Impacting Culture: The New Release of Reagan & a Look Behind the Scenes at Dennis Quaid’s Personal Faith & Everyday Life, Ep. 18827 Aug 202400:27:35

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.

The Power of Resilience: Embracing Forgiveness on Your Healing Journey with Renowned Columnist & Broadcaster, Carrie Sheffield, Ep. 18720 Aug 202400:49:11

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!

You’re Never Out of the Fight: Up Close & Personal with Texas Rangers Manager, Coach Tony Beasley, Ep. 08827 Sep 202200:32:31

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 Manager of the Texas Rangers, 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 prioritizing rest and solitude with the Lord in the midst of the fast paced culture and society we find ourselves in, sport psychology nuggets to help you separate yourself from the rest of the pack, and how we can find confidence in knowing that our worth, value, and identity are not attached to our performance. Trust us, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

Skip 1 to Bless 1: The Gift of Giving with World Renowned Authors, Speakers, and Splash Podcast hosts, Shlene Bryan & Barbara Cameron, Ep. 08720 Sep 202200:45:09

Have you ever taken a second to realize how much we have here in the U.S.? We are so blessed and fortunate to have so much. However, several sources have revealed heartbreaking statistics stating that nearly 10% of the world population lives in extreme poverty, meaning they live on less than $2 a day. Thankfully, our guests today on the Built Different Podcast have incredible hearts to extend the love of Christ through the gift of giving and helping those in need! Our Built Different Guests today will include world renowned authors, speakers, and Splash Podcast hosts, Shelene Bryan and Barbara Cameron!! This powerful conversation will be a reairing from their Splash Podcast talking all about an incredible cause and mission we all can give to in order to HELP and SUPPORT those in need. After seeing some of the statistics already mentioned, Shelene Bryan realized that the truth is, we’d all be okay if we skipped one or two or 500 things a year. Just think about how much money we spend on THINGS. On stuff we'll never use, or use once and give away, or never use again. This isn't an attempt to make you feel guilty, it's to get you to think about one or two things in your life that you could skip. Therefore, Shelene and her husband Brian decided to begin a nonprofit organization titled, Skip1.org,  with the idea that whether it's skipping $4 at a fast food restaurant or $50,000 on that new car, by skipping the extra unneeded THING, we have the opportunity of helping someone else in need. You'll never miss the thing you skipped, but a child could live because of it. Skip1.org exists to help solve world hunger, one Skip at a time, by building and renovating kitchens within orphanages and schools in impoverished areas. They also support food distribution and feeding programs in places where kitchens can't be built, and help with clean water and sustainable agricultural initiatives. It’s amazing what can happen when people Skip. Will you join us?

Have you ever just felt dissatisfied with life? Maybe felt disappointed or discouraged with how your life has been up to this point?

Our prayer is that after listening to this episode you would be fueled and ignited to begin pursuing the Lord like never before opening up an opportunity for Him to work in and through your life to spark a revival that we all seek.

Everyone desires to be healthy and fit, but only few give the time, attention, and energy to doing so. And we aren’t just talking physical fitness. We are talking about holistic fitness which involves the body, mind, and spirit. We want to help individuals pursue and reach their goals physically, mentally/emotionally, relationally, and most important spiritually. Thankfully, our Built Different Guest today, Shane Manney, has a significant amount of experience in all aspects of life. Physically speaking, Shane has accumulated over 20 years of coaching experience that includes wrestling, boxing, submission grappling, and strength training along with serving 6 years as an infantry machine gunner in the United States MARINE Corps, 2 years as a police officer in Richmond, Virginia, and 8 years as a private security contractor and security lead supervisor for Exelon Nuclear Security.

His mission is to help individuals relate their struggles on the wrestling mats and in the cage to their daily battles in life, and to provide the necessary support to become moral representatives of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My favorite quote from the episode is, “Come as you are, but don’t stay as you are.” Don’t miss this powerful episode that will help you push past your comfort zones!

