This week’s episode is one of the most emotional and powerful yet. Granger sits down with his wife, Amber Smith to talk about the release of her brand-new book, The Girl on the Bathroom Floor — a raw and redemptive story of grief, surrender, and finding God’s purpose in unimaginable loss. Together, they open up about the pain of losing their son River, the healing that came through Amber’s faith, and how God met her in her deepest sorrow with the words: “Enough. Seek Me.” Amber shares the meaning behind the book’s title, the story of meeting one of River’s kidney recipients, and the powerful lessons of hope and redemption that have emerged from their suffering. They also discuss the harsh criticism that comes with sharing their story publicly — including accusations of “profiting off tragedy” — and how they’ve learned to respond with grace and truth. If you’ve ever faced loss, doubt, or the question of how God could bring beauty from brokenness, this episode will deeply move 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.

What Should Christians Think About Israel?
This week, Granger and AntMan take on one of the most complicated and emotional topics in the world today — Israel. With headlines filled with bombings, politics, and global tension, they slow down to ask a deeper question: how should Christians really think about what’s happening there? Granger shares his experiences from two trips to Israel, including visits to the site of the 2023 music festival massacre near Gaza. He describes walking through memorials, seeing the bunkers, and talking with Israeli soldiers and families living in constant fear. But he also tells the stories of Palestinians he met in the West Bank — parents who just want to feed their children and live in peace. The conversation moves from the human side of the conflict to the spiritual one. Granger and AntMan open Scripture to look at what the Bible says about Israel — the difference between the modern nation and the Israel of the Bible, and how Christians should view God’s promises today. In the end, Granger reminds listeners that God doesn’t pick sides the way we do. He’s not for one nation or another; He’s for His own purpose and glory. It’s a hard but hopeful truth, pointing us back to Christ as the only source of real peace in a world that keeps breaking apart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MIT Predicts Civilization Will End By 2040!
This week, Granger and AntMan revisit a decades-old prediction that’s resurfacing online — an MIT study from 1972 claiming society could collapse by 2040. The two dig into what that actually means, what the researchers got right and wrong, and how changing population trends might be shaping the future faster than we realize. From the idea of socialism as a global “solution” to declining birth rates and the rise of technology, the conversation moves from history to the present day. Granger shares stories from his travels, including a talk with a Venezuelan Uber driver, as they unpack why grand theories about saving the world always seem to ignore human nature. But the heart of the episode isn’t fear — it’s faith. Granger points back to Scripture, reminding listeners that no matter what predictions come true, God’s plan doesn’t change. Whether the world lasts another fifteen years or a thousand, our mission remains the same: to live for Christ and share His gospel in the time we’re given.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To Those Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Death: This is for you!
This week, Granger and AntMan talk about one of the most difficult topics yet: people celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead of rallying anger or division, they slow down to ask why anyone would respond that way and what it says about the deeper shifts happening in our culture. The conversation moves into the idea of cultural paradigms—different ways societies define right and wrong, honor and shame, or even oppressor and oppressed. Granger shares how these lenses shape the way people view events and how they can make neighbors see each other as enemies. But the heart of the episode is not politics or culture—it’s the gospel. Granger and AntMan point to Scripture to show that only Christ can break down the walls that separate us, whether those walls are built from ideology, bitterness, or fear. The message is clear: peace comes not from taking sides, but from the cross.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Where Was God When Charlie Kirk Got Shot?
This week, Granger and AntMan wrestle with a hard question: where is God when tragedy strikes? The conversation centers on the recent shooting of Charlie Kirk and how moments like this stir up doubts and fears. They look to Scripture for examples of suffering and persecution, and talk honestly about why God allows evil in a broken world. Granger shares how our response to pain reveals what we truly believe about God’s character. AntMan adds perspective on how easy it is to seek quick answers, but how the Bible calls us to trust even when life doesn’t make sense. Together, they remind listeners that God has not abandoned us, even in times of chaos. The episode is both sobering and hopeful, pointing us back to the truth that faith is not about avoiding hardship but about holding on to Christ when everything else feels uncertain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
