Blake Granger speaks on his epic BKT Freestyle win at Monster Jam World Finals 24.

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.

Hi, I'm Granger Forson. You can always find me at www.bizsmart-gloucestershire.co.uk or on LinkedIn. On this episode of ScaleUp Radio, I had the pleasure of speaking with Andy Western, founder of AJW Solutions and Sam Boards.   Andy's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and remarkable innovation. From a five-million-pound management buyout falling through to starting AJW Solutions in 2007, he carved a niche in the defence and aerospace industry. Supplying the MOD within months of launching, Andy built a trusted reputation in engineering, project management, and ground support equipment.   But Andy's real pivot came when life introduced him to a new challenge — and opportunity. Inspired by the needs of autistic teenagers, he founded Sam Boards, creating sensory activity and motor skill products that were both discreet and effective. What started as 3D-printed prototypes quickly gained traction in schools, hospitals, dementia care homes, and even police custody suites, helping people manage anxiety, neurodiverse challenges, and recovery.   Today, Sam Boards products are used by 14 UK police forces, the NHS, and organisations as far away as Australia and Ukraine. Andy's journey shows how adversity — from divorce to COVID setbacks — can be turned into purpose-driven innovation with global impact.   If you're curious about creating products that solve real problems, growing businesses with integrity, and leaving a legacy of positive change, this episode will inspire and challenge you in equal measure.   To ensure you don't miss any inspirational future episodes do subscribe to ScaleUp Radio wherever you like to listen to your podcasts.   So, let's now dive into the inspiring journey of resilience, innovation, and life-changing impact with Andy Western.   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.

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.

Ever feel like you're stuck in “safe mode” on wedding days – shooting what you think you should instead of what truly lights you up?

If you're ready to break free and capture the real essence of your couples, this episode is your permission slip.I sat down with Raphaëlle Granger – documentary wedding photographer, educator, and all-around creative soul – to unpack how she ditched her safe zone, started shooting more fearlessly, and attracted dream clients who value her unique vision. Tune in to discover:Why playing it safe with your photos is holding you back and how Raphaëlle broke free to shoot with fearless creativity Mini show-and-tell: watch us break down 3 of Raphaëlle's recent wedding photos and how she got those soulful, candid shots (even when the days felt chaotic) The second shooter hack that frees you up to take risks and experiment – without missing the “safe” shots Tips to help your guests forget the camera is there so you capture genuine candids How to attract hell yes clients (and gently turn away the ones who aren't a fit)How Raphaëlle broke through her $3.5K pricing ceiling and started booking higher-paying clients who love her fearless style 

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.

#LITHAPPENSLOLIn this episode of LITHAPPENSLOL, we're diving deep into "The First Family: Drew Collins, Book Two" by Granger — and trust us, we are having a time with this series!We break down all the major moments, character arcs, and wild twists, while also drawing some surprising connections to pop culture and history — from 'Harry Potter' and 'Ned Stark' to 'Henrietta Lacks.' Whether you're a returning listener or just joining us, you're in for a thoughtful, lively discussion full of passion, curiosity, and a few laughs along the way.

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.

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.

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. It’s a conversation about criticism, conviction, and the hope that even one life changed for Christ makes it all worth it. The Granger Smith Podcast presents...

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.

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.

In this message, Pastor James discusses the interconnectedness of spiritual, mental, and physical health, drawing from Jesus' command to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength." He then examines the life of the prophet Elijah, who, despite witnessing God's power, experienced profound fear, depression, and suicidal thoughts after a major spiritual victory. James shares his own family's struggles with illness to emphasize that God is tender with us in our pain, encourages practical steps like rest and recognizing capacity limits, and highlights the importance of prayer and God's word for peace and strength amidst life's challenges.Subscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the Exodus JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

Part V of our ongoing Beatitudes sermon series.

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. Hit play and be encouraged to fix your eyes forward—because the best really is yet to come. ********************************************** 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.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

The conversation takes a powerful turn as Granger shares a story of conviction sparked by a simple sandwich shop encounter and reflects on how even our wardrobe can be a witness to the Gospel. He opens up about an upcoming mission trip to Latin America, walking listeners through a fresh sermon he’s preparing on Luke 7—where Jesus forgives a sinful woman, and how it reveals our universal need for grace and forgiveness. Later, the guys get real about movies that make them cry (from Braveheart to Old Yeller), and tackle a thought-provoking listener question about Catholic vs. Protestant doctrine—covering topics like Mary’s sinlessness, transubstantiation, and sola scriptura. Whether you’re deep in theology or just want to hear brothers laugh about Tyler skipping the show for a massage, this episode balances humor, heart, and truth beautifully. ********************************************** 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.