Love Your Neighbor with Former Professional Baseball Player and now World Renowned Inspirational Speaker, Chris Singleton, Ep. 08430 Aug 202200:28:30

Have you ever just heard a story in which someone reacted with such grace, compassion, and empathy that it completely blew you away? Well today’s Built Different Guest, former professional baseball player and now world renowned inspirational speaker, Chris Singleton, joins us on the podcast to share his personal testimony that will do just that. Chris’s impactful story tragically involves the loss of his mother due to the horrific 2015 Charleston Church Massacre. In the midst of unfathomable pain, Chris was left with a choice of either hardening his heart or living out one of the lessons we’ve all heard being, “In this life we won’t always be able to control our circumstances, but we can always control how we respond to them.” In the midst of one of the most heinous acts imagineable, Chris clung to the truth and promises found in God’s Word and chose to respond with LOVE. He lived out the very thing he was always taught growing up found in Mark 12:30-31 which reminds us that we are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and secondly we are to love our neighbor as ourself. Chris’s testimony is one that truly echoes and personifies the grace and forgiveness found in Christ. His goal and mission now rests in reminding every individual to choose love no matter someone’s skin color, ethnic background, or circumstance. It’s time to be the change we have all been looking for!

Learning the Intangibles: What Separates Good from Great with NFL Wide Receiver, Michael Strachan, Ep. 08216 Aug 202200:25:54

Growing up as a kid, something I was always reminded of was as you continue to grow and develop in whatever occupational field you may be pursuing, the tighter the skill gap gets. In simpler terms, as you continue to progress and rise to the top, when you look around everyone is going to look similar. They’ll be talented. They’ll have the abilities to get the job done, but there are only a select group of individuals who have what it takes to stand out in the midst of that elite group. What is it you may ask? THE INTANGIBLES… Our Built Different Guest today, Michael Strachan, knows a thing or two about what it takes to get to the next level and how to stand out when an opportunity arises. Ever since Mike was a kid growing up in the Bahamas, one dream has been on his mind - playing in the NFL. But to achieve this goal, he would have to endure several obstacles and make plenty of sacrifices to get there. From dropping everything to move to Virginia to play competitive high school football, to signing with and grinding at a smaller NCAA Division 2 University, to getting drafted in the 7th round by the Indianapolis Colts, to then standing out and having an unbelievable preseason last year, there was always something different about Mike and his mission. Yes, he was talented, but there’s always been something lying underneath the surface of all that talent. Today, Mike not only shares his testimony and journey with us, but he also discusses the intangibles that have helped him achieve his goal of getting to the NFL and have now propelled his goals higher to becoming an impact player in the NFL.

Developing the Habit of Surrender with Former JMU Football Player and now Lead Pastor, Brad Bell, Ep. 08109 Aug 202200:54:19

At some point in life, we have to be real with ourselves about the gap between the life we want to live and the life our daily habits are leading us toward. As John Maxwell always says, “So many of us have uphill dreams but downhill habits.” But let me remind you my friends, we are what we continually do. It’s easy to make a commitment, but it can be really hard to stay committed or consistent to that initial commitment when our feelings or busyness or distractions get in the way. How many times have you made that New Year’s resolution to do some form of physical activity every day or read through the Bible chronologically or finish a 365 page devotional just to see your goal fall short by Februrary because “life happened?” We’ve all been there, but in today’s episode we dive deep into how we can begin developing strong habits that will honor the Lord in our daily lives. The most important habit that we touch on today is that of SURRENDER! Sometimes, it’s okay to admit that you don’t have the motivation or strength to get the job done, but thankfully by asking and surrendering to the Holy Spirit, He can and will equip and encourage us in our weakest moments. Today’s Built Different Guest is a man who is passionate about this topic and helping others live a life of IMPACT in all that they do. Our guest today is Lead Pastor of Impact Church in Forest, VA, Pastor Brad Bell. In and throughout this episode, Pastor Brad shares of the faithfulness of God and how he has seen the Lord’s hand and fingerprints all throughout his life even during the painful or waiting seasons. Our prayer is that after listening to today’s epsiode you would be reminded of the Lord’s love for you and be encouraged to continually fight the good fight and stand on the truth of His Word. No matter how difficult it may be, keep pushing, and make sure your habits are steering you toward the life God has always intended for you.

