In this special backstage episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded live from the AACC 2025 United World Conference in Nashville, TN, Dr. Zach Clinton and Joshua Broome sit down with best-selling author and renowned global minister John Bevere for a powerful and prophetic conversation. In today’s conversation John brings a timely word to the Church, addressing the spiritual realities shaping our culture and calling believers to stand firm in this critical hour. The conversation dives into: the divided culture we find ourselves in and how the enemy uses offense and division to disarm believers; exposing how distraction and compromise weaken the Church; a stirring challenge for men to rise up as spiritual leaders in their homes and communities; exploring Ephesians 2:10 and how every believer has God-given gifts to fulfill their divine purpose; why it’s time for the Church to prepare for the return of Christ with urgency and purity; how one of the most important things in life may not be what you do but who you raise and the legacy you leave behind; and a final word of hope, encouragement, and motivation for leaders to live boldly and intentionally in this cultural moment. This episode will stir your spirit, sharpen your focus, and strengthen your resolve to live faithfully and courageously in the days ahead.Mentioned in this episode:Find Out More About John: https://johnbevere.com/Pick up a Copy of one of John’s best-selling Books: https://store.messengerinternational.org/collections/books-by-john-bevere?__hstc=200411057.a8e2129780919694fa9b8c08bca59855.1761337852882.1761337852882.1761337852882.1&__hssc=200411057.1.1761337852882&__hsfp=1542494017Find Out More About Messenger International: https://messengerinternational.org/Subscribe to John’s YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@johnbeveretv?si=GtPelJKWlNjweTsAStruggling with Purpose, Anxiety, Addiction, etc.?

Finding Courage When You Feel Discouraged: Standing Strong in Changing Times, Ep. 265
In this powerful episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded backstage at the Refuel Conference at Thomas Road Baptist Church, Dr. Zach Clinton and cohost Joshua Broome sit down with Pastor Gary Hamrick — Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia. Gary has faithfully led Cornerstone from a small group of believers to a thriving congregation of thousands. His ministry sits at a unique cultural crossroads, just outside Washington, D.C., giving him a front-row seat to the intersection of faith, culture, and government. Over the years, Gary has become a trusted voice on religious liberty, biblical truth, and courageous leadership in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. In this conversation, Gary shares his heart for revival and renewal, unpacking why gatherings like Refuel are vital for weary ministry leaders. He offers insight into what he’s seeing in the flock — from mental health struggles and spiritual discouragement to growing cultural hostility toward Christianity — and provides deeply biblical encouragement for overcoming discouragement in ministry through Psalm 42. His voice is both a pastoral encouragement and a prophetic challenge for the Church to rise with courage and conviction in this cultural moment.
