Brant & Sherri Oddcast
Brant Hansen
Brant Hansen is from small-town Illinois, and is a self-professed nerd, diagnosed with Asperger's as an adult. He's a fan of C.S. Lewis and toast. "Producer Sherri", also a radio veteran, is from Pittsburgh, has one of the world's great laughs, and demonstrates incredible patience with Brant. Both are believers in Jesus, but have difficulty fitting in with modern American church culture. Together they have a daily radio show that is syndicated across the country, with segments ranging from the latest animal news, to interactions with listeners, to discussions about how messy life can be, and how good God is.

Followership ep 5 What God Really Wants
In this final session, Brant brings everything full circle by asking the most important question: What does God actually want from us? Not a long checklist of religious tasks. Not a constant emotional high. What God truly wants is loyalty—a steadfast, believing loyalty that holds on even when we don’t feel anything at all. Brant explores disciplines that help shape us into people who can live lighter, freer lives: prayer, Scripture memorization, Sabbath, solitude, fasting, silence, and gratitude. This final episode leaves you with the invitation to walk with God daily, honestly, and loyally. Follow along with this session's slides/notes!
