- Granger Smith Podcast Episode 230: In this heartfelt question from an anonymous viewer, we delve into the struggles of a Christian wife facing difficult revelations about her husband's behavior. After a men's encounter, he confesses to engaging in pornography and even drinking while driving. Despite her initial acceptance without nagging, she now faces the challenge of confronting the issue as she notices signs of alcoholism. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance between faith, confronting difficult truths, and seeking support within the church community. Remember, even within the church, individuals may grapple with personal demons, and it's crucial to address them with empathy and understanding.

Love your perspective on stay at home mothers. I had my son in 2016, left my job and never went back. He’s never been in a daycare, preschool or public school. We’ve homeschooled and he’s going into 2nd grade. Best decision I have ever made. No regrets. ❤❤
We didn't have much cause I stayed home with my two sons. I'm a firm believer in the mother staying home with the children. At least till they start school.
The best thing a kid can have is a mama and a daddy. I thank God every day I had them. Great episode! Yee Yee
I love your answer for Nathaniel. What hope and tough love you gave him. A relationship with Jesus changes everything 😊 you will learn to hate the sin
YeeYee loved it! Exactly what I needed to have reinstated today! Stay strong and stay True
I really enjoyed the opening today 😅 you such a great story teller! I could really see you chasing that dog and chicken!❤
What a ride this was thank you everyone for being so open
Excellent advice to the gentleman who asked about this “new relationship”. Absolutely need to get your relationship with God first. Find complete peace, joy and contentment in being single, while working on yourself. People often talk about Proverbs women. They miss the portion of Proverbs that talks about the part of the scripture re: men. Please, anonymous, get into a good church, build your relationship with God, find contentment in being alone w God, then, pray for and about the woman God ordains FOR you.
Hi Granger, may the Lord bless you from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! Thanks for sharing this episode!
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions today. Appreciate you.
We lost my dear sister in law in her depression alcoholism she tragically took her own life but she had previous family trouble and her 18 and 15 year old children broke her heart and she left right after that. It still hurts we couldn't save her and love her enough, she couldn't feel our love for her. Good news is 2 yrs later BIL has found another special Christian woman to share life with.
This is so refreshing to hear a man of God give a straight answer
I'm a stay at home mom my self me and my husband talked about it before we had kids and decided I would stay at home and take care of the house ,laundry,and the kids when that time came I did work up until that point ...I didn't want someone else raising my babies if their with me I know their taken care of ❤❤❤❤❤
Until your life has been affected by pornography, you have no idea how evil, how painful and destructive it is. It’s a tsunami that is hitting and destroying our culture and especially our churches-with pastors being very prevalent consumers of porn. Unfortunately when a family member struggled with this, the research I did was very shocking and eye opening. When 40% of men of faith engage regularly with porn, we’re in big trouble.
Wonderful podcast. My first time watching since your interview with Ed Mylett. Whew. Blew me away! Keep at it, brother! Off the wall question- what kind of camera do you use for filming your podcasts like this one?
I feel you gandles these situations as a true friend would when faced with a friends fight. ❤❤
I had a girl friend we where together for 7 years and years after we broke up she told me her mom is a drunk we had no clue. Her mom work for the cops as a 911 person she had to go too the cop shop for work every day. So we didn't know but we didn't see her a lot. We where gone all the time.
She was going to school to be a nurse. Not a teacher.
@grangersmith Where can we get the hat that you're wearing for this podcast? is it an old release or a sneak peek? I need it!!
Also keep up the good work and God bless you and your family! I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we are so proud of you and praying for you often!
#YEEYEEFOREVER!
I think if the mom can stay home with the kids that is always the best choice. I was never given this option and you are right - the time goes by so fast. I wish we had a video of the chicken chase!! lol
I love you reminding us women to pray for our husbands. So important. Amber reminds us often as well. ❤
What an amazing way to end this podcast. Point people to Jesus and the cross. What an amazing hope we have in Jesus sacrifice for us.
Not a motherly mother in in my family
You will never ever ever regret staying home. Some want to desperately and are unable to and it’s heart breaking. Trust me.
Let’s go!!!

John 3:16
Farther down the road here at 67. With regard to women working outside the home. Go back to the Bible. A lot of what you said was good stuff, but respectfully, your opinion. How about telling them to pray about it, seek wise counsel and then do what they sense God has told them to do. There are so many different situations, God may have a plan that looks different than you’ve imagined. Then, we can encouraged each other to do what God has called them to do. For example that mom is called to nursing, how about Christian women who are called to be home and are good at that help with her children. We all have different gifts and different callings. But we all are also called to encourage each other. I saw a lot of Christian stay at home moms who were prideful about that and judgy instead of encouraging.
❤❤❤❤
Both Jamie a firefighter and his wife a nursing student should be entitled to student loan forgiveness.
While I agree to a certain extent this is such a misogynist view
Eli didn't say they were divorced yet. He said she left him. That may not be his kid. I say get a DNA test.
Eli should get a paternity test for sure.

About Nathanial i believe you should just first of all before church just pray to Jesus !!! Granger is correct but church wont save you but ONLY Faith and REPENTANCE will save you that’s asking FORGIVENESS of your sins from a man who has already payed it all his name is Jesus!The Bible says Ask and ye shall receive ask in Jesus name❤️ John 16:23-24
Everything you said it the first 17 minutes, is complete BS. Just because you aren’t nurturing to young children, doesn’t mean other fathers aren’t and there is no guarantee that every mother is fully nurturing. It is individual, I certainly have seen it both ways. Geez…. who elected you to any judgement on anyone’s life?
The caption is deep. Something I've personally messaged amber about in my own family. ❤️🩹
