- 218Exchanging Worry for Worship: Holding Fast to Your Faith as an Anchor in the Midst of Anxiety with Pastor, Speaker, & Hope Dealer Grant Troutt, Ep. 218Philippians 4:6 reminds us to, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Now, this verse is not saying that you won’t worry, or even that worry is a sin. However, it’s a reminder to us that in our moments of worry, fear, and anxiety, we have the opportunity to substitute those things when we humbly and quickly present those very things before the Lord instead of dwelling on them. Because, when you turn your worry into worship, God will turn your battles into blessings. Joining us today to dive deeper into his own personal testimony and ways in which he has managed and overcome anxiety of his own is a dear friend and familiar face and voice on the podcast, Grant Troutt. Grant is a well known speaker, young adult pastor, and truly a dispensor of hope! And today he wants to remind you that in the midst of the challenge you may find yourself in today to continually pray for God to not deliver you until He has fully developed you!

- 219A Crown that Lasts: Understanding Your God-Given Worthy, Identity, and Purpose in the Midst of a Comparison Culture with Best-Selling Author, Speaker, & Former Miss Universe, Demi Leigh Tebow, Ep. 219On this earth, a crown is what separates victors from the rest of the competitors, but the goal of creating a life worth living is not to gain a trophy, get a prize, or keep the crown. However, when all we’re focused on is the prize and not the process, we find ourselves in a dangerous position quickly attaching our identities to our accomplishments. However, our lives are not meant to be about being number one or making our own names known. Therefore, while walking you through the journey of her evolving confidence—from basing her identity on temporary labels and her own efforts, to discovering the rock-solid security of anchoring her dreams in her Maker—today’s guest, Demi Leigh Tebow joins Zach & Dr. Tim Clinton to weave her story together with the insights she's learned along the way. Today’s conversation will show you how to relate to the discomfort, confusion, and doubt that arises when you base your confidence on external things; discover God-confidence when your plans take unexpected detours, know what do when planted in unknown territory, use your story to grow an eternal impact, and stay grounded in the truth of who you are in Christ. The purpose of our lives is to love and serve God and others. Demi shows how you can be encouraged to focus not just on your aspirations, but on your greater purpose and leave behind a footprint of significance, not just success.

- 221Working with Difficult People: Providing Empathy, Communicating Effectively, & Embracing Healthy Disagreement to See the Best in Others with Dynamic Speaker & Best-Selling Author, Ryan Leak, Ep. 221Who is the most complicated person you work with? You probably don’t have to think very hard to answer that question. You already know their name, their job title, their quirks, and their flaws. You have firsthand experience with the mental and emotional fallout they leave in their wake. You’ve seen the problems their complexity creates for everyone on their team. You wish you could fix them, solve them, ignore them, or teleport them to a parallel dimension. But you can’t. You have to work with them. (You could quit, but your next job will have a complicated person waiting for you there too.) That means you need effective strategies to collaborate with (nearly) anyone. Especially the picky, prickly, problematic ones. Drawing from his global consulting experience with teams and leaders from the glitz of sports and entertainment, to the number-crunching world of finance, to the meticulous realms of insurance, pharma, and manufacturing, today’s guest - a dynamic speaker and bestselling author, Ryan Leak, will provide you with proven strategies for seeing challenging individuals as human beings to understand rather than problems to solve, detoxing unrealistic expectations and getting comfortable with complicated, learning to communicate effectively in complex environments, embracing healthy disagreement as a tool to discover better solutions, and setting boundaries that let people into your world without letting them run your world. In the episode Ryan shares, “The process of learning to collaborate with difficult individuals is transformative—it’s a gateway to greater creativity, stronger teams, and increased productivity, because on the other side of complicated is the wonderful, wide-open world of effective collaboration and a workplace you love.” Ryan’s Website: https://www.ryanleak.com/ Pre-Order Ryan’s Book How to Work with Complicated People: https://www.amazon.com/How-Work-Complicated-People-Collaboration-ebook/dp/B0D7J86R16 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

- 223Finding the Power to Overcome: Standing Confident in the Hope, Promise, & Victory of the Gospel with Renowned Pastor, Elder, & Author, Matt Chandler, Ep. 223Are you ready to live with intention and adjust your mindset to be fully equipped to handle anything life throws at you?

