In today's bonus podcast, we sit down with Kathryn Wynkoop, a remarkable client of Bello Machre, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. Kathryn has been a resident for about 20 years and, as we learned, nothing stands in her way! Despite any disability, Kathryn holds down two jobs, loves her Bello Machre family, is active in her church, and is preparing for a long-awaited vacation! Did someone say disability? When you walk through the front door of Bello Machre, you will likely be greeted by Kathryn, who is a resident as well as an employee. When you walk in the front door of the Piup Moyer Rec Center in Annapolis on a Wednesday afternoon, Kathryn's smiling face will be there to offer a hearty hello! Because of the Bello Machre family, Kathryn's life is more rewarding and more fulfilling; and they have been doing it for our neighbors for more than 50 years! We also chat with Dr. Robert Ireland, the President and CEO of Bello Machre, about the changes he has seen in his time at the helm, and it is encouraging, despite more work to be done. We discuss the various programs available to residents and people with disabilities living at home throughout the State. And on June 13th, there is a great way to get to know the folks at Bello Machre with Every Step Counts, a fun walk/bike/skate-a-thon and party at AACC. Truly an incredible organization, and truly some inspiring people--I'm looking at you, Kathryn! Have a listen!

Hey Team! Today I'm sitting down with Ron Capalbo, known to many as @adhd_ron on the socials. I've gotten to know Ron at a number of ADHD conferences and had a great time at Neurodiversion talking with him about Dungeon Crawler Carl and figured it was time to have him on the pod. Ron is an AACC-certified coach through the ADD Coach Academy who specializes in strengths-based development and helping adults navigate the messy "shame cycle" that so often accompanies an ADHD diagnosis. He's spent years building a community focused on honoring unique brain chemistry rather than fighting a losing battle against it. In today's episode, we explore the "why" behind our perfectionism and how the fear of complacency often keeps us from being proud of our progress. Ron breaks down how to identify your brain's unique operating system, the value of the elevator pitch for self-confidence, and why hitting a seven when you started at a two is actually a massive win, even if your brain is trying to convince you it's a failure. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/297 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips Try out the 2-versus-9 scale for Expectation Management. We often fail to start because we set the entry-level bar at a 9 (like, cooking 7 nights a week), which can often feel impossible. If instead we intentionally lower our aim to something that's more like a 2, we bypass the brain's "frozen" state and create a low-friction path to initiation. All right, this is a long one, but it's worth it. Many of us with ADHD actively avoid giving ourselves credit because we've been conditioned to fear that if we're satisfied, it will lead to complacency. Mechanically, however, withholding credit creates a narrative vacuum in our operating system - our brain assumes it just didn't happen. It looks at everything left to do, decides we're failing, and triggers a total system freeze, what Ron calls a "cement wall". The fix here isn't forcing toxic positive affirmations your brain knows are fake. It just takes factual data entry. Take a second to acknowledge that you moved from a level one to a level two. You're not throwing yourself a parade; you're just hitting "Save" so your brain has the baseline level to keep moving forward without crashing. Setbacks are inevitable, but the duration of the setback is determined by your level of self-shame. Implementing a grace period or a mental hug isn't about being soft; it's a strategic tool to reduce the time spent in a frozen state and get back to baseline faster.  

In this episode of the AACC Podcast, our host, Izzy Koo, chats with Pastor Michael Lee of Encounter Church in Seattle, Washington. During the conversation, Pastor Michael highlights the stereotypes that often limit the perception of Asian leaders. While Asians are seen as responsible and capable, they are rarely viewed as primary leaders. This observation has fueled Michael's passion for creating spaces where Asian voices are not just included but celebrated. His commitment to a multi-ethnic church is a response to the need for diverse leadership that reflects the community's demographics.   Join us in our new series of conversations about the Next Generation and share it with a friend!

In this powerful and personal conversation recorded live at the 2026 Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend, Dr. Zach Clinton and Ben Allison (CEO of the AACC) sit down with Washington Commanders wide receiver, Terry McLaurin, to talk about the journey behind the success which has been one marked by discipline, perseverance, faith, and identity. From growing up in Indianapolis to becoming “Mr. Football” in the state of Indiana, Terry’s path looked like one of early success. But what many don’t see is the season of waiting, humility, and development he walked through at Ohio State, where nothing was handed to him, and everything had to be earned. We talk about how those hidden years shaped his mindset, strengthened his faith, and prepared him for the NFL. Terry opens up about the power of discipline and daily habits, the role his parents played in shaping his character, and how setbacks, like being cut from a team, became fuel for growth instead of excuses. We also dive into deeper waters, discussing mental health and how God has consistently met Terry in the painful seasons of life. Most importantly, this conversation centers on identity. In a league where performance defines value, Terry shares how his relationship with Christ has grounded him in a deeper truth: your worth is not found in what you do, but in who you are in Him. Whether you're an athlete, leader, or someone navigating your own season of waiting, this episode will challenge and encourage you to stay faithful, stay disciplined, and trust God in the process.Links:Find Out More About Terry: https://www.commanders.com/team/players-roster/terry-mclaurin/ Follow Terry on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/terry_25/ Purchase Your Washington Commanders Season Tickets: https://www.commanders.com/tickets/season-tickets/ Wrestling in the Waiting?

