  Kirk Cameron: Who's Discipling Your Children? - Biblical Truth, Cultural Influence, Parenting, & Raising Children with Purpose, Ep. 311 21.07.2026 39min

  In this episode of The Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton is joined by his father, Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, for a conversation with actor, author, and outspoken advocate for faith and family, Kirk Cameron. Together they unpack the cultural battle underway for the hearts and minds of the next generation, from the messaging embedded in children's entertainment and education, to Kirk's own national library book tour and the pushback he encountered along the way. Kirk shares why he decided the church can't just complain about culture but must create something better, discussing his new family-centered television show built to give parents trustworthy, biblically grounded content. The conversation turns practical as Kirk and Dr. Clinton talk through the shift from a play-based to a phone-based childhood, what it actually looks like to rescue kids from a corrupted culture inside the home, and the two or three things children need most from their parents to develop real character, faith, and resilience. It's a candid, hope-filled charge to parents, grandparents, and mentors that culture may be loud, but a parent who speaks truth and shows up with intentionality remains one of the most powerful forces shaping the next generation. Kirk closes with what gives him hope for the families choosing to lead with courage in this moment.   Links: Visit Kirk’s Website: Home | Kirk Cameron | USA Stream Iggy & Mr. Kirk on Brave+: https://bravebooks.us/pages/brave-plus Watch the Kirk Cameron Show: The Kirk Cameron Show Pick Up Your Copy of Born to Be Brave: https://shorturl.at/3ScrZ Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: Find Trusted Therapists - Christian Care Connect Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

  Navy SEAL Jason Redman: The Overcome Mindset - Resilience, Leadership, Marriage & Crushing Adversity, Ep. 310 14.07.2026 1h 21min

  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.   Links: Visit Jason’s Webiste: https://jasonredman.com/ Pick Up a Copy of one of Jason’s Best-Selling Books: https://jasonredman.com/books/ Read More About the Sign on the Door: https://jasonredman.com/about/sign-on-the-door/ Asking for help is hard.

  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.   Links: Check Out Danny’s Website Here: https://www.dannygokey.com/ Go See Danny on Tour: https://www.dannygokey.com/tour Listen to Danny’s Music: https://www.dannygokey.com/music BrainMD Supplements: https://shorturl.at/rGXwh Struggling with your mental health?

  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.   Links: Visit the Unafraid Website: https://unafraid.org/connect/ Follow Eddie on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/eddie.penney/?hl=en Purchase Eddie’s Book, Unafraid: https://shorturl.at/LOJI0 Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel Today: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

  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.

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.

  Edwin Martin: You Can’t Outrun Your Mind - Breaking Mental Barriers Through Faith, Discipline, & Hope, Ep. 304 02.06.2026 1h 2min

  What do you do when the pain gets heavy, your mind gets loud, and quitting feels easier than continuing forward? In this deeply honest and inspiring conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with endurance runner and mental health advocate Edwin Martin to talk about resilience, suicide awareness, faith, mental toughness, and the hope that can still be found in the middle of suffering. From running 24 straight hours in honor of the 70 suicides in Charleston County last year to completing a 194-mile run across the state of South Carolina to support mental health initiatives, Edwin shares how choosing hard things transformed not only his body, but his mind, identity, and relationship with God. Together, they unpack Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, the silent struggles many men carry, the power of brotherhood and community, overcoming limiting beliefs, and why “chosen suffering” can prepare us for life’s hardest moments. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that no matter how far behind you feel, how broken your past may seem, or how exhausted you are in the present moment, you are loved, your story matters, and with Jesus, there is always hope on the other side of the pain.   Links:Get Personal Coaching from Edwin: https://shorturl.at/cnTksRead More About Edwin’s “Project 24:70”: https://suicideloss.org/charleston-runner-endures-24-hour-run-for-suicide-awareness-5/Follow Edwin on social media: https://www.instagram.com/ironsned/Struggling with your mental health?

