Saying Goodbye To This Channel... 

There isn’t many channels that’s wholesome anymore like y’all .. so watching y’all’s makes me feel peaceful and feels good to my soul. No pressure for videos tho. As long as y’all don’t leave us I’m fine with whenever!! Lol I have notifications on ! Also soooo proud of you Granger for obeying God! (You to Amber for Arise) God has big things in store for y’all!! Again thank you!! Be blessed!!

I’m sooooo happy to hear the Smiths is not going away...we LOVE the Smiths!!! Do what it takes to make your life easier…just be careful not to burn out!!!🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Honestly no schedule makes y’all even more relatable! It feels more authentic too.

Grateful for you guys. Thank you for encouraging me to run closer to Jesus! I will take a Smith video anytime I can get!

You two have to do what works best for you! I’m just thankful that y’all aren’t going away. Y’all and your kiddos always place a smile on my face. God Bless and do you…..

Glad you are taking time to care of yourselves. We love you all and do not want to burn yourselves out. God bless the Smith family.

Your family time together is so much more important than getting videos out . Your love for Christ and sharing your life with others is a gift to us. We are blessed that you share with us so openly. We are praying for you regularly here in Weaverville CA. God bless you as your take this new step in your lives. ❤

Y’all scared me with the title of this video! I’m thankful you all are still going to do this channel- thank you for allowing us to peek inside your life. ❤

We ❤ you all. Prayers for all of you. Understand I basically lost 6 months of my life being sick, but watching you all give me smiles and listen to country music helps. I am an amputee, and I lost my right foot, so that makes my life more challenging and difficult coping with all struggles. So please as you all know well: cherish each other and keep up your faith. ❤ you all.

Oh Amber. You guys feel like friends to me. Please feel free to do whatever you need to do. I would hate to lose track of you guys as you grow into what God has in store for you. Thank you for continuing to include us. Somebody's got to tend the animals after all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I like the variability of the more flexible schedule! Exciting changes that will hopefully allow you all more time with family. So grateful for all that you have already share of your lives with us. You all know we just love to “hang out” with you all whether that’s Tuesday at 6, Friday at 10, just cool to get to enjoy parts of the Smith lifestyle. Glad you are making the shift! God bless on this change and future endeavors!

I am one of those folks that kinda planned my Tuesdays and Thursdays around the release of your videos, but I'm totally okay with getting videos from y'all whenever you're ready. Please go out and do your lives, and please share what you want to share when you want to share it. #FullSupport #YeeYee

It's been an honor to follow the Smith Family since the beginning! Don't worry about what other people say. Putting out random videos is going to excite all of us and for those that can't appreciate you retiring from music and still having a life, it's not about them, it's about you and enjoying time with your family as the kiddos are growing and us appreciating you staying with us! See you in a few months!

The schedule doesn't matter to me ... I love seeing there's a new one! Love you all!

So glad you’re not going away. The beauty of RU-vid is the notifications bell. When you do post we will all know. Your life is changing and you have to take the time to figure things out. God Bless.

I’ve never ‘waited’ for y’all to push a video. I have notifications turned on and watch them as I get it…. Or as soon as I have time to watch it. 😂😂 I’m glad y’all are changing it!

Granger as Long as you keep LOVING Amber and raising your babies together ❤. Grace ✝️

We’ll be here schedule or no schedule because we looooove The Smith’s!!! 🎈

I'm happy you are trying to slow up a bit. You seem to be sooo busy all the time. I hope you will find more time for your children. You want to preach ,go to seminary, travel to mission countries for Jesus. It seems by doing so much you are taking time away from your children.. From what you are describing of your busy lifestyle , your family does not see you every day, except for a few hours a week, Maybe you can slow own a bit and preach closer to home where you can be more involved in the everyday lives of your kids.

