The Built Different Podcast-God’s Plan with Liberty University Starting QB, Malik Willis, Ep. 020

It’s game week for Liberty Football, but Mike Jarvis’ journey to this moment is a powerful reminder that some of the most important work happens long before the lights come on. In this conversation, Mike shares what feels different about this year’s team, why their word “STANDARD” has to become more than a slogan and instead shape the way you show up every single day, and what it means to write your own story rather than be defined by the past. We also go beyond football to talk about perseverance, identity, faith, vulnerability, and the setbacks and waiting seasons that shape us into who we’re meant to become. Mike challenges us to not waste the wait by recognizing that just because we can’t see the results yet doesn’t mean God isn’t doing something significant in us. From chasing a dream when the path doesn’t go according to plan to having the courage to ask for help when life gets heavy, this conversation is a reminder that dreams don’t quit, people do. So keep showing up, keep trusting, keep becoming, and make sure the standard you talk about becomes the standard you live.

Mike Jarvis: Dreams Don’t Quit, People Do - Perspective, Patience, Perseverance & the Power Forged Through Waiting, Ep. 317

What does it really take to become stronger, not just physically, but mentally, relationally, and spiritually? In this episode, we sit down with Liberty University Director of Athletic Performance for Football, Coach Chad Scott, for a conversation that goes far beyond the weight room. Coach Scott shares what he’s seeing inside Liberty Football as a new season approaches, why their word “Standard” has to become more than a slogan, and what separates talented people from those who actually maximize their potential. We unpack the power of discipline, shared suffering, player-led leadership, and why mastering the fundamentals of sleep, nutrition, hydration, and breathing can matter more than chasing the latest performance hack. But the conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Chad opens up about walking alongside his wife, Beth, through her battle with cancer and what that journey has taught him about strength, surrender, faith, and trusting God when the circumstances you desperately want to change are completely outside of your control. Whether you’re an athlete, leader, spouse, parent, or simply trying to become the person God has called you to be, this conversation will challenge you to raise your standard while redefining what it truly means to be strong.

Chad Scott: The Adversity Advantage - You Can’t Always Choose What Happens, But You Can Choose Who You Become, Ep. 316

In this powerful conversation, singer and songwriter Rhett Walker shares the story of a defining season in his life when everything seemed to be falling apart and how an unexpected encounter with grace changed the trajectory of his future. We talk about the difference between religion and the gospel, judgment and mercy, and what can happen when people choose to step into someone’s mess rather than stand at a distance and condemn it. Rhett’s story is a reminder that grace isn’t reserved for people who have it all together…it meets us in the places we’d rather hide. From failure and shame to redemption and purpose, this conversation points us back to the heart of the gospel and the incredible hope we have because of the Man on the middle cross.