  John Wayne Walding: Get Back To Work - Pain, Perspective, and the Process of Biblical Masculinity, Ep. 303 25.05.2026 43min

  What does it look like to follow God… when everything in your life is falling apart? In this powerful Memorial Day episode and tribute, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down backstage at the most recent Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend with Green Beret veteran, Purple Heart recipient, Silver & Bronze Star Medalist, and warrior, John Wayne Walding, a man whose life is a living testimony of faith, courage, and resilience under fire. John Wayne served 12 years in the U.S. Army, including 7 years in the elite 3rd Special Forces Group. During the Battle of Shok Valley on April 6, 2008, he was struck by sniper fire that nearly severed his leg. In a moment that defines both grit and resolve, he applied a tourniquet and kept fighting alongside his team for hours. But this story isn’t just about what happened on the battlefield. It’s about what happened after. John Wayne opens up about the long road of recovery, becoming a below-the-knee amputee, and the internal battles many don’t see: mental health struggles, challenges in marriage, and the quiet weight that so many men carry but rarely talk about. Throughout it all, one truth stands out: faith is not tested in comfort; it’s revealed in the fire. We talk about what it means to trust God in suffering, to ask for strength instead of an easier life, and how pain, when surrendered, can become a tool for growth rather than an excuse for passivity. This conversation is also a direct challenge to men: to reject passivity, to embrace responsibility, to live with courage, humility, and intentionality, and to understand that real strength includes the willingness to be vulnerable and ask for help. John Wayne’s life reminds us that being a godly man isn’t about perfection…it’s about perseverance, surrender, and service.

  When Jesus' Scars Redefine Yours: Tim Tebow on Identity, Intimacy and Impact Through the Lens of the Cross 22.05.2026 33min

  Join us today for a special holiday weekend edition of “Built Different”!  What defines a life well lived? On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton welcomes Tim Tebow for a powerful conversation on identity, intimacy with Christ, and living a life marked by lasting impact. Known to many first for his achievements on the field: Heisman Trophy winner, national champion, NFL quarterback…Tim’s deeper impact has always extended far beyond football. From serving the “Most Vulnerable People” through the Tim Tebow Foundation to stepping into fatherhood with his wife Demi-Leigh and their daughter Daphne, Tim shares how identity, royalty, and calling have taken on even greater meaning in this season of life. At the center of this conversation is Tim’s new book, If The Tree Could Speak, a creative retelling of the crucifixion inspired by Luke 19:40. Through the perspective of the cross itself, Tim invites us to slow down and truly see the love displayed there, not as distant history, but as a present and personal rescue mission. Together, we explore what it means to live with urgency without anxiety, to lead with conviction anchored in love, and to “look again” at the people the world often overlooks. If you’ve ever felt unseen, dismissed, or forgotten, this episode is a reminder that the loudest declaration of love in history was completed for you.Links: Find Out More About Tim: https://timtebow.com/ Find Out More About the Tim Tebow Foundation: https://timtebowfoundation.org/ Purchase Tim’s Newest Book, If the Tree Could Speak, Here: timtebow.com/tree Purchase Tim’s Book, Look Again, Here: https://shorturl.at/JFL2B Follow Tim on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/timtebow/ Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Counseling or Coaching Today: https://christiancareconnect.com/   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

  What if the very battles you’re trying to avoid the most… are the ones God wants to use to build you the most? In this powerful backstage conversation from the Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with former Force Recon Marine, best-selling author, MMA champion, and renowned leader, Chad Robichaux, to talk about resilience, courage, and the kind of strength that is forged through adversity. Chad’s story is marked by intense trials, hard seasons, and moments that could have broken him, but instead became the foundation for purpose. Together, we unpack what it means to stop running from adversity and start partnering with it: to see hardship not as something working against you, but something shaping you into the man you’re called to become. We also address one of the greatest threats facing men today: passivity.Chad shares why drifting, disengagement, and avoidance quietly destroy purpose, and how choosing courage, responsibility, and community can radically change the trajectory of your life. This conversation is a call to step up, to lean into discomfort, to embrace the process, to reject passivity, and to become the kind of man who is built through the fire, not in spite of it, but because of it.

