• The Islamic Invasion Is Coming!

  This week, Granger sits down with Mike Cheon, a South Korean missionary whose life and faith have taken him from Seoul to the mountains of Afghanistan, and now to church planting in Canada. Together, they talk about what’s being called an “Islamic invasion” and why fear often drives the way Christians view immigration and Islam. But Mike offers a radically different perspective — one that sees these moments not as threats, but as opportunities for the gospel. Through powerful stories of his years living among Afghan families, the loss and near loss of his own children, and the cries of a mother mourning her baby in the rubble of war, Mike reminds us of what it means to see every person as made in the image of God. He shares how lament and worship have opened doors in places where sermons never could, and how the church’s response to suffering can be its greatest witness. It’s a moving conversation about faith without fear, compassion over politics, and what it truly means to love our neighbors — even those we’ve been taught to fear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• How Do You Move Forward After Suicide?

  In this emotional second Q&A episode, Granger and the team tackle two powerful listener questions — one about sharing faith with a friend who’s seen tragedy up close, and another from a man wrestling with the trauma of witnessing a friend’s suicide. Granger offers raw, biblical wisdom about suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty — from why bad things happen to good people, to finding purpose in unimaginable pain. This episode dives deep into everyday evangelism, the problem of evil, and what it means to trust God when logic can’t explain everything. 💬 Got a question for the next Q&A?

• "The GMA Dove Awards is NOT Christian!"

  In this week’s episode of Granger Smith Reacts, Granger dives into a bold take from worship leader Jeremy Riddle — who’s calling for a total overhaul of Christian award shows. 👀 From “the Dove Awards aren’t Christian” to “what would Jesus’ award show look like?”, this one sparks a deep (and funny) conversation about faith, music, and fame. Granger shares his own behind-the-scenes experience with award shows — the red carpets, the awkward dinners, and why he despised them — while wrestling with the big question: Can we really celebrate faith the same way the world celebrates fame? 💭 Expect honest reflections, biblical wisdom, and the usual Granger humor as we unpack how the kingdom of God might hand out trophies… if it ever did. 👉 Watch Episode 1 here if you missed it: https://youtu.be/80OJ1pIuWAc 🎙 Subscribe for more faith-filled reactions every week!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• Sharing This Could Get Me Canceled!

  This week, Granger and AntMan dive into one of the most debated topics in American Christianity today — Christian nationalism. The phrase is used everywhere, but few agree on what it actually means. Is it simply loving your country, or is it trying to merge faith and politics into one? Granger and AntMan unpack the confusion by looking at the history, definitions, and different viewpoints surrounding the movement. As they talk through how patriotism can cross the line into idolatry, Granger reflects on his own story — from singing songs about America to learning what it means to put Christ above every national or political identity. Together, they explore how cultural pride, fear, and comfort can quietly pull believers away from the gospel, even when the intentions seem good. Throughout the episode, the conversation stays grounded in Scripture. Granger and AntMan remind listeners that God’s kingdom isn’t tied to a flag or a political system, and that Christians are called to live with humility and love in whatever nation they’re placed. It’s an honest and needed discussion about faith, country, and where our true allegiance belongs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers!

  It’s the very first Friday Q&A on the Granger Smith Podcast! Granger and AntMan dive into your listener emails and tackle some real, thought-provoking questions from the community. This week, a campus minister writes in about tensions with church leadership over differing worldviews — from Taylor Swift fandom to cultural ideology — and asks how to respond with both grace and truth. Granger shares biblical perspective on when it might be time to lovingly part ways and how to do it with peace and humility. Then, another listener asks whether churches should preach verse-by-verse or focus on modern issues like politics and culture. Granger unpacks the difference between expository preaching and topical teaching, explaining how faithful teaching always starts with Scripture — not the other way around. If you’ve ever wrestled with how to stand firm in truth while living out grace, this episode will challenge and encourage you. 📧 Send your questions to: [email protected] 🎙️ Watch every Friday for more listener Q&As!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