In this special Easter episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Travis Johnson to discuss his powerful new book (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: Follow From a Distance and Lose Your Faith; Follow Closely and Change the World. Travis challenges the quiet tension many Christians feel today where we are close enough to say we believe in Jesus, yet distant enough to avoid the cultural backlash that can come with truly following Him. Through the powerful story of Peter’s journey from denial to bold proclamation, we explore how spiritual distance slowly erodes faith while nearness to Christ produces courage, conviction, and transformation. Travis shares why this message is so urgent for the Church today and how ordinary believers can move from comfortable cultural Christianity to courageous, world-changing faith. This conversation is a timely Easter reminder that the resurrection doesn’t just invite belief…it calls us to follow Jesus boldly and without embarrassment.

In this conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Bishop Kelvin Cobaris to talk about what it means to lead with courage and hope in a time when our culture feels increasingly divided, angry, and uncertain. Bishop Cobaris reflects on why choosing to be a light in dark times often comes with a cost and how courageous leadership has a way of inspiring and strengthening others to stand as well. Together, we explore the power of forgiveness, the importance of pursuing unity in the midst of division, and how spiritual transformation begins when God changes us from the inside out.

It's painful and overwhelming when stress, hurt, or trauma triggers us emotionally and affects our well-being. Often this leads us to pull away — judging our emotions, hiding our needs, and distancing ourselves from others. Sadly this keeps us from the empathy we desperately need to heal and recover. Join us for this episode of Soul Talks for part two of a message Bill and Kristi shared at the American Association of Christian Counselors. You'll see how empathy — both from Jesus and his ambassadors — leads to healing and fosters healthy qualities such as forgiveness, satisfaction, and resilience. The lost parts of you can be found by the Good Shepherd as you become restored in his acceptance, love, and care.

In this episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with renowned psychiatrist and brain health expert Dr. Daniel Amen to discuss his Amen Whole 4 Plan, a powerful framework designed to address some of the most pressing challenges facing our nation today. Dr. Amen explains how true healing requires a holistic approach, focusing on four key areas of life: biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this model emphasizes caring for the whole person to bring lasting help, hope, and healing to individuals, families, and communities. Together, we explore how improving brain health can transform our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. If you’re looking for practical insights on how faith, science, and lifestyle choices intersect to produce lasting change, this conversation offers a hopeful roadmap forward.Links: Find Out More About Dr. Daniel Amen: https://danielamenmd.com/ Find Out More About Amen Clinics: https://www.amenclinics.com/ Take a Brain Mastery Course or Purchase One of Dr. Amen’s Bestselling Books: https://danielamenmd.com/programs-books/ Get Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel through the AACC: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Many of us grew up in an empathy desert and missed out on being seen, known, and loved. Sadly, a lack of being understood and accepted often unintentionally creates emotional distance in our churches, friendships, and even our relationship with God. We might fail to realize that we can't become more loving and healthy like Jesus without the grace of empathy. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks to listen to part one of a talk that Bill and Kristi shared at the American Association of Christian Counselors Conference. You'll see that empathy is more than just a listening skill — it's an expression of love that helps us cultivate the secure attachment necessary to persevere through trials and grow in Christlikeness. Resources for this Episode: The Bible studies, research, diagrams, and practices referenced in this episode can be found in our book Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You If you'd like Bill and Kristi to speak at your conference, event, or church, you can email contact@soulshepherding.org.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Russell Johnson of Pursuit Church in the Pacific Northwest to talk about the courage required to lead with conviction in a culture that often pressures pastors to stay quiet. Russell shares the personal and pastoral cost of boldly standing for biblical truth…from facing threats and criticism to navigating the weight of public leadership…while remaining anchored in the calling God placed on his life. Together we explore what it means to offer costly praise, declaring that God is good even when life is difficult, and why clarity from God often matters more than certainty about the outcome. Russell also unpacks the heart behind three promises he has made to his church: that it will be a safe place, that it will remain safe, and that it will never back down from the truth. This episode is a candid and encouraging reminder that while salvation is free, following Jesus will cost us everything, and that courage in the Kingdom always comes with a price, but it’s a price worth paying.Links: Find Out More About Pursuit Church: https://www.thepursuitnw.com/about Listen to Some of Pastor Russell’s Recent Sermons: https://www.thepursuitnw.com/#recent-messages Follow Russell on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/russellbjohnson/ Get Clinically Excellent, Distinctively Christian Care & Counsel through the AACC: https://christiancareconnect.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

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.