What to do when you Feel like Quitting with NFL Wide Receiver, Alex Bachman, Ep. 08002 Aug 202200:53:10

Are you feeling overlooked, under appreciated, and just about ready to throw in the towel? Maybe you have sought to continually do what is right, yet do not feel like the Lord sees you or is pleased by your efforts. Today’s guest Alex Bachman, standout wide receiver at Wake Forrest and current NFL NY Giants player, has experienced all these feelings and more in his journey to the heights of the sporting world. By sharing his testimony, Alex encourages us to keep “fighting the good fight” (1 Timothy 6:12) and to “not grow weary in doing the next right thing” (Galatians 6:9) because even in our darkest moments God will provide the harvest if we “do not give up”. Get a behind-the-scenes look into the life of a professional athlete and be encouraged to lean into your adversity through today’s podcast.

The Spirit and the Shovel: Learning how to Be Still while still doing the Lord’s Work with Michael Perron, Ep. 07926 Jul 202200:36:01

In the fast paced, go get it mentality, and hustle oriented society and culture that we found ourselves in, how would you define success? Is it about the fame, the fortune, or the followership? This world does a really good job of constantly preaching discontentment, but what our Built Different Guest today offers us is a message of hope to remind you of what it takes to just be still and know that we serve the One, True, and Living God. Our guest today is Michael Perron. Michael serves as the Minister of Life Recovery at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. He describes this position as one that exists to help individuals recover the life that God has always intended for them. In this episode, Michael shares his incredibly moving testimony which reminds us of Mark 8:36 which says, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit His soul?” At a point in time in his life, Michael had everything - the looks, the money, the ladies, and more - but he was the emptiest he’s ever been! Ironically, the Lord used the height of his fitness modeling career as his rock bottom moment where he ran cliniging to Christ where he finally found the joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment he’s always desired. He leaves us with this thought - Are you living a life of success or are you living a life of significance?

Men Matter: Understanding Biblical Masculinity & the Significance of Having a Band of Brothers with President & Founder of Men’s Alliance, David Mills, Ep. 17711 Jun 202400:57:21

There’s no question that there has been a real beat down on men in our culture and society today. There’s been a radical push to silence men as many have pushed this toxic masculinity narrative stating that men are just buffoons, horrible husbands, terrible fathers, porn addicts, abusers, and more. Now something we do agree with is that there is such a thing as toxic behavior, but my friends, there is nothing toxic about being a man. However, so many struggle in silence with their shame, addictions, mental health concerns and more as our culture and society has made us believe that brokenness is equivalent to embarrassment. Today, though, as we approach Father’s Day and are in the middle of the month of June which is recognized as Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to take some time to remind men and dads how much they matter and that they cannot heal in hiding! Joining us today for an impactful discussion is the President and Founder of an incredible men’s ministry called Men’s Alliance, David Mills. David spent the majority of his career in the Air Force flying squadrons which taught him how tribes are formed, how they operate, and how they save lives. He’s seen how isolated men are and how badly they need a tribe, so he decided to create Men’s Alliance to fix that problem and help men become the husbands, fathers, and leaders that God has designed us to be. Through weekly 30-minute rugged, outdoor workouts and a 30-minute real-world devotion around a fire, David and Men’s Alliance are committed to getting men to close their laptops, get outside, and push themselves physically and spiritually! Real men make a difference - within their homes, marriages, families, workplaces, communities, and more, and today, we pray that this conversation would help you make the decision to stop going at this life alone and to find and plug into your tribe from here on out!

From Guilt to Grace: How a Pastor got to know Jesus in a Prison cell with Matthew Maher, Ep. 07819 Jul 202200:55:05

Do you feel like you are caught between two masters: trying to serve yourself and serve God at the same time? Or taking it further, Have you ever felt like you are too far gone for the Lord to use your life in mighty ways? You are too sinful, too broken, or a waste? Today’s guest speaks life and truth into all of these challenges and fears. With a powerful testimony that for the first time in podcast history brings Brooke and Zach to tears, the pastor from Coastal Christian Ocean City in New Jersey and founder of http://TruthOverTrend.com, Matthew Maher, explains that “nothing is wasteful to a God who is faithful”. Matthew shares his journey from a christian household, to professional soccer player, to a career ending ACL and meniscus tear, to the devastating night of March 7th, through five years in prison, and into the freedom and open arms of Jesus. Pastor Matthew’s testimony is one that you will not want to miss: listen and be encouraged to press into the voice of your Savior instead of the voice of your failure.