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? Granger and Amber sit down with Clare Morell, author of The Tech Exit and a leading voice on protecting kids from the hidden dangers of smartphones, social media, and online content. Clare shares her unique perspective as a policy expert, a pastor’s wife, and a mom of three young kids, drawing from years of research, interviews, and real-life stories. The conversation gets honest about: ➡️ Why traditional “screen time limits” and parental controls just aren’t enough ➡️ The neuroscience behind screen addiction and why moderation isn’t the answer ➡️ How screens are quietly reshaping our children’s brains, desires, and ability to enjoy real life ➡️ Shocking new research on physical health (like the rise in kids with permanent dry eye from too much screen time) ➡️ The spiritual impact of tech on our kids’ ability to know God, love others, and find real joy But it’s not just about the dangers—Clare offers practical hope. 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. Whether you’re parenting littles, wrestling with tech and teens, or just trying to find your own healthy balance, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and practical steps to take today.

It's Thursday, June 5th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Christian groups in India to speak out against persecution June 9 Christian groups across India are organizing a protest against persecution of Christians on Monday, June 9. The National Christian Front noted, “Our Christian brothers and sisters are enduring brutal attacks and growing intolerance from anti-social elements. This is not merely a Christian issue — it is a grave concern for humanity, for peace, and for the values enshrined in our Constitution.” Christians suffered over 600 incidents of violence and discrimination in India last year. The country is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of most difficult places to be a Christian. U.K. Christian groups calling for prayer on June 11 In the United the Kingdom, Christian groups are calling for a day of prayer on Wednesday, June 11 for protecting human life. This comes as lawmakers are considering bills to legalize assisted suicide.  Listen to comments from Ciarán Kelly, director of The Christian Institute.  KELLY: “This is a crucial time for our country. So, it's vital that Christians are asking the God, Who made Heaven and Earth, that He would overrule in all these things, to protect vulnerable people from this careless and callous bill.” In 1 Timothy 1:1-2, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” Trump overturns pro-abortion Biden rule In the United States, the Trump administration rescinded a pro-abortion rule on Tuesday that came from the Biden administration.  The rule tried to force hospital emergency rooms to offer abortions even if the state restricted them.  Matt Bowman, Senior Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “Doctors—especially in emergency rooms—are tasked with preserving life. The Trump administration has rolled back a harmful Biden-era mandate that compelled doctors to end unborn lives, in violation of their deeply held beliefs.” Trump raises tariffs on steel imports President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to raise tariffs on steel imports. The order doubles tariffs on steel and aluminum coming into the country from 25% to 50%. The levy will affect steel exporters in Canada, Mexico, and many countries in Europe. However, the tariff on steel from the United Kingdom remains at 25% as the U.S. and U.K. work out a trade deal.  Dust from Africa's Saharan Desert hits America Over the weekend, a massive plume of dust made its way to Florida all the way from the Saharan Desert in Africa.  Such dust plumes are known as the Saharan Air Layer and typically cross the Atlantic each year. The current plume is the biggest one to reach the U.S. so far this season. It measures nearly 2,000 miles wide and 750 miles from north to south.  The dust can diminish air quality but also creates spectacular sunrises and sunsets.  Only 1 in 100 Evangelical pastors leave ministry annually A report from Lifeway Research found that only 1 out of 100 Evangelical pastors leave the ministry each year.  This low rate has remained steady for the last 10 years despite many pastors acknowledging their work is very demanding and even overwhelming.  Scott McConnell with Lifeway Research said, “The rate of pastors departing the pastorate is steady and quite low given the demands of the role. Many of those leaving the pastorate feel they are moving at God's direction to another role of ministry.” In 2 Timothy 4:2, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” The American Miracle movie shows God's intervention in U.S. The Left insists that there's nothing special about America. But a new docudrama contends that God inspired its founding.  The American Miracle – Our Nation is No Accident hits the silver screen in 1,000 theaters nationwide for 3 days only -- Monday, June 9th through Wednesday, June 11th. Inspired by Michael Medved's bestseller, this exciting, entertaining, and edifying motion picture experience was created in anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.  ‘ Medved appeared on The 700 Club. MEDVED: “America is no accident. All of our most important leaders, from Washington to Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt -- all of our leaders have understood that America has a divine purpose.” Consider God's protection of George Washington – the Father of our Country -- in a ferocious battle in 1755 during the French and Indian War. During the Battle of Monongahela, 69 of 70 officers were either killed or wounded. Washington was the only officer who was not shot off his horse.  In fact, two horses were shot from underneath him. Yet he lived. Even a Native American chief later said they couldn't touch Washington. Shockingly, after the battle, he found numerous bullet holes in his jacket and bullet fragments in his hair, but he was miraculously unscathed. No wonder they called him “Bulletproof.”  Visit the website https://americanmiraclemovie.com/, watch the trailer, click on Tickets, and type in your zipcode to get tickets for next week at a theater near you. Watch the trailer. Worldview listener in Florida speaks up On Wednesday, I was delighted to receive 23 emails at Adam@TheWorldview.com about what listeners enjoy about this newscast. Amy Cool from St. Cloud, Florida wrote, “I like that I can trust The Worldview newscast to report the truth from a Biblical perspective. I like the Scriptures referenced as they pertain to a particular story because it shows the relevance of the Bible to our life today. That's often hard for people to see when they haven't grown up in a home where the Bible was read or explained.” 14 Worldview listeners gave $1,420 to fund our $123,500 annual budget Toward this week's $30,875 goal to fund one-fourth of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this Friday, June 6th, 14 listeners stepped up to the plate on Wednesday by 7:15pm Central last night.  Our thanks to Grace in Duncanville, Texas, Greg in Rochester, New Hampshire, Andy in Santa Barbara, California, and George in Carrollton, Missouri – each of whom gave $25.

