Followership ep 5 What God Really Wants

4/27/2025
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!

Followership ep 4 Greed, Generosity, and a Convertible

4/27/2025
In this session, drawing from Luke 12 and his own life, Brant explores Jesus’ teachings about wealth, worry, and radical generosity. Greed, Brant reminds us, is sneaky—it doesn’t announce itself, and it’s not just a “rich people problem.” The takeaway? You don’t need to own beautiful things to enjoy them, and you don’t have to clutch what you have—because you’re partnering with a generous God. Follow along with this sessions slides/notes!
