Speaker 1: My greatest fear is losing my wife. When I was single,
Speaker 1: I didn't have any fear. I just do anything crazy,
Speaker 1: why I'll be out there. But ever since she came
Speaker 1: into my life, she's made me a better man and
Speaker 1: she brings out the best of me. She's a shining
Speaker 1: light in this dark world. I always said I don't
Speaker 1: need anybody, and then she came into my life and
Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more wrong. She means everything to me.
Speaker 1: A lot of people say that they couldn't live without
Speaker 1: their significant other, but the truth is we can't. However,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I don't want to imagine life without her.
Speaker 1: Very special occasion on the podcast to have my wife,
Speaker 1: my favorite guest, my favorite returning guest. You haven't been
Speaker 1: on the podcast in a long time. I have not.

Speaker 1: comes out, we will have just gotten back from Illinois, Ohio,
Speaker 1: and Michigan for the first time since the pandemic. Getting
Speaker 1: back to those three states. Yeah, and I feel like
Speaker 1: going to those states is going to be like kicking
Speaker 1: over an ant pile where they're just ready. Yeah, they've
Speaker 1: been contained for too long. Yeah, I know, I know that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just gonna be insane. And then after that we're

Speaker 1: into that here. Almost a race one. No, don't race it, okay.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start kind of easy, okay, and then
Speaker 1: we'll get hard. And I have no idea what any
Speaker 1: of these say. No. By the way, none of my
Speaker 1: guests are ever prepared for these. We don't. I keep notes.
Speaker 1: This is like we're sitting around a campfire and there's
Speaker 1: a third person and you say, Hey, I have a
Speaker 1: question something that's been going on. Kind to ask you,
Speaker 1: and it could be about any subject. I usually start
Speaker 1: with the little soft ones. I've read these maybe once
Speaker 1: just to put them into a category, but I haven't
Speaker 1: studied or anything else. This one's called Beard, says hey,
Speaker 1: Granger and Amber. My name is Kaylee. I think that's
Speaker 1: it's k A. L. E Y Kaylee. I'm from Magnolia,
Speaker 1: Texas and a member of the Fight in Texas. AUGI,
Speaker 1: class of twenty seventeen, says, I love your music and
Speaker 1: your family as a Christian. I love y'all being so
Speaker 1: open with your faith and having discussions so regularly about Christianity.
Speaker 1: Digging the new album by Boy Baseball is my current favorite.
Speaker 1: Lincoln too, Yeah, so, Kaylee says, So my question is,
Speaker 1: has Granger ever had a beard? And have you ever
Speaker 1: tried to grow on amber? How would you feel about
Speaker 1: Granger with a beard? With all of your brothers so
Speaker 1: clean shaven, I feel like it's it might be really interesting.
Speaker 1: Maybe photoshop one to get an idea. Thanks for the
Speaker 1: time to read my question. Blessings peace, Kaylee. Thanks Kaylee.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen you with an actual
Speaker 1: beard beard. I mean you used to do that no
Speaker 1: shave November and that would be the longest that it
Speaker 1: ever got. But it's still never been like a beard.
Speaker 1: I just can't I can't grow a really thick beard.
Speaker 1: And now when I grow anything, there's like patches of
Speaker 1: gray in there. Yeah, so I like the then it
Speaker 1: just looks like more patches. So Tyler has the least
Speaker 1: facial hair. He has the most Native American in him.
Speaker 1: At least that's what my grandmother would tell us, is
Speaker 1: if you had the more patches you have, the more
Speaker 1: Native American blood you have, and she's a quarter of Cherokee.
Speaker 1: Comment below. If that's a myth, I think it is.
Speaker 1: You just look at Native American heritage and culture and
Speaker 1: their genetics. They don't have beard. They don't, and so
Speaker 1: some of the Scandinavian genetics have heavy beards, and so
Speaker 1: it's whatever, whatever gene pool you get, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and Americans were all of such a mix. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think it bother me if you had a beard.
Speaker 1: I just I don't think I can envision you with
Speaker 1: a beard. There's that in between little stubble that hurts,
Speaker 1: you know. It's like it's either super short or it's
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. But that in between stubble is
Speaker 1: what hurts. And it bothers the kids, like he's always
Speaker 1: loving on them and kissing on their cheeks and stuff,
Speaker 1: and it always leaves little red marks, yeah, on their face.
Speaker 1: But no, he's never had a beard. Pastor Chad just
Speaker 1: texted me he must know that I'm sitting here talking
Speaker 1: only getting jealous. Thank you, Kaylee, Thanks for the question.
Speaker 1: I'm going to dig into another softball for you. How
Speaker 1: many podcasts Amber have you done besides me? Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: that's not a question. I'm asking you that question. Maybe ten?
Speaker 1: How many podcasts have you done where you have to
Speaker 1: talk about your river story? All of them except every
Speaker 1: single one? Yeah? Yeah, I think maybe ten to ten
Speaker 1: or eleven I think I've done with other people. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going to try to turn your Rise with Amber
Speaker 1: on YouTube. I'm going to turn that into a podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm at episode like sixty two or something. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah, here's another one that since subject line
Speaker 1: is kids chores, at what age did your kids start
Speaker 1: doing chores? And what was it? I grew up and
Speaker 1: still live on a dairy farm in central Iowa, So
Speaker 1: chores started at a young age. For me, chores started
Speaker 1: at age four hatching chicks, and shortly after that it
Speaker 1: was bottle feeding calves, and that led to milking cows.
Speaker 1: This is from Love Dairy Cows. Oh okay, I know,
Speaker 1: Love dairy couse. Yeah, so our kids do chores, but
Speaker 1: we don't have It's not as regimented as we needed
Speaker 1: to be. We were just talking about that today we
Speaker 1: actually London and I just made their chore listing in
Speaker 1: today because we kind of get sidetracked. They do chor chores, yes,
Speaker 1: but the problem is, as you know, those of you
Speaker 1: that are parents, it becomes a chore for the parent
Speaker 1: to come up with a choor list because they're not
Speaker 1: really helping out the homestead. Yeah, they can't a little bit,
Speaker 1: but they're not really really contributing to the survival of
Speaker 1: the homestead. They're just doing meaningless things because we know
Speaker 1: that they need to have chores and they need to
Speaker 1: be busy. Yeah, so so far we have We're living
Speaker 1: in the RV in the barn, so we have a
Speaker 1: lot of condensation that drips from the RV, so Lincoln
Speaker 1: when Lincoln Stores is dumping the buckets of condensation that
Speaker 1: fill up. They have just five gallon buckets for a
Speaker 1: seven year old. Those are heavy. We have them feed
Speaker 1: all the animals that's the cat all dogs, chickens, goats,
Speaker 1: chicken water, dog water, catwater. They do laundry most of
Speaker 1: the time. I'll fold it and then they have to
Speaker 1: go put it all away. If we need them to
Speaker 1: add an extra chore, then they have to actually do
Speaker 1: the laundry, to fold it all themselves, put it all
Speaker 1: away themselves. Lincoln likes to clean the toilet, which is weird,
Speaker 1: but we get those little scrubbers that turn blue, so
Speaker 1: he enjoys that. So I'm like, okay, we used to
Speaker 1: have him take out the trash in the ARV. We've
Speaker 1: kind of slacked on that, but we wrote that down
Speaker 1: again today. We'll get that when we move into the house.
Speaker 1: We'll get into taking off the trash. They help me
Speaker 1: in the garden, vacuum the RV. They do a lot
Speaker 1: of things. And so when they're in school, we have
Speaker 1: a thirty minute deal. Yeah, so it has to be
Speaker 1: a solid thirty minutes of work four screen. Some of
Speaker 1: you might hear that and be like, that's not very long.
Speaker 1: But for a kid, solid working, there's no breaks, there's
Speaker 1: no taking a rest, there's no I got to go
Speaker 1: get a drink of water. It's like we'll start the
Speaker 1: clock and you have to work hard for thirty minutes straight.