  Charles Metcalf: God Chose You - Untouchable Confidence for the Unstoppable Christian, Ep. 301 12.05.2026 48min

  What if the confidence you’ve been chasing… actually starts with one simple truth? God chose you. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Charles Metcalf of Transformation Church to unpack the message behind his most recent book, God Chose Me: Untouchable Confidence for the Unstoppable Christian. In a world filled with fear, comparison, and constant pressure to measure up, many people are quietly battling thoughts of “I’m not enough, I’m behind, or what if I’m found out?” But Charles challenges that narrative at its core, reminding us that true confidence isn’t built on performance or approval, but on identity. Together, Zach & Charles explore how fear is shaping our culture in subtle but powerful ways, from procrastination and perfectionism to people-pleasing and playing small, and how many believers are unknowingly living from insecurity masked as humility. Charles breaks down what it really means to say, “God chose me,” and how that truth has the power to dismantle rejection, silence self-doubt, and anchor you in something unshakable. They also dive into the practical side of confidence and how it’s not something you wait to feel, but something you build through action, obedience, and renewed thinking. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, insecurity, or the fear of not measuring up, this episode will help you reset your identity and step into a more grounded, bold, and resilient faith.Links: Visit Charles’s Website: https://charlesmetcalf.com/ Pick Up Your Copy of God Chose Me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593603184?tag= Find Out More About Transformation Church: https://transformchurch.us/ Wanting to Grow Your Confidence?

  Tony Dungy: Forged Through the Fire - The Making of an Uncommon Leader, Ep. 300 05.05.2026 48min

  What does it take to become an uncommon man? In this powerful live conversation from the Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend, Dr. Zach Clinton and Tanner Morgan sit down with Super Bowl-winning and Hall of Fame NFL Football Coach, Tony Dungy, to talk about leadership, faith, adversity, and the kind of character that is forged through life’s hardest moments. Coach Dungy’s story is one of discipline, humility, and perseverance. Raised in a home grounded in faith, education, and integrity, his journey took him from playing quarterback at the University of Minnesota to navigating position changes in the NFL, and eventually stepping into a calling as a coach and leader of men. But this conversation goes far beyond football. Coach Dungy opens up about the realities of rejection…being told he would never become a head coach…and how what looked like setbacks were actually shaping his identity and strengthening his resolve. He shares why getting fired impacted him more than winning the Super Bowl, and how those moments became defining catalysts in his life. We also step into deeply personal territory as Coach reflects on the heartbreaking loss of his son, and how that season of suffering deepened his faith and dependence on God. Throughout this conversation, one theme rises above the rest: true leadership is forged in the fire. Coach Dungy challenges men to pursue something greater than success: to live lives marked by integrity, intentionality, faith, and uncommon influence. He shares what it means to lead well in your home, your workplace, and your community, and why your greatest platform is not your position, but your character. This is more than a conversation about leadership. It’s a call to become the kind of man who stands firm in adversity, leads with humility, and lives for something that lasts.

  Called Out of Our Comfort Zone: A Conversation with Edward Graham 29.04.2026 26min

