About this channel: We are the Smith's. A family of 5, living in the country just outside of Georgetown, Texas. Granger, a touring country music singer, Amber, an actor and stay at home mom, and their children: London, Lincoln and River.
As someone that has been a pastor. I can tell you it’s never scripted. It’s by His Spirit. We need more people like you. Keep going deeper.
I don't know why but Granger's words just hit me different than any other people's words👍🏻👍🏻 Love what you're doing Granger 🙏 Yee Yee
Same, while I'm not christian but I love and respect Christianity, I think his words hit different because you feel how honest, caring and loving he is just like I feel too, God bless him, you and all of us. Conservative life
@@udayadams Amen
“Arise with Amber” and a “Get up with Granger”
I think it would be amazing if Granger could start something similar.
You are both such a wonderful heart. The Love of God shine through with everything you do!
What can you say ? I cried my eyes out. I'm a reborn again Christian and so proud to be back with our Lord. I stumble but I get back up and don't lose sight. God has gifted you in so many ways and you and your family have touched so many people with your stories and videos. God bless you and all your family !!!
Granger you were amazing but never quit music and Smith farmhouse soon, please
Agreed with you
Yeah his music is the best
Its not about what we want, its about what God wants
Im sitting at work getting ready for my 12 hour shift and i can't stop my tears. Ive been lost in my faith for so long and this truly touched me deep. Thank you Smiths for not giving up and your willingness to share your lives with us. You are making a difference. God bless you
"I'm filled with joy for what you did this morning." I've preached a few times before, and I can think of very few things that would mean more to me than to hear someone say this. Amber fills the role of supportive wife in amazing ways, and this is just one more example of her doing just that.
I love this so much. You are a phenomenal family and I am truly inspired. 🦋Thank you
All the love🧡
Granger community church is honestly the worst most evil unGodly church on the face of the planet!!! I know from personal experience!! It's everything the bible says not to be for a church....
@@sadnlonelywithoutmydaughter911 If that is true, and I am certainly not saying that it is, then that would be the perfect audience for this message from God’s word. We have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, so we are all in need of hearing what He has to tell us any time we can hear it. I’m truly glad Granger preached this message to those able to hear it in person, and I’m also very grateful that it can be shared with the rest of us through a format such as this.
Smith Family please know that you and your family will be in our prayers! God bless
@@sadnlonelywithoutmydaughter911 how so
I just found the Smith family today. June 4, 2023. Subscribed after one video. Love that you are prioritizing Jesus. I look forward to more sermons.
His message is still touching people it just got me today. THANK YOU !
We also have an angel child, Joshua in heaven. He was 4. It's been 10 years. Thank you for being so open and honest. I pray that God will bless this new chapter of your family life.
❤ to your 4yo Angel in heaven!
MAN, GOD IS SO GOOD🙌🏼 Hallelujah for the testimony he has given y’all! Encourages all of us in our walks through pain and suffering, to know that if we have been reborn there is HOPE!
I would like to share with you is a prayer that my 90 year old dad always says and that is [lord please help me to follow your word your will and your way] that really helps me in my daily walk with Jesus I really hope y'all see this 2019 was a bad year for us also on November 4th my mother and dad's wife of 68 years went to be with Jesus I returned to Jesus the Sunday after her memorial and that has been the greatest comfort to me it's amazing how the love of Jesus takes away the pain
Absolutely the most humble message delivered through Christ our Lord! May God bless your family and any journey God takes you on 🙏🙏🙏 You have another calling in this Life from God. Please hear what he is saying to your heart ❤
does your imaginary friend speak to you ??
Philippians 2:10-11
[10]That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
[11]And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Wonderful
I am thrilled and overjoyed that God is calling and using you in this way.
When God called me I was a nightclub musician and a nightmare to be around. I gave up music completely knowing that if I continued playing I would be pulled back to where I had been. But after 2 years God called me back to music and began to use me in ministry. Then after 7 years he sent me to Europe as a worship leader on a ministry team.
