Granger, I could not agree more about finding joy in the suffering. This past year has been the hardest year of my life while I suffered the loss of my marriage and doing everything I can to get it back. Even in the times where everything felt right in my circumstances, I always felt something missing. It wasn’t until I was in the midst of suffering I experienced pure joy at times I didn’t expect it. God is so good. What an amazing Father we have. God bless y’all. Fellow Texan and Austinite here as well. 🇨🇱
“My Grandpa let me steer, I still hear, both hands on the wheel” Brings back great memories of me and my gramps. The line gives me chills every time I hear the song...love it man! Love you guys! 🎈💙
God never promised us an easy life, What he did promise us is that he will be beside us every step of the way. Knowing and believing that he is there with us gives us the strength to endure and survive the tough times.
Thank you Hap. The bible says that God will never give us more than we can handle, just for the mere fact that it says we should pass our burdens to him and trust in him that he is bigger than all worldly problems.
This message is exactly what I needed to hear. My husband and I were in the Las Vegas shooting and have been having a hard time. I have been feeling stuck and was drinking too much. Recently decided to quit drinking and get away from social media so much, realizing that I wasn't healing, needing to just sit with the pain and mourn, like REALLY mourn...the loss of the old reality..scared that I will never feel real joy again. I have prayed all throughout this time and really needed this. Thank you. The prayer at the end was awesome and the YEEYEE at the end was the best one I have ever heard.
Becky ... joy will return. If you have never heard it, please listen to Before the Morning by Josh Wilson. God has a purpose and a plan for your life. Draw nearer to Him and you will feel His presence more and more. You got this !
The Smiths family is one amazing family. You can see the love that they all have for each other. Great video like always. Rivers legacy will live on forever. ❤️
Thank you for keeping the main thing the main thing and using your platform to point to Him rather than making it all about yourselves and making your own name famous. Thank you for standing strong in your faith and letting your light shine in the darkness. Bless you, Smith family!
The Prayer at the end gave me tears. I remember I was prayed for by a fellow US Air Force member and I completely broke down. I will never forget that moment. Thank You Smith Family
I work in oncology and this week after hearing that her cancer is back my patients husband said “honey are you ok?” and after just hearing devastating news she grabbed his hand and said “Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful” That will stick with me forever and be how I look at life situations from now on
Granger and Amber are like the most inspirational and don’t be around the bush people I’ve ever seen. They teach in the words they use and let it known for all age groups the way it is in life. Definitely are amazing people and a beautiful family. God bless them both and bring them more brighter days 🙏
All kinds of emotions running through me right now. Aside from all of the wonderful family videos you have shared, this one is probably my most favorite. So much inspiration here. I love everything about you all. Beautiful beautiful family that puts God first. It doesn't get any better than that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys got it. You got that God comes FIRST. Through your grief, God is shinning brightly through you. What a blessing this was to me, thank you. I continue to hold you in my prayers, my heart.
This video is a perfect example of why country music is so much more than music. It is people like you and Thomas Rhett and many more that are not afraid to show their faith in a world where people shame others for being strong with and who are willing to share their faith. Country music is something I myself keep falling back on when something isn’t right in my life. So thank you so much!
Amen!! What great way to address our suffering! I needed to watch this vlog today, and at this very moment. I myself have been dealing with physically, emotionally and mental suffering for about 8 months. Holding tightly to God's promises that he will heal me in this New Year!! Believe and trust in His plan. Blessings to you all!
Such a testimony for all of us to learn from. Thank ya’ll for being leaders in this community. Y’all are helping all of us raise our kids. We love y’all!
So great to see how humble and God fearing your family is. Also a great testement and example for your children and all of us that giving up a "night of glitz and glamor" you chose to bring a message to the younger generation of Hope and perseverance. Bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏 Yee Yee!
