Is there ever a good reason to hold on to anger?

Brant looks at several passages people use to defend the idea of "righteous anger" and asks whether that really fits with the broader teaching of Jesus. He also responds to a thoughtful listener question about loving enemies while still recognizing real evil, accountability, and justice—and why forgiveness does not mean pretending hurt isn't real or ignoring wrongdoing. Instead, it means trusting God with vengeance, refusing contempt, and choosing to remain for people even when they have done real harm.

What if the way we forgive others reveals something about how we understand God's forgiveness toward us?

Brant revisits Jesus' words about mercy, judgment, and forgiveness, including the parable of the servant who was forgiven an enormous debt but refused to extend that same grace to someone else. He explores the challenging idea that forgiveness is not just something we receive—it is also a way of life we are called to practice, shaping how we treat others and how we understand the mercy of God.

What kind of faith can shape a family for generations?

Recording from Corrie ten Boom's home in Haarlem, Brant reflects on the remarkable legacy of a family committed to prayer, hospitality, forgiveness, and loving their enemies. He looks at how that way of life helped prepare the ten Booms to shelter hundreds of Jewish people during World War II—and how the values we practice now can echo far beyond our own lifetime.
