Living Unoffended Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, Brant talks about a struggle many people quietly carry: regret. When we look back at things we've done—years ago or recently—it can feel impossible to move forward. But if God has already offered forgiveness, why do we keep holding on to guilt?

Brant explores what Scripture says about condemnation, why guilt should lead us back to the cross—not keep us trapped in shame—and how accepting God's forgiveness helps us move forward instead of getting stuck in the past.

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is ourselves. But if the cross was enough for God, it can be enough for us too.

What comes out of you when you don't get your way?

In this episode, Brant reads a powerful essay built around an African proverb and Jesus' teaching about trees and fruit. If you want to know what kind of tree you're dealing with, don't listen to what it says — look at it's fruit. Bump into the tree and see what falls.

From viral meltdowns to personal moments of sarcasm and pride, Brant talks about our habit of defending our own goodness — and the freedom that comes when we stop pretending. Because when something ugly spills out, we can't say, "That's not me." It is.

But change is possible. Abiding with Christ reshapes us over time, so that when we're bumped, what falls is patience, forgiveness, and love instead of toxicity.

In this special New Year's episode, Brant takes a fresh look at one of Jesus' most misunderstood teachings: going the second mile. Far from being about hustle or people-pleasing, this idea is actually about freedom — freedom from bitterness, resentment, and letting others control your reactions.

Episode four kicks off with a question: If a pill could reduce anxiety, boost joy, help relationships, calm anger, improve sleep, and make us kinder humans — would we take it?
Well, achieving those results are totally possible and we can get that right now through gratitude. This one's about choosing thankfulness over outrage, practicing it like a habit, and learning the actual art of living—not someday, but today.

This episode unpacks the "burning coals on their head" Bible verse and why it's actually about generosity, not revenge. Then Brant explains why WWJD often shows up too late — and how practicing forgiveness, patience, and prayer ahead of time is what helps us respond like Jesus without thinking. This episode is all about training our reflexes toward grace — not by trying harder, but by becoming different people entirely.

Brant walks through what it actually looks like to pray for your enemies—not theoretically, not poetically, but in real life with traffic cut-offs, elevated heart rates, and Jesus telling us to bless the people we'd rather curse. Practical, simple, and surprisingly freeing.

In this first episode, Brant admits this won't be perfect—just honest—and walks us through Jesus' story of the unforgiving servant, reminding us that the grace we withhold from others becomes the very limit placed on us. It's one part math problem, one part soul-check, and all about learning to actually live like Jesus—with forgiveness bigger than $3 billion.

In this episode, Brant shares part of a conversation with Marty Solomon (host of the BEMA Podcast and author of The Gospel of Being Human) about what may be the most overlooked command of Jesus.

If loving our enemies was once the defining mark of early Christians, why does it feel almost niche now? This conversation wrestles with a big question: How did something so central to Jesus' teaching become so rarely discussed in churches today?

In this episode, Brant walks through Colossians 3 and highlights a simple but often overlooked truth: no one is going to do your spiritual formation for you.

"Clothe yourselves… rid yourselves… set your minds…" — these are decisions we have to make. Grace isn't opposed to effort; it's opposed to earning. If we want to become people marked by compassion, humility, gentleness, and peace, we have to actively put off anger and malice and put on Christlike character.

Brant also shares insights from a fascinating study of those who sheltered Jewish families during the Holocaust, revealing that deep spiritual habits formed long before crisis were what shaped courageous responses later.

If we want to respond well when pressure comes, the work starts now.

What does it really mean to root for your enemies?

In this episode of Living Unoffended, Brant talks about willing God's best for everyone—even people you strongly disagree with or who've hurt you. Forgiveness doesn't mean approving of evil or ignoring consequences. Justice still matters. But beneath it all, are we actually for people?

Through a personal story and practical insight, Brant explores how choosing a posture of peace reshapes our tone, our presence, and our hearts.