Because of this episode, I went to church for the first time in over a decade. I wasn't invited by anyone but God. I Googled churches near me and I went. By myself. Let me tell you, there is a reason that I was supposed to be there. God reminded me that even though I forgot about Him, he has never left my side. Thank you for showing me that I need Him in my life! I can't thank you enough. I will be making some great changes in my life and making time for worship
YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR ME! I quit a job yesterday that I loved . I'm a RN who takes care of mentally I'll pts with all realms of problems. I did not like the value system, or the way pts were treated at this facility . But I made a decision based on my inner instincts I felt God was telling me. I was quiet, I listened and I turned in my resignation. I woke up today a questioning if i did the right thing. I saw your video ( I'm subscribed) and Not only did God speak through you , but it validated ....I made the right decision . He will find the right place for me in this world , and with that i feel JOY ! I love you guys , Let's Rock and Roll to new beginnings ! livelikeRiv.
I love y’all. Thankful we get to be a part of your family. It’s harder and harder to live and show our faith but you all do it so gracefully. It’s such an inspiration.
So when I saw the photo you shared of you kissing Riv and I saw all of the families commenting that they had lost a child too, I couldn't help but tear up and think how amazing it is that in your time of hurt you are able to minister to others. And using your platform to share your faith just cemented for me what an amazing family you are. Thank you for being so open and raw, it's in those moments that connections are made and lives are affected and changed. ❤️ Still holding your family in prayer.
Because of yall I have start to pray so much more. I have downloaded the bible on my phone. In the morning I say the pray a d at night. I work at a school where the kids dont have much. There are a lot of poor families. And I know that the meals the get from us may only be the only ones they get. And after all the kids get there lunch I pray that have get the food they need and the love they need. I know god has put me there to be there for there. So thank you for giving me the strength to come back to god and know he had a plan for me.
Ever since June I have put y’alls names on the prayer rolls at my church. We pray for y’all every week. Thank you for every thing y’all have done here on The Smith’s. I’ve been a fan of Granger’s since “We do it in a field” I stumbled upon Amber’s Instagram about a year ago. My family has been going through a lot of hard stuff and starting the smiths was an answer to my prayers, every episode reminds me of what a family can be, it restores my faith in God and family! It tore my world apart to see y’all suffering. Thank you for keeping on and still allowing us to see into your world! I’m not sure I could not have made it through that last year with out y’all. Thank you so so much! Yee Yee!!
U guys really made me think tonight....we' r really right down the highway from u guys....yee yee...my husband works for Williamson county ..sheriff's deputy...and we have kinda for the past year stopped going to church...I love him he loves me and we love our son and want him to grow up in a church environment...some things just happened and we stopped going...we both feel like we have been needing a place to restore our faith..thank u for re enforcing that....much much love to u both...U are absolutely two amazing beautiful people raising some beautiful kiddos!!!
Wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing and being bold about your faith. Too many people hide their light under a bushel basket. It is so wonderful to see you letting your light shine and inspiring others to do the same. Thank you for such amazing testimony! I was a fan of Granger and the Smiths before. Now, even more!Praying for you guys!!!
You two are what strength is.... even in your very darkest hour you are the light he intended you to be. Sending so much love and true appreciation for all you do. You both have impacted my life in a way you may never understand. My heart and prayers are with you always.
Oh how you helped and touched my heart tonight. I have suffered from the death of my husband and I am striving so hard to have Joy in my life again. I am a Christian and I know where my Joy comes from,only if I accept it from my Lord. You have no idea how your explanation of happy and JOY opened my heart to accept the gift of Joy from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you all so much for sharing your heart and lives with us-you have no idea how God is using you to bless everyone out there! I pray you will touch several lives... I loved Amber's purse/bag with the Bible verses and 'livlikeriv' message....so precious. I really enjoy and look forward to watching The Smiths every week....they are a blessing in so many ways. HUGS to everyone.. P.S. Love your new song 'That's how I love Dirt Roads' too..
You guys are so amazing! You are so genuine and that is something that people look for when watching RUclips. People that everyone can relate to, know that you are going through trials in life and being open about that! Thank you
Thank you for these words and taking the time to be interviewed on an important evening in the hearts of our youth, idk that it could even compare to the red carpet... in a good way. An interview together, longer than the CMAs, speaking from your hearts, being a role model to so many. I am so proud of you both. You are starting to awaken that light inside of me that has been dim for so long... thank you.
