    Called to More: Breaking Passivity and Living for What Lasts with John Bevere, Ep. 266

    In this special backstage episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded live from the AACC 2025 United World Conference in Nashville, TN, Dr. Zach Clinton and Joshua Broome sit down with best-selling author and renowned global minister John Bevere for a powerful and prophetic conversation. In today’s conversation John brings a timely word to the Church, addressing the spiritual realities shaping our culture and calling believers to stand firm in this critical hour. The conversation dives into: the divided culture we find ourselves in and how the enemy uses offense and division to disarm believers; exposing how distraction and compromise weaken the Church; a stirring challenge for men to rise up as spiritual leaders in their homes and communities; exploring Ephesians 2:10 and how every believer has God-given gifts to fulfill their divine purpose; why it’s time for the Church to prepare for the return of Christ with urgency and purity; how one of the most important things in life may not be what you do but who you raise and the legacy you leave behind; and a final word of hope, encouragement, and motivation for leaders to live boldly and intentionally in this cultural moment. This episode will stir your spirit, sharpen your focus, and strengthen your resolve to live faithfully and courageously in the days ahead.Mentioned in this episode:Find Out More About John: https://johnbevere.com/Pick up a Copy of one of John’s best-selling Books: https://store.messengerinternational.org/collections/books-by-john-bevere?__hstc=200411057.a8e2129780919694fa9b8c08bca59855.1761337852882.1761337852882.1761337852882.1&__hssc=200411057.1.1761337852882&__hsfp=1542494017Find Out More About Messenger International: https://messengerinternational.org/Subscribe to John’s YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@johnbeveretv?si=GtPelJKWlNjweTsAStruggling with Purpose, Anxiety, Addiction, etc.?

    Finding Courage When You Feel Discouraged: Standing Strong in Changing Times, Ep. 265

    In this powerful episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded backstage at the Refuel Conference at Thomas Road Baptist Church, Dr. Zach Clinton and cohost Joshua Broome sit down with Pastor Gary Hamrick — Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia. Gary has faithfully led Cornerstone from a small group of believers to a thriving congregation of thousands. His ministry sits at a unique cultural crossroads, just outside Washington, D.C., giving him a front-row seat to the intersection of faith, culture, and government. Over the years, Gary has become a trusted voice on religious liberty, biblical truth, and courageous leadership in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. In this conversation, Gary shares his heart for revival and renewal, unpacking why gatherings like Refuel are vital for weary ministry leaders. He offers insight into what he’s seeing in the flock — from mental health struggles and spiritual discouragement to growing cultural hostility toward Christianity — and provides deeply biblical encouragement for overcoming discouragement in ministry through Psalm 42. His voice is both a pastoral encouragement and a prophetic challenge for the Church to rise with courage and conviction in this cultural moment.   Mentioned in this episode: Visit Cornerstone Chapel: https://cornerstonechapel.net/ Watch some of Gary’s Sermons: https://cornerstonechapel.net/teachings/teaching-library/ Feeling Downcast?

    Surviving an Unwanted Divorce: A Biblical, Practical Guide to Letting Go While Holding Yourself Together with Lysa TerKeurst, Ep. 264

    In this special backstage episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded at the AACC 2025 United World Conference, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with a dear friend, Lysa TerKeurst — bestselling author, speaker, and Founder & President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. With over 7,000 Christian counselors, coaches, clinicians, pastors, and ministry leaders gathered in Nashville from around the world, this year’s conference has been a powerful time of worship, equipping, and encouragement. In this deeply personal conversation, Lysa opens up about one of the most difficult chapters of her life: walking through an unwanted divorce. As her newest book, Surviving an Unwanted Divorce, prepares to release on November 11th, Lysa shares with honesty and biblical clarity how God met her in the middle of heartbreak. Together, Dr. Zach and Lysa talk through: the journey of trusting God in seasons you never expected, what it looked like for Lysa to lead Proverbs 31 Ministries while navigating private pain, how Scripture speaks to and protects women in the context of divorce, common phrases that can unintentionally hurt, and how to truly support someone walking through divorce, God’s heart for those in unwanted divorce, and the hope available for the next step forward. This conversation is both biblically rich and emotionally honest, offering practical guidance, spiritual truth, and hope for anyone walking through — or walking with someone through — the pain of unwanted divorce.   Websites: Visit Lysa’s Website: https://lysaterkeurst.com/  Pre-Order Lysa’s New Book, Surviving an Unwanted Divorce: https://www.p31bookstore.com/collections/lysa-terkeurst-books-and-bible-studies/products/surviving-an-unwanted-divorce  Proverbs 31 Ministries: https://proverbs31.org/  Other Books by Lysa TerKeurst: https://www.p31bookstore.com/collections/lysa-terkeurst-books-and-bible-studies  Receive Christ-Centered Care through Christian Care Connect: https://christiancareconnect.com/   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

