The Men We Need - Interview with Brant Hansen

Discipline of Manliness Episode 71

In this episode, I interview Brant Hansen.  Brant Hansen is an author, nationally syndicated radio host, and advocate for healing children through CURE International.

His first book, Unoffendable, has prompted a national discussion on the idea of forgiveness, and our culture’s embrace of self-righteous anger.

His second book, both provocative and very personal, is Blessed are the Misfits: Great News for Those Who Are Introverts, Spiritual Strugglers, or Just Feel Like They’re Missing Something. In this book, Hansen addresses his own, and many others’,  inability to “feel God’s presence”, and how God might Himself feel about that.

He has written for CNN.com, The Washington Post, U.S. News and World Report, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Relevant, and numerous other outlets on matters as varied as public policy, culture, sports, Asperger’s Syndrome, and faith. He’s been a game inventor, fronted a modern rock band, and still dabbles in singing and songwriting.

He has been married for 30 years to Carolyn, and they have two grown children.

He’s also the author of The Men We Need, and most recently The Young Men We Need.  We talk extensively about his book The Men We Need in this episode along with topics from Unoffendable.
