Welcome to the Brant and Sherry Oddcast, sponsored by America's Christian Credit Union.

To order Brand's latest book, Life is Hard, God is Good, let's dance, or to find out more about the show, go to brantanxen.com.

I was thinking, you know what, we probably shouldn't say this on the air, And the reason I shouldn't say it on the air is because we said it before.

But I'm like, wait a second, though, this is too good.

I want to tell you this again because I learn.

Sherry learns, we learn.

And if you want to grow up, what you do is you bless people who curse you.

People who subtract from your life in some way,

and it can be so frustrating or so angry.

Maybe it's people you don't even know,

whether you're just bugged by them.

And if you can't find a way to bless them directly

because they're not your neighbor or something,

you can still pray for God's blessings on them,

for peace for them, and mean it.

And I'm telling you, you will grow up in real time as you're doing it.

I'm serious.

That is a big step.

And every time you do that, you will be growing up, I promise.

I'll mention this guy who wrote this book about habits, but I love this quote.

He said, if you look for evidence that people are conspiring to hold you back and the world

is working against you, then it will take you no time at all to find precisely that.