  God likes to call us out of our comfort zone, but often we hesitate out of fear—we like the comfort and safety of the life we have known. But stepping out in faith is where true growth happens. Edward Graham, Chief Operating Officer at Samaritan’s Purse, shares what God has taught him in leadership, both in the military but also in ministry. Hear how you, too, can step out in faith and obedience to the Lord, in whatever He has for you. Resources:     •    Learn more about how you can get involved with Samaritan’s Purse domestically and internationally. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/nam/#volunteer-now https://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/dart/      •    Listen to “Suffering for Christ’s Sake” to hear stories of pastors who experienced intense persecution and how their faith sustained them.https://ontheground.samaritanspurse.org/podcast/suffering-for-christs-sake  Highlights: Edward shares stories from his time in the military, where he chose to trust the Lord and seek Him for wisdom. He reads a passage from James that he continually goes to when he needs to turn away from doubt and towards belief. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” – James 1:5-8, ESV Now more than ever, Samaritan’s Purse has an opportunity to love our neighbors that are hurting in the Middle East. Our staff stand ready, training and preparing so when famine comes or disaster hits and everyone else is running away, we can respond in Jesus’ Name. “God expects us—when He entrusts us with His widow’s mite or with His people—to take prudent risk, to go out and multiply in the Gospel.” – Edward Graham Edward talks about trials he has faced in his own life and how they shaped him and encouraged his walk with the Lord. The story in the Bible where Peter walks on water shows Edward that sometimes in life God is calling us to get out of the boat. Often in our Western culture, we strive for comfort and ease. But that is not what the life of a Christian looks like. “Let's get out of the boat. Let's be part of miracles. You’ve got to challenge yourself. You’ve got to put yourself out there sometimes, and maybe it's your church, maybe it's your family, maybe it's your job and career. Somewhere you're safe in the boat. What do you do to take that step and go walk on water and go be part of a miracle?” – Edward Graham None of what is going on in our world surprises God. Kristy and Edward remind listeners that in this world we will have trouble, but we can take heart because Jesus has overcome the world. Edward asks for prayer for our staff and volunteers serving amid disasters and conflicts across the globe and for new endeavors that the ministry is embarking on within its aviation and U.S. rebuild programs.

Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with rising Christian music artist, Anne Wilson, to talk about faith, grief, identity, and purpose. Anne’s journey began in the midst of unimaginable loss. After the unexpected death of her brother in 2017, she found herself navigating deep sorrow, but also encountering God in a profound way.

From her breakout song My Jesus to her latest music and tours, Anne has continued to point people to hope in Christ, even in life’s darkest moments. In this conversation, Anne opens up about what it looked like to worship through grief, how her faith was tested and strengthened in the valley, and how she has stayed grounded in her identity despite rapid success and growing influence. We also dive into the challenges of comparison and identity in today’s culture, the importance of discerning God’s voice in the midst of opportunity, and what it means to be a light for Christ in both faith-based and secular spaces. Anne’s story is a powerful reminder that God often does His deepest work in our hardest seasons, and that He can turn our pain into purpose for His glory.

  Jennie Allen: The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe, How to Find it, Fight it, & Live Free, Ep. 298 21.04.2026 44min

  What if the biggest thing holding you back… is something you don’t even realize you believe? In this powerful conversation, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton are joined by renowned speaker, Bible teacher, and bestselling author Jennie Allen, to talk about her newest book, The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe. Jennie challenges a reality most of us don’t often stop to consider: many of the struggles we face: fear, shame, insecurity, anxiety, etc. are rooted in lies we’ve unknowingly accepted as truth. And until those lies are exposed, we’ll keep circling the same patterns, the same frustrations, and the same sense of being stuck. Together, they unpack how these lies take root, how they quietly shape our identity, relationships, and even our view of God…and most importantly, how to break free. Jennie walks us through what she calls the enemy’s oldest strategy: deception. But this isn’t a conversation about fear, it’s about freedom. Because in Christ, we’ve already been given the authority to tear down those lies and replace them with truth. This episode isn’t about trying harder or modifying behavior. It’s about seeing clearly, thinking differently, and stepping into the freedom that’s already available to you. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same thoughts, the same struggles, or the same cycles, this conversation will help you identify what’s really going on beneath the surface… and how to finally break free.Links: Visit Jennie’s Website: https://www.jennieallen.com/ Pick Up a Copy of “The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe”: https://shorturl.at/TeC3l Check Out Some Free Worksheets & Book Club Kits from Jennie’s Website: https://www.jennieallen.com/freebies Believing the Lies?