Thanks for sharing this. One thing that struck me while you were both speaking was the way you look at each other. It's clear how much you love each other and it's heartwarming to see. That red balloon in the end slate gets me every time. xoxox Heather🇨🇦
How could Anyone dislike this video...Shame on You......Granger, Amber And Your Family are in My Thoughts and Prayers Forever, Continue to Do What You Love.......Blessings from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸
Man this was so powerful! Honestly, I’ve heard of you Granger only because I have a friend who adores you and she even named her son after you. She’s not a Christian so I’d never heard this side of you, but man I just love you guys after this video and subscribed! God is so faithful in every season, in every high and every low. You have millions around the world praying for your sweet family. Thank you for your obedience and sacrifice to do this interview for the youth. You have such amazing hearts!
WOW! This video hit home and had me in tears. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful message. I have a special person in my life that I can’t wait to share this message with. Someone that truly needs to hear this. Thank you Smith Family!!!
I cannot express how much I admire seeing people with such an influential platform using it to spread the love of God. Thank you, Smiths! I am in love with your family, with your perseverance and with your devotion to and love for Christ. May God bless you and I hold you in my prayers.
Granger I meet you at a meet and greet in Milwaukee this past Sunday and like I said to you, you changed my life in the 9 months I’ve know you! Your family and you have done so much to believe in myself, in others and grow my faith. Thank you 🙏🏻
God bless your family. Thanks for meeting me at the VIP. It made my day. I needed to get away because I have been having a rough time and that just made me feel amazing. Thank you for your great music and everything you do. 👍
What a beautiful episode. I am going through a dark season right now but I am looking forward to the joy and light that will come. God bless you and your precious family Granger and Amber. ❤️🎈
I want to say thank you for letting us into your life, I feel blessed. Please take care of yourselves. That why I love dirt roads. Loved the video. Yes Yee
Thank you for sharing this part of your lives. So inspirational and you are in our continued prayers of faith and healing with the loss of your precious angel River.
I love love love church!! Big part of my life!! We love you all!! Loved your special nite!!😃❤️🙏😇 when everyone prayed for you .... I cried my eyes out!! 😭
Amazing vlog! It’s not often you see someone in the public eye on tv and movies or in your case on stage as a country music star or on RUclips be open about your love of Christ. You two and your kids are awesome. God bless you guys and God bless Riv!
Life is so hard and it’s not fair, but your family’s strength and courage is such an inspiration to so many people. Bless your hearts and family. May God continue to heal your broken hearts. 💙💙
Hey Granger, I messaged on your last video but I wanted to let you know that you have been a motivation for me and my dad. My dad is a officer for austin Texas and we have good friends in wilco and I wanted to let you know if Lincoln or you ever want to meet a officer or even ride in a car I can help because your super awesome. And also can you try to fish at your ponds? I love to fish and it would be amazing if I saw you fish
I think it’s so amazing that you chose to go speak at your church and be together as a family ... shows your priorities Are on point !! As if we ever questioned it ... you are all awesome !!! Love you guys !!
Hey Smiths from Austin! It was amazing to watch this video. I have two kids (9&5) and from their questions I’ve explained what happens to the best of my knowledge. We often travel back to San Antonio from Austin to go to our home church and this one was very similar in style it seemed to ours. I will say that I teared up when I heard y’all’s testimony especially when Amber was speaking and when the pastor asked to pray my 9 yr old closed his eyes and said a prayer for y’all as well. I guess what I’m attempting to say is...keep at it with the videos. Y’all are definitely reaching this family in Austin! God bless and have a great night
I cannot get enough of That's Why I Love Dirt Roads. Everytime it's in a video I'll listen to it a dozen times that day. It is so good. Stay strong and Yee Yee
i love y'all. Just do what you have to do and what is best for your family and your hearts! Y'all are always in my thoughts and prayers!! The CMAs will always be there, there's always another time. God bless y'all!
