- Granger Smith Podcast Episode 186: I see this so many times on my podcast where the person emailing might need to hear what we need to say more than the person they're asking about. Join my buddy Bernie and I as we talk about this topic and more on this week's podcast episode!

Yay, Bernie is back!!!👏 Thank you both for taking the time. Looking forward to the live face-to-face podcast. Blessings to all!❤🙏
Thank you so much and today I am so thankful for Bernie and his words. Please pass on my thanks.
Wow! I loved how you answered the last gentleman’s question. Very powerful words Granger. Your honesty/wisdom is so genuine ❤
Loved the podcast!! You both are awesome. Such great insight and perspectives. Yes for a live podcast!! Houston, Austin, Georgetown!!!! ❤
Love your podcast,just one note: instead of I’ll pray for you tonight,let’s pray now!
Great thought!
For the last guy, I am not surprised to hear that your brother doesn't talk much about his time in combat. That's not unusual. A lot of folks in his situation don't really know how to talk to others about what they've been through and are still going through because most of us who love them can't really relate because we've never been in a situation quite like theirs. I get the anger, the tears, the frustrations. It's not usual that God gets blamed or questioned after something like that. We can't fix that problem for them, but we can be a light for them. We can show them the love of God, even if they aren't ready to receive it. We can do our best to be there for them and walk patiently through this with them, and we can do our best to be a consistent example of what it's like to live as a sinner saved by grace, God's Grace. Time and consistent love, coupled with fervent and consistent prayer, are our best tools here.
I replied up top. I do do all of those things . I think a lot of this gets lost in translation through a email. Thank you for your words , very helpful
Just want to pop in and tell you what a great job both you and Amber are doing...esp. for younger Christians and non-believers. You are reaching a younger generation with truth and honesty. As a grandma, I want to thank you both for that. Our younger folks need hope...they need Jesus. God bless you all!
REALLY, AFTER THAT LAST JUDGEMENT????……….
Face-to-face podcast in PHX Arizona!!! Love this podcast. Thanks for all the amazing episodes every week!
Granger, you're on fire, our Heavenly Father is truly using you.
A suggestion for the young man wanting a relationship. In addition to what the guys said, start praying for the woman who will come into your life. You may not know her....yet, but God does.
Great episode today. Lots of good stuff to chew on, wrestle with, for a while. Love it when Bernie is on. One thing, James is the half-brother of Jesus. Same mother, different father.
People hate the fact that Mary didn't just give birth to Jesus. She was a normal woman people. She was just the one chosen to be the vessel. She was nobody, but God used her to make the Somebody!.
I would love to hear a podcast about those who have emailed back.
To the first person who is looking for a spouse, I’m don’t think I would call you desperate. I would say that you need to be more balanced in your thinking, as I believe Granger said. On one hand, I have never been married and I would never want to be thought of as a person’s goal to accomplish. You might want to rethink that. Seeking a spouse should be about the potential relationship, not solely about the state of being married. With that said, I have to ask myself how actively searching for a mate is any different than actively searching for a job or anything else in life. I’m in my 40s and I often feel like we hold singles to a higher standard than we do other people. Usually, if a married couple can’t have a biological child, we don’t tell them to simply be content and wait on God. We applaud them for adopting or going through IVF, etc. If a person wants to advance in their job, we don’t tell them to simply be patient and wait. We encourage them to go get more training or to find a job where there could be advancement opportunities. I think it is absolutely fine to actively pursue a potential spouse, as long as you are pursuing women who follow after God‘s heart. Do not pursue a woman who is not saved. Do not pursue a woman who is already in a marriage relationship. Do not pursue a woman who does not share your values or your desire to please God . These are the types of things I believe you need to be concerned about. I believe that even in this day and age, it is the man’s responsibility to initiate a potential relationship so you do need to do something. Just keep a good balance of doing what you can, but also, trusting God with the results and not rebelling if God either doesn’t give you a spouse at all, or if it takes much longer than you think it should.
A LIVE podcast would be awesome. Like you, I wonder how honest people would be.🤣
You have encouraged me to step out and ask for prayer for my grand daughter, Meredith. She is in her 20’s and going in a wrong direction.
I will not give up and let satan have his way. Prayer changes things and I’m standing on God’s promises.
