When tragedy strikes, adults struggle to make sense of it, but for children, the confusion and pain can feel overwhelming. In this deeply moving episode, Annie F. Downs sits down with Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton to talk about the story behind her new children’s book, Where Did TJ Go?, written after her family experienced the heartbreaking loss of her nephew, TJ. Together, they explore what it means to grieve honestly, talk to children about death and heaven, and embrace the kind of compassion that “suffers with.” Annie shares powerful insights on how to navigate the messiness of grief, the healing power of presence, and the truth that while loss changes everything, the hope of eternity changes how we see it. Whether you’re a parent, pastor, counselor, or simply someone walking through loss, this episode offers space for your sorrow and points your heart toward the unshakable hope we have in Christ.

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.