This week on the Granger Smith Podcast, Granger sits down with Joshua Gunderson, a former Air Force fighter pilot with an incredible story—from flying F-22 Raptors to patrolling the skies over Alaska and the Middle East. They swap memories about meeting on a USO tour in Anchorage, the wild moments that followed (including a close call with a massive earthquake), and what it’s really like pulling nine G’s at twice the speed of sound. But it’s more than just “Top Gun” stories. Joshua opens up about the realities of military life: the pressure, the split-second decisions, and how faith, family, and near-miraculous moments shaped his journey both in and out of the cockpit. Granger and Joshua dive deep into life’s big questions, wrestling with the problem of evil, the meaning of legacy, and how faith can hold up—even when life throws the unthinkable your way. They get honest about loss, gratitude, and what it means to live with purpose—especially for the next generation. Whether you’re into aviation, military stories, or just a good, heartfelt conversation about life, you won’t want to miss this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, Granger sits down with pastor and author David Platt for a deep, honest conversation about something every believer wrestles with: How do you actually hear the voice of God? David unpacks why the Bible is unlike any other book, how it’s not just a rulebook but a personal love letter from God, and how reading it transforms the way we live, pray, and relate to others. They dive into practical steps for making Bible reading more than a checkbox—how to meditate on Scripture, memorize it, apply it, pray it, and share it with others. David shares stories from his own life (including how his “taste buds” for God’s Word have changed over the years), and Granger opens up about the struggles we all face with consistency and distraction. Whether you’re a brand-new Christian or you’ve been in church all your life, this episode will encourage you to rethink your approach to God’s Word, pursue real intimacy with Jesus, and experience the life you were created for. Plus, there’s a powerful challenge at the end about leaving a legacy of faith—one day and one verse at a time. Plus, check out David's new book How To Read The Bible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week singer-songwriter Ben Fuller shares his powerful journey from a broken upbringing in Vermont to finding redemption in Jesus Christ. Raised on a dairy farm without faith, Ben turns to alcohol and drugs to cope with deep emotional wounds. After losing his best friend to an overdose, he pursues music and moves to Nashville, where early success at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge deepens his struggles. Everything changes when a family invites him to church, leading to a radical encounter with Jesus in 2019. Ben is baptized and immediately leaves behind his addictions and old lifestyle. Since then, his music and life center on proclaiming the Gospel. He tours with major Christian artists, finds accountability through a Christ-centered community, and commits to regular Bible reading and prayer. In their conversation, Granger encourages Ben to stay rooted in Scripture, reminding him that storms will come but Christ remains steady. Ben now lives with the simple prayer: "Here I am, Lord. Send me," faithfully using his voice — and his life — to point others to Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
