  1. What Should We Do When God Tests Us?

    2 DAYS AGO

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. I'd Rather Quit Than Do This!

    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.

  7. Every Christian Needs To Hear This!

    Every Christian Needs To Hear This!

    What does it really mean to not be conformed to the world? In this episode of the 99 For One Podcast, Granger Smith and the crew dive deep into Romans 12:2 and explore the biblical call to be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  The conversation moves beyond surface-level Christianity and into the practical realities of following Jesus in a culture constantly shaping our thoughts, habits, and desires. From entertainment choices and social influences to the idols we don’t even realize we’ve created, the guys discuss how everything around us is forming us into something—and why believers must intentionally pursue transformation through Christ. They also unpack powerful themes like sanctification, humility, and God’s sovereignty, wrestling with the tension between human responsibility and God’s grace. Along the way, the discussion turns personal as they share real examples of cutting off things that pull them toward worldly conformity and replacing them with habits that lead to spiritual growth. If you’ve ever wondered how to live faithfully in a culture pulling you in the opposite direction, this episode offers a candid and biblical perspective on daily discipleship, dying to self, and pursuing Christ above everything else. Listen in and consider the challenge: What in your life is shaping you—and is it drawing you closer to Christ or conforming you to the world?

    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.
