Ep 217: Life is Hard. God is Good. Let’s Dance. w/Brant Hansen, Part 1
Okay, you guys, the show you are about to hear is Part 1 of my dream interview. If it all ended today, I’d die a happy podcast host. Brant Hansen is a best-selling author, award-winning syndicated radio host, podcast host of the Brant and Sherri Oddcast (my favorite podcast), advocate for children with correctable disabilities with CURE international, and he’s on the autism spectrum. I’m not exaggerating when I say that he’s informed my faith and my daily outlook on Jesus and peace more than anyone in the last 20 years. I’m so excited for you to hear my interview with Brant Hansen, Listen in.
We discuss:
- How it’s possible to be joyful and peaceful in a messed-up world.
- How working for CURE International has informed and solidified Brant’s faith and given him glimpses of the Kingdom of God at work today.
- How remaining hopeful when people are suffering is not naive or insensitive.
- Why we can remain faithful to Jesus even though church culture has let us down.
- Encouragement for the moms of young adults who are deconstructing their faith.
- Why “worry” is a form of control and what to do instead.