Yes live questions would be amazing I would show up and Illinois and Wisconsin
Question 1. How about chase after God with heart and see who is also running after Christ next to you. If you Love God she should as well. Put God first in all things. With Him you can do all things, With out Him you can do No-thing.
🌻Good Mornin' SunShine🌻Much Love Fuggin'🌻
Through the lense of the Bible. I love that reference! Definitely caught me, bible goggles! 😊
I am the emailer from the last question. I never intended to say I was on a higher level or scale than anyone. I meant I seek God everyday, I pray, I’ve knelt at the cross and fully understand the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. I’m not sure how you were led to believe otherwise. My brother doesn’t care about religion much, he may or may not even believe in God, so I would say we are at different levels of faith. his rebuttal to my advice is why would God allow such tragedy. I know what to tell him but I’m just little bro to him and it doesn’t carry much weight. I do lead by example as he has seen me dedicate so much time and effort to a 12 step program and change my entire life around. (I am 2.5 yrs sober in recovery) The email was not about me. I thought if I shared your response and he heard you, a polarizing figure in Christianity and in music say the same things I do that maybe his ears would open a little more. (Isn’t that the purpose of your new journey?)
Instead i was told that I am
Not a Christian and I’m not going to heaven. I’m left speechless hearing that. I did not know trying to help a loved one made me a non Christian and undeserving of heaven. I would be embarrassed to share this video with him now. I appreciate your honesty and I feel dumb for making myself vulnerable on such a large platform. Speaking of honesty, if we were half as judgmental in AA as you were today I don’t think we would save a single alcoholic or addict and the seats would be empty , I would consider that in your next sermon on stage. Also a few episodes ago a woman asked about her devil worshiping son and he got defended more than I did ! Very confusing. Id love to chat more About it on the phone or have me as a live guest via FaceTime. After what you had to say I’m guessing you wouldn’t be interested in that. I worked my tail off today making those blue collar dollars and came home to feel shamed by one of my hero’s. Either way God bless and good luck on your journey In ministry. -Dan
😢
Maybe he did not quite understand your question? I think I did, and it was not answered. Sorry. He did say he loves you..♥️
One of the biggest problems with a forum like this is that it's very easy for misunderstandings to happen. I think this is what happened here. I think an in-person conversation would have gone very differently. Remember that Granger and Bernie are just men, fallible men. You will often hear them say that their responses could be wrong, especially because they're giving their responses off the cuff. I appreciate you being vulnerable enough to write in, and then also being vulnerable enough to put yourself out here again. I think I understand where Granger was going with his response, but I would have gone a different direction with mine, like the one you saw that I posted earlier. The most important thing that you need to remember here is that each of us has our own journey with God. Please continue to pray and study the Bible to determine what God has commanded each of us to do as His children. I wish you the best in your journey ahead, and I also hope things will turn around for your brother. Some paths take longer to travel, and we don't know the end yet. I write to you as someone who is just a sinner saved by grace.
@@bowed305 I would say you are probably correct , however I could never find it in my heart to tell another human that they aren’t going to heaven. So maybe my take away here is like you said that these guys are just men and I shouldn’t put anyone on a pedestal bc they are famous. Appreciate your reply ❤️
@@deniseterrell2515thank you ❤️I’m not sure how it got turned on me
Cone to Austin! I'd attend.
Exciting! I would show up!
I’m so glad I was raised in a Baptist church. Even went to Sunday school. I’m thankful I went at such a young age so know I don’t fall for that bullshit as an adult.
I am a single mom and I am absolutely terrified to date. I had a bad dream not too long ago. In my dream, I was on a date with this type of individual. We got into an argument at the restaurant because I wouldn’t call him by his pronouns and then he called me cis. That is one of my biggest fears at this point not only for my sake but for any man that I decide to let around my kids wayyyyyy down the road.
You're good. Boys don't bite. He careful choose wisely. Go out in the world and meet people. Avoid dating sites if you want something serious. Dating sites are just for fun time so don't waste your time.
@@Science-bi8dp yep I agree I will not get back on another dating site, or go to bars. All I ever do anymore is go to soccer practices and games, work and go home and sometimes the grocery store lol
Seek ye first the kingdom heaven!
As always, great job all you have done for us. Thank you
Fortunately, I don’t need spiritual approval from prophets for profit.