I know that if I’d followed my own way I would never have gone to the places I have or done the things He has had me do.
That was in 1980, I’m now pushing 70 and haven’t stopped yet.
Be led by His Spirit always, shalom.
With tears streaming down my face I feel like Kelly Clarkson said to Garth Brook... The Dance.. She said she has heard that song for YEARS. Sang it FOREVER.. but NOW, after divorce.. she GETS IT. I my friend, after watching this video I NOW GET IT. The IT being, what I have been feeling but could not describe nor define. Now, I can. I have watched the Smiths since the beginning. I have laughed, cried, I have even fallen to my knees in prayer for this family. I have watched Granger grow and Amber overcome, by leaning on Granger but more especially her Savior, her fear of speaking to a crowd. I remember the day they both spoke at a church, missing the CMA,s to do so. That very day watching that video, I thought, something special is happening here. And, sure enough, here we are. After watching this, I now understand what I have been feeling here lately. I now understand, God has been nudging me and the Holy Spirit has been punching me...all in good ways. Here lately I just bust out and cry during sermons and prayer. I could not explain it. Now I KNOW.. GREAT REVIVAL is upon us my brothers and sisters and my savior is using Granger and Amber within it. I am so honored, humbled and full of joy that God brought me to this family and I am a part of it. Unless God changes your path, never stop country music Granger. Honestly, God is needed in that sector and can hopefully use you to change hearts and souls there but also, please continue to preach.
My husband passed away suddenly in February. I have felt so alone and forlorn since then. These words really touched me. There is joy after suffering - such a wonderful and powerful message. Thank you.
"A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps."
Proverbs 16:9 NKJV
Beautiful. Amber I think you can say you are proud and filled with joy. Not many people can get the message of the lord across but he is working within you both and spreading the love. You should start up a YeeYee Farm Church 🥰 keep following his path. Love to ALL the Smith's!
I was closer to God during my chemo treatments for stage 4 cancer than I had ever been. Now I praise Him and thank Him for the cancer as it taught me what is really important in life. Faith, hope and love. 25 years later I feel Him more every day.
God always be with that beautiful family. ❤️ So very glad Granger is doing this. God was with him. His words spoke to my heart. My son died on a Tuesday also, he was 39. About four months before he died he told me he wanted to preach in some form. Four years later, still in that horrible, horrible grief, a miracle happened and someone sent an audio Chad made a few months later. He gave a little sermon in it. If the whole story was told, everyone would know that receiving that audio was a gift from God.
We watched it right when he posted the RUclips link! We pray for y’all regularly and it’s been a joy to see him and the family grow in Jesus and the calling He has for your lives!!
I'm excited about your comment and you are really amazine hope you are having a wonderful time in your life🌹
In 2018 I thought shaking Granger’s (one of my favorite country singers) hand and being featured on his story on Instagram was the highlight of my day! Little did I know God was brining me across one of the most beautiful souls along with his beautiful wife and children! Amber’s arises have helped me through a lot of my bad days, and have brought me joy! I too don’t believe in coincidences, nor do I believe in luck! I’ve been going through my own suffering. I’ve been reading my devotionals, I’ve been praying but haven’t felt peace… but Granger this… this sermon!! Lost but now I’m found, blind but now I see! This is exactly what I needed to hear at exactly the right moment!! Thank you thank you for sharing! Amen
Never be sorry for preaching the word! Good sermon! Thank you!
You know, I can see you being a youth pastor..I think it would be awesome, or just travel ministry doing youth conferences/rallies bringing the younger crowd to Christ. It was a blessing to hear your sermon brother..God bless
Beautiful word. My son is a pastor and has been now for 15 years, my heart is always thankful to God for using him to such a way. I am proud of him, but not in an boastful or idol way, but with a humble heart. We who are in Christ are all blessed indeed, blessed be the name of our LORD.