Finding Joy and Clinging to Truth in Difficult Seasons with Founder & President of the Truth Network, Stu Epperson Jr., Ep. 07712 Jul 202200:35:02

Did you know that the word “passion” has its roots in the Latin word pati, which means 'to suffer or endure.' Therefore, at the root of passion is suffering. One of the best movies ever made is Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of The Christ”. What most people believe this movie is all about is what most people believe the word Passion is all about - love, adoration, and affection for something. The truth is, yes, that is partially true, however, this movie is actually more about the suffering that Christ endured while on the cross. Jesus had and still has such a passion for His people and therefore He endured great suffering to demonstrate His love for us. Unfortunately, Satan loves to use anything he can to make us feel alone, isolated, overlooked, and even forgotten. Often times, he uses negative experiences, tragic events, toxic relationships, wounds, mistakes, and even bad decisions from our pasts to let the trauma affect the truth we believe about ourselves, others, and even the Lord. Thankfully today’s Built Different Guest, Stu Epperson Jr., is committed and passionate about spreading the light and truth of the gospel of Christ. Stu is the Founder and President of the Truth Network as well as host of the nationally syndicated radio show “Truth Talk Live”. In this episode, Stu joins us to share his personal testimony and how he is continually able to find joy and cling to the truth of God’s Word to help him navigate the challenges and adversity life has thrown his way! Don’t miss this powerful conversation!

Skin Deep: Finding your Beauty and Identity Inside and Out with Dr. Megan Allison, DMSc, PA-C, Ep. 07605 Jul 202200:44:33

It is all too easy to get caught up in comparison culture: Do I have enough money? Am I respected enough by my peers? Am I beautiful? Am I worthy? It makes sense that we feel so downcast while looking through the comparison lens because “comparison is the thief of joy”. If you feel caught up in this cycle, our guest today is ready to reaffirm your worth and help you to put a halt to the comparison game through her specific life experience and prowess in the medical arena. Today’s Built Different Guest is Dermatologist Megan Allison talks about why our worth and our beauty is not merely “skin deep”. Megan begins by giving medical advice on how to be good stewards of our body by taking care of our skin, shares her personal battle against acne and how she overcame the physical and mental challenges that came with it, and lastly applied scriptural wisdom to the topic of beauty and comparison. Megan’s unique perspective as a physician assistant gives us deep encouragement to reorient our hearts towards God’s perspective of worth and beauty as she challenges our community to “remember our worth”, that it is “okay to ask for help”, and to “stop the comparison game”. Imagine how you could live differently if you knew the source of your true worth!

WITHIN REACH: Disciplines for Real Life Change - Dr. Karl Benzio, Ep. 07528 Jun 202200:49:43

What if I told you today, the life you’re looking for is WITHIN YOUR REACH? Would you live any differently? Would you work a little harder? Would you love a little deeper? If you’re answer is yes, then what are you waiting for? Today’s podcast episode is all about how you can begin creating the life you want to live through the power of GOOD DECISION MAKING. 1 Kings Chapter 3, Solomon was given one request from the Lord. He could have asked for anything in the world, but he chose to ask for WISDOM. What wisdom can also be viewed as is the ability or skillset in making more effective and beneficial decisions. I’ve heard it said that Decisions determine direction and direction determines destiny. Today’s Built Different Guest understands the weight and affects decision making can have on our lives. Our guest today is Dr. Karl Benzio who is a leading Christian Psychiatrist and serves as the medical director for the American Association of Christian Counselors and is the cofounder and medical director at Honey Lake Clinic as well. Dr. Karl shares his powerful testimony, and he also discusses his SPEARS decision making model with us so we can begin implementing these simple steps into our daily lives and decisions as well. As Dr. Karl mentions in this episode, we have the ability to slow our minds down. There are these steps or space that happens between a stimulus or a situation and our decision or response to it. Viktor Frankl says, “In that space is our power to choose, and in that choice is our freedom and our growth.” What if you were just one or a couple of good decisions away from living a completely different life?

