    What's The REAL War In Iran?

    In this episode of the 9941 Podcast, the team tackles the rapidly unfolding conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, discussing the military events, political implications, and spiritual realities surrounding the situation. Joined by special guests Travis and Ed—who has deep ties to Iran—the conversation explores the long history of Iran’s regime, the global impact of its support for terrorism, and why recent events could signal a turning point in the Middle East.  But this episode goes beyond headlines. Through a biblical lens, the discussion examines how believers should respond to war, geopolitical tensions, and global instability. The group also highlights an astonishing development many Western Christians may not know about: the underground church in Iran is one of the fastest-growing Christian movements in the world, with millions exploring the gospel despite persecution.  What role should the Western church play? How can believers pray for the Iranian people? And could these events open the door for greater gospel influence in a region long closed to Christianity? This episode seeks to equip believers to think biblically about global conflict, pray wisely for Iran, and remember that even in the middle of war, God is still advancing His kingdom.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.

  2. Does The Bible Talk About “Little Green Men?”

    Does The Bible Talk About “Little Green Men?”

    In Episode 8 of the 9941 Podcast, Granger and the guys tackle a question that’s been buzzing across headlines and social media: Are aliens real—and does the Bible say anything about “little green men”? Sparked by recent comments from political leaders and the renewed conversation around UFOs and extraterrestrial life, this episode dives deep into a biblical worldview on aliens, the paranormal, and spiritual warfare. What does Scripture actually say about intelligent life beyond Earth? Could sightings and unexplained phenomena be something else entirely? The conversation moves through key passages like Genesis 1, Ezekiel 1, Ephesians 6, Colossians 1, and John 1 to explore angels, demons, and the sovereignty of God over all creation. Rather than speculating wildly, the guys anchor the discussion in a “big God theology”—affirming that Christ holds authority over heaven and earth and that humanity holds a unique place in God’s redemptive plan. If you’ve ever wondered how Christians should think about UFOs, aliens, Bigfoot, ghosts, or government disclosures, this episode brings clarity without fear. More importantly, it refocuses the conversation on what truly matters: the gospel, the authority of Scripture, and the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or firmly convinced one way or another, Episode 8 challenges you to filter cultural headlines through biblical truth.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.

  3. Islam in our Public Schools! How Should Christians Respond?

    Islam in our Public Schools! How Should Christians Respond?

    In this episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger Smith, Tyler, Parker and AntMan tackle a headline out of Wylie, Texas that sparked strong reactions across the Christian community.  When an Islamic group was allowed to set up a table in a public high school cafeteria, questions about faith, fear, public education and the role of Christianity in America quickly followed. Rather than reacting with outrage, the guys slow the conversation down and ask a deeper question: How should Christians respond? Through a biblical lens, they explore whether religion belongs in public schools at all, how the Ten Commandments debate compares, and why fear often drives our first response. They also unpack key theological differences between Christianity and Islam, including the identity of Jesus, the cross, and salvation. Most importantly, this episode centers on the gospel. What does it mean to remember that Christ forgave us first? How should that shape the way we view Muslims, atheists, Mormons, or anyone who believes differently? The conversation moves from cultural tension to personal responsibility, emphasizing family discipleship, equipping children at home, and living out faith without hypocrisy. If you’ve wrestled with questions about religious freedom, public schools, or how Christians should engage a changing culture, this episode offers thoughtful, Scripture-centered discussion rooted in truth and love.

    Can Christians Cuss?

    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.

    How Should Christians Feel About ICE?

    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. *************** 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.

    On Line Church IS NOT Church!

    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.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.

  7. The Dangers of AI Soulmates

    JAN 26

    The Dangers of AI Soulmates

    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.   *************** 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 Should Christians Feel About Nicotine?

    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.    Listen, watch, and learn more:  Website: https://9941thepodcast.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@9941ThePodcast  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9941thepodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/9941thepodcast     If this podcast has been helpful to you, consider subscribing and leaving a short review.