We are in TX too; Frisco TX at Frisco Bible Church, and will be doing a church plant Celina, TX o r of the fastest growing city in TX by Fall next year!
i have experienced great suffering with the death of my husband and i didnt know all this time that my pain could change to joy and peace...that sermon filled me with tears and a path to follow ...i have been there holding the steering wheel so tight filled with anguish indicison and guilt. now i pray a lot for Jesus to hold my hand and lead me to peace and joy thank you Granger for sharing your pain and your journey it meant alot to me.
Thank you. I just lost my grandfather yesterday. After many years being so angry with my family I went and took my kids to spend Christmas Eve with him and now he's gone. But watching this has given me a little comfort for what's next. Thank You!
This moved me to tears and I felt my heart swelling with every word you spoke. I will be watching it over and over! I have been searching for peace, hope and joy since my Son took his life not long ago. Through you, Granger and Amber’s Arise I am trying to find God and learn to seek him everyday🙏🏻❤️Thank you for all you do, you’re truly making a difference in my life.
good acting lol
I lost both my only daughters n I search for peace daily.. so I understand ur search Lauri.. may God grant us both that peace at least part time.. the love one has for our child or children..I have to tell myself u love them n miss them.. but beyond that I cannot understand why yet that they both got taken by other wicked men.. hugs is all I can offer u
May God give you Lauri and Granny Lanna peace in these hard times. My heart cries for your losses. No mother should lose her children, it has to be pain unimaginable. Jesus is the answer, He gave it ALL! TRUST HIM. It is so encouraging that this young man will be an Awesome Ambassador for the Lord!!
Cried in Sunday, cried today. Just beautiful.
I immediately went to 1 Peter 5:10 and needed this. I am re discovering myself as a person and child of God after several traumatic events and needed to see this verse. Thank you Smith Family!
Man brother here I lie a 58 year old man with tears running down my face. I can't say I've been watching for years but a good year. Your growth in Gods word is deep. Thank u
This literally brought me to tears. And that takes a lot because I never cry.
Granger, you helped me today. My husband, Bernie, my soulmate died 3 years and 9 months ago. I am missing him still sooo much.
Never knew about or who River was until watching this just now, now River is very much alive to me. All of you including River definitely reached that 1 person you had hoped to reach today and thanks for that. I used to skip the “Arise” episodes because I didn’t think I could relate, won’t ever make that mistake again! Roller coaster of emotions with you guys, well done!
If you can, I'd like to recommend going back through their channel to see as many videos about River as possible. There is so much to enjoy and appreciate from that little man. If you can only watch one, I'd like to suggest this one. It's the one they did shortly after River passed. Granger and Amber speak about him, and then they have pictures and video from his life. ruclips.net/video/9LMmUBsD308/видео.html
And there it is!!! You reached 1 Granger 💜✝️
@@bowed305 I second this!
@@bowed305, yup that was a great recommendation thanks. Once again a roller coaster….sad, happy, laughing, got something in my eyes a lot and thankful for them sharing. I know it wasn’t meant to make people sad or upset and in the end it didn’t for me but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t crush me twice today now. I need to take a step back now and just take it all in
@@Verlinandy I understand. I've been processing this with them for over two years now, and there are still days when it's a lot to take in.
I will tell you it’s not only joy! It is the Lords presence living through the both of you!