He is also the Executive Chairman of the Acts 29 Network, a large church planting community that trains and equips church planters across the globe. In today’s conversation, Matt joins Zach & Josh to unpack his most recent book, The Overcomers which takes a chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation rather than a line-by-line deep dive, helping readers practically understand what God wants to say to us today through this extraordinary book written thousands of years ago. He also talks about how we should view current events, knowing that the writers of the New Testament understood themselves to be living in the “end times” or “last days.” Believers will be reminded that they are uniquely wired and uniquely placed in this moment in history as part of God’s big plan to push back darkness and to establish light. Christ has overcome, and in Him we, too, are the overcomers!

- 224Influencing Our Children For Good: The Heart Behind His New Show, ‘The Adventures of Iggy & Mr. Kirk’ with Renowned American Actor, Evangelist, and Author, Kirk Cameron, Ep. 224Today’s guest, Kirk Cameron, isn't trying to win a cultural war with loud slogans or viral outrage. Instead, the renowned actor, evangelist, author, and outspoken Christian is offering something quieter, but arguably more radical in today’s climate: a children’s television show filled with puppets, songs, and Bible-based lessons on identity, forgiveness, and courage. In today’s episode, Kirk will be diving into the heart and mission behind his newly released, “Iggy and Mr. Kirk” children’s television show, a live-action series featuring a cast of whimsical characters and stories aimed squarely at families hungry for “safe, meaningful screen time.” The inspiration for this show really came from the cry of parents wanting something that they can put their kids down in front of for 10 minutes or 20 minutes that’s not going to assault them, or even worse, pollute their minds with wrong ideas about God, their gender, or sexuality. Instead, this counter-cultural show is geared toward actually entertaining kids and igniting their imagination while building their character and encouraging family relationships. Trust us, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

- 225He Must Increase, But I Must Decrease: Developing the Humility to Deflect the Glory with Former College Football Superstar & Upcoming NFL Draft Pick, Riley Leonard, Ep. 225Joining us today on the podcast from a conversation Zach was able to have with our guest at the most recent Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend is Former Duke and Notre Dame star Quarterback, Riley Leonard. In and throughout this conversation, Riley shares authentically about his upbringing, collegiate career, and journey of faith. Yes, he’s accumulated countless accolades throughout his career, but what Riley appreciates and values more than anything else are the opportunities the Lord has blessed him with to express his faith, particularly during interviews and after games, thanking the Lord win, lose, or draw and always deflecting the honor, glory, and praise to the Only One worthy of those things. This is a clarion call and challenge to each and every one of us to continually grow in our humility as we seek to serve those around us no matter the vocation we have been called to. Our hope and prayer is that you would join us in praying for Riley and all that God will continue to do in and through his life and leadership.

- 226If I've Got Jesus: When We Don't Know What To Do, We Do Know Where To Turn with Ben Fuller, Ep. 226Music has taken Ben Fuller’s life and made it into something he never would have dreamed. Growing up in Southern Vermont on his family dairy farm, he learned about hard work and a passion he saw first-hand from his father. He started singing at a young age to pass the time in the fields and on the farm. The singing never stopped and somewhere between the farm and college, he picked up a guitar and played all those country covers he learned as a boy. Realizing, he had a voice, his friends urged him to move to Nashville to pursue a career in country music. For over a year, he had friends and family pushing him to pack up his things and go. What no one knew is that Ben had a secret addiction to drugs and alcohol and had been abusing for over 12 years. In 2015, Ben was involved in a drug-fueled relationship which led him to understand better, the other side of the disease. In addition, in 2017, he abruptly lost his best friend to a drug overdose and his entire outlook on life shifted. Motivated to change, in 2018 he finally moved to Nashville still having country music in his head with the notion he just had to “make it” in country music. Little did he know his music would change drastically after a family invited him to church for the first time. Falling face first into God, he began writing new music noticing his lyrics started taking on new meaning. His new-found relationship with Jesus led him to begin writing with a burning desire to share the love of God and tell the world his redemption story. Now completely sober, he longs to help individuals who struggle with addiction and are looking for something more in which to fill their empty souls. Today, his heart continues to fill with stories of loss, hope and love as he travels across our country to sing his story as well as the stories of those who can no longer.