Speaker 1: And that's on top of the normal all the stuff
Speaker 1: you said dump in the buckets, that's on top of
Speaker 1: all that. But the thirty minute chore is on top
Speaker 1: of all the house George it's something we think of
Speaker 1: that day, and that's what you're talking about. That's harder
Speaker 1: to think of. Yeah, like it was during the whole
Speaker 1: ice storm and stuff, we had them stacking firewood and
Speaker 1: stacking firewood was every day for you know, because we
Speaker 1: had so much firewood, or pulling brush piles, pulling brush piles,
Speaker 1: trim and think trim and trees. Yeah. So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a long way to answer that. It's a work in progress.
Speaker 1: But our kids do chores every single day. At what
Speaker 1: age did they start this email? Ask? Maybe five? Five?
Speaker 1: Five years old? And then as they get older, the
Speaker 1: chores will get heavier and longer and they could both
Speaker 1: drive the ranger now. And that's on top of little
Speaker 1: things like making their bed and cleaning their cleaning up
Speaker 1: their area and stuff like that. Yeah, that's stuff like
Speaker 1: that brush your teeth. That just has that has to
Speaker 1: happen anyway. Yeah, now, Amber, I'm gonna throw it to you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw you some of these subject lines. We
Speaker 1: have What should I do? We have dating as an adult?
Speaker 1: I have personal problem? Please read me. We have we
Speaker 1: have Hey, I need some advice, we have write a book,
Speaker 1: question mark podcast, question my greatest fear A question for
Speaker 1: amber they need to stick out to you. I gotta
Speaker 1: do that one. But the one that stood out to
Speaker 1: me just a second ago was no, you can't remember
Speaker 1: good down A personal problem. Personal problem exclamation point, yeah,
Speaker 1: it says, Hey, mister Smith. My name is Ethan Vargo.
Speaker 1: I'm fifteen years old. I live in Ninevah, Indiana. I
Speaker 1: love your music. I love listening to your podcast. I
Speaker 1: have listened to every single one multiple times. Wow. I
Speaker 1: don't watch YouTube, so unfortunately I can't watch your channels,
Speaker 1: but I bet they are great. Thanks buddy. I turn
Speaker 1: up your music on the radio when I'm working and
Speaker 1: all of my guy friends love it too. My question
Speaker 1: is about my personal life. I've been looking for the
Speaker 1: right girl for me for years now. At first, I
Speaker 1: liked being single because it gave me a little more freedom,
Speaker 1: but it's become unbearably lonely. The thing is, I don't
Speaker 1: want to end up settling down with someone that I
Speaker 1: don't really love, and I can't seem to find someone.
Speaker 1: I've done my best to stay optimistic about the future,
Speaker 1: but now I'm doubting if there's someone out there at all.
Speaker 1: Let alone actually meant for me, how could I remain faithful,
Speaker 1: how could I stay hopeful? And how can I maximize
Speaker 1: my chances of finding someone I really love. I hear
Speaker 1: all the time about people finding their wife their true
Speaker 1: love at a really young age, and it's hard for
Speaker 1: me to stay optimistic about my future with all of
Speaker 1: that happening around me. I know it's a hard question
Speaker 1: to answered, but you always know what to say, and
Speaker 1: you have great wisdom and knowledge about life. I feel
Speaker 1: like this question is super important to me to be answered,
Speaker 1: especially by you. I also want to be clear that
Speaker 1: I'm not saying my life is bad, and I know
Speaker 1: that compared to some this is very minuscule. I would
Speaker 1: be honored if you help me with this. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for your time. Ye yee, Ethan, it's hard
Speaker 1: to be a fifteen year old. Fifteen year old riding that.
Speaker 1: It's hard. I was reading that thinking, Wow, this is
Speaker 1: very in depth for a fifty teens. Yeah, thinking that
Speaker 1: is so many in their like early thirties, late late twenties,
Speaker 1: early thirties, who's really searching? So I'm Ethan, I'm going
Speaker 1: to take it. Yeah, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna You're gonna be nice to him, aren't you. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be rude, but I'll be honest. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start at the end and just kind of
Speaker 1: sum up that he said. He said to me, He said,
Speaker 1: I know this is a hard question to answer, but
Speaker 1: you always know what to say, and you have great
Speaker 1: wisdom and knowledge about life. Thank you in some subjects maybe,
Speaker 1: but he said, I would be honored if you help me.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take that. I'm going to take
Speaker 1: that that you that you set me up for this,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna say, Ethan, chill out, chill out, dude. Yeah, Bro,
Speaker 1: you're fifteen. That is really old for a kid. It's
Speaker 1: really young for an adult. Right, You're just in that
Speaker 1: in between age. You're really really old mature, very smart
Speaker 1: kid and a very young, immature adult. You're right in between.
Speaker 1: And because of that, buddy, you say, there's people around
Speaker 1: you finding their true love very young. I don't know them.
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that met their true love when
Speaker 1: they're fifteen. No. I know I know one guy and
Speaker 1: went to college with him and he's now divorced. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I know a couple people who might have they
Speaker 1: might have met who they're now married to at a
Speaker 1: super young age, but they went through heck and back
Speaker 1: and they're still going through ups and downs. So while
Speaker 1: you could possibly find your true love at fifteen, you
Speaker 1: guys are going to change and grow so much over
Speaker 1: the next five, ten, fifteen years that you're going to
Speaker 1: have to go through a lot of battles together. And
Speaker 1: you don't. I mean, I know you probably feel like
Speaker 1: you know who you are right now, but you're still
Speaker 1: developing into into who you're meant to be, and you're
Speaker 1: going to change so much. And I get the feeling
Speaker 1: of feeling lonely or wanting like a companionship, or wanting
Speaker 1: just to go to the movies with somebody or something
Speaker 1: like that. But I don't feel like you should be
Speaker 1: searching for your one true love right now. There's so
Speaker 1: much that you need to do for you as a
Speaker 1: fifteen year old. Yeah, you say, you say that you're
Speaker 1: unbearably lonely, and you say you've been looking for the
Speaker 1: right girl for years, which you're fifteen. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: if you're twelve doing this. Maybe you're just a true
Speaker 1: romantic at heart. And I love that. But that's and
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to be rude. I'm trying to Ethan
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I'm speaking to you like I would
Speaker 1: speak to me at fifteen, and I remember, yeah, or
Speaker 1: my children, and you know, I remember being fifteen. And
Speaker 1: it's kind of like you have horse blinders on and
Speaker 1: you can't look right or left. You only see right
Speaker 1: there what's in front of you, and everything seems, in
Speaker 1: your words, unbearably lonely. And so you're asking to maximize
Speaker 1: your chances. Are fine, if you were forty, this would
Speaker 1: be this would be a legit email. But you need
Speaker 1: a double down on your guy friends, double down on
Speaker 1: maybe playing a sport or some kind of really in
Speaker 1: depth hobby. Did he say anything about hobbies besides working
Speaker 1: and turning up the radio. Yeah. I think I think
Speaker 1: you're missing something. I think there's something in your life
Speaker 1: that you don't have right now, and you're taking it
Speaker 1: out on the idea that you're just missing your love
Speaker 1: of your life. The odds of you finding the love
Speaker 1: of your life now are like point zero zero zero
Speaker 1: zero zero one percent. You're not going to find her.
Speaker 1: You're not going to find her at fifteen, and if
Speaker 1: you do, it's a rocky road ahead. Imagine you find
Speaker 1: the love of your life now, and imagine where you're
Speaker 1: going to be in seven years and you're twenty two
Speaker 1: and you're with the same girl, and you guys, have
Speaker 1: been through this journey, and then you're still just twenty two.
Speaker 1: I just I don't see the good in this. I
Speaker 1: don't see the good in this desire. And I see
Speaker 1: that you are missing something else. Yeah, like you said,
Speaker 1: double down on your friends. I mean, I think it's
Speaker 1: a feeling of wanting friendship and companionship and someone to
Speaker 1: do things with or experience certain things of life with.
