The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton

What defines a life well lived? On this episode of the Built Different 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.Links: Find Out More About Tim: https://timtebow.com/ Find Out More About the Tim Tebow Foundation: https://timtebowfoundation.org/ Purchase Tim’s Newest Book, If the Tree Could Speak, Here: timtebow.com/tree Purchase Tim’s Book, Look Again, Here: https://shorturl.at/JFL2B Follow Tim on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/timtebow/ Find Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Counseling or Coaching Today: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
