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. You can find articles written by Brant at branthansen.com, and you can follow him on Twitter: @branthansen

"We live in the first time in human history where it is possible to go through your entire life and never actually be alone."

"If your mind wanders a thousand times during prayer, that's a thousand chances to come back to God." "The desert teaches through subtraction." "You go into the quietest place on earth, and what you expect to hear is the sound of silence, but it's not silent. What you actually hear is the sound of your own self." "We just offer who we are to God in love and we receive whatever does or does not come from God, and we're not in control of that."
