Brant Hansen in the WILD
Brant Hansen is an author, nationally syndicated radio host, and advocate for healing children through CURE International.
He’s been featured on ABC’s “Good Morning America” in addition to regular appearances on Focus on the Family and Family Life Today, among many others. He’s written for CNN.com, The Washington Post, and U.S. News and World Report on a wide range of topics, and his work has been highlighted in The Irish Times.
Brant has won national “personality of the year” awards 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 been downloaded more than 17 million times.
He leverages his radio platform to advance the healing work of CURE, which provides life-changing surgeries for children with treatable conditions.
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.
His third, The Truth About Us: The Very Good News About How Very Bad We Are, hit bestseller lists in spring/summer of 2020. He’s also written The Men We Need—also charting on bestseller lists–and The (Young) Men We Need, along with his latest book, about living with peace, called Life is Hard, God is Good, Let’s Dance.
Brant speaks to groups/conferences/churches when his schedule allows. 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’s been a game inventor, fronted a modern rock band, and still dabbles in singing and songwriting.
He has been married 34 years to Carolyn, and they have two grown children.
