You can choose to be unoffendable. The statement stood out to Brant Hansen when he heard it at a business meeting. The speaker was actually saying that being offended is a choice that we make. Brant found the idea to be offensive. So, he did what any rational, fair-minded, spiritually mature person would do: He scoured the Bible for verses to destroy the argument. The only problem was that the more he searched, the more evidence he found that Christians should forfeit their right to be offended--and give up their right to be angry. When they do this, they make a sacrifice that is pleasing to God, practice humility, and become others-centered. Over time, Brant came to the realization that the idea of having "righteous anger" is just a myth. While we all will get angry at times--after all, we are human--we cannot hold on to it. And as it turns out, when we do release our anger and give up our "right" to be offended, we will find it to be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things that we can do. In Unoffendable, a six-session video study based on the bestselling book, Brant shares insights from his journey and offers practical ways to live life with less stress and more care, including: (1) adjusting our expectations to fit human nature, (2) replacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude, and (3) embracing forgiveness and beginning to love others in unexpected ways. This study lifts religious burdens from the participants' backs and allows them to experience the joy of gratitude, perhaps for the first time, every day of their lives--flourishing the way God intended.