Comparison is the Thief of Joy - Lisa Bevere, Ep. 07421 Jun 202200:36:46

I don’t know about you, but it can sometimes be really difficult to not get caught up in the trap of the comparison culture that we live in. Always wanting to look better, make more money, buy bigger things, etc. to not only compete with other people but to compete with what we believe other people’s expectations are of us. But we must remember, comparison is the thief of joy and robs us of the abudant life that God has always intended for us. Thankfully, our Built Different Guest today, who is an incredibly powerful and passionate world-renowned communicator, podcaster, and best-selling author, Lisa Bevere, has dedicated her life to reminding people of their worth, value, and calling. One of our favorite quotes from Lisa says, “God doesn’t love us equally… He loves us uniquely! And Unique means without rival. You never have to compete or fight for the love and affection of the Lord.” In and throughout this entire episode, Lisa wants to remind you that God sees you. He hears you. He understands you. And He loves you more than you could ever possibly imagine. He is with you, and He has called you to greater things. Don’t give up now. Just keep pursuing Him, His will, and His calling and purpose for your life. Stop comparing, God created you intricately and uniquely to change the world. JUST BE YOU!

Relatable Redeemer: We do not have a High Priest who is Unable to Sympathize with our Weaknesses: with Pastor & Renowned Speaker, Grant Troutt, Ep. 07314 Jun 202200:40:36

When experiencing difficulty, pain, challenge, hardship, uncertainty, fear, worry, anxiety, addiction, and more, have you ever just questioned where God was? Does He even hear my cry? Does He even know my thoughts? Will He ever show up? Why is this happening to me? Or how about the infamous, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”

This makes me think of the book of Habakkuk where even in the midst of Habakkuk’s doubt, uncertainty, and frustration, God reminds Him that even though you may not understand what’s happening now, if you just TRUST me and live by FAITH, you’ll see that I can make ALL things work together for the good of those who love me and whom I have called according to my purpose (Romans 8:28). 

Today’s Built Different Guest is no stranger to affliction and adversity! Grant Troutt is one of the most kind, genuine, and life-giving people you will ever meet, but life wasn’t and still isn’t always easy! Having experienced countless injuries that eventually ended his athletic aspirations, to getting lost in addiction… Grant has had his fair share of anger and doubting God. Yet, even though this life is hard and God never promised otherwise, He has reminded Grant that His plan is still perfect and His timing is never late! He just simply asks us to trust His plan and pleads with us to not lose our hope, because hope is never lost, sometimes it just needs to be redirected. Hope is a person! 

Our prayer is that through this episode, you would feel encouraged, refreshed, and challenged to keep trusting, believing, and surrendering every day over to what the Lord has planned for your life! You know why? Because the Lord gets your pain. He understands your suffering. He too has experienced it and is currently in your midst experiencing it all with you right now! He has never left your side! Hebrews 4:15 says, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses…” but the beautiful thing is that as 1 Peter 5:10 reminds us that, “After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

My friends this too shall pass, and as Grant reminds us throughout this episode, what if your most PAINFUL moments and seasons were PREPARING you for your greatest PURPOSE in this life! Don’t give up now! When we TRUST in our trustworthy God, we don’t need to know why. We only need to know Him.

Wake Up Call: God wants to spark Urgency and Revival in Your Life with Powerful Evangelists, Jim Vansteenhouse & Sal Sberna, Ep. 07207 Jun 202200:46:22

One of my favorite quotes from this episode reads, “Most Christians are like the Arctic River - frozen at the mouth.” Have you ever wondered why it can be so difficult for us to share the good news of the gospel? Maybe it’s out of fear, wanting to just blend or fit in, maybe it’s so you’re not labeled that Jesus freak by your friend group. But unfortunately people are lost, wandering, and every day dying internally because sometimes we are too afraid to simply speak up! Today’s Built Different Guests include two amazing men of God, Jim VanSteenhouse and Sal Sberna! Both of these men have unbelievably powerful testimonies that I cannot wait for you to hear in this week’s episode. It’s amazing what God will use as an interruption in our lives to spark urgency and revival within our culture and society today who we know desperately need it! what if the change we were looking and even praying for all started with you?

