Episode 12

What comes out of you when you don't get your way?

In this episode, Brant reads a powerful essay built around an African proverb and Jesus' teaching about trees and fruit. If you want to know what kind of tree you're dealing with, don't listen to what it says — look at it's fruit. Bump into the tree and see what falls.

From viral meltdowns to personal moments of sarcasm and pride, Brant talks about our habit of defending our own goodness — and the freedom that comes when we stop pretending. Because when something ugly spills out, we can't say, "That's not me." It is.

But change is possible. Abiding with Christ reshapes us over time, so that when we're bumped, what falls is patience, forgiveness, and love instead of toxicity.