Speaker 1: So I think that may be where we should focus. Yep,
Speaker 1: don't don't look for a girlfriend. You will find God
Speaker 1: will put someone in your life. You will find who
Speaker 1: you are meant to be with. It doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be at fifteen years old. So give yourself some time
Speaker 1: and just like like Granger said, just chill out a
Speaker 1: little bit, pump the brakes a little bit. And we're
Speaker 1: totally not trying to be rude by any means, But
Speaker 1: you have so much life ahead of you. Thank you, Ethan,
Speaker 1: and thank you for writing that's been in my cue
Speaker 1: list for a long time that email, and Chad and
Speaker 1: Bernie and those guys didn't pick it. So I'm glad
Speaker 1: we got it today because I've been wanting to read that.
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to tell you that, Ethan's ever since
Speaker 1: you sent it. So anyone else that's around that age,
Speaker 1: I get a lot of those kind of emails that
Speaker 1: same age, thinking the same thing. So anyone else please
Speaker 1: apply that to you. You just don't need to find
Speaker 1: a love of your life, and there's more bad that
Speaker 1: can come out of it right now than good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: How about the one that says write a book? Okay,
Speaker 1: it says, have you and your wife ever thought about
Speaker 1: writing a book together about your life, your take on
Speaker 1: at the kids, struggles you've dealt with and you're dealing
Speaker 1: with since the loss of your son, God, et cetera.
Speaker 1: It'd be really inspired story, and I believe it would
Speaker 1: touch a lot of hearts and people. I would definitely
Speaker 1: read it because I love hearing people's stories, the raw, unfiltered,
Speaker 1: just honest and genuine life stories. I haven't dugged too
Speaker 1: far into your podcast yet, just starting to listen to
Speaker 1: them as I drive to school. Maybe you've already been
Speaker 1: asked this, I don't know, but hopefully you'll eventually write
Speaker 1: one thank you. It doesn't have a name on here,
Speaker 1: so I won't read the name of the email, but
Speaker 1: thank you so much for writing thank you for the question.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a thought we've thought about. Shall we get
Speaker 1: asked this quite a bit? Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I've ever answered it specifically on this podcast. I've definitely
Speaker 1: thought about writing book and have dabbled in starting it,
Speaker 1: and then then I start thinking of other things and
Speaker 1: write other things. But it's definitely in my future. What
Speaker 1: about you. Absolutely I love the idea of writing our
Speaker 1: stories both coming from my own our own perspective. So
Speaker 1: I've read a couple of books where the wife will
Speaker 1: have one chapter, then the husband is in the next chapter,
Speaker 1: and it's just really cool to see their different perspectives
Speaker 1: and their different moments in time and read it from
Speaker 1: their eyes. I guess so I think that would be
Speaker 1: something cool, But I just don't know how we would
Speaker 1: mesh that together with our whole lives, or if it
Speaker 1: would just be our marriage and what we've gone through
Speaker 1: and our faith. We've even talked about like doing a
Speaker 1: devotional before, like you and I doing a devotional or something.
Speaker 1: But and that just reminded me for some reason. Ethan,
Speaker 1: if you're still listening, if you didn't get mad and
Speaker 1: delete the podcast yet. I met Amber at thirty and
Speaker 1: you were twenty eight. Twenty eight, so I was double
Speaker 1: your age. Yeah, and we both went through a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff before that, So just be patient and relationship wise,
Speaker 1: before Amber, none of it was good. So, yeah, were
Speaker 1: you going to talk about your book now though? I can? Yeah,
Speaker 1: do it. I don't think you've ever brought that up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't haven't released this info yet, So this is
Speaker 1: kind of good intel. After we LOSTRIV, I had a
Speaker 1: really good friend of mine who I met years and
Speaker 1: years ago at a mom's club here in Texas. She
Speaker 1: is a writer, and she wrote this really beautiful poem
Speaker 1: about RIV and about heaven, and I just read it
Speaker 1: and I just had all these visions of pictures coming
Speaker 1: to life. And so she and I joined forces. We
Speaker 1: kind of tweaked some things, and we turned this poem
Speaker 1: into a children's book, and so we've We've got this amazing,
Speaker 1: incredible artist and she's she's done all these all the
Speaker 1: spreads it's almost completely done. I'm in the phase of
Speaker 1: needing to purchase it now. I haven't even released the title.
Speaker 1: Should we release the title or no? We could say
Speaker 1: that it's it's it's based on something that River said
Speaker 1: one time, but it's it's for children. It's beautiful and
Speaker 1: I'm excited to release that this year. We're almost completely ready.
Speaker 1: So it's just a poem turned into a book. So
Speaker 1: that well, that fully answers this question. Then yeah, is
Speaker 1: there another one that start? We have time for one
Speaker 1: more before break? Yes, you say we have. Here's miscarriage
Speaker 1: and family mental health, a question for Amber. I like
Speaker 1: the question for Amber, and then maybe miscarrigon family's two
Speaker 1: question for Amber right now before the break, will take
Speaker 1: a break and do some more. Says hello, y'all, I'm
Speaker 1: Brad Big Jay Johnson from Land or Texas. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Land or right down the road for us. My
Speaker 1: question is for Amber. Is there any way to get
Speaker 1: the River Kelly Fund on Amazon's smile. I give the
Speaker 1: Texas Firewalkers now, but I would change if I could
Speaker 1: do the River Kelly Fund. Ps to Granger. I met
Speaker 1: you at the Dixie Chicken. I can't remember what year,
Speaker 1: but I was with my dad and other firefighters. My
Speaker 1: dad teaches at the Text Fire School tee X Fire School,
Speaker 1: So we get a lot of questions about this. People
Speaker 1: want to give to the River Fund through Amazon Smile,
Speaker 1: through the Facebook, like you can do fundraisers through Facebook,
Speaker 1: and we are The River Kelly Fund is housed under
Speaker 1: another five oh one C three organization out of Nashville,
Speaker 1: so it's really hard to find the River Kelly Fund
Speaker 1: set up that way. So it's housed under the Community
Speaker 1: Foundation of Middle Tennessee. So you might be able to
Speaker 1: search that on Amazon Smile. You have to search that
Speaker 1: and then you would have to put in River Kelly
Speaker 1: Fund is where the funds would go. So I don't
Speaker 1: really know if that would be said if we could
Speaker 1: do that through Amazon at this time, I can look
Speaker 1: into it. But you can do that through Facebook through
Speaker 1: the Facebook donations if you search Community Foundation of Middle
Speaker 1: Tennessee and then just make sure whenever you write it
Speaker 1: in the summary that it's for the River Kelly Fund. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Brad, thank you for your service. If I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't remember if you are a firefighter, or your
Speaker 1: dad is or your buddies are but or you just
Speaker 1: donate to them. But regardless, I think you are so
Speaker 1: thank you for your service. We have because that was
Speaker 1: so quick, we have time for one more thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you want to try Mitch Carriage and Family. How
Speaker 1: much time I got time? Okay? Ten minutes? Okay? Hey Grangeer.
Speaker 1: My name is Alyssa. I'm from Minnesota. Thank you for
Speaker 1: all you do. I'm a fan of yours since they
Speaker 1: were there video came out. I've been binge listening to
Speaker 1: your podcast for a couple months now and it's helped
Speaker 1: me through a miscarriage. My husband and I have a
Speaker 1: three year old son, and this would have been let
Speaker 1: me read that again. My husband and I had an
Speaker 1: almost three year old son. This would have been our
Speaker 1: second child. Your podcast, particularly a couple episodes went amber
Speaker 1: your life experience and your faith in God have helped
Speaker 1: me through and shape my perspective on the situation. My
Speaker 1: question is how do you make sure my husband? How
Speaker 1: do I make sure my husband is okay during this
Speaker 1: emotional time? How do I check in with him about
Speaker 1: the miscarriage without nagging him? And do we try again?
Speaker 1: I'm scared to death of this emotional pain, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if I could handle another pregnancy ending this way.
