The 9941 Podcast is a weekly faith conversation hosted by Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and Anthony Lay, rooted in the words of Jesus from Luke 15:4 - “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?”

That is the mission of this podcast: to share the Gospel and pursue the one who feels lost or far from God. Through honest conversation, Scripture, and real-life stories, The 9941 Podcast points hearts back to Christ and the joy found in redemption. New episodes release every Monday morning at 6:00 a.m.

Granger Smith Podcast

In Episode 6 of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan tackle a bold and often uncomfortable question: Can Christians cuss? After a CNN article claimed that swearing may signal intelligence, creativity, and honesty, the guys break down those cultural arguments and compare them directly to Scripture.
 
From Proverbs and James to Ephesians and Colossians, this episode explores what the Bible says about the tongue, obscene talk, and the condition of the heart. Is profanity just a harmless habit—or does it reveal something deeper? Why do we excuse certain words in adults but cringe when children say them? And what does it mean when the name of Jesus is casually used as an expression of anger?
 
This conversation moves beyond behavior modification and into transformation. The hosts discuss sanctification, heart posture, media influence, and how what we consume shapes what we speak. If you’ve ever struggled with your language—or wondered whether it even matters—this episode offers a thoughtful, Scripture-centered perspective.

Can Christians Cuss?

In this episode of the 99 for One Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan take on one of the most challenging and controversial topics facing Christians today: immigration, ICE, and the role of government—through a biblical lens. Rather than approaching the issue through politics or cultural pressure, the conversation begins where Scripture begins—with the truth that every human being is created in the image of God.
 
Drawing from Genesis 1, Romans 13, Leviticus 19, and 2 Corinthians 5, the group explores how Christians are called to walk a narrow path—holding compassion and justice together without falling into the extremes of cruelty or lawlessness. They discuss the distinct responsibilities of the church and the state, why laws and borders exist, how enforcement should be carried out with wisdom and restraint, and why the gospel must remain central above political tribalism.
 
This episode challenges believers to reject fear, dehumanization, and partisanship, and instead live as ambassadors of reconciliation, committed to truth, love, and faithful obedience to Christ. No matter where you land politically, this is a thoughtful, Scripture-centered conversation that brings the focus back to the gospel and the call to seek the narrow way.

How Should Christians Feel About ICE?

In this week’s episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan take on a bold and necessary conversation: Is online church actually church? Rooted in Scripture and real-life pastoral experience, the discussion challenges modern assumptions about faith practiced in isolation and examines what the Bible truly defines as the church.
 
Drawing from key passages in Acts, Hebrews, Matthew, and Ephesians, the guys explain why physical gathering, church membership, pastoral oversight, and meaningful Christian community are not optional extras—but essential elements of biblical Christianity. While acknowledging the usefulness of online sermons and digital ministry as tools, they clearly distinguish between supplemental resources and the dangers of replacing the local church with online-only faith.
 
The episode dives into church discipline, accountability, assurance of salvation, spiritual growth, and the long-term impact of isolation on believers and families. With conviction, humility, and personal reflection, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan call listeners to pursue healthy local churches where believers are known, loved, challenged, and shepherded.
 
If you’ve ever questioned whether watching church online is enough—or struggled to understand the importance of belonging to a local body—this episode offers biblical clarity, pastoral urgency, and a compelling call to live out faith the way Scripture intends: together.

On Line Church IS NOT Church!

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker and AntMan tackle a rapidly growing cultural trend: AI girlfriends, boyfriends, and digital soulmates. What starts as a discussion about emerging AI companion technology quickly becomes a deep, biblical examination of love, loneliness, identity, and God’s design for human relationships.
 
The guys explore how artificial intelligence is being marketed as emotional companionship — even romantic partnership — and why that trend poses serious spiritual, emotional, and societal dangers. They reference real-world examples like hologram companions and AI chatbot “relationships,” including platforms that introduced erotic roleplay features and the emotional fallout when those features were removed.
 
Using Scripture as their foundation, the conversation moves into what the Bible teaches about love, human connection, and God’s design for marriage. Passages from 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 14, and Romans 1 are used to show how redefining love and pursuing artificial substitutes for real relationships leads people away from truth and toward spiritual harm.
 
The hosts also address deeper heart issues behind the appeal of AI relationships — loneliness, sexual temptation, fear of rejection, and the desire for unconditional affirmation. They emphasize that while AI may seem safe and customizable, it ultimately replaces real sanctifying relationships and distracts people from Christ, the Church, and the gospel.
 
The episode closes with a clear gospel message, reminding listeners that true love, fulfillment, and rest are found in Jesus alone — not in manufactured affection or digital fantasy. The guys issue a firm warning against pursuing romantic or emotional relationships with AI and encourage believers to trust God with their singleness, relationships, and longing for connection.

The Dangers of AI Soulmates

Episode 2 of the 9941 Podcast tackles a question many Christians quietly wrestle with: How should believers think about nicotine? In an honest, Scripture-centered conversation, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and AntMan explore the difference between Christian freedom and spiritual slavery—asking whether substances like nicotine, caffeine, or alcohol have dominion over our lives or are simply neutral tools.
 
Drawing from passages like Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5, and Romans 8, the group discusses addiction, conscience, legalism, cheap grace, and the responsibility believers have not to place stumbling blocks in front of others.
 
The episode also features a powerful testimony of a man in Japan who came to faith through daily Scripture reading and discipleship, illustrating the heart of the 9941 mission: reaching the one and equipping the ninety-nine. The conversation closes with a clear presentation of the gospel and a reminder that true freedom is found not in self-control alone, but in Christ alone.

