Wow guys I needed this.been going to a new church with 40 people instead of 400 and I've been feeling so much guilt about choosing another church but I feel way more at home and connected at the smaller one. It feels more about God less about donations. Thank you thank you. Literally chose this one today and if it isn't God coming through idk what is. ❤🎉
This was one of my favorite podcasts yet! I didn’t grow up in church, but joined a “bigger” one in my early twenties. Never once interacted with the pastor, he was like a celebrity almost. I did enjoy his sermons but never connected with ANY ONE in that church. I thought I enjoyed that, since I was an introvert anyway. I also was never consistent in going. Probably every other weekend. Once I moved to north DFW about a year ago, I joined a smaller local church here. It is EVERYTHING you and Marshall described, the pastor came up to me the first several times I came, I was shocked but honored at the same time! The members made a huge effort to introduce themselves and thank me for coming. They invited to their house church. This was vastly different from the “mega church” I attended for ten years. Now that I’ve joined a house church, I feel like I’ve made lifetime friends, and we all have Jesus in common! I go every single Sunday, and consider myself a “member” (we are fairly new so don’t have strict guidelines for membership yet) I am thankful every day I found a church like the one you guys talked about in this episode, and I encourage everyone reading this, if you aren’t in a church where the pastor personally knows you and you know/interact/gather with other members, find a smaller church! It is worth it!
Everyone knows I always have the oddball comments….but…. The first thing I noticed today was how healthy Granger looks! His color, smile and energy just all display wellness. We all know that comes from the inside. So happy for him.
Thank you for this. 32 isn't old. I swore I'd be married with kids by 25. At 32. Single since almost 25. I get this. But I have been growing with God and working on me. At 25 I'm SO GLAD I wasn't then who I am now. God will bring me what I need when it's right and if not I got him till then 🙏
I was born again July 2021 and it's so hard to find a GOOD church who teach sound doctrine and disciple their members. It's not easy at all. I went to a church for a year and told so many people (even the Pastor and his wife) that I'm isolated because I dont know any Christians...I'm a now 49 yr old woman...never married no kids....I don't seem to fit in. I made many efforts and went to home Bible study as well as other events. I'm on fire for Jesus and personally I have experienced lukewarm church. It's like a social gathering.
Hi Granger, may the Lord bless you from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! Thanks for sharing this episode! I get closer to God when I read His Word and walk according His Will and I'm around Godly people at church every day.
Hope you’ll continue to listen and enjoy. You might also like to listen to Granger’s wife on “Arise with Amber” or their good friend Pastor Chad on “Take and Read Podcast “.
@@2byoung I have to agree with everything you said. I start my Sunday's with Amber and my Wednesday's with Chad and of course Monday morning's with Granger. Today I started with Granger but had to do some stuff so didn't get back around to finishing until tonight.
My Christian church teaches all the kids about tongues and I remember being little and then seeing who in the class "can do it" at that age I am glad they introduced it but I do also feel like it was for connection more than the actual act
I just bought your book, and I kind of wish I was hearing you read it. It would just set the tone. But I love it so far, my 9 year old said are you crying mom. I said yes and then a few pages later I’m laughing. You did great, and also I’m trying to take breaks in reading so that way I don’t finish it in one day. Thank you for opening up to all of us. God bless you all. #LivLikeRiv🎈
@@D_Reddy0269In addition to hearing Granger read the book, there is also bonus material that goes with the audio book, including an interview with Granger and Amber.
Awesome episode today, definitely need more Marshall. The church I attend in Myrtle Beach we are in my opinion a more traditional Baptist church, we have Sunday School(all ages) in the morning before morning service, we have a Sunday evening service and a Wednesday night service. It is an active and involved church and I look forward when I can finally be there full-time.
Gods Blessings in your new life. Love these videos to live in Christ. As an Introvert I would find too many people speaking to me overwhelming. Not everyone comes to church for socialization, which is hard for introverts. They come for the word of God..
Really enjoyed your podcast with your pastor today. Please consider having Pastor Marshall back on your podcast. As you spoke about knowing your pastor & him knowing you. This is why I left the church, I wasn't being fed from the messages, but also the pastor made me uncomfortable. He didn't make any attempt to know his small flock.
Hey granger, my name is Mitchell I love your podcast and music. Basically my girlfriend is going to college next year for a minimum of 4 years, I know I shouldn’t be worried about it now but it’s hard for me to know she will leave next summer for college that’s a few states away. We put god first and want to get married in the future after she’s out of college. My question for you is what’s your advice on this situation. I’m scared we will drift apart. I don’t know how I can handle not seeing her for super long periods of time.
Can you please say prayersfor me. I had a stroke November 12th 2017 and I'm going down hill. I had my balance screwed up. I have trouble falling. I have fallen and broken a foot and another foot ankle at the same time. I broke the foot that the ankle also. A month ago, I fell straight backwards, hit my head on a tile floor. Because of the heat, my old car electric windows not going out and my blower fan fo ac and heat for this winter not winter that is not working, I was not cooling down and my magnesium and potassium below low normal. I'm still not 100%. I need some help. I. 64, I live alone. Thank you if anyone can.
granger love you bro your videos are awesome bro!! But i do have one question are u actually country bro? Like was u brought up living the country life?!? Cuz U sound like you live in new york city!!
I ordered your book from Amazon 3 weeks ago and it keeps saying delayed. It made me think of it when you said to put a review on Amazon about it. Makes me wonder why Amazon is so slow. Has anyone else experienced this
What if you go to the pastor and want a meeting for them to get to know you and you need help with a situation spiritually. They say here go to this deacon or other person that is closer in your area and the pastor never gets to know you???
Sounds like you need to find another place to go, or maybe before you do that, explain your feelings to this deacon and ask why you can't have a an actual conversation with the pastor. It might be an issue of trying to delegate because the pastor is very busy, but if the pastor is too busy to speak with folks when they need to speak with him, then his plate is too full and things need to change.
You must remember that Jesus Christ is called by many names in different languages and every tribe, tongue and nation shall be worshipping YHWH and the Lord Jesus Christ.

More Marshall please! As he was speaking today, I kept thinking two words - succinct wisdom.

I was very involved, active, LDS for 53 years (left the cult 4 months ago) and they/we said Jesus and Christ Jesus regularly…no reason not to.
Good mornin!! ☕️

Mark 16:17.
I just noticed your watch Granger what brand and model is that your wearing.
👏 good clip

🙏🏻❤️!
What's Marshall s last name or what's his church called?
Does the boot fit ?
Do we have to call Jesus, Yeshua because that is His Hebrew name or can we call him Jesus?
What if you go to the pastor and want a meeting for them to get to know you and you need help with a situation spiritually. They say here go to this deacon or other person that is closer in your area and the pastor never gets to know you???
Sounds like you need to find another place to go, or maybe before you do that, explain your feelings to this deacon and ask why you can't have a an actual conversation with the pastor. It might be an issue of trying to delegate because the pastor is very busy, but if the pastor is too busy to speak with folks when they need to speak with him, then his plate is too full and things need to change.

So is the Smith’s Family Channel done? Just checking if i should unsubscribe.
No they are still putting stuff out just not as often.
Yahshua the Anointed Messiah would be proper or the Anointed Messiah who is Yahshua
You must remember that Jesus Christ is called by many names in different languages and every tribe, tongue and nation shall be worshipping YHWH and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Awesome podcast
