    Developing an Even If Faith: Trusting the God Who Delights in Impossibility This New Year with Dylan Mandell, Ep. 283

    In this New Year’s conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Dylan Mandell to explore what real resilience looks like when life becomes painfully uncertain. Dylan shares why so many people abandon their goals early in the year and how a shift in spiritual perspective can change everything. He unpacks how discipline is not rooted in motivation or willpower, but in identity, obedience, and daily dependence on God. Throughout the conversation, Dylan reflects on what it looks like to place hope fully in Jesus rather than in circumstances, outcomes, or treatments, and how physical consistency has become a powerful tool for strengthening his spiritual health and resilience as well. His story challenges listeners to rethink strength, success, and what it truly means to trust God when the future feels unclear. Dylan also opens up about how suffering has reshaped his gratitude, sharpened his priorities, and deepened his awareness of what truly matters. He speaks honestly about what cancer can take, but even more powerfully about what God can redeem through faith, purpose, perspective, and love for others. Through Scripture, remembrance, and anchoring himself in eternal truth, Dylan reveals how he stays grounded on the hardest days. This conversation offers a biblical vision of godly resilience for a new year, reminding listeners that strength is not found in trying harder, but in trusting deeper, choosing hope, and continuing to walk faithfully with Jesus one obedient step at a time.   Links: Follow Dylan on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/dylanmandell/ Dylan Mandell 12-Week Workout Plan: https://payhip.com/b/42rfm Saved By Jesus Merch: https://savedbyjesus.co/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