Wow! Thank you for sharing this! 24yrs of marriage and my husband and I had a pretty awful fight last night .....thank you for reminding me to stay mission focused! I found myself putting way too much thought into the suffering this morning! God uses u guys in ways that you have no idea!
I don't really understand auditorium churches but these type of events, especially for young people, are so important. Thank you for sharing your time with them and being a great example for your children
I have been going through epilepsy and wish I could meet you guys so much and I truly understand putting priorities and what needs to be done you all are doing the right thing and its important.
Love you guys and understand that life isn't easy. I lost my daughter 6 years ago, after battling with anorexia for 9 years. My faith in God helped me go through the pain I was feeling. Today I thanked Him for the years that I have her. God bless your family. 🙏🥰
Out of every video out there and all the music I find myself watching the smiths and being encouraged and uplifted and finding the joy and happiness. Thank you for all you do with the videos and music. The new single that’s why I love dirt roads inspires me and hits me deep. Thank y’all!!!
Wow. Extremely touched by this video. You bring hope to this world and aren't afraid to show the true you to the world. You inspire me to life a better life! God Bless.
i knew i loved yall before but this just drove it farther home, i wish i could just get the opportunity to shake Grangers hand and thank him for being a man i strive to be. yall are amazing and keep on doing everything your doing
This! This is part of what makes you guys such amazing role models. Skipping the CMA's to speak at a church event. Spreading God's word. I'm so glad i found out about Granger's music awhile back and started listening to you. I just started watching The Smith's after going to your concert in Detroit a few months back and am hooked! Have been following Granger on social media for awhile and started following Amber on Instagram recently as well and love how she shares devotionals she reads and her messages on all her posts are great as well! Keep up the great work guys. Love ya! Yee Yee!!
I don’t always have the time to catch every video you and the family post but I am very thankful I happened to be able to watch this one. It was beautiful. In my own way, I needed to hear your and Ambers words. Thank you ❤️
Absolutely LOVE your channel. Thank you for sharing your lives, your love and your family. You have helped me so much dealing with the death of my big sister. So thank you!! God bless you and your family. 💜🙏💜🙏💜🦋
You and your wife are always full of life living each day to the fullest and along the way of helping people through your videos and in person. Thank you 🙏 God bless y’all. YEE YEE
Amen, amen, amen! Such Truth you and Amber spoke that night! By far my FAV Smiths yet. 💕 Way to be brave and experience your first interview. Man, proud of you guys. Those kids are blessed to have heard you two speak. Thank you for being an encouragement to me as my husband and I walk through our season of grief. Love you guys! #yeeyee #livlikeriv
This is so touching, thank you guys for sharing. I lost a son too, l know how hard each day can be but you guys are going to help so many people by what your doing. Continued prayers for your family!!
I didn't know the passing of your son... My heart just fell. Watching this is like an opening to a book of your life. I've been following your music for many years. My prayers to you...
It's refreshing to see someone in the public eye that has their priorities right
The love of Christ exceeds anything happening at CMA.
When Amber was speaking you can see how much Granger is absolutely in love with that God fearing woman!
YES! He is so focused on her and is just in awe.
AllenFarm isn’t that absolutely the sweetest💞. I don’t think I’ve ever had a man look at me that way, even when I was married for 21 years ...
I see it going on both ways=)
@@michelepace777 Absolutely. That's what marriage should look like.
Amen. Praise Jesus for the Smiths
Your putting God first, and that’s what matters most.
Well said. That's what the Bible asks us to do.
Yes amen. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
Granger, I could not agree more about finding joy in the suffering. This past year has been the hardest year of my life while I suffered the loss of my marriage and doing everything I can to get it back. Even in the times where everything felt right in my circumstances, I always felt something missing. It wasn’t until I was in the midst of suffering I experienced pure joy at times I didn’t expect it. God is so good. What an amazing Father we have. God bless y’all. Fellow Texan and Austinite here as well. 🇨🇱
“My Grandpa let me steer, I still hear, both hands on the wheel” Brings back great memories of me and my gramps. The line gives me chills every time I hear the song...love it man! Love you guys! 🎈💙
God is not insurance. He is assurance.