Took the words right out my mouth dude
@@IHaveBeesInMyEars he has converted guilt to ego and now he thinks he is God’s avatar with the power to decide who is saved and who is going to heaven and to top it off, he insists on being paid for it
@@jtangel98 That's messed up. I hadn't heard about him until today but he sounds exactly like the Pharisee's. This is the only video I've seen from him and he immediately rubbed me the wrong way. Thanks for telling me
@@IHaveBeesInMyEars I’ve been a fan for years. This conversion/rebrand is new and I was very happy for him but this particular video has made me fear the worst. As soon as man thinks he can speak for Christ and shepherd the flock, he has confused his ego with God.
@@jtangel98 Good on you for not just blindly following. Any preacher who knows anything should be able to say that we aren't even fit to judge ourselves, let alone another person. To tell someone that their faith is fake, is actively putting out the flame of the spirit.
Live on TH-cam I hope? Yes please. 🙏
That was deep.
I would love for you guys to have a live podcast. I would definitely tune in.
Thanks Granger and Bernie for another great Monday podcast. As usual you have given us plenty to think about. Good stuff!!
Your music, your fellowship, y’all are on the right path. Relate, similarities, common ground will your fellowships direction. Amazing Grace Fellas
Good Morning!! YEE YEE
Question: your thoughts on alien’s and what Christians believe? Should we or shouldn’t we? The whole ufo thing is being shoved down our throats these days. Thank you for this beautiful podcast and willingness to help. ❤
The Bible doesn’t say anything about aliens……. So it’s up to you to decide if you believe or not.
You're good. Ufo are ARTIFICAL life mankind created billions of years ago. Slave PILOTS. Like a coffee Battista. Nothing exciting. We have been here 4billlion years. We made the stars and the moon. Memories long forgotten. Nonalien will hurt us. They fear us because we made them slaves. We made monkeys too as slaves. It didn't work out
Demonic. They will probably use this to explain the disappearing of mass amounts of people, the Rapture.
Cool respect
Are you going to continue doing after midnight
Dig in and go find out your self! Put on the lense of the Bible. Awesome.
"Put the Lens of the Bible on" that's good!
Anna Marie why haven't you came to visit me??? Ik ik the show has been keeping you to busy!?!? But come visit the farm!!!!!!!!
Unashamed brother!
your work page your record label call Grandpa George
Judging is for God to do not 2 dudes on a random podcast because if we're being honest it doesn't matter what you think or feel because you & God are the only thoughts that count.. you can be saved without ever even stepping foot in a church church doesn't save you God does.. the man who died on the cross beside Jesus was a murderer everyone probably "thought" he was going to hell but Jesus saved him before he died
Read my reply and see what you think . Thanks -Dan
Agree their I feel bad for the mom to
How do you no if your a or b.
Like Bernie is A
I wanted to see what I am please help
❤🙏🏻
He can’t help his brother if he doesn’t know and love Jesus his self.
I don’t understand in my email where anyone got the impression that I don’t love Jesus myself-Dan
Ya cause mom it's not her fault
❤❤❤✝️
2:27...that's desperate and you're not leaning on God's timing. You are actively searching for a mate, and you don't care if that's God's plan for your life or not. God gives us what we need...most of the times that is not what we think we want, or when we think we want it. He's teaching you patience and He wants you to seek Him. He will bring you the desires of your heart but you have to stop trying to make it happen on your time. It's in God's control. Trust and Pray. God bless you.
FAITH WITH WORKS IS A SWEET SMELL
“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”-and he was called a friend of God. For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.”
James 2:14-18, 20-23, 26
“And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?””
Luke 18:7-8
ABIDING
HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE
ABIDING
IF NOT … YOU ACHIEVE NOT
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.”
John 15:4-6
Shalom
❤️❤️❤️❣️🥰
Granger, after that last answer, I don’t believe your a Christian!!!!!! You FOR SURE JYST PASSED JUDGEMENT
I haven't even heard all what Granger said, but I dont have to in order to know what you just said is ridiculous. If you can't, as a Christian, judge between right and wrong, truth and lies, sin and righteousness, you are in big, big, *biiiiiiiig* trouble.
You do understand that you just did what you accused Granger of doing, right? You passed judgement about him passing judgement. Does this mean that you are not a Christian because of what you have done?