I said to a friend who’s husband preached...”you must be so proud”. She said, “ I’m proud he’s letting the Lord use him”. I thought that was a sweet answer. 🙏🏻
Mr & Mrs Smith, I lost my son Aaron shortly after he graduated from K-12 TTUHS in Lubbock Texas, he was a musician and performing when he fell sick & was negligently cared for by a surgeon and we lost him 6 months later,. We had to turn off his life support, the most unthinkable thing for a Dad & Mom to do and then watch your child pass away! I know too! Suffering is real, 1 Peter 5:10 spoke to my brokenheart, I need to know that hope is real, I need to know that someone else knows my pain and that earthly doctor can't fix this, I am thankful that I found ya'll! That's Aaron in the thumbnail image! Thank You for doing what you do! Your Fan From Houston Texas,
Mac 👋 😎 🤳
This has got to be the best Smiths episode yet. I watched the sermon and cried. It's as though God was speaking to my heart through Grangers message and it is so what I needed. Even seeing the recap here, made me cry and hugged my heart. Glory to God for Granger being a humble servant of the almighty living God! Praying for you all.
Yes, the best episode since the beginning of The Smiths.❤️
yeah i cried too
more on this episode though
Lost my mom Oct 1st 2020 to Cancer...ive been praying over and over for my joy back....feel like ill never b the same....i needed to hear this more than u cud imagine💜
This is definitely G’s calling. We felt very grateful to be able to be there for him. It truly meant a lot for us to go. It was a very powerful and moving sermon! Halie and I love y’all so much! ♥️
Sitting here at work, listening, happy tears streaming down my cheeks...blessings.....
Oh my God I needed this so bad am going thru a divorce after 23 years of marriage my wife lift me and my kids for a another Man!!!
The Emotions the bad thoughts in my head I was going through!
This has lift me up so much again
Thank you and God bless you 🙏❤
I don’t really know what to say, but I’m so sorry. 💕 ♥️💕
Those words that Grangers said Amen 🙏
I know that my heart breaks everyday because I lost my oldest daughter in 2006.
Soo very sorry for your loss. I know this sermon had to be like a soothing balm on your broken heart.
I also lost my daughter in 2006. My only child. It broke my heart and changed me forever.
I'm so sorry I lost my mom to suicide in2006. I always thought I'd be sad that joy wouldn't come back. But it does. I love in the word where it says weeping may endure of a night but joy comes in the morning. May the balm of Gilead heal you. 🙏🏽💗🤗
Made me cry tears of joy
Incredible sermon. I took notes... You truly have a gift. One of my favorite things you said was "I've been able to experience a peace joy and hope that as a believer I know is not fully attained by worldly success, self help books, pills, therapy or any other supplement that only comes from God. He doesn't need us to glorify Him and worship Him. He is the glory. He created us to run on worshipping Him." Excellent reminders from God's word and His promises. Thank you for being so vulnerable and speaking His truth! What a blessing y'all are!!
I had never heard of Granger Smith until I watched Moonrise last night on Pure Flix. Then I looked him up and began watching all I could on RUclips. Amazing singer but yet an amazing lay pastor. I needed his message regarding River. I’ve lost my husband and my first three grandchildren, the first one whom I raised. I have joy, peace, and love in my heart through Christ Jesus because I know that there was a reason for my tragedies that has borne fruit. Thank you, Granger. I will see you in Tempe, Arizona, August 10!
Music or Ministry, you are bringing healing to the hurting. River served his mission well and y'all have followed the calling that was on his sweet life. God Bless You and Keep You Always, carry on!
With tears streaming down my face Granger. . God bless you.
Brother you broke through on this one. This was like hearing a song that moves you to tears. God is proud of you so keep doing what your doing!
Awesome Word! Paul’s testimony was that he would KNOW Christ and His suffering!!! ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️✝️✝️
That was so beautiful! God has chosen him God is speaking through him he is a disciple of God amen
Ain't God soooooo GOOOOOD!! I will hold you in my prayers! Your obvious friendship with Jesus and humble spirit blessed me big today! Great job!!
When you speak from the heart, it hits the heart ❤
I just came across you Granger I am sorry for the loss of River 😢, you are doing the right thing God needs you & you need our saviour serving him is so important because you will then share the gospel with us , how lucky we all are to have you ….love peace joy & blessings Granger & to your family & just one more thing I am beyond joy & gratitude that through your loss he gave us you & we are all blessed……Terri from Canada 🇨🇦🙏❤️😌
Had to make the 4.5 hour drive to see your first ever sermon. So happy we made it out and was able to be there for such an amazing opportunity for you and your faith.