God Bless your family.
He sees your faithfulness.
God never promised us an easy life, What he did promise us is that he will be beside us every step of the way. Knowing and believing that he is there with us gives us the strength to endure and survive the tough times.
So true ! Thank you for that 🙏
Beautiful ❤️
Hap Newsom oh you are soooo right. Everything you’ve said becomes clearer and clearer the longer you live here on this earth ...
Thank you Hap. The bible says that God will never give us more than we can handle, just for the mere fact that it says we should pass our burdens to him and trust in him that he is bigger than all worldly problems.
Thanks!

God has a purpose and a plan for your life. Draw nearer to Him and you will feel His presence more and more. You got this !
Bless your heart. Prayers for you sweet lady.
The way granger looks at Amber are goals😍
The Smiths family is one amazing family. You can see the love that they all have for each other. Great video like always. Rivers legacy will live on forever. ❤️
Thank you for keeping the main thing the main thing and using your platform to point to Him rather than making it all about yourselves and making your own name famous. Thank you for standing strong in your faith and letting your light shine in the darkness. Bless you, Smith family!
The Prayer at the end gave me tears. I remember I was prayed for by a fellow US Air Force member and I completely broke down. I will never forget that moment. Thank You Smith Family
Wow. Thank you guys so much for being a shining light to those watching. Keep on leading!!! YeeYee!!!!
I work in oncology and this week after hearing that her cancer is back my patients husband said “honey are you ok?” and after just hearing devastating news she grabbed his hand and said “Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful”
That will stick with me forever and be how I look at life situations from now on
Granger and Amber are like the most inspirational and don’t be around the bush people I’ve ever seen. They teach in the words they use and let it known for all age groups the way it is in life. Definitely are amazing people and a beautiful family. God bless them both and bring them more brighter days 🙏
When Amber started crying about River I felt her pain and teared up myself. You are a strong, amazing woman and I admire you.
This makes me even more of a fan. You guys are an inspiration. Continuing to pray for you.
I wake up every morning and look outside. I count my blessings and have joy on my heart. This video is everything.
All kinds of emotions running through me right now. Aside from all of the wonderful family videos you have shared, this one is probably my most favorite. So much inspiration here. I love everything about you all. Beautiful beautiful family that puts God first. It doesn't get any better than that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys got it. You got that God comes FIRST. Through your grief, God is shinning brightly through you. What a blessing this was to me, thank you.
I continue to hold you in my prayers, my heart.
Take us to church Smiths! Church is one of my favorite things!! Looks like your church is a lot like ours!!
This video is a perfect example of why country music is so much more than music. It is people like you and Thomas Rhett and many more that are not afraid to show their faith in a world where people shame others for being strong with and who are willing to share their faith. Country music is something I myself keep falling back on when something isn’t right in my life. So thank you so much!
Amen!! What great way to address our suffering! I needed to watch this vlog today, and at this very moment. I myself have been dealing with physically, emotionally and mental suffering for about 8 months. Holding tightly to God's promises that he will heal me in this New Year!! Believe and trust in His plan. Blessings to you all!
Such a testimony for all of us to learn from. Thank ya’ll for being leaders in this community. Y’all are helping all of us raise our kids. We love y’all!
So great to see how humble and God fearing your family is. Also a great testement and example for your children and all of us that giving up a "night of glitz and glamor" you chose to bring a message to the younger generation of Hope and perseverance. Bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏 Yee Yee!
Because of this episode, I went to church for the first time in over a decade. I wasn't invited by anyone but God. I Googled churches near me and I went. By myself. Let me tell you, there is a reason that I was supposed to be there. God reminded me that even though I forgot about Him, he has never left my side. Thank you for showing me that I need Him in my life! I can't thank you enough. I will be making some great changes in my life and making time for worship
lol london being goofy in the back seat is hilarious!