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking my question. I wish you and
Speaker 1: Amber the best, Alissa, thank you, Alyssa. And first let
Speaker 1: me just say I'm sorry that you guys had to
Speaker 1: go through that. I know we know firsthand what that
Speaker 1: feels like. I feel like you could probably answer better
Speaker 1: about how how the man would how you handled it,
Speaker 1: or how how she could help her husband through that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's interesting because we you know, we lost River, our son,
Speaker 1: and then we had a miscarriage, and we don't talk
Speaker 1: about the miscarriage too often, and so we can't we
Speaker 1: can't overlook that pain and a lot of people experience this.
Speaker 1: What's the odds, Well, I think twenty three one in three,
Speaker 1: But I think because we went through such a tragedy before,
Speaker 1: and we grew so much in our faith before, we
Speaker 1: were much more prepared for another loss, and so we
Speaker 1: just looked at it differently. But a lot of times
Speaker 1: this is this is people's first first time going through this,
Speaker 1: so it's much heavier. And not saying that ours was
Speaker 1: light at all, we just had a very a different
Speaker 1: perspective after losing riv healing our faith, so we just
Speaker 1: have it have we just had a different outlook on it.
Speaker 1: I think of God's sovereignty and his will and and
Speaker 1: you're right, and Alyssa mentions here your faith in God. Well,
Speaker 1: through that faith, I have learned personally that Alyssa, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't call this baby hang on a second.
Speaker 1: That was I'm just not figuring out this story. My husband,
Speaker 1: I had an almost three year old son, and this
Speaker 1: would have been okay, so the miscarriage would have been
Speaker 1: the second child, okay, good, good, good good. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I was more worried about you through the miscarriage. So
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, Alyssa, about your husband. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how to speak to him through this
Speaker 1: because you go back to the faith in God. Amber
Speaker 1: and I Amber and I just we both totally believe
Speaker 1: in the sovereignty of God and that everything that happens, everything,
Speaker 1: I mean, we even talked about we talked about the
Speaker 1: roly police in our barn. There's hundreds of roly polies
Speaker 1: and they're all crawling around, and the sovereignty of God
Speaker 1: controls the roly police. Something even is minute as that.
Speaker 1: It's like the old song He's got the whole wide
Speaker 1: world in his hands, the whole wide world in his hands.
Speaker 1: He just does. There's a pastor that we listen to
Speaker 1: that talks about the fizz and a diet coke, and
Speaker 1: every bubble pops and rises to the top according to
Speaker 1: the sovereignty of God. So of course that includes miscarriages.
Speaker 1: And Amber and I are just such faithful believers in
Speaker 1: the sovereignty of God that when the miscarriage happened. Now
Speaker 1: we haven't always been like this, but recently, through a
Speaker 1: lot of prayer and a lot of growth, a lot
Speaker 1: of study, when the miscarriage happened, we just we praise God.
Speaker 1: We did. We just said thank you God, because You're
Speaker 1: in control. Yeah, and this baby was not supposed to
Speaker 1: be born. We don't know why he does it. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was something wrong with the baby, or maybe we
Speaker 1: weren't ready. He knew that, or maybe it was so
Speaker 1: that we could speak into this podcast and talk to Alyssa. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know the reason. I'm not even gonna guess,
Speaker 1: but I do know that he was in control of it,
Speaker 1: and I know that he was in control of yours.
Speaker 1: Such peace, thinking that it's so so that there's such
Speaker 1: a peace of mind just going I'm not in control. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what if nothing that you did or could have done
Speaker 1: or And that that also gave us so much peace
Speaker 1: is that it wasn't my fault. It's not your fault.
Speaker 1: There's there's things in life this side of heaven we
Speaker 1: will not ever understand. And that doesn't take away the pain.
Speaker 1: I know it hurts, it's difficult, it's hard, it's devastating.
Speaker 1: But towards the end, you say that you're scared. So
Speaker 1: now you speak to her. Yeah, you say that you're
Speaker 1: scared to try again. If I can encourage you in
Speaker 1: any way, don't live in fear of trying again and
Speaker 1: put it in your head that it may happen again.
Speaker 1: You know, we tried again, and we just said, you know,
Speaker 1: if it's not in God's plan, if it's not in
Speaker 1: God's will, we will accept that. But don't be afraid
Speaker 1: to try again. If I'm scared to death to this
Speaker 1: emotional pain, I don't know if I could handle another
Speaker 1: pregnancy ending this way. Yeah. Also, I've also read though
Speaker 1: you're much more fertile after a miscarriage, So there's that
Speaker 1: to to try to try again and I pray and pray,
Speaker 1: you know, pray, pray, pray to God, but not just
Speaker 1: for that baby. Pray for peace, pray for comfort, pray
Speaker 1: for strength, and pray for God's will to help you
Speaker 1: through anything that does happen. As far as your husband,
Speaker 1: I know you said, how do I'm curious? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how he's grieving, so maybe he's maybe
Speaker 1: he's taking it a lot harder than you imagined or
Speaker 1: or something. But just short short of just open lines
Speaker 1: of communication, right, just asking him, just asking him and guys,
Speaker 1: are babe, how are you doing? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? And he might be like, fine,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. That opens up the conversation to do and
Speaker 1: try again. And if it was me and this was
Speaker 1: me and you talking, I would want to know are
Speaker 1: you ready to try? Because I'm ready, you know, So
Speaker 1: maybe he is, But yeah, Alyssa, don't. The time is now.
Speaker 1: The time to make that next baby is now. And
Speaker 1: if you have another miscarriage, which you might, then that
Speaker 1: wasn't in your control either, and that wasn't in your cards.
Speaker 1: But you don't want to miss the dance. As Garth
Speaker 1: Brooks would say, You'll live your whole life wondering, you know,
Speaker 1: what if what could have? What could have been? Our
Speaker 1: lives are better left the chance. Yeah, could have missed
Speaker 1: the pain, but I'd have to miss the dance. The
Speaker 1: time is now, The time is now to try it.
Speaker 1: The the positive you can get out of it as
Speaker 1: a baby, you know, the negative you can get is
Speaker 1: is painful. It's very You don't want to ever discount
Speaker 1: the pain of a miscarriage. It's very painful. But the
Speaker 1: odds of getting a baby, though, are so much greater.
Speaker 1: There's so much greater. Yeah, it's worth that risk. It's
Speaker 1: worth the pain for a chance of missing the dance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, We're gon't take a break,
Speaker 1: be right back. Podcast today is brought to you guys

Speaker 1: sponsoring this podcast today is a company called Away. They
Speaker 1: make really awesome travel suitcases. They sent me one. I
Speaker 1: start traveling with it. We've been touring like crazy, so
Speaker 1: I have given it the true test. I could sit
Speaker 1: here on this podcast and tell you exactly. I travel
Speaker 1: a lot. I throw suitcases in the bus, I throw
Speaker 1: it on airplanes, I throw it in the luggage compartment
Speaker 1: in planes, and drag it through all kinds of airports
Speaker 1: and gravel and roads. So I have put this this
Speaker 1: suitcase to the test, and I absolutely love it. It's
Speaker 1: super lightweight, and it has the exact like these zippers
Speaker 1: go all the way around it and on the top
Speaker 1: the zippers. The top of the zippers actually fit. They
Speaker 1: hook into a lock and then the lock has a
Speaker 1: little coated dial, so then you come up with your
Speaker 1: code and it's locked through the zippers, which I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like that before. It's it's a really really
Speaker 1: cool design. And I'm way off the script here because
Speaker 1: I could just go on and on about this suitcase.
Speaker 1: Mine even has a little charging battery that slides in
Speaker 1: by the handle of the suitcase. It slides in there
Speaker 1: and you could pop it out and recharge it, but
Speaker 1: then it serves as like a battery pack. So when
Speaker 1: your phone is out of battery and you're traveling, or
Speaker 1: you're in an uber or an airport like I always am,
Speaker 1: and you're like, my phone's about to die, there's your
Speaker 1: charging station. So it works out great all of the way.
Speaker 1: Suitcases are designed to last a lifetime, with durable exteriors
Speaker 1: that can withstand the toughest of baggage handlers like me.

