Living Unoffended Podcast

 Brant explores the radical idea of forgiving people ahead of time — not reactively, but as a settled posture for living like Jesus. He shares stories, angry emails, misunderstandings about gas-joke theology, and the ways pre-decided forgiveness frees us from being controlled by other people's behavior. From questioning our anger to remembering the limits of what we know, this episode offers real, practical steps toward becoming unoffendable on purpose

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.