I completely understand the busy schedule. I am a wife, momma of 5, going to college for elementary education, teacher's aid at our Christian school, basketball coach, part of our church worship team, youth group helper, PTO treasurer, and the list goes on! I am praying for you and your family and love watching your family. I have watched every single episode and have been with your family since the beginning. Arise with Amber gives me such hope and I am incredibly blessed to be able to watch that as well. I feel like a part of your family...I have loved watching your kids growing up, they are awesome! I'm so happy to see God using you for so many different things! I look forward to getting the surprise videos, whenever..! 😊

Happy to hear you are going for a little more balance in your life and not totally cancelling this channel. Your content is refreshing, uplifting, and wholesome - desperately needed in this present age we live in. Thank you for sharing your lives with us - the good, the tough, and also your growth in the Lord. I am blessed, and often challenged, every single time I watch your story. May God continue to bless and keep you in the palm of His hand.

Where did Earl Dibles Jr. Go??

Any time something is taking over in our lives (work or personal) it is placed there to be a distraction, to shift your attention elsewhere. It’s good that you’ve stepped back and are adjusting. Good for you. Really enjoy your channel, your family. Each of you are a role model. Thanks for you being you!

That honestly is a super tough schedule getting as much content as possible to put that out twice a week plus all the other million things you do. My hats off to y’all doing it this long! So much respect and admiration for the decisions y’all been making lately. That’s gotta be tough knowing how loved the entire smith family, Yeeyee nation, granger fans and his twin earl dibsbles are. Respect y’all respect your changes ❤❤❤❤

You two are incredible! I will follow you whenever or wherever you have time for us. Don’t worry about us. We will be here. Good luck and blessings to you all in this new chapter of your lives. You are so loved! 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻

I know y’all put a lot of thought and prayer into your decision about this channel and for me, I’m happy with what y’all give us to share with you on your journey. Sending hugs! ❤

This works! ❤️ Whatever helps alleviate some pressure off your already busy schedules is needed. Totally understandable. I would be so sad to lose The Smith's all together, so please, just do it in your own time. Also this is great for Paul. Praying June comes quick for Tyler. Saw him on Take and Read and he got to explain a little how things are going for him. Please Granger, have Tyler on the podcast once he gets some time freed up. 🙏 Glad you guys are sticking around for us on RU-vid. No need for set days. It will be a nice surprise when I get the notification. Sending so much love and can't wait to hopefully see you both on the road. PS. Really looking forward to the book. ❤ & Love the River shirt!

Thank y'all for being so open with us!! Do what you need to do!! Prayer's for you🤗🙏❤

Sorry never realized you had certain days, l look at them if they happen to.appear on my list, I agree, have a life, we enjoy your videos and we are lucky to have them to watch, but life comes first and your family comes first, so no apologies needed, we will see ya when we see ya, take care!

You two are such a great example and witness on this channel! Thank you for being there for us every Tuesday and Thursday, 3 kids, touring, speaking, and all the other stuff y’all are doing in this season! Doing God’s work means we have to adapt our lives to Him and His timing not ours! You are both so amazing, by the Grace of God y’all are able to do what you do and have beautiful smiles on your faces! Again, thank you both for being Godly examples to The Smith viewers, I know your channel changed my life and I am grateful!! But!! I’m so sad you are not doing the best time at Billy Bobs!!😢😢😂😂😂

Awwww God bless both of your hearts....and for sure do as best for ya all...and God bless what ever ya do..Love in Christ.

I am grateful for you guys and this channel. Knowing that you guys are living life to the fullest and living in the moment is awesome. You need to do what is best for your family, but when you decide to release a video, we will be right here to support you guys. Gig'em 👍

Wow! I knew you guys were busy, buy that schedule is INSANE! I'm so grateful to hear from you when you can. It's more spontaneous this way! Love you, guys! ❤

I Love watching you all! Please don’t put so much pressure on yourselves.. People can relate to being busy. Looking so forward to your book release! ❤

Change is not always easy...Much Love! Thank you for the open and honest communication. Wishing y'all the best in life and your endeavors.

They just said the RU-vid channel isn't going away he's not putting time restraints on themselves anymore which is a good thing

ANY time yall can get a video up would be great. Maybe even better because it will be a surprise.

With the random videos coming out now it will be a surprise like a birthday gift or Christmas I like the idea.

