Unoffendable (Brant Hansen)
Having "righteous anger" is just a myth. While we all will get angry at times—after all, we are human—the Bible tells us we are not to hold onto it. In fact, Christians are supposed to forfeit their right to be offended—and give up their right to be angry. And as it turns out, when we do this we will find it to be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things that we can do.
Learn to live life with less stress and more care, by: (1) adjusting our expectations to fit human nature, (2) replacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude, and (3) embracing forgiveness and beginning to love others in unexpected ways. This study lifts religious burdens from our backs and allows us to experience the joy of gratitude every day of their lives—flourishing the way God intended.
Brant Hansen hosts a popular syndicated radio show, and has won multiple “personality of the year” awards for his work on this offbeat and quirky show.
