    God Actually Likes You - E15

    This episode starts off chaotic (as usual) — from terrible (or epic?) car ideas to some wild stories about addiction and what it results in. But then we take a turn as we talk about what it actually means that God is watching over your life — and why that’s way better than most people think. If you’ve ever felt like God is distant, disappointed, or just waiting for you to mess up… this might completely change how you see Him. 00:00:00 – Hardest thing I’ve ever had to quit00:00:33 – The haircut conversation begins00:01:16 – What should our kids remember us by?00:01:45 – Funeral perspective changes everything00:02:44 – I want my kids to know I loved them00:03:21 – That escalated quickly back to normal00:04:16 – Danny: "I want a terrible car so bad"00:05:00 – Pulling up to the country club in a beater00:06:14 – The unhinged truck idea00:08:20 – Paul's Wheelbarrow taxi business idea00:09:44 – What a cigarette bender feels like00:10:05 – I’ve smoked 25,000 cigarettes00:12:07 – 60 cigarettes in a day00:13:36 – Hardest thing I’ve ever had to quit (full context)00:14:36 – Danny's First pedicure experience00:19:05 – The face tattoo resurfaces00:21:03 – Psalm 121 and where our help comes from00:21:51 – There’s so much safety in that00:22:23 – God has your life figured out00:22:50 – God never sleeps00:23:34 – God is watching you, but not how you think00:23:57 – He actually enjoys watching your life00:27:05 – God is camping out over your life00:30:47 – God doesn’t just love you, He likes you #ChristianPodcast#FaithTalk#GodIsGood#ChristianLiving#FaithOverFear#SpiritualGrowth#BibleTruth#GodLovesYou#Jesus#TrustGod#FaithJourney#HopeInGod Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/shorts/TTvNjzVJN6E Build Different Podcast  |  Danny Woodhead & Paul Lanphier  |  Released April 7, 2026

    Crazy Healing Stories - E14

    We talk about the craziest healings we've seen with our own eyes even when we didn't have faith for them... This episode starts off exactly how you’d expect… sports talk, random debates, and some absolutely ridiculous moments - but then it takes a turn. We get real about healing — what we’ve seen, what we’ve experienced, and the tension of believing God heals… while also walking through moments where He doesn’t. We share personal stories of miracles, answered prayers, unanswered prayers, and what it really means to trust that God is still good no matter the outcome. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about healing, faith, or disappointment with God — this one’s for you. ⚡ Topics we hit: * Nebraska March Madness heartbreak (we’re still recovering)* The most intense game we’ve ever attended* Injuries, injections, and pain tolerance* The wild idea of Paul entering a bodybuilding competition* Can God heal through medicine?* Real-life miracle stories* What to do when healing doesn’t happen* Why believing “God is good” changes everything Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share if this episode encouraged you. 00:00:00 – “The Wildest Healing Story Ever (Cold Open)”00:00:40 – “We’re Back (Life Got Busy)”00:01:12 – “Nebraska’s Heartbreaking Loss”00:02:05 – “Why Iowa Might Be the Most Boring State Ever”00:03:44 – “Wait… Why Are They Called That??”00:06:29 – “What Do You Say After a Crushing Loss?”00:08:00 – “The Most Intense Game We’ve Ever Been To”00:11:17 – “I Thought It Was Just Pain… It Wasn’t”00:12:23 – “Cortisone Shots Are NO Joke”00:14:41 – “The Fake Bodybuilding Career Begins”00:17:06 – “Mr. Olympia Dreams (Delusion Mode Activated)”00:22:28 – “Can God Heal Through Medicine?”00:22:41 – “What We Actually Believe About Healing”00:23:25 – “Healing Isn’t Always Instant”00:23:46 – “If It Doesn’t Happen… Is God Still Good?”00:27:39 – “The Craziest Healing Story (Full Version)”00:29:28 – “My Dad Was Almost LifeFlighted…”00:31:00 – “The ‘Leg Growing’ Moment 👀”00:32:31 – “What Are We Actually Called To Do?”00:33:14 – “Just Pray for People”00:34:08 – “The Real Healing (Bigger Than Physical)”00:35:27 – “When Healing Doesn’t Happen”00:36:19 – “The Enemy’s Biggest Lie”00:36:37 – “Final Encouragement: Pray Boldly” Build Different Podcast  |  Danny Woodhead & Paul Lanphier  |  Released April 2, 2026 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lSYP8YpkbBY

