Granger Smith feels 'relief' leaving country music to 'serve' God: 'I need to completely surrender'
The country music star, whose son River died in 2019, has written a memoir titled 'Like a River: Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Loss and Heartache
Granger Smith is walking away from his successful country music career – and he's relieved.
Earlier this month, the singer/songwriter took to his social media pages and announced that his upcoming "Like a River" tour, named after his son, would be his last. The 43-year-old is gearing up to devote his life to ministry at his local church outside of Austin, Texas. His final show is on Aug. 26.
"I have a huge feeling of relief now that … I’ve been able to tell the world exactly what my intentions are and what I’m going to do," the "Happens Like That" artist told Fox News Digital. "For the last few years, a handful of people had known that [I was] probably leaving country music. [And] it’s difficult to get on stage in different environments, in different cities and play music for people knowing, as I’m looking into their eyes, that I’m probably going to tell them in a few months that I’m not doing this anymore. That’s a difficult way to live. And so, there’s a big sense of relief now that I’ve told everyone."

Rep. Jim Walsh issues statement on passage of bill threatening parental rights
Rep. Jim Walsh issues statement on passage of bill threatening parental rights
During late-night floor debate, the House passed a bill denying notification to parents of runaway children seeking or receiving “protected health services” when entering a youth-related facility or host home.
Under Senate Bill 5599, children can stay at licensed youth shelters without their parent's knowledge for an indefinite amount of time while seeking medical treatments like gender-transitioning services and medications―including puberty “blockers” that can lead to permanent sterilization.
19th District State Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, issued the following statement regarding the bill's passage:
“Since the vote on SB 5599, I've been contacted by thousands of concerned Washingtonians about this attack on parents' rights and families. Sponsors and supporters of this bill have overstepped the constitution and case law in promoting this policy, which would allow state bureaucrats to hide minor children from custodial parents and legal guardians. This bill is wrong—legally, ethically and morally.
“Among its many flaws, the bill assumes families that don't 'affirm' a child's short-term desires are being abusive. Wrong! Sometimes love requires parents to not affirm their child's whims. Loving parents guide their children as they grow. Sometimes that means saying 'no.'
“This is not the first policy approved this session that turns the power and machinery of state government against families. Lawmakers promoting these changes put wedges between children and their parents, grandparents and the people who love them.
“During floor debate, we heard the tired old cliche that 'it takes a village to raise a child.' That's false. That notion has resulted in exploding crime rates, homelessness and rising teen suicide rates in Washington. Enough. Parents are the primary stakeholders in their children's upbringing—not the government.”
SB 5599 was approved on a party-line vote of 57-39, 2 excused. The bill now heads to the Senate for a concurrence vote on the amended version of the bill.

This book seeks to turn our focus back to the place of man’s separation from God; thus helping to remind us how separation from God can happen so easily. Because we are inundated with so many decisions daily, it is important to measure accurately what God has said as opposed to what we desire for ourselves. Graciously, God provided a way for us to be reconciled to Him if we find ourselves not in His grace…1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Cross Life School was amazing today!
So often we get so caught up with SELF. With what WE’VE got going on that we fail to SEE others. I was listening to a Podcast today, 'Adventures in the Great Commission', you can find it on Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen/watch your podcast.
I was listening to Episode 27A ‘Dressed For Battle’. In the middle of it Ryan, lead by the voice of the Holy Ghost, really starts ministering to someone listening. That moment caught me and I remember being struck in my Spirit and saying, "I want that. To be able to hear and be led like that. Our ministers are so good about moving how the Spirit guides them regardless of the situation they are in.” Then the Holy Ghost spoke to me and said, “you can. It takes sacrifice. It takes looking at others and not yourself most of the time.” I was then reminded of a message Apostle Jenni preached back on Nov. 29, 2020 called “Stuff”. It’s a message of self-examination no doubt!
There is a point ishe made regarding others as well: Are we so focused and concerned when we get to, and are at church about US and what we have going on or what our need is that we can’t see others?!
I’m reminded of the scripture in II Corinthians 5:15 “...and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”
If we’re to live unto HIM that means seeing, reaching out and ministering to OTHERS with the focus NOT on us - Oye! Ouch, that hurt! Thank you Lord for bringing Your Truth right to the doorstep of my heart…
Philippians 2:3-4 says, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainflory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” Oh Lord, I know I need to get better!
Just an encouragement to you today, let us ALL endeavor even more to look at others. To seek their heart and need BEFORE ours.