@@bowed305 and that right there is the downfall of every single "you can't judge anybody ever" Christian that ever was.
@@dananderson6697 True!
@@dananderson6697 Also, judgement is never actually condemned in the Bible. Hypocritical/unfair judgement is, but righteous judgement is something we are actually told to do. In fact, we have to make judgement to determine what we should and shouldn't believe in light of God's Word.
Seems hard to be offended by an individual who is still attempting to serve himself by "serving the lord".
Oooof..... one of the biggest sins you can make is questioning SOMEONE ELSE'S faith.
This Paganism masquerading as Christ-like has gotten so foul. You folks have gotten so foul.
I'm curious, where do you get this hierarchy of sins that says one sin is bigger than another?
Who told you that questioning one’s acts is sinful? Actually we are to know a person based on the fruits they bear. It’s a misconception that we can’t.
The apostles Paul and Peter did a good job of questioning people's faith; Jesus certainly did. He called the Pharisees white-washed tombs. That was not a compliment! Any pastor who preaches salvation on a Sunday morning in a church filled with presumably Christian people questions people's faith. Anyone who is a missionary whose job is to share the gospel questions people's faith. I don't believe there is anywhere in the Bible that says questioning someone's faith is a sin. What would be a sin is to deal with someone else's lack of faith without addressing our own lack of faith (if we lack it).
49:38 it's true that there is no scale of belief, but we are *not* all wretched. We are inherently flawed and imperfect mortals, but we are born and live our entire lives that way, irrespective of what God we pray to or none at all. That does not make us "wretched" and "undeserving" of salvation, if it even exists.
I don't disabuse you or anyone of their faith, but I wish you'd stop regurgitating this emotionally and intellectually *limiting* philosophy that we are all inherently and intrinsically bad people. You can claim that's not what you're trying to do. But synonyms for "wretch", per Google, are "villain", "criminal", "good-for-nothing", "scumbag", "rat", "pig", "snake", "lowlife" and "swine", among many others.
If being those negative things is a product of our mere existence, than God doesn't get to pat himself on the back for loving us anyway. He *MADE* us that way. He could have very well made it so no one is that way. To speak to my own spirituality (raised Catholic), I vividly recall my grandma making a scene after Saturday afternoon mass because they played "Amazing Grace" and she objected to the word "wretch" ("that saved a wretch like me") being invoked in a place of worship. I never bothered to ask her why she was so up in arms. But years later, I imagine perhaps she took some of the same issue I have with that kind of language.
It is very limiting and, in my estimation, psychologically damaging to deprecate yourself as a "wretch" while uncritically exalting the Creator who *made* you that way. Again, God doesn't get to pat himself on the back for loving imperfect "wretches" that he made/allowed to be imperfect "wretches." If anything, I'd say *God* is the one obligated to show love and mercy, because it is utterly unfair to condemn inherently imperfect beings for their imperfections. It's also unfair to subject them to suffering that's not their fault. I'm not summarily saying I subscribe to the mindset of the combat vet i.e. "why did God let my friends burn to death?" but I 100% empathize and understand why and how he got to that place.
It's perfectly normal and human for us to imagine if a life beyond this one exists, and if so, what form it takes. But I think pondering such things is so overwhelmingly beyond our capacity to understand, even if we wanted to. If you're worried about getting into Heaven, not going to hell and being forgiven of your sins, just love your neighbor and do the right thing. Place all the importance in the world on your faith in the process. But at some point, you gotta calm it tf down and stop treating yourself like this dirtball who doesn't deserve compassion.
The Bible was created by the evil ones to control you with powerless beliefs. All of us are light beings here now just for the experience as this form of human. God mean Geometric oscillation Dielectric and we are all gods and goddesses with a fractal from source. We all are immortal and can never die as light beings. Always go within not outside of yourself.
Jesus’s name was Yeshua and was just a man like us . He was here for the Ascension that happens every 2000 years, we are in an Ascension right now. You guys seem like good guys but the Bible has duped many people including me until I learned of the trickery. Cheers!
Uhhhhhh……No.
The very fact that you said evil people wrote the Bible disqualifies your satement. Matt 12:26
You make powerful claims here. Where is your documentation to back up these claims?
