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.

Episode 2 of the 9941 Podcast tackles a question many Christians quietly wrestle with: How should believers think about nicotine?  In an honest, Scripture-centered conversation, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and AntMan explore the difference between Christian freedom and spiritual slavery—asking whether substances like nicotine, caffeine, or alcohol have dominion over our lives or are simply neutral tools.

Drawing from passages like Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5, and Romans 8, the group discusses addiction, conscience, legalism, cheap grace, and the responsibility believers have not to place stumbling blocks in front of others.

The episode also features a powerful testimony of a man in Japan who came to faith through daily Scripture reading and discipleship, illustrating the heart of the 9941 mission: reaching the one and equipping the ninety-nine. The conversation closes with a clear presentation of the gospel and a reminder that true freedom is found not in self-control alone, but in Christ alone.

How Should Christians Feel About Nicotine?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/7bd7be90-9f00-4fb4-b254-b3d30149b974/transcript

Welcome to the very first episode of the 9941 Podcast—a faith-centered conversation rooted in the words of Jesus and the mission to leave the ninety-nine to find the one.

In this debut episode, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and The AntMan introduce the heart behind 9941 and explain why this podcast exists. What began as the conclusion of the Granger Smith Podcast now becomes a focused calling—discipleship over popularity, obedience over comfort, and faith over fear.

The group reflects on Granger’s decision to step away from country music, the ripple effect it had on family and business, and how God reshaped desires, priorities, and identity along the way. Tyler shares a powerful testimony of surrender after striving in his own strength, while Parker talks about transition, obedience, and trusting God through uncertainty. Together, they wrestle honestly with questions many believers face:
Is what I’m doing good—or is it pleasing to God?
Am I reaching the crowd, or the one God is calling me to?

This episode sets the spiritual foundation for the 9941 Podcast—centered on Luke 15, grounded in Scripture, and focused on authentic conversations about salvation, discipleship, trust, and following Jesus wherever He leads.

If you’re searching for a Christian podcast about faith, obedience, purpose, and real-life transformation, this episode is where the journey begins.

Was Leaving Country Music Worth It?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/28133175-02da-44bb-8644-b3cd01551503/transcript

This episode marks the end of a chapter. After more than eight years, Granger and AntMan sit down to look back on the journey of the Granger Smith Podcast, from recording early episodes on a tour bus to conversations that grew deeper through grief, faith, and personal change. They reflect on the wide range of guests, stories, and seasons that shaped the show along the way.

 

Granger shares honestly about how his life and faith have changed over the years, and how that transformation slowly reshaped the heart of the podcast. What began as stories from the road and music conversations eventually became something more personal, more serious, and more centered on pointing people to Christ. That shift brought clarity, but also an identity question about what the podcast had become.

 

By the end of the conversation, Granger explains why this episode is the final one under the Granger Smith Podcast name. But it is not an ending without hope. Instead, it is a transition into something new. The episode introduces the next chapter, a new podcast called The 9941 Podcast, built around the same heart, familiar voices, and a clear purpose to reach those who are searching. It’s a reflective, honest sendoff and an invitation to continue the journey.  

That new podcast can be found right here in this feed.  Although the name will change, your weekly podcasts will show up in the same place you've been getting the Granger Smith Podcast.
