We Had NO Idea How We Were Going To Make It Home!
Granger welcomes a very special guest, his 13-year-old daughter, London, fresh off their latest short-term mission trip to a remote, unnamed country in Latin America. What begins as a story of gospel proclamation and cultural immersion quickly unfolds into a powerful testimony of faith, hardship, and divine provision. Together, they recount their challenging trek through rugged mountains, tent camping in the jungle, filtered river water, spiritist encounters, and gospel conversations with villagers who had never heard the name of Jesus. Granger shares the importance of proclaiming—not just presenting—the gospel, and how discipling local missionaries brings lasting impact. But the story doesn’t end there. On their return home, a once-in-a-lifetime storm derails their journey in dramatic fashion, stranding them in Atlanta with no luggage, no hotel, and no way out. What follows is a chaotic but providential journey involving canceled flights, closed doors, a stranger at a gas station, and an Uber ride that turns into a divine appointment. This isn’t just an episode about a mission trip. It’s a testimony to the goodness of God—even when everything falls apart. ***************************** See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"God gave us a wake-up call and we rushed to the ER!"
This week’s episode is a deeply personal and reflective one. Granger, Parker, and AntMan sit down to remember the life and legacy of Pastor John MacArthur, who recently passed away. They share stories about his bold, unwavering commitment to biblical truth, how his sermons impacted their faith, and why his voice stood out in a culture full of compromise. Granger also opens up about AntMan’s recent stroke and how it became a moment of clarity and conviction. Together, they unpack Scripture—specifically John 5—and discuss what it means to give yourself fully to God, to live a life that’s not your own, and to offer your body as a living sacrifice. Later in the episode, the guys respond to an honest listener question from someone struggling with spiritual numbness, doubt, and disconnection from God. If you’ve ever felt distant from your faith or unsure how to return, this conversation will meet you where you are. This is a raw, honest episode filled with hope, Scripture, and heartfelt encouragement for anyone walking through the valley. ********************************************** 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.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Will Artificial Intelligence Be Able to Bring Back Your Dead Relative?
In this heartfelt episode, Granger and Tyler get real about grief, hope, and what it means to look forward after losing a loved one. The guys start off sharing news about the new podcast Instagram and some behind-the-scenes updates, but quickly dive deep into personal stories—reflecting on the recent loss of their grandmother, her remarkable life growing up in West Texas, and how grief changes when you’re rooted in Christ. From the rise of AI and how technology is changing our relationship with memory and loss, to practical conversations about the dangers of living in the past and the promise of eternal life, this episode wrestles honestly with what it means to say goodbye—and why, for Christians, it’s never really goodbye forever.

The episode also tackles listener questions—like how to love a spouse who isn’t yet a believer, and advice for a 17-year-old longing for marriage and family. Through it all, Granger and Tyler emphasize the importance of patience, prayer, and contentment in every season. If you’re grieving, feeling stuck in the past, or just need a reminder of the hope we have in Christ, this one’s for you.

From Homeless Teen-Dad to Gospel Rapper | Dillon Chase
On this week’s Granger Smith Podcast, Granger sits down with Christian hip-hop artist, spoken word poet, and all-around encourager, Dillon Chase—and the conversation is as real as it gets. From the Texas panhandle to the heart of Oklahoma, Dillon shares his powerful testimony of growing up surrounded by addiction and pain, and how those hard roads ultimately led him straight to Jesus. Dillon gets honest about what it means to suffer as a Christian—walking through special needs parenting, prodigal children, and the reality that following Christ doesn’t mean life gets easier. In fact, sometimes the suffering goes even deeper, but God’s goodness is always greater. The guys talk about the transformation that happens when you move from “knowing about God” to really knowing Him, how true discipleship changes everything, and why the local church—and having real spiritual mentors—matters so much. Dillon opens up about his journey from secular rap to using his music and spoken word as a platform for the gospel, with encouragement from Christian hip-hop legend Lecrae and a passion to see lives changed, not just entertained. They dive into the messy beauty of church history, denominations, expository preaching, and how reading the Bible for more than just “comfort” can actually confront, challenge, and reshape our lives. Plus, Dillon performs a moving spoken word piece live on the show. If you’ve ever wrestled with suffering, struggled with church hurt, or wondered how to hold onto hope when life gets hard, this episode will encourage and equip you.
