Brant Hansen

Brant Hansen is an author, nationally syndicated radio host, and advocate for healing children with correctible disabilities through CURE International Children's Hospitals. He’s won “personality of the year” awards multiple times for his work on his offbeat and quirky radio show which airs on more than 200 stations. His podcast with his friend and radio producer, Sherri Lynn (“The Brant and Sherri Oddcast”) has more than 15 million downloads. His first book, Unoffendable, prompted a national discussion on the idea of forgiveness, and our culture’s embrace of self-righteous anger. His second book is both provocative and personal. 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. The Truth About Us is Brant's third book, released in 2021. It takes a thoughtful and humorous approach to exploring how adept humans are at justifying themselves, drawing from both cognitive scientists and Biblical wisdom. His fourth book, The Men We Need, tackles the challenge of presenting a positive, distinct vision for masculinity that is life-giving both for men and everyone in their sphere of influence. Brant speaks to groups/conferences/churches when his schedule allows. He has appeared as a guest to talk about cultural issues on programs such as ABC's Good Morning America, and 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, still dabbles in singing and songwriting. He’s traveled extensively throughout the world for CURE and other groups, including multiple trips to CURE’s hospital for women and children in Afghanistan. He has been married for 33 years to Carolyn, and they have two grown children.
