The Built Different Podcast-Are You Really Okay? with Licensed Professional Counselor & Author, Debra Fileta, Ep. 029

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. If you’re walking through pain, feeling stuck, or tempted to check out, this episode will meet you there… and call you forward.

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.

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

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. If you’ve been walking through a hard season, feeling stuck, or tempted to check out, this episode will challenge you to re-engage, reframe your adversity, and rediscover your purpose.