It's ok! Do you first. I will see you when i see you. God Bless you guys!

I think this is a great idea. I enjoy watching but now it's going to be a nice surprise.

LIVE like RIV! LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. Go where the Spirit leads and He will work out all the rest. We look forward to seeing God continue to move in your lives.❤

I believe God leads your lives, and whatever you do, TRUELY FAITHFUL followers will be VERY HAPPY with whatever y’all share with us!!! ✝️🙋‍♂️🙏🇨🇱💪

It’s OKAY to set it back and I can understand. As long as this channel is still there, I will always wait for your new video. I love you guys and inspire me a lot to not be totally concerned about the worldly thing, instead seeking God and His Kingdom. God bless you and love you guys from Indonesia ❤❤❤

Thank you for your time. My kids told me about your channel in 2020, and you were a bright spot in my life during that difficult time of question and quarantine. I still enjoy watching The Smiths, but I get to do it on my time, so I sure understand how hard it is to schedule them. Enjoy your family and friends, and we will enjoy seeing you whenever.

Granger- you probably won’t see this but I’m a wife/mom 25 years. In the early days my husband traveled every other week. That ended but he missed a lot of the 3 boys growing up. Now he puts in 80 hours a week and I have 2 kids in college and 1 done and out. Stop. Just stop. Way to much on Amber and your kids. Go look at old videos and you can see it in Amber. Small things I notice. You don’t think so, u think u r there enough…u will look back in 10 years (London at 21) and say why did I put all that time into all those different things. It wasn’t worth it. You know why? Bc it’s busy work. Think of what more you could do with your family instead before the kids are gone. Do the sermons. I see your love with that. That’s what you spend your time on. Drop the extras. Busy isn’t good for your kids or your wife. Listen to someone who went thru it. Soon the kids won’t be there that’s when you can pick it all up again. 10 years will go by in an instant (London will be in college before that) and to be honest the kids will be busier with their friends in their teenage years and won’t be home much (u don’t have much time left). Ask Amber if she would rather have you around or have you doing a podcast, after midnight, etc. I love you and your family. Just trying to give you a heads up that in 7 years one will be out the door and the other will not be home much (job, sports, friends). Your time with them is now. Slow it down. Stop the extras. Enjoy the now. ❤

It's really hard keeping up with a schedule. It's better in my opinion, as a creator myself, to do exactly as you said. Make quality videos over quantity. My videos are not real-time so that I can make daily vlogs for one channel and two videos a week for our Family channel. I'm a small RU-vidr with two channels, and potentially more coming. God bless y'all! ❤🙏🏻

first of all *evil eye* (for the clickbait title) lol. SERIOUSLY make it easy for you. I like the idea of whenever. We know you guys are busy (and probably too busy). Please stop worrying about us and how we will think. (I mean it's awesome that you guys do care, but we are here for whatever) Please relax take a deep breath about this. (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) You guys are flippin' amazing! 🙂

You do u. Every youtuber I have been most faithful to have a regular uploading schedule. Even if it's once a week or even once a month SET then maybe extras. People who "hook" us, get the pop, get wealthy & secure then pull back or stop. All our heart for ...

You know what? This decision was made by you both after much prayer! So, there is nothing to do but rejoice. There is nothing to explain. We love you and thank God that our Lord is responding in such a mighty way in your lives. Galatians 2:20

Just pre-ordered Granger's book and I need to remember I need 2 more Dinosaur books. Just had a Grandson last Dec 2022 and another grandbaby coming October 2023 ❤ Our 5 year old Granddaughter and our Great Niece love theirs ❤

I'm subscribed to your channel and never knew the schedule but I see all the videos. The title to this might throw some people off, they may think you are leaving and unsubscribe. I look forward to your future videos when ever they come out:)

I haven’t been to your concerts but I may in Ft.Worth soon. I love the Smiths and Arise with Amber! I’d love to hear you preach too! I have some advise as a recent widow of a good and very dedicated police lieutenant and that is to take care of yourselves and your health! Serving others is a wonderful occupation and devotion but don’t do it to the detriment of your health and family. My husband worked until five months before he died. He didn’t get the time to watch our grandkids finish growing up or to enjoy his retirement because he was too sick at the end to leave the hospital for long. The stress, even when doing good deeds or good work, wears on you! God bless your family!