- 227How Remembrance Can Fuel Resilience: Trusting the One with the Perfect Track Record, with NFL Veteran Quarterback, Kirk Cousins, Ep. 227If there is one word that sums up Kirk Cousins, it’s CONSISTENCY. On the field, Kirk is one of the most efficient passers in NFL history, tallying 42,979 passing yards and 288 touchdowns leaving him 6th all-time in completion % for QBs with at least 1,500 pass attempts and 11th in the NFL’s all-time regular-season career passer rating. However, the most impressive thing in our eyes is that no matter what result Kirk experiences on the field, he consistently displays his devotion to both his faith and his family. Yes, he’s an NFL veteran QB, but more importantly he’s a man on a mission to share the good news of the gospel and to be a beacon of hope, light, and love to a dark and hurting world. Tune in to today’s conversation as Zach and Kirk unpack the last several years of Kirk’s journey, specifically this last year and what it’s like to once again be faced with the challenge of the unknown. As Kirk mentions, “I may not know what the future holds, but I do know WHO holds my future.” Be inspired today to hear how sometimes looking back can be the best way to move forward as it’s the practice of remembrance that often fuels our level of confidence and resilience for the road ahead!

- 229The Empty Tomb Changes Everything: How Christ Defeated Death to Offer You Eternal Life with Senior Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church & Chancelor of Liberty University, Jonathan Falwell, Ep. 229Many think of Easter as the day with eggs, bunnies, and chocolate candies, but in reality this day commemorates a day that changed everything! For this is a day where the tomb was found empty that now over 2 billion people around the world come together to reflect on, remember, and celebrate a Risen Savior, the Risen Christ! 1 Peter 1:3 says, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." You see, the resurrection is the pillar and the foundation of our faith!! A day that reminds us, not only did Christ defeat sin by paying the ultimate sacrifice for our sins through a substitutionary death on the cross, but then by rising again 3 days later He defeated death, providing each and every one of us the opportunity to spend eternal life with HIM. By rising from the dead, Jesus Christ demonstrated that He had cleansed the guilt of our past and is able to help and walk alongside of us in our present. His resurrection provides us with an ever-present HOPE assuring us that our future is safe and secure. You see, the empty tomb is proof of Christ's deity, and it guarantees the future resurrection of His believers, those who have been saved. Romans 10:9 says, that “If you declare with your mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved! However, many remain puzzled and confused asking questions such as, “Why did Jesus have to die?” or “Why did He have to die in that way?” or even “How do we know that the tomb was empty?” or lastly “If the tomb really was empty, how then should we live our lives?” Thankfully today we have Senior Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church and Chancellor of Liberty University, Jonathan Falwell here to unpack all of these questions as he so elequently simplifies the good news of the gospel for us all to understand! Remember, Easter is not simply a moment or a part of history – Easter is the meaning and the point of history… Easter isn’t just about one day – the message of Easter is a lifestyle that we can live with every moment of every day! Happy Easter!

- 231The Heart of Worship: Cultivating a Grateful Heart & Trusting God’s Faithfulness with Renowned Singer, Songwriter, & Worship Leader, Mack Brock, Ep. 231What does it truly mean to worship God? Worship in its purest form has simply been described as reverence and adoration for the Lord. One can actually be going through one of the most difficult times or seasons of their life, but still, come to God in reverence and adoration for WHO He is. Therefore, the worship we ought to bring should not be dependent on whether or not we’ve had a bad day or a bad life journey thus far. We are called to come to Him as we are, in our brokenness – with our “broken hallelujahs”. Joining us today to take a deeper dive into how we can experience the presence of God through the power of worship is one of the most well-known and renowned musicians and worship leaders of our day, Mack Brock! Mack has written and sang countless number 1 songs that so many of us play over the loud speakers of our cars and sing during Church! But today Mack discusses with us how worship has carried him through some of the most difficult times and seasons of his own personal life. Yes, worship is more than just a song. Our prayer is that that no matter what you may be going through, that after listening to this episode you would begin developing a heart postered toward worship for the days ahead.

