The Brant Hansen Show - Not Enough Focus on God
We keep talking about how to be like Jesus, but we kinda forget how that works. It could be because there's not enough focus on God on our side. He's the one we can run to, yet sometimes we just don't run to Him. Obviously, we all love Him, but we're not actively studying Him as an apprentice or disciple of God; not ta...

The Brant Hansen Show - God Actually Loves You
Some people take a while to discover that God actually loves you. Have you heard many stories about how God loves you but they don't really put too much thought into it? It's because we don't put too much thought into it that we don't realize that God actually loves us. If you think about it, that's pretty amazing. Che...

The Brant Hansen Show - Denial of Needing Healing
It's interesting how sometimes we're in denial of needing healing. They say that God doesn't come for people who are healthy, but sometimes He does. At least in the sense that we feel like we don't need healing, but deep down, there's something going on with us. You know when people say "I'm fine" when they'r...

The Brant Hansen Show - Stories Start with Moving Out
Have you ever noticed that a lot of great Bible stories start with moving out? A character in the Bible moves out of their home or their city or whatever to go on a mission that God entrusted them with. The idea behind these stories is that they put themselves in a position to where they need to trust God. You may not ...

The Brant Hansen Show - How Wrong Humans Can Be
Isn't it amazing how wrong humans can be? Remember when people were wrong about what Jesus was about to do? They expected him to live a long life, but then Jesus willingly gave up his life to die for our sins even after learning about them. Humans can be wrong about so many things.

The Brant Hansen Show - Softening Your Heart
Do you ever feel like you really want to hold onto your anger? It's something that we all want to do, but it's not healthy at all. It's better to start softening your heart than hardening your anger.

The Brant Hansen Show - He Will Sort it Out

The Brant Hansen Show - Trustworthy Looking Person
It's interesting what makes a trustworthy looking person in our eyes.

It's funny how that works. Check out The Brant Hansen Show during weekday m...

The Brant Hansen Show - Different From God
We're different from God; apparently, that's what He wants. It's probably because He wants us to be more similar to people we can be curious with. God knows the answers to all the questions that we don't, but that's okay, because we don't have to fit in with God, specifically, and it's better to fit with the people aro...

The Brant Hansen Show - Three Things that Jesus Isn't
Today on Brant's Three Things we will be looking at three things that Jesus isn't. Jesus isn't a reformer, Jesus isn't a schmoozer, and Jesus isn't a power guy.

The Brant Hansen Show - God Requires Three Things
It's amazing how God requires three things from us. Those being to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Him. Other than that, there are many things not required from God.

The Brant Hansen Show - Our Actual Desire
While God makes it so things don't go our way, have you ever thought that maybe it has more to do with it not being our actual desire? Sometimes we think that our heart wants this one thing or this other thing, but usually, our heart's either in the wrong place or we think it's somewhere different from where God has it...

The Brant Hansen Show - Athlete's Worldview
Did you know that, for a good portion of athletes, an athlete's worldview has God at the forefront, or at least very close to it? And did you also know that it's rarely highlighted in the big game?

The Brant Hansen Show - Point the Finger
We all like to point the finger at someone, or at least we want Jesus to point the finger at someone who did something bad. However, that's never been how Jesus handles other people.

Do you ever wake up and say that you're not feeling it? You don't feel faithful or you don't think you're that close to God? That's not as big of a problem as you might think.

The Brant Hansen Show - Ranks and Uniforms
Do you ever think about how ranks are determined by uniforms? An idea we have is to make listeners wear uniforms.

The Brant Hansen Show - Underrate What We Do
We tend to underrate what we do every year. When talking to another person and they ask what we do, we say it as if it's just another thing in our life, as if it's not a job we get paid to do, and as if we get no enjoyment from it. But if you think about it, during the story of Jesus, God had so many people to choose t...

We tell ourselves to avoid sin as if it's something we can do, but more often than not, it's impossible. People are always telling us to not sin, but no matter how hard we try, we end up sinning at some point. God is less concerned with our avoidance of sin and more concerned with our enjoyment of life. While we do nee...