My wife and I lost our son in 2015, our life will never be the same again. We like to just keep to ourselves and have peace and quiet..
YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR ME! I quit a job yesterday that I loved . I'm a RN who takes care of mentally I'll pts with all realms of problems. I did not like the value system, or the way pts were treated at this facility . But I made a decision based on my inner instincts I felt God was telling me. I was quiet, I listened and I turned in my resignation. I woke up today a questioning if i did the right thing.

He will find the right place for me in this world , and with that i feel JOY ! I love you guys ,
Let's Rock and Roll to new beginnings ! livelikeRiv.
How love how you openly share your faith through both the positives and the hardships in life.
I love y’all. Thankful we get to be a part of your family. It’s harder and harder to live and show our faith but you all do it so gracefully. It’s such an inspiration.
So when I saw the photo you shared of you kissing Riv and I saw all of the families commenting that they had lost a child too, I couldn't help but tear up and think how amazing it is that in your time of hurt you are able to minister to others.

Granger I meet you at a meet and greet in Milwaukee this past Sunday and like I said to you, you changed my life in the 9 months I’ve know you! Your family and you have done so much to believe in myself, in others and grow my faith. Thank you 🙏🏻
I prayed for you guys. I lost my son he was 18 months old. I know how hard it is.
God bless your family. Thanks for meeting me at the VIP. It made my day. I needed to get away because I have been having a rough time and that just made me feel amazing. Thank you for your great music and everything you do. 👍
What a beautiful episode. I am going through a dark season right now but I am looking forward to the joy and light that will come. God bless you and your precious family Granger and Amber. ❤️🎈
I want to say thank you for letting us into your life, I feel blessed. Please take care of yourselves. That why I love dirt roads. Loved the video. Yes Yee
Thank you for sharing this part of your lives. So inspirational and you are in our continued prayers of faith and healing with the loss of your precious angel River.
I love love love church!! Big part of my life!! We love you all!! Loved your special nite!!😃❤️🙏😇 when everyone prayed for you .... I cried my eyes out!! 😭
You guys are a example of an amazing family. What what people should look up to. You are doing something right keep it up.
Amazing vlog! It’s not often you see someone in the public eye on tv and movies or in your case on stage as a country music star or on RUclips be open about your love of Christ. You two and your kids are awesome. God bless you guys and God bless Riv!
Made my night! Aspiring to have the relationship the two of you have with each other and Jesus. 💜
Life is so hard and it’s not fair, but your family’s strength and courage is such an inspiration to so many people. Bless your hearts and family. May God continue to heal your broken hearts. 💙💙
I hope God chooses to use y'all in testimony speaking engagements in the future, cause y'all rocked it!
Placing God and Family before the career is fine with this member of #YEEYEENation
That was Awesome..THANK YOU for including us in it!!!
Found this channel through lunker's tv and very glad I did. Even though I'm not really a country music fan I can enjoy your music.
Hey Granger, I messaged on your last video but I wanted to let you know that you have been a motivation for me and my dad. My dad is a officer for austin Texas and we have good friends in wilco and I wanted to let you know if Lincoln or you ever want to meet a officer or even ride in a car I can help because your super awesome. And also can you try to fish at your ponds? I love to fish and it would be amazing if I saw you fish
I think it’s so amazing that you chose to go speak at your church and be together as a family ... shows your priorities Are on point !! As if we ever questioned it ... you are all awesome !!! Love you guys !!
Hey Smiths from Austin! It was amazing to watch this video. I have two kids (9&5) and from their questions I’ve explained what happens to the best of my knowledge. We often travel back to San Antonio from Austin to go to our home church and this one was very similar in style it seemed to ours. I will say that I teared up when I heard y’all’s testimony especially when Amber was speaking and when the pastor asked to pray my 9 yr old closed his eyes and said a prayer for y’all as well. I guess what I’m attempting to say is...keep at it with the videos. Y’all are definitely reaching this family in Austin! God bless and have a great night
Great message to London and Lincoln too! They are learning what is important in live through the 2 of you! Man, I just love you guys!
