What makes radical forgiveness possible in the first place? This episode reflects on Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place and the remarkable trust that shaped her family long before they faced the horrors of the Holocaust. Brant shares stories of forgiveness, generosity, and faith under pressure, and explores how trusting God with our needs can loosen the grip of anger, fear, and scarcity. The more we trust that God will take care of us, the freer we become to extend grace—even to people who have hurt us.

Episode 37

If anger isn't supposed to be our default response to evil and injustice, what is? Brant explores another possibility: sorrow. Drawing from the way Jesus responded to a broken world, he looks at how sorrow can move us toward compassion, action, and love without trapping us in rage. He also reflects on the difference between simply knowing things about God and actually living in relationship with Him—and why trust in God's character is what lets us remain hopeful even when the world feels deeply broken.

Episode 36

What if the real danger isn't just anger—but contempt? Brant looks at why contempt is so destructive, especially among Christians, and why Jesus takes it so seriously. From social media insults to self-righteousness and shame, he explores how easily we can devalue people we disagree with—and why the goal isn't to become less passionate about truth, but to become more like Jesus in the way we handle disagreement.

Episode 38

What does it really mean to "believe" in Jesus? Brant looks at the Greek word often translated as belief or faith and argues that it points to something much deeper: trust—placing the full weight of our lives on Jesus. That kind of trust changes how we handle offense, justice, and even our enemies. He also shares a listener's story about a 13-year-old learning to pray for a bully, and reflects on how practicing the way of Jesus can slowly reshape our instincts, our character, and the way we see other people.