Speaker 1: a built in compression pad to help you pack in
Speaker 1: more and a hidden removable laundry bag that separates your
Speaker 1: dirty clothes. Four three hundred and sixty degrees spinner wheels,
Speaker 1: guaranteed smoothest role even through the most hectic airports and stations,

Speaker 1: I love Old Abeles Junior, that's that's great. But the
Speaker 1: people that say I love your podcast, I look them
Speaker 1: in the eye and it's like, oh, okay, yeah, we
Speaker 1: understand each other, like we've been if you listen to
Speaker 1: this podcast, we've been down some journeys. Like we've been
Speaker 1: down some valleys with me and Jad and Bernie and
Speaker 1: Jaleb and Parker and you. I mean we have we
Speaker 1: have been on a journey. So we understand each other
Speaker 1: at a deeper level. When you say you're a podcast
Speaker 1: listener at a meet and greet, you want to get
Speaker 1: into another question. I do we have a what should
Speaker 1: I do? We have dating as an adult? Please read
Speaker 1: me Granger needs some advice. Podcast question My Greatest Fear,
Speaker 1: mental health question for the podcast and question on the
Speaker 1: River Kelly Fund. Let's do my greatest fear. My greatest fear,
Speaker 1: says Hey Granger. My greatest fear is losing my wife.
Speaker 1: When I was single, I didn't have any fear. I
Speaker 1: just do anything crazy, why I'll be out there. But
Speaker 1: ever since she came into my life, she has made
Speaker 1: me a better man, and she brings out the best
Speaker 1: of me. She's a shining light in this dark world.
Speaker 1: I always said I don't need anybody, and then she
Speaker 1: came into my life and I couldn't have been more wrong.
Speaker 1: She means everything to me. A lot of people say
Speaker 1: that they couldn't live without their significant other, but the
Speaker 1: truth is we can't. However, I can't imagine. I don't
Speaker 1: want to imagine life without her. Thank you. Brandon from Decatur, Alabama.
Speaker 1: Brandon is thirty four. Brandon thirty four years old to Cater, Alabama.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Alabama, Roll Tide or war Eagle, whatever
Speaker 1: you prefer. Where do you want to start? What the
Speaker 1: what is could be? I can totally understand a fear
Speaker 1: of losing someone you love. I mean, I think we
Speaker 1: all ask humans have that fear. We all don't want
Speaker 1: to lose somebody that we love. But let me just
Speaker 1: tell you, and I hate to be blunt, but whatever
Speaker 1: is going to happen in this life is already written.
Speaker 1: It's already in the cards, and we don't know what
Speaker 1: that's going to be. We don't know when any of
Speaker 1: us are going to go home. And I can just
Speaker 1: tell you going through our loss, I didn't want to
Speaker 1: lose my precious Sun. I didn't have any control over that.
Speaker 1: And I can tell you that even if something I
Speaker 1: pray it doesn't, but if that does happen, you will
Speaker 1: be okay. You can make it through any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: Don't live your life worrying every day about something happening
Speaker 1: to your wife. You know. I feel like I kind
Speaker 1: of did that with my kids. And you know, you worry,
Speaker 1: you're running behind them every you know you're two seconds
Speaker 1: behind them. And I still didn't have any control over
Speaker 1: my son going home. So pleased, I just if I
Speaker 1: can encourage you, don't live your life and fear. And
Speaker 1: then another thing that I felt whenever you're reading that is,
Speaker 1: you know, the Bible speaks of idols, and I was
Speaker 1: really convicted of this with River. And we can make
Speaker 1: people our idols. Ye, you can make your husband or
Speaker 1: your wife an idol and place them above above the Lord.
Speaker 1: And I felt after our loss with Riv that I
Speaker 1: was kind of making River an idol of mine. And
Speaker 1: the Lord convicted me about that, Like you need to
Speaker 1: be seeking Me above all else, seek me above your wife,
Speaker 1: seek me above your children, and that will give you
Speaker 1: peace and rest through any sort of fear. And if
Speaker 1: you're I hope you're not living in like debilitating fear
Speaker 1: of something happening to her every day. But seek the
Speaker 1: Lord and pray. But then you just have to You
Speaker 1: just have to live. It's like Granger said in the
Speaker 1: last question, you don't want to miss the dance. Enjoy,
Speaker 1: enjoy the moment, Enjoy the moments in front of you
Speaker 1: right now, be present every moment because all you have
Speaker 1: is today. So stop worring about tomorrow, because tomorrow has
Speaker 1: enough worry for itself. If I've missed anything sufficient for
Speaker 1: the day. So this question is these are kind of
Speaker 1: like really threading each other between this one and Ethan
Speaker 1: trying to find somebody at fifteen, and Alyssa after a miscarriage,
Speaker 1: wondering if she should haven't try for another baby or
Speaker 1: have that kind of hurt. And then we got Brandon,
Speaker 1: who's just desperately worried he's going to lose the love
Speaker 1: of his life. So you could thread these three questions
Speaker 1: so similar and just say, guys, for all three of you,
Speaker 1: we only have today. Because Brandon, right now, you have
Speaker 1: her today, you have her so lover like, you only
Speaker 1: have her for today. What kind of life would that
Speaker 1: look like if you have her for fifty more years
Speaker 1: you're thirty four, imagine going all the way to eighty
Speaker 1: five years old and loving her every day like it's
Speaker 1: the last. Not in a fear. Yeah, but I'm going
Speaker 1: to make the most of this and gratefulness, this gratefulness,
Speaker 1: this thankfulness knowing that I could. You could, dude, you
Speaker 1: could lose her. Yeah, you could lose her tomorrow to
Speaker 1: a car accident on her way home from work. I
Speaker 1: know people that this has happened to, and you do too,
Speaker 1: obviously that's why you're writing it. We're humans. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you probably won't. The odds are you won't. Yeah, A
Speaker 1: lot of times we worry about. Ninety percent of the
Speaker 1: stuff we worry about never happens. Yeah, and I would
Speaker 1: love her like there is no tomorrow, you only have today.
Speaker 1: And then to double up on Amber said, I would
Speaker 1: seek the Lord. I would dive into the Bible. People
Speaker 1: will go, what do you mean? What do you mean
Speaker 1: I'm talking about? For me in the mornings before everyone
Speaker 1: gets up, it's just me and the Bible. If you
Speaker 1: haven't done that before, I open up to like John
Speaker 1: John Chapter one, and I just go, God, I'm gonna,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna soak in your word here, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open up your inspired word. I'm gonna fall in
Speaker 1: love with this. And this is the truth that I
Speaker 1: need to hear this morning. Let me see that truth.
Speaker 1: Let me be hungry for this truth. And you read
Speaker 1: it and then the kids get up and your wife
Speaker 1: gets up, and then you go about your day. But
Speaker 1: you've built this foundation of truth where God says, I've
Speaker 1: made a promise to you that you might not see
Speaker 1: perfect days the rest of your life, but you will
Speaker 1: have peace in believing that promise that one day everything
Speaker 1: will be fulfilled. And that's what the Bible said, it's
Speaker 1: not my words, that's what the text says. And this
Speaker 1: kind of that thought will free you of this desperate
Speaker 1: fear of losing your wife. Instead, you just go, like
Speaker 1: we've said three times on this podcast, you just go. God,
Speaker 1: the days are up to you. You got the whole
Speaker 1: wide world in your hands, not my hand. Yeah, not
Speaker 1: in her hands, not in the drunk driver's hands. It's
Speaker 1: coming head on into her, not in the hurricane's hands.
Speaker 1: It's in your hands. You control all of that. And
Speaker 1: then then you can breathe, yeah, and pray and pray
Speaker 1: for him to take that fear away from you. A
Speaker 1: lot of times that's the enemy just creeping into your mind.
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked a lot. We talk a
Speaker 1: lot about renewing your mind every day. Pray for the Lord. Lord.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm nervous about this, take this fear away from me.
Speaker 1: Give me your peace. Yeah, yeah, thank you, Brandon. Thanks
Speaker 1: real tired war Eagle. Sorry, I I don't know which
Speaker 1: one you are. Back to the drawing board here we
Speaker 1: have what should I do? We have? Dating as an adult?
