About this episode

Brant discusses a listener's experience of practicing forgiveness after a violent attack, emphasizing the transformative power of love and prayer for enemies.

Brant shares a powerful letter from a listener in prison who was forced to put Jesus' command to love and pray for enemies into practice after being violently attacked. His story becomes a real-world picture of how forgiveness can loosen the grip of hatred and begin changing the heart. Brant also revisits practical ways to pray for enemies—for their peace, for mercy, and for God to heal our own anger—reminding us that obedience to Jesus isn't just about changing other people. It changes us.