God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him!
All I have is Thank You Jesus, Thank you for using Granger, and Amber🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏❤️ I love y’all so much!!! Gods got this 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Granger, I just want to say. I struggle with my faith. Because of the things that have happened to me, I often think why would god allow these things to happen to me? Your sermon brought me to tears. I’m going to start looking for a church where I feel like I can connect again. Thank you for this.
Amber I’m 74 and always called myself a christian but Granger really showed me what a Christian is today watching his Sherman. He has touched me spiritually. Thank you both. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
What a beautiful sermon. I just forwarded it to a brother in God that lost his wife one year ago. I truly believe this will help him. Thank you so much for putting joy in my heart. God bless you Granger Smith and your beautiful family
And now a year later, that is no longer a question mark.
Every time I hear Granger’s sermon it hits me deeply in my soul. Amber you have an amazing husband London and Lincoln your dad is awesome. ♥️🙏🏻
What a beautiful story of hope! This is going to change lives and lead many to Christ!
This touched me so deeply tonight. Losing a child is the worst thing I’ve gone through…but God…God got me through and is still getting me through. Your family brings me joy!💞
Have been following you since I read Like a River. Can’t ever watch an episode without crying. My mom who was my best friend ever passed away two years ago and I still have not grieved her. Your videos book sermons and voices have been slowly helping me grieve. I cannot thank you enough. Then a year ago I found my brother who had been mentally ill and had to see his wife die, dead in his home after being gone for over 4 days in the July heat in Pennsylvania. I cannot get that image out of my head. I have been a Christian women, I admit not going to church though, but since your book and your videos, I am starting back with my sister and her family and would love if your ever back in pa to come speak at our church. I have been so inspired by you and your family. God bless you and thank you from the bottom of my heart-Heather
That was absolutely amazing! It spoke so much to me and what I’m going through now. God is Amazing how he uses folks like you to bring His word to those who are longing and thirsting for that message exactly! God Bless you!
I truly feel you have been called to an even bigger stage.
Your sermon and 1 Peter 5:10, really touch my heart, brought tears! Thanks Holy Spirit! I bet your heart was spilling over in JOY, Amber!
What an amazing sermon. We needed to hear that. Keep up the good work man. GODS not done yet. Granger always an inspiration
You're a special man Granger Smith...we need more like you.
I love what you said about pride, Amber. That was amazing, Granger. 💜 Blessings in your upcoming days.
The joy on your face is amazing. God is so good. 🙏
Thanks Granger for your love of Christ in your life you always set a good example for the Lord
You did an amazing job! Myself and a few of my coworkers watched it today on the Granger channel and we were all in tears. I even sent it to one of my closest friends who I knew in my heart needed to hear it and SHE OPENED HER HEART TO THE LORD!!! You, Amber, London and Lincoln have helped me mature in my faith and I will FOREVER be grateful for you all. Can’t wait to see you in September in Indiana my friend.
I'm thrilled for you, too. So inspiring! Whatever is "next", I'll be there supporting you. ❤️🙏
Peace love and joy are amazing to feel. I'm excited for Granger and I'm excited for your family. God bless everyone who listens to Granger's sermon. I love your family you are all amazing.😁♥🇨🇦
I think its so wonderful you all openly speak of the Lord and his word Praise the Lord God bless you all
I wish I could pray like Granger and Amber does. I watch Amber every Sunday and use it as a Bible study. I keep praying, but I can never express myself like you two.
Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference. Max Lucado said this.
As Amber said a couple weeks ago in a Smiths episode “Cry out to the Lord. He’s always listening.”
@@Anna-kf8br Thank you, Anna. God Bless you!
@@ionecuff6323 God bless you too!!!
