New York Times bestselling author Granger Smith continues to share his personal testimony to fans across the globe through his book Like a River: Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Loss and Heartache. After the tragic loss of his son, River, Smith set forth on an inescapable path of discovery towards God's grace and mercy.
After 24 years touring as an award-winning, platinum-selling, country music singer-songwriter, Smith chose to leave the music business to pursue a future in ministry. The culmination of his 2023 final farewell Like A River tour marked his last as he moves full throttle towards his faith.
Smith serves his local church under the teaching, council and leadership of his pastors while he continues work on a Master's degree at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is actively embracing public speakership and authorship. Granger and his wife, Amber, live north of Austin, Texas, with their kids London, Lincoln, and Maverick.
Granger please have your Mennonite friend on again maybe have him go in depth of the Mennonite culture and religion. I work at a Mennonite ran store and find it very interesting but would like to learn more
I disagree with dating apps & sites. The Lord can bring His Best into your life in so many impossible ways. He can bring your spouse from across the world to you if you trust Him. Pray & seek The Lord for relationships He wants in your life. Especially women. Women should be found, not being the seekers. He who finds a wife finds a good thing & obtains favor from The Lord.
What's God say. Galatians 1:8-12 NKJV But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. John 14:6, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me".
1 corinthians 15: 1-4 we are saved by faith through grace in what Jesus did for us on the cross. He paid for our sin past and future. He shed his blood, died was buried after 3 days he was resurrected and went to heaven to sit at the side of God..
I had to have my Daddy cremated in order to get him hone to Texas to place him next to my Mama. We could not afford to transport his body across multiple state lines. He lived in Colorado when he died and had lived in Texas for years and was there when my Mama passed. There was no way nor any place to bury him, that could afford, in Colorado. He already had a plot in Texas.
A private, husband, and wife relationship should be between a husband and wife. Marital issues should NEVER be shared to families/ your partners in-laws unless agreed upon mutually. This is for a marital relationship. For a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, it's really iffy. I totally understand why she wouldn't want that. Totally understand her reasoning. It's like you said, if they decide to get married then the parents are already partial against against her. Not cool
Leviticus 23 describes the Sabbath together with seven feasts, namely the Feast of Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Firstfruits, the Feast of the Harvest, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. The above mentioned are Yahweh’s Holy Appointments with us.
…the Catholic Church is notorious for being all inclusive I order to get pagans, et al, into the Catholic Church. (That’s how Christmas came into being!) Jesus was born in September. Saturnalia was celebrated in December. The Catholic Church combined the two inorder to get the pagans to join the Catholic Church! The Catholic Church worships the sun god not the One God!!!
Hi Granger, may the Lord bless you from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! Thanks for sharing this episode. I disagree about Pope Francis says because he supports LBGTQA+ people and abortion. He's not Christian!
Excuse me. “The Mary Thing”. You just insulted every Catholic. Catholics are Christian Too. Do you know what Catholic means. Catholic means “Universal”. The Catholic Church was the VERY FIRST Church. ALL other denominations stemmed off from the Universal(Catholic) Church.
I remember seeing a sermon of yours where you falsely claimed the Catholic Church says there can be no assurance of one's salvation. Now you're calling the Pope a universalist heretic. Make up your mind.
Why is any religion created? To reach the one true God. Yes, even Hinduism. The Pope's statement is factually true even if it was poorly worded, but notice he did NOT say that all religions lead to salvation.
Yes, the Pope is a Christian. The Pope is the leader of all Christians on this side of Eternity, not a know it all country singer who only just started really studying scripture and theology like 3 years ago.
The Pope is not my leader on this side of eternity. That is deeply offensive to me as a born again Christian. There is but one mediator between God and man and that is Christ Jesus.
@orborn3580 he is whether you like it or not. No amount of out of context Bible quotes that have nothing to do with the topic at hand will change that. The Pope is the one selected by the Holy Spirit to be a successor of St. Peter as Vicar of Christ to serve and lead the Church.
@@RedNeck_Zeus he is not, whether you like it or not. You and your pope and your Catholicism rely on a works based salvation. Your tradition will not save you. You need to go back and read the book of John over and over till you figure it out.
I really like your response to the last question. I believe that there what saves you is faith in Jesus and repenting from your sins, the Bible is the true word of God. I trusted God and gave my life to Him as a young child, but I didn’t get baptized until my first child was born. I am a Christian and I go to a southern Baptist church, it doesn’t matter what denomination you are, I think there will be all Christian churches will be represented in Heaven.
What a breath of fresh air that was, to listen to you talk about the different religions!! I agree 100% and have never heard of another person putting it that way. Just straight talk. Thank you for all that you bring to us each Monday morning, it’s so important and gives us all something to think about!! Blessings to you and yours. ❤😊 P.S. I miss Bernie… when is he coming back for a visit??
The "system" God created is our free will to choose to follow Him or to follow the world. One path leads to eternal life with Him or an eternity of suffering and torment. You say He doesn't exist but then you acknowledge that He created everything.
The closer you get to GOD the more the enemy is going to fight you. And he wants to torment your mind. That why we must renew our minds every day with the WORD OF GOD.
From my perspective, Pope Francis is spreading message that the real Truth does not need to prove and protect itself. The real Truth does not pretend to be "right". The real Truth is incompatible with arrogance, intolerance, hostilities and violence. There is no need to 'defend' your truth and faith, but it is essential to be faithful yourself and live accordingly. I believe that this message is very important. Faithfully yours, bishop Vincent Berg.
Sounds like putting yourself before God. You won't find that message in the Bible. Be faithful to yourself, then praise yourself, get saved by your choice of what's true, then sing about the good news in worship to yourself. The world agrees with you.
@@brandonsmith4102 The Word of God is not limited to the Hole Scripture. It is why we have from Him the Old and New Testaments, prophets, teachers, etc. - to help our souls in reaching the most achievable harmony with God during our material existence according to our real abilities to understand Him. In the story of Balaam’s Donkey (Numbers 22:21-35), God spoke even via a donkey. Thus, someone's position, opinion and vision might (or might not) still represent the Word of God. It is unlikely accidental that “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” is repeated a number of times throughout the Gospel. Faithfully yours, bishop Vincent Berg.
bro we have lost connection with nature are feet no longer touch dirt earth .we dont teach are young like animals in nature we have also abused our sing cup over and over and over and people go to church every week to repent for the sins of the week which are repeated I'll say we are so disconnected
