In this episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with renowned psychiatrist and brain health expert Dr. Daniel Amen to discuss his Amen Whole 4 Plan, a powerful framework designed to address some of the most pressing challenges facing our nation today. Dr. Amen explains how true healing requires a holistic approach, focusing on four key areas of life: biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this model emphasizes caring for the whole person to bring lasting help, hope, and healing to individuals, families, and communities. Together, we explore how improving brain health can transform our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. If you’re looking for practical insights on how faith, science, and lifestyle choices intersect to produce lasting change, this conversation offers a hopeful roadmap forward.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Russell Johnson of Pursuit Church in the Pacific Northwest to talk about the courage required to lead with conviction in a culture that often pressures pastors to stay quiet. Russell shares the personal and pastoral cost of boldly standing for biblical truth…from facing threats and criticism to navigating the weight of public leadership…while remaining anchored in the calling God placed on his life. Together we explore what it means to offer costly praise, declaring that God is good even when life is difficult, and why clarity from God often matters more than certainty about the outcome. Russell also unpacks the heart behind three promises he has made to his church: that it will be a safe place, that it will remain safe, and that it will never back down from the truth. This episode is a candid and encouraging reminder that while salvation is free, following Jesus will cost us everything, and that courage in the Kingdom always comes with a price, but it’s a price worth paying.

On this episode of the Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with licensed therapist and educator Matthias Barker for a thoughtful and deeply practical conversation about estrangement, relational rupture, and the courage it takes to repair what’s broken. With more than four million followers across social platforms, Matthias has become a trusted voice in trauma-informed healing, helping people navigate romantic relationships, family disconnection, and the lingering impact of unresolved pain. Together, they unpack how ruptures happen in the first place, why distance often carries more complexity than blame, and how emotional maturity requires us to examine our own contribution to relational breakdown. This conversation doesn’t offer quick fixes or forced reconciliation. Instead, it explores how to find peace with what’s possible, whether that means rebuilding trust, setting healthier boundaries, or accepting that full restoration may not happen. Matthias shares insights from his work at Estrangement.com, offering practical tools for parents and adult children navigating long-term disconnection. If you’re carrying grief over a fractured relationship, longing for repair, or wrestling with guilt, anger, or confusion, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded path forward toward integrity and peace.