I am glad to hear that you are not cancelling the channel. We all are busy and you have to do what works for your family. We wish you the best as you kinda start a new chapter in your life. You both are such an inspiration and we thank you for that!

Thank you for sharing your lives and THE WORD

In an effort to spend more time with my family I’ll be spending less on YT. Unsubscribing but wish you and the family well.

God Bless. Stopped my day for this scare. Keep them coming, unity and conquer.

Well Smith family I kind of seen this coming ,but I hope y’all don’t go away forever because y’all we love you to much 💗❤️💗❤️❤️❤️🙏🦋🎈. YEEYEE So we will take y’all whenever we can ! God Bless

It’s a slow goodbye. I get scheduling is tough. You have to live your life.

You guy's are real and you are such a example of honest life and Love 💓thank God for being Real❤❤

Thank you for inspiring others to become followers of Christ through their own journeys and pursuits. You have my respect pal, see you at Billy Bobs in TX!

God is really blessing your lives, friends. Praying for your family in this season. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Yes, being present in your own lives is so much more important than keeping a schedule for your channel.

Do what you need to do. There are other RU-vid that do a certain time however sometimes they have to change the number of times they post a week due to what is happening in their lives at that time. It's all good. Just continue to put GOD first. Have a blessed day.

“Saying goodbye to this channel…” 5 minutes in “we’re not getting rid of this channel” total click bare and I love it hahahaha

You do what is right for you and your family. We will have no problem adjusting to your new schedule. We love you all!

Lots of RU-vidrs post on specific days, but I understand that you guys have more important things to focus on.

No matter what the schedule I am so thankful for y’all! I can proudly say that this channel led me back to Christ!

As a big fan of all your hard work I appreciate all you bless us with. You both keep me closer to god. I hope when I visit my son in Daytona I can make it to a service and I definitely look forward to seeing you at the Buck in Pa. this July 3 ,sooo....excited! Yee Yee!

Okay, remember every video must have Obligatory Mav shot!!!! 😊

I am so relieved. I love you all. I am so happy you are doing a more relaxed timing. You are important to this Seniors life. Also, Arise is my go to Sunday mornings then off to church. Bless you, may all of your changes become a blessed new chapter 🙏

Love you two. I trust you are doing what makes your family first! The kids are sweet and kind. Have enjoyed watching them grow. Glad you are not going away! Prayers for peace in this storm.

So grateful for you all and sharing your lives with us. You are both such an inspiration! Live your life to the fullest and we'll watch whenever! No worries from us! Love you all and God Bless!

Oh my goodness we all are so happy to see you whenever you pop on. You have blessed our lives so very much. Just don’t leave us! We love you so very much. Just let GOD continue to guide you. HE knows the plans HE has for you. GOD bless you dear ones❤️🙏

There are actually several channels that release on a schedule including Lumnah Acres, Keep Your Daydream to name two. I’m good with a random schedule but thought I’d share at least a couple channels I know with you. Some other channels started with regular and reduced the number they delivered. Another I know was releasing every Sunday AM, Eamon and Bec, but are a bit more scattered, rightfully so, after Bec went through cancer treatment. If nothing else, this gives everyone some other wonderful channels to fill the potential void. :-)

May God Bless you and your family forever and may the Lord use you two for His Glory ❤❤❤❤

You all need to do whatever works for you. You are appreciated for sharing your lives with all of us.

funny what believing there is an invisible man in the sky does to the mind of gullible people.

I am watching on Thursday, filmed on wed.

Oh yeah. I forgot about Parker and Amy!😂 I think this change will be good for us all. Prayers for the Smith family daily. Yee Yee

Hey no problem we all have lives and are busy as well! None of us have to be here and we need to get away from this too honestly.

Welcome to Louisville. The Derby will make things a little crazy. It will calm down after. Love to all.

