Brant Hansen

Geboren: October 11, 1969 – Assumption, Illinois, United States

Brant Hansen is an American Christian author, radio host, and podcaster whose work focuses on faith, emotional health, relationships, and social dynamics. He is known for books including Unoffendable and Blessed Are the Misfits, and for reaching national audiences through his long-running syndicated radio program and podcast.

Biografie & Werdegang des Autors

Brant Hansen grew up in very small Midwestern towns, chiefly in Illinois and Indiana, and has recalled graduating in Assumption, Illinois, in a class of 27. He studied journalism at the University of Illinois, where he worked at campus station WPGU, then moved into Christian radio at WBGL in Champaign and KSBJ in Houston before returning to Champaign for talk radio at WDWS. Earlier ambitions toward baseball play-by-play gave way to a career behind the microphone, a medium that suited both his verbal style and the vulnerabilities he later discussed openly, including nystagmus and an autism-spectrum diagnosis received later in life. Those experiences helped shape the candid, self-deprecating voice that became central to his broadcasting and writing. ((https://www.myjourneyfm.com/about-us/meet-the-team/))

quote
You know that feeling when God is right there, thisclose, and you can just feel His loving arms around you, and you can literally hear His voice whispering in your ear, telling you how much He loves you? I don’t. I never have
-Blessed Are the Misfits
quote
I don’t think there are many ways to fail at praying besides not praying
-Blessed Are the Misfits
quote
But maybe my biggest problem isn’t that prayer isn’t real enough. Maybe it forces me to be all too real, when I’d rather hide
-Blessed Are the Misfits
quote
Yes, Jesus-followers are an odd group. Some are hard to take. Some are annoying. Some would say the same of me. But there’s something wonderful, mysterious, even shocking, about people who stay together anyway
-Blessed Are the Misfits
quote
In the moment, everyone’s anger always seems righteous
-Unoffendable
quote
The thing that you think makes your anger ‘righteous’ is the very thing you are called to forgive. Grace isn’t for the deserving. Forgiving means surrendering your claim to resentment and letting go of anger
-Unoffendable
quote
If you’re constantly being hurt, offended, or angered, you should honestly evaluate your inflamed ego
-Unoffendable
quote
We don’t have to defend ourselves against the truth about us
-The Truth about Us
quote
In the end, I think our autobiographies can be really short. We’ll be able to sum up the entire story with a pause, maybe a laugh, and a simple, ‘I had my doubts, but you know what? God was good to me.’
-The Truth about Us
