In this episode of The Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton is joined by his father, Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, for a conversation with actor, author, and outspoken advocate for faith and family, Kirk Cameron. Together they unpack the cultural battle underway for the hearts and minds of the next generation, from the messaging embedded in children's entertainment and education, to Kirk's own national library book tour and the pushback he encountered along the way. Kirk shares why he decided the church can't just complain about culture but must create something better, discussing his new family-centered television show built to give parents trustworthy, biblically grounded content. The conversation turns practical as Kirk and Dr. Clinton talk through the shift from a play-based to a phone-based childhood, what it actually looks like to rescue kids from a corrupted culture inside the home, and the two or three things children need most from their parents to develop real character, faith, and resilience. It's a candid, hope-filled charge to parents, grandparents, and mentors that culture may be loud, but a parent who speaks truth and shows up with intentionality remains one of the most powerful forces shaping the next generation. Kirk closes with what gives him hope for the families choosing to lead with courage in this moment.
