Join us for an intimate conversation as we sit down with Amber Smith, wife of Granger Smith, a country music star who dedicated his life to ministry, as Amber opens up about their heart-wrenching journey following the tragic loss of their youngest son, River.

On June 4th, 2019, Amber's family's life changed forever when River drowned in their family pool. The devastating tragedy sent their family into a dark and painful journey, filled with grief, guilt, and criticism from the outside world. Despite his efforts to carry on with his career, Amber's husband Granger was dying inside, and Amber was trying to balance being a wife and mom...and deal with her own inexplicable grief. Little did she know how much she was going to need to lean on God, and her everlasting bond is what lifted her out of despair and led her to find purpose in her suffering.

In this episode, Amber shares her vulnerable testimony and the profound lessons she learned including the deep truths about God and faith that emerged from River's passing, navigating grief and the struggles she encountered while trying to support her family through their collective grief, and how this all shaped her newfound relationship with Christ.

Join us as we navigate Amber's touching story of her family's new life birthed out of tragedy, and how to connect to God— even when you're in your darkest season. Be prepared for an inspiring conversation filled with hope, faith, and the power of allowing God to do the heavy-lifting in your healing journey.