It is not how it sounds it is what it means
HOPEful that maybe one day I could witness a sermon given by Granger and Amber LIVE
I watched a few of your videos without subscribing. Today I watched this episode… I subscribed. May you lead a lot of souls to God. You are a blessing.
I saw in another comment last week asking if Granger would ever do a gospel album. Would love that as well.
I am not an emotional person but when you said it was raining again I teared up.
I commented this as well I would love to have a gospel album from granger. This comment needs put to the top
That was beautiful Granger. I was crying 😢. May god bless you & your family.
🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
I needed this !!! Just watching what small clip that was there and them words is exactly what I needed . I just started balling my eyes out . I was reborn by watching . I asked GOD to forgive me for everything that I have done and please come back into my life . Thanks so much for the words of GOD I needed it so so much . I just lost my best friend to a blood clot to her heart she was 47 my only friend please keep me in your all’s prayers much love from Knoxville TN
The world needs more people like the Smiths.
Needed to hear this. Been feeling down lately. Love the Smith's.
The Smiths is an example of how I want to live, I am a Dutchman and a Country lover, I also like to know you as a Christian.
God bless you all!
All my thoughts and prayers are with you Granger and you lovely family
Someone please hand me a tissue... your message touched my heart in a big way! AMEN and praise God!
Wow, That was very powerful! Great work!
It wouldn't matter to me if you decided to change your calling. I would still follow you all and support you any chance I get. Your music will always be a part of me and my families life and that'll never change. I'm just blessed to be a part of the Yee Yee Nation and able to enjoy every video you guys share with us. God Bless You Granger, Amber, Kiddos and all your Loved Ones.
What a wonderful encouraging Word! Thank you for sharing! My spirit is lifted because of your obedience. Prayers for God to lead and guide you and your family each step of the way.
Thank you Jesus Thank you Jesus.
I have no idea you will see this family but I stand in need of prayer! TY.
Your message this past Sunday was Amazing! Also made it in this video twice! Once at the church service and once in the front row at the concert!
I am feeling joy for your family too! ❤️
Can't wait to hear his 1st gospel album!
Thank you Granger and Ms.Amber I’m one of those people that you both has helped words can’t describe how grateful I am to be a part of your journey love you guys God bless you.
Was just listening to your sermon. WOW some powerful stuff. I think you should do a song or pod cast with Matthew West.
God has equipped you for ministry. Bring your precious family to Granger Community Church when the baby and Amber are able to travel.
P.S. I enjoy watching Amber’s Arise every Sunday! You’re a special family and God has great plans for each of you!
Hi Granger. I'm A Country Musician Myself. I'm Writing My Country Music Songs, Recording & Publishing on the BandLab App. I'm working on getting A contract with A Record Label In Nashville. I'm not quitting My Country Music Job
I am thrilled for you. You are such a natural. I appreciate so much how you focused on verses directly from God's word instead of man's wisdom. We can never get enough of hearing what He has to say to us. You delivered His message so well. I kept hoping there was a camera on Chris while you were speaking because I would have loved to have seen how he was experiencing it being right there with you. Maybe we'll hear from him one day about it. Just when you think you can't love the Smiths more...
That scripture at the end of your sermon was right on I needed that…..Thanks for sharing…..Step out more God will meet you and give you the words to say….God Bless!
How does anyone give this a thumbs down? I stumbled on your story on you tube with an interview after you lost River. I have since watched your videos. What a beautiful family and your testimony was beautiful! God bless you!
Granger please don't quit music because whenever I'm upset your music makes me happy and you make awesome music I have all of your songs in my spotify playlist like them all the time.
I am a Christian and I have been in a very dark place lately. Last night I decided to listen to a sermon so I was going to find a sermon from The Porch because they are where I normally look... For what ever reason Granger's sermon came up so my curiosity had me clicking on it. It was what I needed right now. Thank you!