- 235You Already Have the Key: How God Often Reveals Who We Are by Reminding Us of Who He Is with Paul Daugherty, Ep. 235Depression, anxiety, and emotional trauma are on the rise, even more so after the painful few years we’ve all been through. While the church has had an unfortunate track record of glossing over mental health issues, Paul Daugherty, pastor of the megachurch Victory and today’s guest on the podcast, believes it’s time for the church to break its silence. You can’t just pray trauma away. Depression and anxiety can affect even the most devoted believer. Therefore, in today’s conversation, Paul sits down with hosts, Zach & Josh, to share his own story of walking through anxiety and depression, helping others understand how frightening and debilitating mental health struggles can be, and talking vulnerably about the highs and lows of his healing journey. He also describes some of the biggest mental and emotional health issues he has seen people in his life and his congregation facing, including depression, anxiety, insecurity, mood swings, and the scars of trauma. Daugherty dives into scripture and lays a framework for understanding the spiritual truths behind each mental battle, and offers practical tips and strategies to help readers discover the door out of depression and into mental and emotional victory.

- 236The Courage to Face It: A Journey of Healing & Vulnerability Through Embracing the Past with Carl Lentz, Ep. 236Today’s episode is different. It’s raw. It’s real. And honestly — it’s probably one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve ever had on this show. Because our guest is Carl Lentz. Maybe you’ve already formed opinions. Maybe the first thing that comes to mind is scandal, failure, or church hurt. I get that. But what you’ll hear today isn’t a defense. It’s not image rehab. It’s not hype or spin. It’s a man who hit rock bottom — spiritually, emotionally, relationally — and lived to tell the story. Carl doesn’t sugarcoat the pain. He talks about the darkness that followed his fall. The shame. The wreckage. The long, hard work of rebuilding not a brand, but a soul. And not on a stage — but in the quiet, often brutal daily battle of showing up and doing the next right thing. He talks about godly sorrow, not just regret. About reverence, not image. About waking up every day and saying, “I can’t change the past, but I can let God change me.” You’ll hear about marriage, redemption, identity, fatherhood, faith, and the fight to become someone new when the old you has already burned to the ground. So if you’ve ever thought failure disqualifies you from the love of God, that it’s too late, too far gone, to broken to find your way back home – I want you to lean in. Because this isn’t a comeback story. This is a resurrection story. And our hope and prayer is that you would be reminded in and through this episode that you could never outsin God’s grace or outrun His love! If you've ever felt like your past disqualifies you, or that your darkest day is the end of your story, I pray this episode shows you otherwise. Because again, this conversation isn’t about cleaning up your image. It’s about owning your story — and letting God do something redemptive with even the most broken pieces.

- 237Recovering From Betrayal: Understanding Boundaries, the Process of Forgiveness, & Learning to Trust Again with President & Chief Visionary Officer of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Renowned Speaker, and Best-Selling Author, Lysa TerKeurst, Ep. 237In the words of today’s guest, none other than President & Chief Visionary Officer of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Renowned Speaker, & Best-Selling Author, Lysa Terkeurst, “The last several years have been the hardest of my life. I know the depths of marital heartbreak, and what it feels like to wrestle through healing. I also know what it feels like to be diagnosed with cancer and to wonder why God would allow so much heartbreak. My pillow has seen its fair share of tears. But I’ve also seen God move in astounding ways… not always the ways I thought He would, but I guess that’s why we are called to follow Him with faith. And at the end of each day, that’s what you’ll find me doing — going to bed while saying thankful prayers for ways I once again experienced God’s faithfulness that day, big and small. I wish with every fiber of my heart that I could erase parts of my story. But staying stuck in trying to wish something away will cause me to miss the beauty of what is… and even better… trusting God for what can be.” We hope and pray that today’s conversation would help you navigate the pain of betrayal while clinging to the hope of the gospel. Although not easy - forgiveness, boundaries, and trust are skills that can be learned and developed again!

