Brant Hansen is from small-town Illinois, and is a self-professed nerd, diagnosed with Asperger's as an adult. He's a fan of C.S. Lewis and toast. "Producer Sherri", also a radio veteran, is from Pittsburgh, has one of the world's great laughs, and demonstrates incredible patience with Brant. Both are believers in Jesus, but have difficulty fitting in with modern American church culture. Together they have a daily radio show that is syndicated across the country, with segments ranging from the latest animal news, to interactions with listeners, to discussions about how messy life can be, and how good God is.

This week, we're hopping in the time machine as we travel waaaay back to May of 2015. We think you’ll really enjoy this one—it’s just as relevant today as it was then. Not to mention, just as funny.
If you've been with us from the beginning, maybe this brings back a memory or two. And if you're newer here, consider it a window into the early days. Either way, we hope it brings you the same joy and comfort it brought us.
Enjoy!

In this final session, Brant brings everything full circle by asking the most important question:
What does God actually want from us?
Not a long checklist of religious tasks. Not a constant emotional high. What God truly wants is loyalty—a steadfast, believing loyalty that holds on even when we don’t feel anything at all.
Brant explores disciplines that help shape us into people who can live lighter, freer lives: prayer, Script...
In this session, drawing from Luke 12 and his own life, Brant explores Jesus’ teachings about wealth, worry, and radical generosity.
Greed, Brant reminds us, is sneaky—it doesn’t announce itself, and it’s not just a “rich people problem.” The takeaway?
You don’t need to own beautiful things to enjoy them, and you don’t have to clutch what you have—because you’re partnering with a generous God.
Guest speaker Lance Ford takes the Followership Conference to the front porch—literally. In this episode, Lance shares heartfelt and often hilarious stories of what it looks like to love your actual
neighbors.
From monthly potlucks to lawn care, and from awkward introductions to transformative relationships, Lance reminds us that being a follower of Jesus means showing up in our neighborhoods with grace, humility, and open hearts.
Brant talks about the unnecessary weight of anger and anxiety so many of us carry—and shows how following Jesus offers us a much lighter way to live.
He shares practical ways to become the kind of person who forgives in real time—yes, even in traffic and connects this to anxiety, too, showing how humans hold onto fear longer than any animal (baby zebras don’t get ulcers).
The life Jesus offers really is better, and we can live it ...
Brant opens the Followership Conference with an invitation into something radically different:
not a call to leadership, but to followership—actually doing what Jesus said.
He reminds us that there's only one expert, and the rest of us are classmates, learning together. Through scripture, history, and stories of hope, Brant paints a picture of the Kingdom so good that, once you see it, you'd give up everything to have it.
