Brandt's book, Unoffendable, check out Brant Hanson.com. Hey there, what's going on? My name is Brant. I'm so glad

you are listening. We are honored. Among other things we'll be talking about during this hour,

Burger King has a new idea for a meal. They think people are really going to

enjoy? I wonder about that. We'll talk about that. And other stuff too coming up. Somebody said this.

I can't remember who. And I would totally look it up, but I don't have that kind of energy.

The human heart is an idol-making machine. And what that means is your heart, my heart, like,

where our emotional center is, we're constantly trying to find something to put up on a pedestal

so we can worship it and make it the thing, like the biggest thing, that that's what it's all about

right there. And in hopes, it could be our career, it could be success, idea, it could be a cause.

It could be good stuff.

Good family.

Like, it's all about this.

But the problem is, if you lose that, or if something doesn't go right with that,

or it winds up, it doesn't, it's not the answer.

We're destroyed because our idol was destroyed. And we have to protect it at all costs and make

excuses for something like man it's so freeing you finally put your trust and I have to tell myself

not going to disappear nothing can happen to it.

Can I tell you something that's almost like a secret

because nobody talks about it?

So I'm just being totally like upfront
