• "He Was A Tyrant And Emotionally Toxic!"

  In this Friday Q&A, Granger tackles two thoughtful emails that deal with the power of language and the challenges of building a Christ-centered home. First, he responds to a listener who struggles with Christians using phrases like “been through hell” and questions whether this language honors what Jesus actually endured. Granger unpacks why word choice matters, how our phrases reveal what we believe, and why Christians should be intentional with the way we speak. The second email comes from a young wife and soon-to-be mom who did not grow up with biblical examples of marriage or parenting. She asks how to rewrite old patterns and understand God’s design for the family. Granger and the team offer practical counsel about discipleship, learning from older believers, embracing self-denial, and starting a new legacy rooted in Christ. Have a question for a future Q&A?

• Me and The Kids Got Into A Car Wreck In Cuba

  This week, Granger and AntMan sit down with two special guests who don’t join the studio very often: Granger’s oldest kids, London and Lincoln. Fresh off a week-long trip to Cuba, they talk through the travel mishaps, the power outages, the culture shock, and the moments that surprised them the most. From learning to put up a tent in the heat, to playing football with kids who’d never seen one before, to realizing how different life feels when comfort is taken out of the picture, the kids share it all in their own words. Granger opens up about why he brings his children on these discipleship trips and what he hopes they take away from the discomfort, the joy, and the simplicity of life there. London talks about the friendships she’s built over the years and the kids she’s come to love, while Lincoln recalls the fear, the tears, and then the surprising pull of not wanting to leave by the end. It’s a candid, honest conversation about faith, family, and what happens when you step outside your routine long enough to see the world, and yourself, a little differently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• Why Should We Bring More Kids Into This Dark World?

  This week, Granger sits down with Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, for a heartfelt conversation about faith, family, and the work God is doing through everyday people. Granger shares how Focus on the Family shaped his own upbringing, even playing a voice message from his mom describing how the ministry prayed for their family through some of their hardest years. Jim responds with stories of his own, reflecting on how the ministry seeks to strengthen homes and reach people who feel unseen or overwhelmed. As the conversation unfolds, the two talk about the importance of investing in young men and why this next generation is at the center of so many cultural battles. They discuss what real masculinity looks like, how the world often distorts it, and why raising strong, humble, Christ-centered men matters so deeply for families and churches. Granger and Jim also take time to talk about marriage, purpose, and the value of bringing children into a world that feels increasingly unstable. Jim’s perspective is clear and encouraging — God places us exactly where and when He intends, and He equips parents to raise kids with courage and hope, even in difficult times. It’s an honest and uplifting episode filled with wisdom, stories, and gratitude for the ministry that has touched so many families.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• Stop Hoping She’ll Come Back

  In this Friday Q&A, Granger answers two listener questions with honesty, clarity, and a whole lot of real-life wisdom. First, he explains why he teaches his kids to say “yes sir” and “yes ma’am,” how it ties back to his own upbringing, and why he sees it as an act of love that prepares them for life, respect, and responsibility. Then Granger responds to a college student dealing with a painful breakup and the uncertainty that follows. He offers straightforward biblical counsel on letting go, healing well, and moving forward with maturity instead of clinging to false hope. Have a question for a future episode?

• Who Has A "Talk Me Down" Video?

  Granger reacts to a viral video about fighting temptation, focusing on the battle against pornography and why this struggle has to be treated with the seriousness of a war. He talks through the weight of sin, the reality that Christ absorbed God’s wrath on our behalf, and the practical steps believers can take to flee temptation. This includes accountability, tools like Covenant Eyes, removing access to triggering content, switching a phone to grayscale, and building spiritual layers of protection. The conversation highlights the importance of preparing for the fight before temptation shows up and learning to live as a Christian on offense rather than defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
