Brant & Sherri Oddcast

Topics: Brant and Sherri talk about patience, spiritual maturity, and what happens when we allow irritation and anger to shape how we see others. Plus, a birthday gift straight from Middle-earth. Quotes: "If I am patient and I can slow myself down and be calm inside, I can see people and still add value to people. "That woman's life story is more important than my not wanting to be insulted." "If I get into this downward vector of just anger at circumstances and frustration, I start to think more selfishly. I don't see other people." "I think the least compassionate thing I can do would be to not tell someone what Jesus said about anger." "If I'm only affirmed, I can't be renewed. "You can be for truth, but you don't do it out of contempt." . . . Holy Ghost Mama Pre-Order! Want more of the Oddcast? Check out our website! Watch our YouTube videos here.

Topics: John Mark Comer joins Brant Hansen for a conversation about quiet, solitude, and what happens when we step away from the constant noise of modern life. Comer shares what he learned during a 21-day silent retreat and explores how distraction can keep us from facing pain beneath the surface. Quotes: "It's the things that we refuse to face in our inner life that actually come to have the most power and wreak the most havoc in our lives." "We live in the first time in human history where it is possible to go through your entire life and never actually be alone." "What we're really searching for is not just an escape from the noise, but is an encounter with God." "If your mind wanders a thousand times during prayer, that's a thousand chances to come back to God." "The desert teaches through subtraction." "You go into the quietest place on earth, and what you expect to hear is the sound of silence, but it's not silent. What you actually hear is the sound of your own self." "We just offer who we are to God in love and we receive whatever does or does not come from God, and we're not in control of that."

Topic: Sherri ask Brant, through the lens of "The Men We Need" how do we raise young men who actively protect others, especially women. Quotes: "The bar is too low if all we're asking of young men is, 'Don't participate.'" "You have to look at women differently than the culture does." "Not just don't participate in bad behavior, but if you see someone that is being taken advantage of, you step in." "The lesson is simple. You can tell them the truth about your role, but then they need to watch you do it." "I'm not going to let the culture get its claws into these forming minds." . . . Holy Ghost Mama Pre-Order!
