You Don’t Deconstruct from Jesus with Brant Hansen

Life is hard. God is good. Let’s dance. That’s the mantra (and the book title) of today’s podcast guest, Brant Hansen. Brant is an award-winning author and radio show host whose life provides a tangible example of the joy often missing in Christianity today. But his joy doesn’t stem from ignorance or a life free of trauma. Hear him explain to Keith how even though he could have deconstructed his faith, he never could fathom deconstructing from Jesus himself. He uses his own “strange” experiences to illustrate Jesus’s model of Christian neighboring and radical generosity. He also touches on gender roles and a true, biblical vision for masculinity.