In this special backstage episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded at the AACC 2025 United World Conference, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with a dear friend, Lysa TerKeurst — bestselling author, speaker, and Founder & President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. With over 7,000 Christian counselors, coaches, clinicians, pastors, and ministry leaders gathered in Nashville from around the world, this year’s conference has been a powerful time of worship, equipping, and encouragement. In this deeply personal conversation, Lysa opens up about one of the most difficult chapters of her life: walking through an unwanted divorce. As her newest book, Surviving an Unwanted Divorce, prepares to release on November 11th, Lysa shares with honesty and biblical clarity how God met her in the middle of heartbreak. Together, Dr. Zach and Lysa talk through: the journey of trusting God in seasons you never expected, what it looked like for Lysa to lead Proverbs 31 Ministries while navigating private pain, how Scripture speaks to and protects women in the context of divorce, common phrases that can unintentionally hurt, and how to truly support someone walking through divorce, God’s heart for those in unwanted divorce, and the hope available for the next step forward. This conversation is both biblically rich and emotionally honest, offering practical guidance, spiritual truth, and hope for anyone walking through — or walking with someone through — the pain of unwanted divorce.

In today’s powerful and vulnerable conversation, Drs. Zach & Tim Clinton sit down with Joshua Broome to briefly unpack his incredible testimony which includes a journey from being one of the most recognizable faces in the adult film industry to finding true identity, healing, and purpose in Jesus Christ. Together they discuss the devastating effects of pornography and sexual compulsivity/addiction on individuals, relationships, and our culture at large. Joshua shares not only his story but also his passion to help others break free from the chains that once held him captive. This is why in today’s conversation they announce the launch of a brand-new initiative at the American Association of Christian Counselors titled: Walk Worthy. This is an initiative that Joshua will lead moving forward geared toward equipping the church and Christian counselors with resources, training, and discipleship strategies aimed at helping men and women pursue sexual purity, integrity, and deep spiritual formation. Pornography and sexual addiction aren’t fringe issues…they’re mainstream, widespread, and silently destroying countless lives. This conversation is a reminder that hope, healing, and holiness are possible through Christ, and that the church must be a safe, equipped place for those seeking freedom.

The brilliant Tracy Otsuka is back on the show for another rich conversation about why ADHD so often gets misdiagnosed (or completely missed) in women, how trauma can mimic or amplify ADHD symptoms, and what you can actually do to function and advocate for yourself if you're dealing with either (or both) during divorce. We also dig into the very real challenges of trying to function while your brain is in a constant state of overwhelm: whether that's from trauma, ADHD, or the mental chaos that comes when the lines between them blur. Tracy breaks down the importance of understanding how your brain is wired, why traditional systems so often fail neurodivergent women, and how to build supports that actually work for you. Whether you're navigating ADHD or the aftermath of trauma, reclaiming your own narrative isn't just important, it's necessary, especially if someone else is trying to write it for you. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: How ADHD presents differently in women than men and why so many of us go undiagnosed (3:23) The difference between a trauma state and ADHD and why knowing the distinction matters (10:15) What to do when your ADHD diagnosis is used against you by your partner or ex in a weaponized or manipulative way (22:10) How gender roles and stereotypes create additional shame and pressure for neurodivergent women (26:16) Tracy's brilliant tip for using ChatGPT as a digital support tool in divorce (30:58) Learn more about Tracy Otsuka: Tracy Otsuka, JD, LLM, AACC, ACC, is a certified ADHD coach and the host of the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast.

On this episode of the AACC Podcast, Ray Chang interviews Alice Matagora and discusses the journey of finding belonging and embracing her identity as an Asian American woman within white evangelical spaces. Alice emphasizes the need for communities that embrace and value the full expression of God's kingdom, where individuals can be their authentic selves. When faced with challenges as Asian American Christians in discipleship and leadership development, she emphasizes the importance of true belonging and being fully oneself, rather than fitting in and disowning parts of who we are.

Warning: This episode contains mature themes and is not suitable for young ears.In today's powerful & raw episode, we're joined by Josh Broome, a man whose life journey is nothing short of miraculous. From a childhood marked by fatherlessness and a desperate search for identity, to the dark spiral of the porn industry, to a radical transformation through the grace of Jesus Christ—Josh's story will leave you speechless, inspired, & filled with hope.Josh was born to a teenage mother and grew up without a consistent father figure, always feeling like he needed to prove his worth. After moving to LA to pursue acting, he was pulled into the porn industry after a single video destroyed his mainstream career. Over time, he starred in over 1,000 adult films, made over $1 million, and even won an award for Performer of the Year. Yet despite his “success,” he battled crippling depression, identity loss, and suicidal thoughts.In 2013, at his lowest moment, a simple conversation altered the course of his life. Josh walked away from porn, returned home, became a Christian, and slowly began rebuilding. In 2022, he graduated from Liberty University, and today he is the Executive Director of Walkworthy with the AACC, a husband of 9 years, a father of 4 boys, and a leading voice against pornography and for men's identity in Christ.In this episode, we don't dive deep into the explicit details of the porn industry—we focus on something far more important: what led him there and how grace brought him out. We explore the loss and recovery of identity, the restoration process through Jesus, and the truth about how pornography damages both those in it and those who consume it.