The biggest night in country music is the night you choose to be your biggest night. Good for you two. They’ll just try to make you a story.
I cannot get enough of That's Why I Love Dirt Roads. Everytime it's in a video I'll listen to it a dozen times that day. It is so good. Stay strong and Yee Yee
You guys are beautiful. I see that twinkle in your eye. Your a man of your family. Good for you. Happy holidays to your family. Love to all
i love y'all. Just do what you have to do and what is best for your family and your hearts! Y'all are always in my thoughts and prayers!! The CMAs will always be there, there's always another time. God bless y'all!
Wow! Thank you for sharing this! 24yrs of marriage and my husband and I had a pretty awful fight last night .....thank you for reminding me to stay mission focused! I found myself putting way too much thought into the suffering this morning! God uses u guys in ways that you have no idea!
I don't really understand auditorium churches but these type of events, especially for young people, are so important. Thank you for sharing your time with them and being a great example for your children
I am so grateful to have found your channel over the summer. You are so real and honest. Thank You
I have been going through epilepsy and wish I could meet you guys so much and I truly understand putting priorities and what needs to be done you all are doing the right thing and its important.
Love you guys and understand that life isn't easy. I lost my daughter 6 years ago, after battling with anorexia for 9 years. My faith in God helped me go through the pain I was feeling. Today I thanked Him for the years that I have her. God bless your family. 🙏🥰
Thanks for sharing your testimony, your vulnerability, and for taking us to church... Loved it and Love You Guys!!! Continued prayers🎈
Out of every video out there and all the music I find myself watching the smiths and being encouraged and uplifted and finding the joy and happiness. Thank you for all you do with the videos and music. The new single that’s why I love dirt roads inspires me and hits me deep. Thank y’all!!!
Wow. Extremely touched by this video. You bring hope to this world and aren't afraid to show the true you to the world. You inspire me to life a better life! God Bless.
i knew i loved yall before but this just drove it farther home, i wish i could just get the opportunity to shake Grangers hand and thank him for being a man i strive to be. yall are amazing and keep on doing everything your doing
This! This is part of what makes you guys such amazing role models. Skipping the CMA's to speak at a church event. Spreading God's word. I'm so glad i found out about Granger's music awhile back and started listening to you. I just started watching The Smith's after going to your concert in Detroit a few months back and am hooked! Have been following Granger on social media for awhile and started following Amber on Instagram recently as well and love how she shares devotionals she reads and her messages on all her posts are great as well! Keep up the great work guys. Love ya! Yee Yee!!
Amber you're seriously amazing! When you spoke I couldn't stop listening. You should totally do this more often.
I don’t always have the time to catch every video you and the family post but I am very thankful I happened to be able to watch this one. It was beautiful. In my own way, I needed to hear your and Ambers words. Thank you ❤️
Absolutely LOVE your channel. Thank you for sharing your lives, your love and your family. You have helped me so much dealing with the death of my big sister. So thank you!! God bless you and your family.
💜🙏💜🙏💜🦋
Thank You Guys!! My Family and I will say a Prayer to keep you going Forward with the Lord and Inspiring Us all... Bless You
I never really thought that it’s ok to suffer. I always feel so guilty about that. Thank you Granger for saying that.
I love this so much! ❤️ The Smiths are so uplifting with passing around their positivity and giving back 🙏❤️
You and your wife are always full of life living each day to the fullest and along the way of helping people through your videos and in person. Thank you 🙏 God bless y’all. YEE YEE
Amen, amen, amen! Such Truth you and Amber spoke that night! By far my FAV Smiths yet. 💕 Way to be brave and experience your first interview. Man, proud of you guys. Those kids are blessed to have heard you two speak. Thank you for being an encouragement to me as my husband and I walk through our season of grief. Love you guys! #yeeyee #livlikeriv
