Summary
Does following Jesus mean allowing people to walk all over you? Brant challenges the familiar warning that Christians should not become "doormats." Looking at Jesus before Herod and Pilate, he explains why refusing to retaliate is not weakness—it is strength rooted in knowing who you are, trusting God with justice, and refusing to let another person control your response. Loving enemies, blessing those who curse you, and returning good for evil do not require abandoning healthy boundaries. They reveal the powerful, countercultural freedom of living the way of Jesus.