It’s pretty evident that our country has been going through some challenging times here recently. A lot of pain, heartbreak, and devastation to say the least. One thing that has been breaking my heart specifically is the effects that we are seeing within our youth, adolescents, and next generation. For countless reasons including the crumbling of the home, traumatic events, and so much more, kids are being predisposed to experiencing mental health struggles and challenges such as issues with self-esteem, anger, emotion regulation, fear of abandonment, and we’re even seeing a staggering uptick in anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicidality as well. Thankfully, today’s Built Different Guest is someone who has been on the frontlines for quite some time as he has a strong heart and passion to help impact and influence our next generation, Dr. Jay Strack. Dr. Strack is the President and Founder of Student Leadership University (SLU), and he has had the opportunity of speaking and sharing within countless high schools, colleges, universities, companies, organizations, and professional sports teams across the world. Having experienced an incredibly difficult upbringing himself filled with abuse, broken homes, juvenile detention centers, and more, Jay wants people to understand that they are capable, seen, and pursued by a God who still has a plan for their lives. Your past, mistakes, challenges, and adversity do not define you. God fully knows you and fully loves you. Just be sure that you’re not wasting your sorrows!

Be Anxious for Nothing with Leading Mental Health Expert, Dr. Gregory Jantz, Ep. 06917 May 202200:32:57

Did you know that Anxiety Disorders are the most common mental health disorders and affect nearly 30% of U.S. adults at some point during their life? I believe at some point in all of our lives, we’ve all felt a little anxious about something - a current situation, relationship, finances, work life, the future, etc. But how do we stop anxiety from robbing our joy and stealing our peace? Thankfully, today’s Built Different Guest, Dr. Gregory Jantz, who is a leading expert on the topic of mental health, especially on the topic of anxiety, is here to hopefully bring some clarity to that question. In this episode, through Dr. Jantz’s wisdom, knowledge, and expertise, he breaks down the differences between anxiety and worry/fear, some common signs of anxiety in our day to day lives, as well as some simple tools and techniques that we can begin implementing into our mental health hygiene to spark the peace that God initially intended for us. Philippians 4:6 reads, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known to God.” Although anxiety will speak lies, God always wants to remind you of His truth.

Suffering in Silence: Understanding the Pressures & Stressors Fueling the Suicide Epidemic in our Country with Renowned Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Advocate & Speaker, Emma Benoit, Ep. 17604 Jun 202400:46:32

There’s no question that suicide has become an epidemic in our country and world today. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among people aged 15–24 in the U.S., and according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, nearly 20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide with 9% having made an attempt to end their lives. Beyond that, there’s a significant concern for our girls and our daughters as the CDC recently reported that 57% of our girls reported signs of persistent sadness and depression, with 30% of our girls reporting seriously considering and contemplating suicide. This is alarming and is a fight that we must all stand up and fight against through creating environments of safety and vulnerability for people so they understand they do not have to suffer in silence. Thankfully today, we have a very special guest who has a personal testimony around the topic of suicide as she is a suicide attempt survivor and now renowned mental health and suicide prevention advocate, Emma Benoit. In this conversation Emma helps expose many of the pressures and stressors facing today’s generations, but she also provides us with hope, encouragement, and strategies that we can begin implementing within our homes, friendships, and workplaces to work against the suicide epidemic. One thing we know is that just because someone carries it well does not mean that it’s not heavy. Together, we can remind people that they were made for so much more!

Haven’t Seen It Yet: Trusting a FAITHFUL God even when we can’t track or trace Him with Christian singer & songwriter, Danny Gokey, Ep. 06703 May 202200:32:55

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!

I Want to Be Different: A Heart’s Cry to Stand and Step Out in Faith with World Renowned Christian singer & songwriter, Micah Tyler, Ep. 06519 Apr 202200:38:52

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.

All we simply have to do is say YES to Jesus through asking for the forgiveness of our sins and believing in Him.
