What happens when loving something good turns into hating people who threaten it?

In this episode, Brant reads a powerful email from a Marine veteran who wrestled with what it meant to love his enemies in the middle of war. It sparks a deeper conversation about anger, idolatry, justice, patriotism, and how even good things can become destructive when they take God's place in our hearts.

Brant also explores why evil almost never sees itself as evil, how grievance can transform people, and why praying for enemies changes us just as much as it changes the people we pray for.

This is an honest, thoughtful look at forgiveness, reordered loves, and the kind of inner transformation Jesus actually invites us into.

How should followers of Jesus engage in politics, culture, and heated disagreements—without losing the heart of the Gospel?

In this episode, Brant tackles a big question: What does it look like to love your enemies in a world full of strong opinions and constant conflict? Drawing from real-life experiences, cultural observations, and Jesus' teachings, he walks through a practical framework for engaging others without mockery, hostility, or losing your footing.

What does it really look like to love your enemies when they have names, faces… and real power to hurt you?

In this episode, Brant shares a powerful real-life example of someone putting Jesus' words into practice—praying for people they deeply disagree with—and how that kind of prayer doesn't just change situations… it changes us.

He also tackles two tough realities:

• Being misunderstood (and why it's unavoidable)
• Whether forgiveness always means restoring a relationship

If you've ever struggled with anger, resentment, or what to do with difficult people in your life, this one gets very practical—and very honest.