Speaker 1: Read me please? I need some advice, podcast question, mental
Speaker 1: health question for the podcast, and a question for River
Speaker 1: Kelly Fund Okay, you keep your inflection keeps changing on
Speaker 1: read me, please, so let's do that one. I don't
Speaker 1: know why it's actually in all lowercase. Okay, it says
Speaker 1: Hey Granger. I've always known you who you are, but
Speaker 1: I've recently watched all of your podcasts and videos and
Speaker 1: listen to all your songs all the time. My favorite
Speaker 1: is by Boy Baseball. Shout out for that song. Today,
Speaker 1: I drive so a lot of the time I have
Speaker 1: to put on a video and just listen for hours.
Speaker 1: I'm twenty three years old. Everything's going great for me.
Speaker 1: My fiance and I are about to get married in April.
Speaker 1: We bought a house last year. I just bought a
Speaker 1: brand new Silverado. It sounds like everything is going great,
Speaker 1: and it is. But I just have a little bit
Speaker 1: of a drinking problem. Every day when I get off
Speaker 1: I start drinking, and on the weekends I really like
Speaker 1: to pound them. I'm scared because I want to be
Speaker 1: a good, good example to my kids. We don't have
Speaker 1: any yet, and not a disappointment to my future wife.
Speaker 1: My parents are real alcoholics and we don't speak at
Speaker 1: all because they were pretty terrible parents. So what do
Speaker 1: you think so you would think I would have learned.
Speaker 1: I've never asked for help with anything. But you're a
Speaker 1: real inspiring guy and your music really speaks to me.
Speaker 1: And you seem to be so down to earth. By
Speaker 1: the way, when the virus is over, you should come
Speaker 1: to South Georgia, Tallahassee. Please keep me anonymous, so I
Speaker 1: won't give out his name, but he is from Georgia
Speaker 1: and shout out to Georgia. We would just we just
Speaker 1: moved one state over from Alabama. This email came in February,
Speaker 1: so that's why he mentioned the virus. So they're already married.
Speaker 1: So they are married, so we're kind of speaking into
Speaker 1: an existing deal here. Maybe he's made changes so far,
Speaker 1: we will know. Here's the thing, buddy, I can't say
Speaker 1: your name. Here's the thing. And I see this sometimes
Speaker 1: on these podcast questions, and I appreciate you guys being
Speaker 1: so open. You sound like such an awesome dude. You
Speaker 1: sound like a guy I would love to hang out with.
Speaker 1: But when I see these kind of questions come in
Speaker 1: the podcast and they answered them himselves, I don't even
Speaker 1: have to see everyone listening and me, I don't have
Speaker 1: to answer this because you already said, here's the deal,
Speaker 1: everything's great. You don't want to lose anything, Like here
Speaker 1: we go threadn this podcast with these other questions. Again
Speaker 1: here you are a guy that has everything going like
Speaker 1: you got the wife. You don't want a loser. Okay,
Speaker 1: just like the last question. So everything's going good, but
Speaker 1: you have a drinking problem. Why is that bad? Because
Speaker 1: your parents are alcoholics and you don't speak to them
Speaker 1: and their terrible parents. Sounds like you shouldn't drink bruh, Well,
Speaker 1: and don't they always say the first step is admitting
Speaker 1: that you have a problem. I mean, you directly admit it.
Speaker 1: I have a drinking problem. For a lot of people,
Speaker 1: they deny it, they hide it, they don't admit it.
Speaker 1: And I know you want to remain anonymous, but you're
Speaker 1: admitting it, at least to yourself and to us. And
Speaker 1: you already know in your mind what needs to happen.
Speaker 1: I think you're just you don't know how to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so many times so you say whenever I get off work,
Speaker 1: I start drinking on the weekends or really pound them. Man,
Speaker 1: you can't. You sound like a guy that can't have
Speaker 1: any right. You have to just cold turkey. You got
Speaker 1: a cold turkey. You're not even a cold beer with
Speaker 1: your buddies. One beer and that's it. You're not that guy.
Speaker 1: You're a zero. And that is not a bad thing.
Speaker 1: That's just your personality. Some people could have a few
Speaker 1: and if you're my brother Tyler, you can't stop. So
Speaker 1: certain people are like that. So here's my deal. You
Speaker 1: have to replace this. You have a habit of getting
Speaker 1: off work and drinking, and I have it on the weekend.
Speaker 1: You have to replace that with something else. So I
Speaker 1: don't know. I would say let's introduce coke zero. But
Speaker 1: you're going to get you need to go. You need
Speaker 1: to go through your whole routine of you probably on me.
Speaker 1: Imagine you're going home from work and you stop at
Speaker 1: the gas station and you get a six pack, so
Speaker 1: go grab some of that rain energy drink that I've
Speaker 1: been drinking lately instead. So you're still going in, You're
Speaker 1: still stopping at the same guys station and the same
Speaker 1: guys working the counter. You're going at the same fridges,
Speaker 1: but instead of going for the bud light, you're going
Speaker 1: over there and you're getting a pack of energy drinks.
Speaker 1: And so your mind, you're like tricking your mind and
Speaker 1: fulfilling this this habit, but you're breaking the loop of
Speaker 1: the actual alcohol well, and we don't know to what
Speaker 1: extent your alcohol, what it's doing to you and your girl,
Speaker 1: your fiance, or your wife at this time. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you have any anger issues or anything like that.
Speaker 1: You never said anything about that. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what you consider pounding on. I don't know if for
Speaker 1: you that's for it, or if for you that's a case.
Speaker 1: I do because I know you u nation and I
Speaker 1: have dealt with dudes like this most of my life,
Speaker 1: and they're in my band and they're around me, and
Speaker 1: they're friends and their fans. So I know this. I
Speaker 1: know who you are, and I know you're a great guy.
Speaker 1: Know you've got a great heart, and you're you're sensitive
Speaker 1: enough to write this long email, thoughtful email at twenty
Speaker 1: three years old. And so I think you also go
Speaker 1: public to your buddies. I was going to say, public
Speaker 1: to your buddies, and if your wife doesn't know, you
Speaker 1: need someone to hold you accountable. I was going to say,
Speaker 1: even maybe find a sponsor to start going to meetings.
Speaker 1: You know, if when you get off work you tend
Speaker 1: to go to the gas station. Go pull into a
Speaker 1: meeting instead and do that every day. And it's going
Speaker 1: to be hard. It's not going to be easy. No,
Speaker 1: it's right hard. You need, like Ranger said, you need
Speaker 1: to replace it. And if it's not going to get
Speaker 1: lacroix or something from the gas station, go pull into
Speaker 1: a meeting and sit in a meeting and admit it.
Speaker 1: Admit you're already saying, you know, you think you need
Speaker 1: a little bit of help. So I would go to
Speaker 1: some kind of meeting, try to find a sponsor. Call
Speaker 1: your wife on your if you're married, now call your
Speaker 1: wife on your way home and say, Babe, I'm really
Speaker 1: wanting to stop. Have her try to convince you to
Speaker 1: come straight home. Don't have any alcohol in your house.
Speaker 1: Don't buy wine or beer any think you're in your
Speaker 1: home because it's just like sugary food or snacks. If
Speaker 1: it's there, you're gonna drink it. So tell all of
Speaker 1: your friends, say, hey, guys, I got to tell y'all something.
Speaker 1: Shoot them a text, shoot them a group text to say,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell y'all something. I'm getting married and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make the best of my life as y'all
Speaker 1: probably know my parents are alcoholics and they're jerks, and
Speaker 1: guess what, I don't want to become that. So I'm
Speaker 1: taking a step. And this sounds crazy, and you guys
Speaker 1: might think I'm an idiot, but I'm gonna stop drinking.