  Washington Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Trusting God’s Timing and Why His Delays Are Not His Denials, Ep. 297 14.04.2026 35min

  In this powerful and personal conversation recorded live at the 2026 Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend, Dr. Zach Clinton and Ben Allison (CEO of the AACC) sit down with Washington Commanders wide receiver, Terry McLaurin, to talk about the journey behind the success which has been one marked by discipline, perseverance, faith, and identity. From growing up in Indianapolis to becoming “Mr. Football” in the state of Indiana, Terry’s path looked like one of early success. But what many don’t see is the season of waiting, humility, and development he walked through at Ohio State, where nothing was handed to him, and everything had to be earned. We talk about how those hidden years shaped his mindset, strengthened his faith, and prepared him for the NFL. Terry opens up about the power of discipline and daily habits, the role his parents played in shaping his character, and how setbacks, like being cut from a team, became fuel for growth instead of excuses. We also dive into deeper waters, discussing mental health and how God has consistently met Terry in the painful seasons of life. Most importantly, this conversation centers on identity. In a league where performance defines value, Terry shares how his relationship with Christ has grounded him in a deeper truth: your worth is not found in what you do, but in who you are in Him. Whether you're an athlete, leader, or someone navigating your own season of waiting, this episode will challenge and encourage you to stay faithful, stay disciplined, and trust God in the process.Links:Find Out More About Terry: https://www.commanders.com/team/players-roster/terry-mclaurin/ Follow Terry on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/terry_25/ Purchase Your Washington Commanders Season Tickets: https://www.commanders.com/tickets/season-tickets/ Wrestling in the Waiting?

  Bradley Geary: Built for Battle - What SEAL Team 6 Teaches About Leadership, Identity, & Faith, Ep. 296 07.04.2026 50min

  In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton sit down with Bradley Geary - former Tactical Troop Commander for SEAL Team 6 and Commanding Officer of BUD/S - to unpack what it truly means to lead, endure, and find your identity beyond performance. Brad shares hard-earned lessons from the battlefield and the training ground, offering a rare look into the mindset required to operate at the highest level of discipline, resilience, and sacrifice. But more than that, this conversation goes beyond elite performance as it gets to the heart of who we are. They talk about the power of brotherhood and team, why isolation is one of the most dangerous places a person can live, and how true leadership is rooted in selflessness, not status. Bradley also opens up about the dark realities of combat, the emotional and spiritual weight it carries, and why those experiences, while costly, can also shape purpose and perspective. Perhaps most compelling is the growing movement of revival happening within the SEAL teams, and how many are beginning to wrestle with a deeper truth: your identity is not found in what you do, but in who God says you are. This episode is for leaders, competitors, and anyone striving for excellence, while trying to stay grounded in what matters most.   Links:Find Out More About Brad Geary: www.thekeynoteagency.comWatch Brad on The Shawn Ryan Show: youtube.com/watch?v=qm947uFzrJw Watch Brad on The Resilient Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79dPkX02Xow Follow Brad on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/bradleyandamy/ Paralyzed by Pressure?

  Pastor Travis Johnson: Unembarrassed of Jesus - Follow From a Distance and Lose Your Faith; Follow Closely and Change the World, Ep. 295 31.03.2026 29min

  In this special Easter episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Travis Johnson to discuss his powerful new book (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: Follow From a Distance and Lose Your Faith; Follow Closely and Change the World. Travis challenges the quiet tension many Christians feel today where we are close enough to say we believe in Jesus, yet distant enough to avoid the cultural backlash that can come with truly following Him. Through the powerful story of Peter’s journey from denial to bold proclamation, we explore how spiritual distance slowly erodes faith while nearness to Christ produces courage, conviction, and transformation. Travis shares why this message is so urgent for the Church today and how ordinary believers can move from comfortable cultural Christianity to courageous, world-changing faith. This conversation is a timely Easter reminder that the resurrection doesn’t just invite belief…it calls us to follow Jesus boldly and without embarrassment.   Link:Find Out More About Pastor Travis Johnson: https://www.pastortravisjohnson.com/ Find Out More About Pathway Church: https://pathwaychurch.us/ Purchase Your Copy of (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: https://www.amazon.com/Embarrassed-Jesus-Follow-Distance-Closely/dp/1636415121 Get Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel through the AACC: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
