The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton

The question isn't whether adversity will come. The question is: Who will you become when it does? In this week’s powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with retired Navy SEAL Lieutenant, Jason Redman, to explore what it truly means to overcome adversity. After surviving a devastating ambush in Iraq that left him shot eight times, Jason discovered that his greatest battle wasn't on the battlefield…it was the one that followed during recovery. Together, they discuss the "Overcome Mindset," resilience, leadership, discipline, marriage, faith, and why every person will eventually face a "life ambush." From the lessons of Navy SEAL training and combat to the famous handwritten sign on his hospital door that inspired millions, Jason shares practical wisdom on choosing courage over comfort, discipline over motivation, hope over despair, and faith over fear. Whether you're navigating grief, trauma, failure, anxiety, betrayal, or life's unexpected setbacks, this conversation is a powerful reminder that adversity doesn't have to define your story…but your response to it will.

What do you do when your world falls apart… but life keeps moving forward anyway? In this deeply personal and hope-filled conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Grammy-nominated and Dove Award–winning artist Danny Gokey to talk about grief, resilience, faith, redemption, and the healing power of hope. From navigating the heartbreaking loss of his first wife just weeks before appearing on American Idol, to becoming one of Christian music’s most impactful voices, Danny shares how God met him in the middle of pain and slowly rebuilt his heart, purpose, and future. Together, they unpack what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t make sense, how suffering can deepen our faith instead of destroying it, the purpose behind songs like Tell Your Heart to Beat Again and Haven’t Seen It Yet, and the powerful moments Danny is witnessing on the Hope Nights Tour across America. They also dive into the important topic of scrupulosity, what can happen when OCD and faith collide, and how fear, shame, perfectionism, and religious anxiety can distort our understanding of God’s character, grace, and love. If you’ve ever wrestled with intrusive thoughts, condemnation, grief, disappointment, heartbreak, or uncertainty, this episode is a reminder that God is still writing your story, and sometimes the very thing that nearly broke you becomes the platform through which He brings hope, healing, freedom, and encouragement to others.

In this powerful Fourth of July special celebrating America's 250th anniversary, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with former Marine, Navy SEAL, and SEAL Team 6 Tier One Operator Eddie Penney for one of the most raw and unforgettable conversations ever featured on Built Different. After serving twenty years on the front lines of America's fight against terrorism, Eddie witnessed unimaginable evil, carried the weight of life-and-death decisions, lost brothers in combat, and returned home searching for peace in all the wrong places. Together, Zach and Eddie explore the psychology of combat, moral injury, PTSD, identity beyond performance, biblical masculinity, spiritual warfare, and the difficult road of reintegration. Eddie candidly shares how alcohol, pornography, pills, and achievement could never satisfy the deepest longings of his soul until one simple question: "What do you want?", began a journey that ultimately led him to surrender everything to Christ. Whether you're a veteran, first responder, husband, father, or simply someone wrestling with your own battles, this conversation is a compelling reminder that you're never too far gone, freedom always comes at a cost, and the greatest battle you'll ever fight may not be on a battlefield but within your own heart.

In one of the most honest and heartfelt conversations yet on the Built Different podcast, Hall of Fame wide receiver and three-time Super Bowl champion Michael Irvin opens up about the highs of fame, the lows of addiction and brokenness, and the grace of God that changed everything. Behind the spotlight and success was a man wrestling with identity, poor decisions, emptiness, and pain, but in 2001, Michael surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and began a journey of true transformation. In this episode, Michael shares powerful lessons on redemption, responsibility, purpose, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who point you back to God. From his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes to the hard truth that “God didn’t save you for you,” this conversation is a reminder that your past does not disqualify you from being used by God. If you’ve ever felt too broken, too ashamed, or too far gone, Michael’s story will encourage you to come home, embrace grace, and believe that God can still use your life for something greater.

What happens when you achieve everything the world says should satisfy you… and you still feel empty inside? In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, former NFL punter, Super Bowl champion, and 2x NFL’s ‘Fittest Man’, Steve Weatherford joins Dr. Zach Clinton to unpack the hidden emptiness behind fame, performance, achievement, and external success while revealing how true fulfillment can only be found in Christ. Together, they discuss identity, purpose, biblical masculinity, personal responsibility, breaking generational cycles, high performance, leadership in the home, and what it means to steward your mind, body, and spirit God’s way. Steve vulnerably shares how his identity shifted from performance to purpose, why success can never fill the God-shaped void within us, and how God can redeem anyone willing to surrender their life fully to Him. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who God is calling you to become, this conversation will challenge you to stop living for applause and start living on mission.
