About this episode

Brant Hansen explores the deeper meaning of belief in Jesus as trust and its impact on handling offense and justice.

What does it really mean to "believe" in Jesus? Brant looks at the Greek word often translated as belief or faith and argues that it points to something much deeper: trust—placing the full weight of our lives on Jesus. That kind of trust changes how we handle offense, justice, and even our enemies. He also shares a listener's story about a 13-year-old learning to pray for a bully, and reflects on how practicing the way of Jesus can slowly reshape our instincts, our character, and the way we see other people.
