Grief, Loss, & Identity: Finding Your Purpose When Life Doesn’t Make Sense with Author & Nationally Recognized Inspirational Speaker, Dustin Rivenbark, Ep. 171

The Built Different Podcast with Zach Clinton

Grief is messy. So many have described the grieving process as steps that we go through, but in reality, grief takes time and a lot of work in order to navigate and maneuver one’s way through. However, one can experience simultaneous emotions such as gratitude in the midst of one’s grief. Today, we have a very special guest who can speak to the depth of pain and suffering following loss. Seldom in life do you get the chance to meet someone who has a powerful story of overcoming fear, adversity, and tragedy. Even less frequent do you meet someone who can deliver that message with life changing impact. Our guest today, Dustin Rivenbark, is a determined inspirational speaker who is taking his passion for motivating the leaders of today, using stories of inspiration and unwavering faith. Dustin is a keynote speaker for the National Beta Association in which he speaks to thousands of teenagers and future leaders of America on the topic of "Leadership" each year. He speaks to educators and students across the country and has been a part of National Conferences put on by Georgia Southern University as well as Clemson University. Dustin is determined to make a difference in this world, leading community outreach, working in schools and detention centers across the country and has even been recruited to lead his "Path2Purpose" program at Rikers Island prison in New York City. He will stop at nothing to leave "no stone unturned" in lighting a fire within the hearts of men and creating change on this planet. We pray that this conversation would remind you of three things: God loves you, He is for you, and His consistency never fails!