- 238From Suicide to Sanctified: Lessons Learned from the Day He Didn’t Die with Chief Operating Officer of Recovery Alive, Casey Temple, Ep. 238I’ve heard it said that for people who are suicidal, it isn’t that they hate life, it’s that they hate life the way that it is. It’s not even about wanting to end their life, it’s about wanting to end their pain. But sadly, so many find themselves slipping to the point of brokenness where it seems so difficult or at times impossible to see an opportunity for change or a brighter tomorrow. Today’s guest has a similar story of wanting the pain to stop in his own life! After a difficult upbringing and some challenging moments in his own personal life, Casey Temple, found himself pulling the trigger with every intention of ending his life. BUT GOD had different plans! Rather escaping the pain, Jesus brought him purpose, hope, and healing in the midst of it! Through Recovery Alive, a revolutionary church-based response to human brokenness, rooted in the power, people, and process of the Christ-centered 12 steps, Casey found the freedom he always longed for! Now getting to serve as the Chief Operating Officer of Recovery Alive, Casey can say with complete confidence that God has radically transformed his life, addictions, and testimony. We are excited to share his journey with you, with the hope that it will be a steadfast reminder to you that it is NEVER too late, and there is ALWAYS hope!

- 239Blindsided: How to Forgive What You Never Saw Coming with Founder and Executive Director of the Emotional Recovery Clinic, Keisha Wright, Ep. 239Keisha Wright is a professional life coach from the Sunshine State of Florida, who like many others, spent her early years doing what she was “supposed” to do. She went to school, became a teacher, wife, and mother, and her life was seemingly normal, until it wasn’t. She went from working in the school system to raising a family and then, all of a sudden, she was faced with tragedy she didn’t know how to deal with. She then found herself in counseling and was told it was going to take 3-5 years to fully recover from her trauma. That’s when something within her changed. She thought to herself, “I can’t hang on that long, there must be a better way”. And in that moment of desperation, she remembers telling God “if you can get me out of this, I will dedicate the rest of my life to teaching others how to do the same.” That’s when she was blessed with meeting a woman who offered to help her overcome her trauma. Throughout her healing journey this friend/coach taught Keisha the way forward and as she began doing the work, she ended up developing the foundations of the Emotional Recovery Clinic. Once healed, Keisha spent the next 12 years volunteering her time to help others recover, as well as establish her own practice, Women’s Recovery Clinic. She spent her time traveling across the country teaching both women and men how to heal their trauma. Now, Keisha continues to uphold that same vision and mission as she jumps into life with others when their going gets tough and everything seems to be falling apart. Like her friend/coach did for her, she walks this journey of recovery with people until it becomes their new normal. Her purpose is clear: to teach you the way out, as none of us are born knowing how to put our lives back together.

- 240The Art of Encouragement: How to Lead Teams, Spread Love, and Serve from the Heart with USA Today Bestselling Author, Renowned Performance Coach, and Keynote Speaker, Jordan Montgomery, Ep. 240There’s no question that loneliness has become a global epidemic and is now being recognized as the invisible illness of our day and age. And the sad reality is that it’s always the undiagnosed illnesses that are the most dangerous and deadly. Dr. Mark Mayfield defines loneliness as: “The state of being unseen or unnoticed—relationally, emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. It’s marked by a deep sense of hopelessness.” And loneliness is more than just a feeling. It’s a disease pathway, meaning as loneliness increases, so do levels of anxiety, depression, substance use, and even suicide risk. According to a Cigna survey of over 20,000 adults: 54% felt no one truly knew them, 43% said their relationships didn’t feel meaningful, and 36% said they didn’t feel like they had anyone to turn to. Again, that’s not just concerning—it’s a crisis. Because no matter who you are, where you're from, or what you've been through, you were designed to be connected. For this reason as we are nearing the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, we are bringing on a very special guest who is an expert in human connection and leadership - Jordan Montgomery. Jordan is a USA Today bestselling author, renowned performance coach, and keynote speaker, trusted by elite business executives, sales teams, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs. Known for his dynamic presence and transformative insights, Jordan has shared the stage with countless luminaries such as Jon Gordon, John Maxwell, Angela Duckworth, and many others. Additionally, he and his wife, Ashley, lead Montgomery Companies, a powerhouse team of nationally recognized speakers and coaches. Whether in the boardroom or on the sports field, their team excels at helping leaders and teams reach peak performance. Their impressive client roster includes Fortune 500 companies like John Deere, Northwestern Mutual, and Principal Financial, as well as elite athletes, Olympians, and Super Bowl champions. In today’s conversation we will be discussing his most recent book, The Art of Encouragement, in order to help you more effectively lead with, serve, connect, and spread love with those you interact with.