Speaker 1: I'm still going to hang out. I'm still gonna be
Speaker 1: with y'all. But please challenge me. Watch me challenge me
Speaker 1: to say, hey, dude, don't don't touch that. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then I'll take on that challenge. But you guys all
Speaker 1: help me. Don't encourage me to drink with you. And
Speaker 1: if they do that, you need new friends to take
Speaker 1: a break from those friends. Yea. Your friends should be like, absolutely, bro,
Speaker 1: we got you. We'll be looking after you. You're the
Speaker 1: new designated driver. Yeah yeah, Actually you shouldn't even be
Speaker 1: going to bars if you if you can't be around it,
Speaker 1: I would just not go anywhere near it. If you
Speaker 1: like to pound them on the weekends, don't buy it.
Speaker 1: Don't go to bars you just have. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things. You have to stop cold Turkey And I'm
Speaker 1: going to go back to We're going to lead everything
Speaker 1: back to the to the Lord and the word. You
Speaker 1: can't do this alone. You can't. We can't fight any
Speaker 1: battles alone, especially this, because it's in your blood. And
Speaker 1: you know it's the lust of the eyes, the lust
Speaker 1: of the flesh, the pride of life. You know, we
Speaker 1: we want things to satisfy us, and we have to
Speaker 1: replace those things, those addictions, with the Lord. So appreciate you, man.
Speaker 1: I won't read your name on here, but thanks for
Speaker 1: writing it. And I know your story just got heard
Speaker 1: by a lot of people on this podcast that are
Speaker 1: probably going through something similar at Yee Nation. So thanks
Speaker 1: for right, Thanks for being the brave one man, thanks
Speaker 1: for bringing brave enough to bring this up. Because you're
Speaker 1: no less of a man for not having a beer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this world wants to tell you you ain't a
Speaker 1: man unless you could sit around and have a beer
Speaker 1: with your buddies. That's not true. That is a lie.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being a big enough of a man
Speaker 1: to admit that and say, I don't care what the
Speaker 1: world says. I don't care what the world tells me
Speaker 1: that I need to be a man. I'm going to
Speaker 1: email this podcast and say how do I fix it?
Speaker 1: That's a man of integrity? Yeah, I love that, And
Speaker 1: please email us back because I know you're probably married now.
Speaker 1: I would love to hear if you've made changes since
Speaker 1: you wrote this email and how it's going for you.
Speaker 1: So all right, we have back to the drawing board.
Speaker 1: We have what should I do dating as an adult?
Speaker 1: I need some advice? Podcast question mental health question for podcast.
Speaker 1: I think we have time for a couple more questions. Okay,
Speaker 1: dating as an adult? Roger that Hey Granger and guest, Hey,
Speaker 1: hang on a second, I'm I read this one last week. Okay,
Speaker 1: near mind, just kidding, Okay, thank you. Chad answered that
Speaker 1: one last podcast. Okay, one day I'll get it to
Speaker 1: get it, going to get a producer for this to
Speaker 1: help me. Okay, you call it mental health? Mental health
Speaker 1: coming up right now, it says, Hey Granger, Louise from
Speaker 1: Kent and the UK. Here. I've been a fan of
Speaker 1: yours for years and loving the new album. I can't
Speaker 1: wait till you come over the pond and see us.
Speaker 1: How do you say Louis in British? What does it
Speaker 1: look like, Louise Louise? It's Louise, right, Louise Louise, like
Speaker 1: with Z Louise because like you know, if it was
Speaker 1: hispanic could be Louise. Yeah, okay, that's l U my bad.
Speaker 1: See that's why I have heard she helps me. Louise says,
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you could give me any tips
Speaker 1: on mental health in the current climate. We had two
Speaker 1: national lockdowns in the UK and we had been put
Speaker 1: on Tier four, which is the highest level of regional restrictions,
Speaker 1: meaning we had to spend Christmas and New Year's alone
Speaker 1: and we couldn't see any friends or families for that
Speaker 1: whole period. It's been a long time and I still
Speaker 1: haven't recovered currently feeling like everything is on top of
Speaker 1: us and feeling very overwhelmed. At the same time, I
Speaker 1: feel very guilty for even feeling like this because I
Speaker 1: have an amazing husband who I live with, and I
Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of people completely alone
Speaker 1: and have dealt with many worse things in their life,
Speaker 1: and how this suffering can't compare to those people and
Speaker 1: what you guys have gone through. I'm in a constant
Speaker 1: awe of your attitude to life and how you and
Speaker 1: Amber face your demons and any obstacles in life with
Speaker 1: such determination and strength. Please let me know how we
Speaker 1: could feed off of this and make the best of
Speaker 1: our current situation. Hugs to all of you and your family.
Speaker 1: Thank you. When that December. Oh gosh, so they're probably
Speaker 1: not in lockdown anymore, right, Yeah, but we can still
Speaker 1: speak to it. Yeah, let's speak to this for Louise,
Speaker 1: Let's speak to she says at the end. How can
Speaker 1: we feed off of this? She says, you guys have
Speaker 1: learned how to face your demons and obstacles with the
Speaker 1: termination and strength. How could we feed off this and
Speaker 1: to make the best of the current situation. We're threatening
Speaker 1: the needle threading all these emails and we're going to
Speaker 1: go back to stay present. Stay present. And I think
Speaker 1: I think I'm just validating your feelings here. I think
Speaker 1: I think it's totally normal. You're human. Any this whole
Speaker 1: pandemic thing really took a toll on people's mental health,
Speaker 1: and don't feel bad about that. That's natural. And we
Speaker 1: could said, as Texans, we didn't experience what you did
Speaker 1: in the UK, so you had it a lot worse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that would make any any human kind of lose
Speaker 1: it a little bit. But one word that came to
Speaker 1: my mind when you were reading that is how to
Speaker 1: flip That is just gratefulness if you're living your life
Speaker 1: every day in gratitude of something, even the smallest thing.
Speaker 1: I mean that just waking up in the morning, you know,
Speaker 1: or having your husband there. And you already did say
Speaker 1: a sad So here's what we could do. And this
Speaker 1: is perfect that you said that, because this is how
Speaker 1: you said. At the same time, I feel very guilty
Speaker 1: for feeling like this because I have an amazing husband
Speaker 1: who I live with, and I know that there are
Speaker 1: a lot of people completely alone. So flip your guilt
Speaker 1: into gratitude. Yeah, yeah, And I've never thought about that.
Speaker 1: I've never thought of that term until you started saying
Speaker 1: that you should have gratitude. But she feels guilt, so
Speaker 1: you could change your guilt for gratitude. So watch this.
Speaker 1: So watch this. Let me read this paragraph and change
Speaker 1: the one word. Currently, feeling like everyone is getting on
Speaker 1: top of this, and I'm feeling very overwhelmed and it
Speaker 1: seems like there's no end in sight to all of
Speaker 1: this madness. At the same time, I feel very grateful
Speaker 1: that I have an amazing husband who I live with,
Speaker 1: and I know there are a lot of people completely
Speaker 1: alone and have dealt with worse things. It changes the
Speaker 1: whole feeling or the entire email. By changing guilt to
Speaker 1: gratitude gratefulness instead of guilt, it takes the same amount.
Speaker 1: It takes a lot more energy probably to enact guilt.
Speaker 1: So stop saying you feel guilty for being having an
Speaker 1: amazing husband, Stop saying that, say you feel grateful, and
Speaker 1: that just to change in that word is going to
Speaker 1: change your attitude in your mind. And then you answer
Speaker 1: your entire question and go, how do I get through
Speaker 1: this with my amazing husband next to me, living one
Speaker 1: day at a time, Yeah, and loving him, knowing that
Speaker 1: there's people like Ethan that don't have anybody. And it
Speaker 1: sounds cheesy, but start writing down three things that you're
Speaker 1: grateful for every day you're like, oh my gosh, you're
Speaker 1: probably not living in that lockdown anymore. But if it
Speaker 1: ever goes back to that or something, wake up and say, okay,
Speaker 1: I can't change this, and to be grateful for what
Speaker 1: I have through it, Write down three things that you're
Speaker 1: grateful for tomorrow, write down three more and go back
Speaker 1: and read them. And it really is a renewing of
Speaker 1: your mind. And sometimes it is a choice. A lot
Speaker 1: of times it's a choice. You know that you have
Speaker 1: to just say I'm not going to feel this way.
