This week, Granger and AntMan take on a headline that sounds like it belongs in a science fiction movie: Bill Gates has been promoting the idea of an electronic tattoo that could one day replace smartphones. The guys dig into what this technology might mean, how it could change everyday life, and why so many people connect it to the biblical idea of the mark of the beast. They talk through the practical side of tech shifts we’ve all experienced, from paper boarding passes to biometric scans, and ask what it would look like if people could no longer buy, sell, or even travel without adopting the latest invention. At the same time, they keep the focus on Scripture, pointing out the difference between using technology and turning it into an idol. The conversation is both serious and lighthearted, with moments of laughter as they imagine the strange possibilities of nanotech tattoos. But at its heart, the episode reminds listeners that salvation isn’t about avoiding a device or a system—it’s about where your worship and trust are placed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

40 Year Old Book Predicted Our Downfall (feat. Hal Elrod)
This week, Granger sits down with Hal Elrod for a conversation about faith, struggle, and the choices we make when life takes an unexpected turn. Hal shares parts of his journey, including the times he’s had to face setbacks that could have left him bitter or broken, and how he found a way forward through gratitude and trust. Together, Granger and Hal talk about what it really means to give your life to God, not just in words but in the daily decisions that shape who we are. They dig into the tension between holding on to control and letting go, and how that surrender can bring a peace the world can’t offer. The conversation isn’t heavy the whole way through. There are lighter moments, laughter, and the kind of warmth that comes when two people connect over both faith and real life. It’s a reminder that we all face challenges, but we also have the choice to lean into hope and to keep our eyes fixed on what matters most.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is This the Mark of the Beast?
What does the Bible really say about the mark of the beast? Is it something we could take without realizing it, or is there more to the story than what we see on social media? Granger and AntMan open the Bible and trace this question through Revelation and beyond, looking closely at what Scripture teaches about worship, allegiance, and the marks that truly matter. The conversation also touches on how past generations feared things like credit cards or Social Security numbers, how rumors spread today on TikTok, and why we should be cautious about building theology from headlines and speculation. Instead, the focus stays on what God has revealed and how believers can find peace in His promises. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Granger Smith Podcast without some lighthearted moments. From dove season and college football to Labor Day birthdays, the talk weaves between everyday life and deeper truth. In the end, listeners are reminded to turn their eyes away from fear and speculation and place their hope firmly on Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

China Is Growing Babies In Robots (feat. Kirk Cameron)
In this week’s episode of the Granger Smith Podcast, Granger sits down with Kirk Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation on family, faith, and the life of the church. They share about family rhythms, Sunday dinners, and the importance of fellowship before moving into deeper discussions about worship, what church gatherings are meant to be, and how Christians can stay rooted in a culture that often feels hostile to their faith. Granger and Kirk also talk about the blessings of cultural Christianity and make an important distinction: cultural Christianity isn’t the same as being a “lukewarm Christian.” Rather, it points to the benefit of living in a society shaped by Christian values, even while rejecting the idea of half-hearted faith. Later in the episode, they respond to an email about a headline out of China describing a “pregnancy robot” being developed with an artificial womb. They ask what this technology might mean for families, infertility, and most importantly, God’s design for life. It’s an episode filled with personal stories, church history, and honest reflection on how faith speaks into the modern world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Our Government Trying To Fake The Second Coming?
This week on the Granger Smith Podcast, we tackle one of the wildest conspiracy theories floating around: Project Blue Beam. Is there really a plan to use advanced holograms, UFO stories, and staged events to create a one-world government—or even fake the Second Coming of Christ? Granger and Ant dig into the history of this theory, how modern technology fuels it, and why believers shouldn’t live in fear. Instead of getting lost in speculation, we go straight to Scripture to see what God’s Word actually says about truth, deception, and the real return of Jesus. Along the way, we also share updates on the upcoming live podcast tour with Granger and Amber, talk about Amber’s upcoming book release, and answer listener emails that keep the conversation raw, real, and relevant. If you’ve ever wondered how to sort through conspiracies, keep your faith grounded, and find peace in uncertain times—this episode is for you. ********************************************** CONNECT WITH MY PODCAST: Instagram► https://instagram.com/GrangerSmithPod YouTube► https://www.YouTube.com/@UCD1JSCn257RlatavklMALyg My NEW BOOK HERE▶ www.grangersmith.com APPAREL™️ GEAR ▶ https://YeeYeeApparel.com SUBSCRIBE HERE ▶ http://smarturl.it/gschannelsubscribe Subscribe to my family channel here ▶ http://youtube.com/TheSmithsTV TALK TO ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram► https://instagram.com/GrangerSmith Facebook► https://facebook.com/GrangerSmith Twitter► https://twitter.com/GrangerSmith Website► https://GrangerSmith.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
