Grad Speech Wisdom | Brant Hansen

9/18/2025

In this eye-opening episode of the FamilyLife Today Podcast, guest Brant Hansen gives a "graduation speech" unlike any other. He uses an AI-generated speech to expose how chasing worldly freedom can lead to loneliness and exhaustion. Instead, he shares a profound message: true freedom and purpose are found by binding yourself to relationships, especially with God and in marriage. Through a moving story about two dogs, Gypsy and Snowball, and a look at Psalm 23, Brant shows why trusting God's character brings a life of "poetry" and joy.