Here in Spain is 1am and I can't watch it till tomorrow, but just the title made me sad. This is the most clean, healthy, authentic and familiar channel in all RU-vid :(. Nevertheless, like always, I just wish you the BEST cause you deserve only good things in life. God bless you, family♥️🌹

Keep making the video’s. It does not matter when or how often the videos come out. I can’t wait to see what God will continue to do in your lives. Continuing to pray God’s Blessing on your entire family.

I love the channel I hope you are keep it.

A bit of randomness can be a good thing, like a gift from God.

There are about 150 that do have set time and days too. Lol so it's ok at this point post when you can and when you want with no pressure. Lol we love alllll of them

Most of us watch when we see the notifications so its no worries if you dont post at a regular schedule. You have every right to step away or take time off from RU-vid. Sharing your family with the world is A LOT and very brave. I appreciate the inspiring content when you post!

Been here since day 1. That would be fine with me and i am sure it will be fine with everybody else.

What ever path GOD leads your Family down, just know it will be the Right path. Wether it be to stop the SMITH channel or to take a break. You have to do what’s right and best for your family!! We will love y’all still the same no matter what!! ❤

I do RU-vid as well and I have a set schedule and time and yes it’s demanding 😂 but everyone has to do what’s best for their families!

Y'all do what Y'all need to do for your family. You have the order correct. God first. Each other next. Children next. God bless

Can’t wait to see the great content. Love the Smith’s and everything you are doing!!

Do what is best for you and your family.

You are great and inspire so many people. I started watching after your son died. My granddaughter jumped in our above ground pool and my husband saved her . I give you her save love you and please always be you

Just watched this and wish I were there to give you both hugs. God Bless you keeping the channel going. For me I will watch The Smiths no matter when you put out a video. Your videos give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Much Love!!!

I'll watch the video when ever it appears.

1:57 sure they do 🙄🙄🙄 "Saying Goodbye To This Channel" "We might do 4 videos a week!" Y'all love to clickbait

I can already hear all the way from Georgia your huge exhalation from having the burden of a deadline lifted. I was going to be sad if you had canceled the channel, but I love you guys so much that I was and always will be supportive of what's best for your family. Can't wait to see what God has in store for you! Thank you for saying yes to your vocation and witness!!

So Grateful that I found your channel when I did, You all Matter To Us and for me personally, as long as you keep your channel going I’ll be Happy for you guys, living in a different country, the time your videos come out is a different time for me, I might not get to watch your videos till a few days later because my life matters and I’ve had a lot of changes happen in my life, That Matter To Me, You could say I’ve been Busy, trying to get my head around my Mum having Dementia and not coping with it very well 😢…. I have two Mothers, Two different people, yet with the same name, Two separate women, But I Love Them Both because they are Mine, the first was the Mum who chose Me and nurtured Me (My Mum and Dad adopted Me at 6 days old) and launched my career, She is the one who’s nature I bear, complete with facial expressions I wear, She gave me her Love, which follows me yet, Along with the examples in life that she set, and we’d Laugh as just Mothers and Daughters should do, and then came the time that her mind clouded so. And I sensed I knew would soon go, So quickly she changed into the Other. A stranger who in the same clothes of my mother, Oh, she looked the same, at least from arms length, But now she was the Child and I Am Her Strength, we’d come full circle, we women three, My Mother the First, the Second and Me. Sending Much Love and Blessings to You Guys for What Your Doing, as someone once said to Me, “Things Happen For A Reason” and that reason might not show itself straight away, Little River is Going To Live On Forever and So Will His Memory all because of What You Guys Are Doing NOW IN YOUR LIVES. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 from Australia 🇦🇺

The schedule is done by others on YT, but I personally watch or listen when I get time, usually same day not always. Y’all do what’s best for your family! PERIOD. We Smith watchers will adapt to it. No matter when you post The Smiths. We’re just blessed y’all are not canceling at all‼️‼️‼️‼️👏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻 Granger your more busy now then when you started your midnight Radio show. I’ve wondered how you manage it. God Bless you both and may Our Lord direct everything you do. ~ Texas