Speaker 1: I'm going to focus on the good be in the
Speaker 1: present moment, and that will will begin to flip kind
Speaker 1: of your attitude about that situation. So here's the thing, Louise.
Speaker 1: Go to your mirror in your bathroom and get a
Speaker 1: dry erase marker, and I want you to write, gratefulness
Speaker 1: is better than guilt and make the you know, the
Speaker 1: alligator sign greater than symbol. Yeah, that's what it's called.
Speaker 1: Greater than symbol. Gratefulness greater than symbol guilt. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: just live by that right now, Okay, And then go
Speaker 1: in there and drop everything, drop your cell phone, drop
Speaker 1: your computer, put everything down, and go grab your husband
Speaker 1: around the neck and just squeeze him and say I
Speaker 1: am so grateful for you. Yeah. There you go, Louise.
Speaker 1: We have time, Yeah, we got let's do Let's talk
Speaker 1: out one more okay, and then we'll give everybody a break.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening, everybody. I know we got some
Speaker 1: over the road truckers listening. Love you guys, Love y'all
Speaker 1: for listening. Man. So many people listening on their commutes,
Speaker 1: and so many people listening while they're working from home
Speaker 1: or or a lot of people on the tractor listening
Speaker 1: to this podcast. Just I feel guilty that so many
Speaker 1: people are listening to this podcast. I feel guilty because
Speaker 1: there's other better podcasts out there, and I feel guilty
Speaker 1: that you're listening to this one. Just kidding. I feel
Speaker 1: grateful that you're listening to this podcast. I feel so grateful. Okay,
Speaker 1: what should I do? Okay? I need some advice? Podcast
Speaker 1: question question for podcast podcast question. That's how the last three.
Speaker 1: That's how the last three go. Now if when Chad's
Speaker 1: with me or Bernie, both of those guys will like
Speaker 1: they like to pick the boring titles, just to make
Speaker 1: sure people don't just try to create interesting titles get
Speaker 1: clicked on. I'm just to say number four. I don't
Speaker 1: even remember what that one was. You got it? Okay?
Speaker 1: Number four says, how do you suggest finding someone to
Speaker 1: marry that is a Christian and a culture that tells
Speaker 1: us just to hook up and not care who it is.
Speaker 1: I live in a small town with not many Christian
Speaker 1: guys my age at my church. I'm twenty five years old.
Speaker 1: I feel discouraged and I've had a few failed relationships.
Speaker 1: I know it was because they were not believers. I
Speaker 1: know God doesn't promise us love or marriage, just like Ethan,
Speaker 1: but I have always longed to find it. Maybe He's
Speaker 1: called me to be single too. Maybe I have a flaw.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your input on this. I love your family.
Speaker 1: It just does not have a name, so I'm not
Speaker 1: going to read it. I'm not going to read the
Speaker 1: name of the email. Thank you. That's a legit question,
Speaker 1: and it's similar to Ethan. That's why threw his names
Speaker 1: in here. We have threaded this entire podcast with questions,
Speaker 1: not intentionally to kind of all relate to each other.
Speaker 1: Before we get into it, though, I want to knock
Speaker 1: out one thing. I was going to say the same thing.
Speaker 1: Probably you're talking about flaws. Yeah, okay, what did we
Speaker 1: all have flaws? Yeah, that's where I was going. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you said you said maybe I have maybe a flaw. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I want to say another thing. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're called to singleness. This is a sheet by the way.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're called to singleness. You're twenty five.
Speaker 1: You're twenty five, it's too early to call that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get back to me when you're sixty and single, and
Speaker 1: we'll call you that. You're called the singleness. But now
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that that's the case. You're
Speaker 1: twenty five, you're ten years older than Ethan, but it's
Speaker 1: the same situation. Yeah, I want to go to where
Speaker 1: you said, in a culture that tells us just to
Speaker 1: hook up and not care. You know, as a Christian,
Speaker 1: we are not meant to follow the culture. We are
Speaker 1: meant to not be of this world. We are called
Speaker 1: to die to ourselves every day. And so you already
Speaker 1: know that in your heart. So that should that shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't even listen to that to what the world
Speaker 1: is telling you to do, because you already know who
Speaker 1: to look to. You look to your father to tell
Speaker 1: you what to do, your heavenly Father. I know it
Speaker 1: can be hard if you live in a small town
Speaker 1: and there's not many Christian guys your age. I think
Speaker 1: just continuing to be patient in the waiting and and praying,
Speaker 1: obviously still praying for for somebody. You know, we're asked,
Speaker 1: we're called to pray and just be patient in that
Speaker 1: waiting that he's maybe he's preparing you for that man
Speaker 1: coming to maybe maybe that man's not ready yet. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's he's he's growing you in some way. Just be
Speaker 1: patient in that waiting and don't give up. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: sort of feeling discourage. I'm going to encourage you feel
Speaker 1: encouraged that you're still twenty five and you haven't gotten
Speaker 1: into a bad relationship that's going to lead to a divorce. Right,
Speaker 1: there's something to be grateful for in that, or something
Speaker 1: to be encouraged thinking, I still have a clean slate.
Speaker 1: I'm twenty five, which is still very young. You're still
Speaker 1: very young, and you have a clean slate. Like how
Speaker 1: many people get to thirty and they go, man, I've
Speaker 1: been married eight years and I'm not happy or she's
Speaker 1: not happy. This is not working. And you don't have
Speaker 1: any of those burdens right now. So you have a
Speaker 1: clean slate and you know what you're looking for. So
Speaker 1: you have a lot going for you. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what you want, you know what you're looking for. You
Speaker 1: It kind of sounds like that's a deal breaker for you.
Speaker 1: Just trust Yeah, trust you say you said that you're
Speaker 1: a Christian. You're looking for another Christian. Just trust in God.
Speaker 1: You don't think he's big enough to get a guy
Speaker 1: into your small town. You don't think God is big
Speaker 1: enough to get you a guy in your town, or
Speaker 1: your God is too small, or God will get you
Speaker 1: out of your town, or God will get you into
Speaker 1: a new town, and be open to that. Pray for
Speaker 1: any opportunities that may come your way and be obedient
Speaker 1: to those. If God is calling you somewhere to travel
Speaker 1: or to speak to somebody out of your comfort zone,
Speaker 1: be open to that. To go to a Granger Smith concerts, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have so many people go to my concerts by
Speaker 1: themselves and they have met people and become friends. So
Speaker 1: and we've seen this, but like in Iowa, remember there's
Speaker 1: a big get together in Iowa where there was probably
Speaker 1: like eight or nine people from ye Nation that flew
Speaker 1: in from all over the country and all met in Iowa.
Speaker 1: And that's also happened in Texas, happened in Dallas one time.
Speaker 1: So people will fly in and meet each other. And
Speaker 1: it's an amazing thing to think that these people came
Speaker 1: started coming to concerts, a lot of them by themselves,
Speaker 1: and then went to the front row and noticed that
Speaker 1: the person next to him was singing this their favorite
Speaker 1: song and had it on the shirt that they were
Speaker 1: wearing and they're like, hey, did we just become best
Speaker 1: friends and it ended up getting married. But then we've
Speaker 1: had so many people say they got engaged, they met
Speaker 1: at my show, they got engaged at my show, and
Speaker 1: then they come with holding a baby. Yeah it's really cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a really good family. Yeah yeah, hang in there.
Speaker 1: A lot of these emails were similar. I hope if
Speaker 1: your email didn't get answered this time, go ahead and
Speaker 1: send one at Granger Smith at podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: But don't send me another one of the same ones. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: because that's not going to help your cause. But also,
Speaker 1: I just hope that some of these emails could have
Speaker 1: related to you also, and I hope you could apply
Speaker 1: some of these and change up some of the words
Speaker 1: and change some of the names and the timeframes, and
Speaker 1: it could also apply to your life. Thank you, Amber
