So I’m not trying to promote the enneagram or whatever. But my wife saw this and was like, “This is you and Sherri!” and WOW it totally is…

Who's with me that this game is vastly underrated?

It taught us physiology and anatomy, like knowing where our "wish bone" and "charlie horse" can be located. Plus, it taught a generation of future surgeons that patients' noses will light up if you blow it, so don't blow it.

Kids these days don't understand this.

Please join us for a video stream right here on FB Tuesday evening! Producer Sherri and I will bring the usual mix of fun and insight coupled with possible spontaneous puppetry!!!

YOU GUYS...

VERY excited to announce a new book! Check it out!

It has short excerpts from several of my previous books, plus 20 new chapters AND they let me add lots of my bespoke, artisanal stick-figure drawings that drive home the point!

The designers KILLED it, too. It looks great. Just a lot of fun AND all about a truly radical way of living.

I buried my dad today.

There was no funeral. It was just my brother and me, standing in windswept and freezing rural Illinois.

He wanted to be cremated. I don't know why. So this is his box.

My brother brought one thing to be buried with him: The sign that my dad would hang on the office doors of all of "his" churches: "Phil Hansen, Minister."

Darin brought it, and I immediately knew why. "He should be buried with this, because it's what he cared about: Himself, and his title."

And so we did. I cried, but not for him, honestly. I cried because I was so thankful to have a brother, who, like me, still loves the Lord in spite of it all. "Though He slay me," Job said, "Yet I will trust in him."

We thanked God out loud for all that he has done in our lives to live out the antithesis of what we went through growing up: The terror, the trauma, the embarrassment. And what we've been dealing with as adults for so many years. We honestly wondered if it would end.

Here we were, together, after all that. Some things only a sibling can understand.

Please know that a life that's All About You may well conclude this way, even after decades of "ministry":

Just two people, if they bother to show up, standing in the cold, praying blessings over each other's families, and thanking God that he rescued them from you.
