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.

Bill Gates’ New Project is Pure Evil!

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.

Stop Talking About Jesus!

This week on the Granger Smith Podcast, Granger, Amber, and AntMan tackle a thought-provoking (and surprisingly encouraging) voicemail from a listener who passionately dislikes Granger’s faith and his mentions of Jesus on the air. Together, they break down the message through a biblical lens, discussing what it means to be “hated for your faith” and why such opposition is expected for believers. They share Scripture, personal stories, and even a perspective from outspoken atheist Penn Jillette on why Christians should share the gospel. The episode also includes a big announcement — the podcast is going on the road for a live tour this fall — plus an update on Amber’s upcoming book The Girl on the Bathroom Floor.

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.

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. Tyler opens up about processing his first loss as a born-again believer and Granger shares biblical wisdom from John 21 and 1 Thessalonians, pointing listeners to the hope found in Jesus rather than just memories or even the people we miss most. 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. Listen in for: ➡️ A raw, unfiltered testimony about faith in the fire ➡️ Why “suffering is temporary, but God’s goodness is forever” (2 Corinthians 4) ➡️ Behind-the-scenes stories from the Christian music world ➡️ The life-changing impact of discipleship and community ➡️ How God can redeem even the darkest parts of our story Check out Dillon’s music on all platforms and stay tuned for his upcoming album, “Not Destroyed.” Subscribe, rate, and share this episode if it resonates—because someone you know probably needs this hope, too. ********************************************** 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.

How Smartphones Are Rewiring Your Kid’s Brain (And What You Can Do About It) | Clare Morell

This week on the Granger Smith Podcast, we’re diving deep into one of the most pressing—and honestly, most convicting—challenges facing parents today: how do we raise healthy, thriving kids in a world dominated by screens?

She unpacks the core principles from The Tech Exit, including how any parent (no matter how much screen time they’ve already allowed) can hit reset, detox as a family, and reclaim the home from digital distractions. You’ll hear stories of families who’ve opted out, how to find allies in your community, and why a smartphone-free childhood is possible—and actually a better, easier path than you might think.

"I Was Beaten Into The Crips!" | Emean "E.Z." Zwayne

In this powerful episode, Granger Smith sits down with Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne, president of Living Waters, to unpack a riveting testimony of redemption—from a violent youth in gang life to becoming a leading voice in evangelism.

With striking biblical insight, E.Z. offers men a tactical, grace-filled strategy for battling pornography, summed up in the memorable acrostic “NOPE: Not One Peek Even.” Through the “Six Cs” framework—Creation, Cross, Crisis, Crown, Crowd, and Christ—he calls men to fight with eternal purpose and deep love for God, family, and the church.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Actually, I'm not a big fan of this, but anything can happen. I think that there are also options like in this article https://getexbackforgood.com/ simple tips on how to get your ex back if you really want to return such a relationship. But the most important thing is just to solve the problems because of which you had a breakup.