 
The 9941 Podcast is a Christian podcast hosted by Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and Anthony Lay. Rooted in Luke 15, the show exists to seek the one who feels lost and to equip the ninety-nine to live out their faith with clarity and conviction through Scripture, honest conversation, and real-life stories.

How Should Christians Feel About Nicotine?

Welcome to the very first episode of the 9941 Podcast—a faith-centered conversation rooted in the words of Jesus and the mission to leave the ninety-nine to find the one.
 
In this debut episode, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and The AntMan introduce the heart behind 9941 and explain why this podcast exists. What began as the conclusion of the Granger Smith Podcast now becomes a focused calling—discipleship over popularity, obedience over comfort, and faith over fear.
 
The group reflects on Granger’s decision to step away from country music, the ripple effect it had on family and business, and how God reshaped desires, priorities, and identity along the way. Tyler shares a powerful testimony of surrender after striving in his own strength, while Parker talks about transition, obedience, and trusting God through uncertainty. Together, they wrestle honestly with questions many believers face:
Is what I’m doing good—or is it pleasing to God?
Am I reaching the crowd, or the one God is calling me to?
 
This episode sets the spiritual foundation for the 9941 Podcast—centered on Luke 15, grounded in Scripture, and focused on authentic conversations about salvation, discipleship, trust, and following Jesus wherever He leads.
 
If you’re searching for a Christian podcast about faith, obedience, purpose, and real-life transformation, this episode is where the journey begins.

Was Leaving Country Music Worth It?

This episode marks the end of a chapter. After more than eight years, Granger and AntMan sit down to look back on the journey of the Granger Smith Podcast, from recording early episodes on a tour bus to conversations that grew deeper through grief, faith, and personal change. They reflect on the wide range of guests, stories, and seasons that shaped the show along the way.
 
 
 
Granger shares honestly about how his life and faith have changed over the years, and how that transformation slowly reshaped the heart of the podcast. What began as stories from the road and music conversations eventually became something more personal, more serious, and more centered on pointing people to Christ. That shift brought clarity, but also an identity question about what the podcast had become.
 
 
 
By the end of the conversation, Granger explains why this episode is the final one under the Granger Smith Podcast name. But it is not an ending without hope. Instead, it is a transition into something new. The episode introduces the next chapter, a new podcast called The 9941 Podcast, built around the same heart, familiar voices, and a clear purpose to reach those who are searching. It’s a reflective, honest sendoff and an invitation to continue the journey. 

That new podcast can be found right here in this feed. Although the name will change, your weekly podcasts will show up in the same place you've been getting the Granger Smith Podcast.

This Is The End. (Not Click Bait)

This week, Granger and AntMan talk honestly about why the holidays feel more stressful than peaceful for so many people today. What used to be a season of rest now feels rushed, chaotic, and noisy, and the guys explore what’s behind that shift. Their conversation leads to a surprising place: the way short-form video and endless scrolling are quietly reshaping our minds, our attention, and even our expectations of what peace should feel like.
 
 
 
Granger shares a moment from traveling overseas that first opened his eyes to how extreme scrolling has become, and the two walk through new research showing how short videos affect focus, anxiety, self-control, and the way our brains now crave constant stimulation. They talk about how algorithms prey on our emotions, why age doesn’t protect anyone from these effects, and how quickly “just relaxing on the couch” can turn into something that rewires the way we experience the world.
 
 
 
But the episode doesn’t stop at warning signs. Granger and AntMan speak openly about their own habits, the changes they’ve made, and the freedom that comes from stepping away from the swipe. They close with a reminder of where real peace comes from, especially in a season that promises it but rarely delivers. It’s a thoughtful conversation about guarding your heart, finding stillness again, and choosing something better than the endless scroll.

Avoid This To Have A Merry Christmas!

In this Friday Q&A, Granger tackles two thoughtful emails that deal with the power of language and the challenges of building a Christ-centered home.
 
 
 
First, he responds to a listener who struggles with Christians using phrases like “been through hell” and questions whether this language honors what Jesus actually endured. Granger unpacks why word choice matters, how our phrases reveal what we believe, and why Christians should be intentional with the way we speak.
 
 
 
The second email comes from a young wife and soon-to-be mom who did not grow up with biblical examples of marriage or parenting. She asks how to rewrite old patterns and understand God’s design for the family. Granger and the team offer practical counsel about discipleship, learning from older believers, embracing self-denial, and starting a new legacy rooted in Christ.

"He Was A Tyrant And Emotionally Toxic!"

This week, Granger sits down with Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, for a heartfelt conversation about faith, family, and the work God is doing through everyday people. Granger shares how Focus on the Family shaped his own upbringing, even playing a voice message from his mom describing how the ministry prayed for their family through some of their hardest years. Jim responds with stories of his own, reflecting on how the ministry seeks to strengthen homes and reach people who feel unseen or overwhelmed.
 
 
 
As the conversation unfolds, the two talk about the importance of investing in young men and why this next generation is at the center of so many cultural battles. They discuss what real masculinity looks like, how the world often distorts it, and why raising strong, humble, Christ-centered men matters so deeply for families and churches.
 
 
 
Granger and Jim also take time to talk about marriage, purpose, and the value of bringing children into a world that feels increasingly unstable. Jim’s perspective is clear and encouraging — God places us exactly where and when He intends, and He equips parents to raise kids with courage and hope, even in difficult times.
 
 
 
It’s an honest and uplifting episode filled with wisdom, stories, and gratitude for the ministry that has touched so many families.
