Welcome to the followership podcast.

In this brief series, taken from a followership conference held at Grace College,

Brandt Hansen gives some practical and shareable ways to follow the way of Jesus.

And as Brant says, it turns out the Jesus way is the better way to live.

Okay, so we're going to do this thing.

Each time we talk, when I'm leading a session or whatever, we're going to start with

this thing.

This next slide here, go ahead, put that up there.

I think it's the right one.

Okay.

Literally, I taught a Sunday school class.

I hosted some guys on my patio, and that's where this whole idea came from. And we just talked about how to actually follow Jesus, how to actually do the

stuff he told us to do, which seems like a pretty basic thing to talk about. But it's so weird,

like I've been around church culture a long time. It doesn't get talked about

that much. And it's not a slam. It's just like, wait, we could, there's ways to learn his way of life.

And the thing about his way of life is, guys, it's better. It's a way better way of life. And it's

very obvious when you stop and think about it and actually do things like

bless people who hate you.

When you actually pray for people who hate you, your enemies, the people who are driving

you crazy, when you actually radically forgive people, your life is better.

But I always start with this.

And I also made a mistake.
