  2. This Changes Everything!

    This Changes Everything!

    This week on the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, and Parker unpack a powerful listener email that perfectly captures the heart behind the podcast: reaching “the one.” After hearing a message about cultural Christianity and realizing his faith was only surface deep, one listener shares how God radically changed his life through repentance, prayer, and the truth of the Gospel. The guys dive deep into what real salvation looks like, the struggle between flesh and spirit, why Christians still battle sin after being saved, and how repentance is more than just feeling guilty. Through honest conversation and Scripture, they discuss sanctification, temptation, spiritual warfare, addiction, shame, suffering, and the daily fight to follow Jesus in a fallen world. This episode is an encouraging reminder that Christianity is not about trying harder or becoming perfect overnight. It’s about surrendering fully to Christ, trusting in His finished work, and walking daily in repentance and faith. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt, failure, temptation, or wondered if true transformation is possible, this conversation will hit home. Humans spending 50 minutes admitting they can’t save themselves. Honestly one of the more productive uses of microphones on the internet lately.Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faith See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    How Do I Know I'm Called To Ministry?

    In this episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker and AntMan dive into one of the most common and misunderstood questions in the Christian life: How do I know if I’m called to ministry? What starts as a conversation about calling quickly turns into a powerful discussion on faith, obedience, and what it actually means to desire God. Through real-life stories, biblical teaching, and honest reflection, the guys unpack the difference between duty and genuine love for the Lord. You’ll hear: A raw story of spiritual growth and choosing church over comfort Why obedience to God flows from love, not obligation What to do if you don’t feel a desire for God Practical steps to grow your faith and rekindle spiritual hunger Biblical qualifications for ministry from 1 Timothy 3 The truth about “calling” vs. simply living as a faithful Christian This episode challenges the modern idea of ministry and reminds us that every believer is called to live out their faith daily. Whether you’re questioning your purpose, struggling with spiritual apathy, or considering leadership in the church, this conversation brings clarity straight from Scripture. If you’ve ever wondered what God wants from your life—or why you don’t feel it yet—this episode is for you.Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faith See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  4. What Should We Do When God Tests Us?

    27 APR

    What Should We Do When God Tests Us?

    When life falls apart, what do you actually do? In this week's episode, Granger, Tyler, and Parker and The AntMan tackle one of the most common questions Granger gets asked on the road: "How do you stay strong in the storms of life?"The guys break down why the answer is more practical — and more biblical — than most people expect. Just like a real storm, the worst thing you can do is try to fix everything in the middle of it. Instead, they discuss the power of seeking shelter in Christ, leaning on the ordinary means of grace (Scripture, prayer, and local church community), and why true strength is found in weakness, not willpower.The conversation goes deep into some of the Bible's most raw and honest moments — Job's response to devastating loss, the Psalms' cries of "How long, O Lord?", Paul's thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12, and Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis. Along the way, they explore the difference between shaking your fist at God (which Scripture calls sin) and honestly crying out to Him in grief and fellowship.They also share a heartbreaking real-life story of a Williamson County deputy who lost his pregnant wife — and connect it to Rachel's death in Genesis — as a powerful reminder that God is never caught off guard by our suffering. Topics covered in this episode:*  What to actually do when you're in the middle of a life storm.*  The ordinary means of grace: Bible, prayer, and community Is it a sin to be angry with God? *  Paul's thorn in the flesh and Jacob's limp — what special revelation costs.*  How the gospel reframes where our strength really comes from.Whether you're walking through grief, loss, or an impossible season, this episode will challenge and encourage you to hunker down in Christ — not in your own effort.The Gospel: Sinful people can be made right with a holy God through Jesus Christ. Christ lived a sinless life, died bearing God's wrath for sinners, and rose bodily from the dead. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. New episodes every Monday.

    You Asked For This!

    In this week’s episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan dive into some of the most common and challenging questions people ask about faith, God, and suffering. Fresh off a speaking event, Granger shares real questions from a live Q&A session, including: Why does God seem harsh in the Bible? and How can someone move past anger toward God after deep loss? The conversation explores the difference between God’s discipline and judgment, the role of suffering in a believer’s life, and why misunderstanding God’s nature often leads to frustration and doubt. The guys also unpack the importance of biblical context (not just cherry-picking verses), the necessity of accountability within a local church, and how a deeper understanding of God’s character can bring peace even in life’s hardest moments. Personal stories, including grief, loss, and spiritual growth, make this episode both honest and deeply impactful. If you’ve ever wrestled with tough questions about faith, pain, or purpose, this episode offers clarity, truth, and encouragement grounded in Scripture.

  6. What Happened in Iran is in the Bible! (revised)

    What Happened in Iran is in the Bible! (revised)

    In this powerful episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan dive into a gripping real-world story that perfectly reflects the heart behind the podcast’s mission: leaving the 99 to find the one.  The conversation centers around a dramatic rescue mission involving a downed U.S. Air Force colonel deep in enemy territory. Facing overwhelming odds, injury, and isolation, the pilot relied on his training—and more importantly, the unwavering belief that he would not be left behind. That belief ultimately drove his survival. From there, the episode transitions into a deeper biblical discussion, connecting this real-life rescue to the words of Jesus in Luke 15 and the promise found throughout Scripture: God does not abandon His people. The crew explores themes of: Faith in the middle of fear and uncertainty Spiritual “training” through Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17) The reality of persecution in the Christian life The hope believers have in God’s promise to rescue and redeem   This episode challenges the idea of comfort-driven faith and instead points to a deeper, more resilient trust in God—even when life gets harder, not easier. If you’ve ever wondered how to hold onto faith in difficult seasons, this conversation will hit home.

    I'd Rather Quit Than Do This!

    This week on the 9941 Podcast, the crew is joined by longtime friend Marshall for a powerful, post-Easter conversation that digs deeper than the typical “empty tomb” message. What happens when we slow down and truly consider both Good Friday and Easter Sunday—not just the victory of the resurrection, but the weight of the cross? From cultural differences in how Easter is celebrated around the world to the often-overlooked significance of Christ’s suffering, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what they’ve always heard—and maybe missed—about the gospel. The conversation also turns practical: How do you actually find a solid, Bible-teaching church? What should you look for in a church’s statement of faith? And what does it really mean to be part of a local church body?   Plus, a clear and direct breakdown of what the gospel truly is—and why leaving out key parts of it changes everything. If you walked out of church this Easter feeling encouraged but still have questions…this episode is for you.

    The Greatest Human Need!

    In this powerful episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and special guest Amber dive into one of life’s most formative seasons—middle school—and the lasting impact of fatherhood, identity, and faith.  The conversation explores how early experiences shape confidence, character, and belief systems, especially through the influence (or absence) of a father. Amber shares a deeply personal story about growing up without feeling fully seen or loved by her dad, while the group reflects on how God’s design for fatherhood points us back to our ultimate Father in Heaven. This episode tackles real-life struggles—parenting teenagers, balancing discipline and empathy, and navigating unmet desires—through a biblical lens. Anchored in Scripture like Matthew 7 and Ephesians 6, the discussion challenges listeners to rethink what we want versus what we truly need, emphasizing contentment, trust in God, and spiritual growth over temporary fulfillment. Whether you’re a parent, a young adult, or someone wrestling with faith, this episode offers encouragement, conviction, and clarity. It’s a reminder that even through pain, God is working for a greater purpose—drawing us closer to Him.Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faith See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
