# 265: GRANGER SMITH takes a detour from life as a decorated musician to pursue life in ministry

Farewell to country music, guilt, and pain. Granger Smith now has newfound purpose. After 24 years touring as an award-winning, platinum-selling, country music singer-songwriter, Smith chose to leave the music business to pursue a future in ministry. Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with the now best-selling author, five years after the tragic loss of his son, River, to discuss finding purpose in the pain. Granger also talks about his children's book on grief called “Up Toward the Light” and the significance of his youngest son Maverick's name. Through his story, Granger inspires hope and shows that there is light on the other side of darkness.