TIME Magazine has called Chris “the most often sung artist in the world,” and for good reason. With songs like “How Great Is Our God,” “Good Good Father,” and “Holy Forever,” Chris’s music has been the soundtrack of worship for believers around the globe. But beyond the music, Chris shares a timely reminder that “The King is still the King” no matter what we face. In this conversation, Chris opens up about his journey and calling, the heart behind his new album, and what it means to worship in a fractured culture. He talks about the spiritual hunger he’s seeing across the Church, how worship can be used as a weapon against fear and discouragement, and how God has personally met him in seasons of uncertainty. You’ll hear about his passion for Scripture-infused songs like “How Good It Is,” his role in The Last Supper film, and his hope for those who will join him on his upcoming Fall Tour, that launched September 17th and spans across 20 U.S. cities. This episode is a reminder that worship isn’t just a song…it’s a declaration of truth. The King is still good. The King is still faithful. The King is still on the throne.   Mentioned in this episode: Visit Chris’s Website: https://christomlin.com/ Listen to Chris’s New Album, The King is Still the King: https://christomlin.com/pages/music Check Out Chris’s Fall Tour Dates: https://christomlin.com/pages/tour Join us at EWomen: https://ewomen.net/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

    Built Different: Josh Rutledge on The Process & Practices of Spiritual Formation & Living Counter-Culturally, Ep. 260

    On this episode of the Built Different Podcast, we’re joined by Josh Rutledge, Vice President of Spiritual Development at Liberty University. Josh is passionate about equipping the next generation to live out authentic faith in a culture that constantly challenges it. From his leadership on campus to his preaching in Convocation and Campus Community, Josh has a unique vantage point into what God is doing in the lives of young adults today. In our conversation, Josh reflects on the sobering cultural moment we’re living in and how tragic events have stirred both grief and a renewed hunger for truth among students. He shares powerful insights on the revival and spiritual awakening taking place across college campuses, highlighting the ways students are pressing in with a genuine desire to follow Jesus. We also talk about the dangers that threaten faith formation in young adults, the importance of discipleship as a “long obedience in the same direction,” and why spiritual formation requires not just learning about Jesus but also living like Him. Josh unpacks the heart behind Liberty’s “Built Different” sermon series, emphasizing holy habits, community, mentorship, and perseverance as essential to cultivating a resilient faith. Throughout the episode, Josh reminds us that while the challenges of our culture are real, God is at work in extraordinary ways, raising up a generation committed to truth, righteousness, and the gospel. His prayer, and ours, is that students would not only encounter Christ but also embrace a life of deep, lasting formation in Him.   🔗 Next Steps & Resources Learn more about Josh Rutledge and the Office of Spiritual Development at Liberty University: https://www.liberty.edu/osd/ Watch Liberty University Convocation (live and archived): https://www.liberty.edu/osd/lu-stages/convocation/ Join Campus Community online: https://www.liberty.edu/osd/lu-stages/campus-community/ Follow Liberty Spiritual Development on Instagram for updates and encouragement: https://www.instagram.com/libertyosd/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

    Built Different with Dr. Zach Clinton — Guest: Charles Billingsley, Ep. 259

    In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Zach sits down with worship leader, recording artist, and teaching pastor, Charles Billingsley, to explore the topics of leadership, calling, and the power of a quiet life. In this power packed conversation, Dr. Zach and Charles begin by reflecting on the upcoming Refuel Conference: a free, two-day conference at Thomas Road Baptist Church (Oct 6–7) designed to encourage and equip pastors, staff, ministry leaders, and you. Charles speaks candidly about burnout in ministry and why intentional moments of worship, rest, and learning matter now more than ever. He traces his story from a childhood on the road with his evangelist dad, to early mentors who invested in his calling, to seasons with NewSong, and years serving local churches from coast to coast. Charles explains how he reconciled platform and humility, seeing every song as a “four-minute sermon”, and why he chooses intimacy over immediacy, margin over hurry, and faithfulness over flash. Additionally, in this conversation, they unpack three disciplines for ministry: solitude (creating margin for God and people), study (Charles writes messages nearly word-for-word, then leaves room for the Spirit), and suffering (his harrowing COVID valley which included pneumonia, low oxygen, blood clots and how those moments became a school of worship where songs like “Great Are You Lord” and “Goodness of God” anchored his trust). The result is a raw, hope-filled invitation to abide in Christ, on the mountaintops and in the valleys, and to lead from overflow, not emptiness.   Calls to Action Register for Refuel (Oct 6–7): Save your spot at www.refuel.org and bring your team.
