<p>Brant Hansen joins Eric for a long conversation about what Jesus actually meant by "love your enemies," and why so many Christians skip that command.They talk through contempt in public life, how to attack bad ideas without demeaning people made in God's image, why turning the other cheek is strength rather than weakness, and how praying for the person who cuts you off in traffic can change your own heart. Hansen draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Corrie ten Boom, Bonhoeffer and Wilberforce; Eric brings George Washington's officers and Chuck Colson's line about doing hard justice with sorrow.Brant Hansen is a nationally syndicated radio host, co-host of The Brant and Sherri Oddcast, and advocate for CURE International. His books include Unoffendable, Blessed Are the Misfits, The Truth About Us, The Men We Need, The (Young) Men We Need, Life Is Hard. God Is Good. Let's Dance., and Living Unoffended.
