question that we are in the midst of a mental health disaster in our country and world today. Statistics have revelaed that issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide have sored to levels that we have never seen before. Yet, sadly there continues to be a large gap between those needing help and those receiving help. One of the reasons as to why that gap exists continues to be the shame and stigma around mental health care. Many unfortunately, even within faith-based communities, continue to believe the lie that one’s brokenness is equivalent to embarrassment or humiliation. However, as today’s guest reminds us, psychology and theology should not be enemies but instead viewed as allies, because if we do not prioritize our mental health, we may very well be stunting our spiritual health throughout the process. Joining us today is Karl Benzio, MD, a Christian psychiatrist who is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Karl has held several health system clinical director and management positions to infuse his unique integration of spiritual faith with science to treat thousands. In addition, he writes, consults, and serves as a frequent media guest expert and conference speaker addressing the impact of a wide range of behavioral health issues and how to bring God’s healing to individuals, families, society, and social policy issues. Our prayer is that through today’s conversation you would realize that true change is not simply found in behavior modification but more importantly is found through spiritual transformation.

Recently, I was officiating a beautiful summer wedding when at the reception the Father of the Groom gave his toast to the couple and made a statement that stuck with me. He said, “Marriage won’t always be easy, but it’s also not that complicated. PURSUE each other every day and good things will happen.” As I sat and marinated on that statement, I began to recognize the truth in his words. When we stop pursuing and choosing one another, we allow footholds to take place in our lives and in our relationships. In other words when we begin prioritizing other things, getting distracted, or simply growing complacent - we create a recipe for losing at love. However, as my friend’s dad reminded us, although it may not always be easy, with God it is always possible! Joining us today to help your life, relationships, and marriage step into that possibility is a wonderful couple who love walking alongside of the broken hearted to help them live a life of abundance, Chuck & Ashley Elliott. Chuck and Ashley are authors, speakers and content creators who have partnered with YouVersion, RightNow Media, The American Association of Christian Counselors, and an array of other national organizations. They also serve as advisory board members for the AACC’s International Christian Coaching Association. Frequent speakers and popular workshop leaders, their numerous certifications in psychoeducational programs equip them to help others build relational success. My friends, no matter your relationship status, this is a conversation that will equip you to look, live, love, and lead more like Christ from the inside out!

Nikita Koloff, better known as the "Russian Nightmare," stormed the wrestling world as few others have in the history of the sport. Imposing, immovable, and unbeatable, Nikita left a trail of fallen opponents as he brought the Cold War that loomed over the globe into the ring. From a hard-scrabble beginning to rings around the world, Nikita Koloff filled arenas, thrilled fans, and captured five world titles in the process. And then, when he was at the top of his game, he walked away from the sport. Little did he know that 11 months later, on October 17, 1993, he would find himself at an altar surrendering his life to Jesus. This encounter changed everything, including, his heart, his attitude, his focus, his mindset, and his destiny. Fast forward all these years later, he has now preached in approximately 1200 churches, 28 different denominations, as well as traveled to all 50 states and 30 countries. Our prayer is that as you hear this inspiring testimony of how God performed "heart surgery" on Nikita, that you too would realize that Jesus is the only One who can truly satisfy your soul, and no matter how far gone you may feel, you’re never out of His reach.

We’ve all heard the words of James 1:2 which remind us to, “Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters when you face trials of many kinds.” But let’s be honest there are moments where life is just flat out painful, and as the infamous movie character, Rocky Balboa, once taught us, “life will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it.” There are moments where it seems like no one hits as hard as life does. But then Rocky’s words shift to encouraging us that, “it’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward… how much you can take and keep moving forward.” Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective to realize that we’re never out of the fight. You see happiness is external, but joy is internal. Joy is a fruit of the spirit, and as our guest today reminds us, although there are moments that may seem difficult and challenging, we get the opportunity to surrender our burdens to the Lord and give control over to the Holy Spirit allowing His joy to then invade and flow through us. Today’s guest is a man who, like all of us, is no stranger to challenge or adversity having endured plenty of painful and waiting seasons along his journey thus far. Our Built Different Guest today is the 3rd base coach for the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers as well as the 2024 American League All-Star Team, Coach Tony Beasley!! To know Coach Beasley is to love him. This man is an incredible leader and truly possesses an unwavering and contagious joy that is a direct reflection of the Lord dwelling within him. In and throughout this episode Coach Beasley discusses how we can TRAIN for our TRIALS, the importance of fixating on God’s promises rather than our problems, and some of the lessons he learned through some of the hardest seasons of his life. Trust us, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

Let’s be honest, there are several unique challenges singleness can bring in society and culture today. From the ‘hook-up’ culture we are seeing, to the trauma of attachment wounds, fear of commitment, loneliness, and more, singleness can at times be a very difficult season of life to navigate let alone appreciate. However, our guest today believes that singleness isn’t a curse to endure. Rather, it’s a gift to enjoy, even if at times it can be hard to see it that way. Our special guest who will be equipping and enlightening us today with several practical tools, conversation starters, and action steps to thrive and be content no matter our relationship status is Teaching Pastor of Red Rocks Austin and Best-Selling Author of the his newest book, Single Today, Ryan Wekenman. Ryan has been an unmarried pastor for over a decade. He’s heard all the usual questions: “Are you dating anyone? Any wedding plans in the future?” But he knows the real question they’re asking is, “Hey, do you think you’ll be single for the rest of your life?” Yet, even in the midst of all of the questions, our guest has discovered firsthand—and from hundreds of meetings with other single people—that we are often consumed by regrets or shame from the past, together with worry or fear of the future, making it feel impossible to find peace in the present. But the good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Our prayer is that today’s conversation would offer you a new perspective to begin seeing and living differently in the days ahead.