    Why Distraction is the Enemy's Favorite Weapon - E13

    We kick off this episode with some new stories: the spilled LaCroix trauma, a Buffalo Wild Wings phone crisis and the legendary Ohio Nachos incident. Danny then explains why Paul should never, under any circumstances, be allowed to coach in the NFL. Then our conversation takes a sharp turn into work ethic, accountability, victim mentality, and why being “busy” is not the same thing as being effective. By the end we have a powerful conversation about spiritual warfare, distraction, identity, and why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is whisper the name of Jesus and truly put your trust in Him.  Watch the conversation unfold on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LYqZBJLqU00 Build Different Podcast  |  Episode 13  |  Danny Woodhead & Paul Lanphier  |  Released 03/11/2026 Key Moments: 00:01:02 – The running joke: Paul constantly saying “I’m just joking.”00:03:16 – The LaCroix spill incident and the parenting apology tour.00:05:32 – The legendary Buffalo Wild Wings phone disappearance panic.00:07:39 – Was the missing phone actually… spiritual warfare?00:08:41 – The infamous Ohio Nachos lie resurfaces.00:13:53 – Nebraska basketball depression and the psychology of sports fans.00:19:24 – Why some coaches rise quickly in the NFL.00:23:24 – The accountability crisis in sports and society.00:26:05 – Why chasing career success can cost you your family.00:34:41 – Spiritual warfare and the enemy’s main strategy: distraction.00:44:44 – The power of speaking the name of Jesus when you’re under attack. #SpiritualWarfare#ChristianLiving#FaithAndLife#Distraction#EnemyTactics#IdentityInChrist#ChristianPodcast#FaithBased#LeadershipMindset#PersonalGrowth#MindsetShift#BuildDifferent

    Why Losing is Good for Your Kids - E12

    How do you handle loss and adversity? What's it like to lose the Super Bowl? Can burnout be avoided? - All this and more in E12! In this episode we start with some crazy stories from Paul's high-school days - one of which ends with "like 20 cop cars." Danny then shares how he handled haters and hecklers while playing in college and we share our conviction that youth sports (parents - we're talking to you!) have gotten out-of-control. Some of our best life lessons came from being on a "bad" team and handling losses. Danny talks about what it was like to lose the Super Bowl and how he personally walked through it with his family. We then chat about raising resilient kids and how burnout is a trap you can take simple, concrete steps to avoid. We hope you're strengthened and encouraged by spending this time with us! And, as Paul says, "be blessed!"

    Life Comes at You Fast | Grief, Comebacks, and Trusting God in the Storm E11

    What do you do when life hits hard and grief shows up unexpectedly? In this episode, we talk about real suffering, real faith, and whether God is still good in the middle of it all. But first, we begin with arthritis complaints, fake medical credentials, tornado sirens, and whether neck tattoos are spiritually responsible decisions. Along the way, we debate Adam Sandler movies, sneaking into theaters, high school basketball trauma, and if a middle-aged man could lead a powerhouse football team to a state title. But then life gets real. A fresh family crisis opens up an honest conversation about grief, memory loss, and watching someone you love slowly fade. In the middle of it all, we wrestle with one big question: Is God still good when suffering shows up? And how do we actually receive comfort so we can give it to others?

    “We’re Just Serious” 😂 | Hallmark Fails, High School Hoops Debates & Ephesians 2:10 Explained

    Are we “two normal guys”… or just serious? 😂 In this episode, we debate high school basketball glory days, invent a Hallmark card business guaranteed to get cancelled, and consider handing affirmation cards to Nebraska basketball players before tip-off (what could go wrong?). From “boxy one” defenses to getting “caught by laughter,” the word salads are flying. But then we pivot. In one of our most meaningful conversations yet, we unpack Ephesians 2:10 — what it means to be God’s handiwork, created with purpose, and why true freedom isn’t independence… it’s dependence. If you’ve ever wrestled with calling, anxiety, identity, or wondering if you’re “on track” with God’s will, this one’s for you. You were built different. And on purpose.

    Super Bowl Stories, Olympic Dreams, and Living Unoffended - Podcast E9

    Danny Woodhead and Paul Lanphier start with wild Super Bowl stories, Olympic dreams, and Division II delusions—and somehow end in an incredibly honest conversation about offense, forgiveness, and spiritual freedom. What begins as nonstop roasting, sports nonsense, and laugh-out-loud hypotheticals slowly turns into a deep, practical discussion on why living offended quietly destroys relationships and how forgiveness actually sets you free. From NFL locker room realities to credit card roulette at a steakhouse, and from unfiltered humor to biblical truth, this episode is a reminder that laughter opens the door—but grace changes lives. Key Moments: 00:00 – Why hype culture doesn’t work in the NFL01:00 – Olympic dreams, Super Bowl confusion, and immediate chaos02:10 – “I definitely could’ve gone D-II” (a bold claim)03:30 – The reality check: social awareness vs fantasy football confidence05:40 – Olympic speed skating… as a duo? 🇺🇸⛸️08:10 – Imaginary NFL careers, angels in the end-zone, and five touchdowns10:05 – What Super Bowl week is really like as a player13:15 – Steakhouse stories, expensive wine, and credit card roulette 💳🥩18:30 – “The glory of the game” vs real NFL mentality24:50 – Why living offended slowly wrecks your heart34:45 – Forgiveness, identity, and dying to self50:05 – Jesus on the cross, forgiveness, and real freedom #SuperBowlStories#LivingUnoffended#ChristianPodcast#FaithAndLife#Forgiveness#NFLStories#OlympicDreams#ChristianMen#SpiritualGrowth#GraceOverOffense#RealConversations#PodcastClips Build Different Podcast | Episode 9 | Recorded & Released 02/06/2026 Watch on YouTube:https://youtu.be/WpwMmiPI_vM
