    When God Shows Up in Grief with Granger & Amber Smith

    What happens when tragedy strips everything away and leaves something far greater behind? In this powerful episode, Jinger and Jeremy sit down with country music star-turned-pastor Granger Smith and his wife, author Amber Smith, for one of the most moving conversations about grief, marriage, and genuine faith you'll hear this year. Granger opens up about walking away from a wildly successful music career, including his viral alter ego Earl Dibbles Jr. and how the devastating loss of their 3-year-old son, River, in 2019 became the catalyst for real, saving faith. Amber shares what it was like to rebuild their marriage in the wake of unimaginable grief, the pact they made to stay together, and her journey to writing her deeply hopeful book The Girl on the Bathroom Floor. Together, they discuss the River Kelly Fund, water safety, finding purpose through pain, and what they'd say to anyone sitting on a bathroom floor with no hope left. In this episode: - Granger's decade-long grind in Nashville & the Earl Dibbles Jr. viral moment - How Amber went from acting in his music video to becoming his wife - The tragic loss of their son River and how it transformed their faith - How they kept their marriage intact through catastrophic grief - Amber's book The Girl on the Bathroom Floor and why it has a hopeful ending - The River Kelly Fund and giving back globally in River's honor - Granger's upcoming book on cultural Christianity - What true saving faith looks like vs. cultural Christianity Perfect for fans of: Christian podcasts, faith and grief, marriage and relationships, country music, Granger Smith, redemption stories, parenting, loss, and hope.

    The Dangerous Theology Behind These Scandals

    In this episode, Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo address the heartbreaking headlines surrounding Jinger’s brother and the deeper question many are asking: Why does this keep happening? This is a difficult but necessary conversation. We unpack the influence of Bill Gothard and the teachings of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), exploring how harmful theology, isolation, and fear-based purity culture can create environments where secrecy and abuse take root. While every individual is responsible for their own actions, we take a closer look at the belief systems that shape behavior and why ideas about God, sin, sexuality, and authority truly matter. In this episode, we discuss: - The real impact of IBLP and Bill Gothard’s teachings - How purity culture and silence around sex can lead to shame and secrecy - Why isolation doesn’t fix sin and can actually make things worse - The difference between external rules vs. true heart transformation - What the Bible actually says about sin, justice, and healing - How to find hope, healing, and truth in Jesus Christ This conversation is rooted in truth, accountability, and ultimately hope.If you’ve been hurt by toxic religion, spiritual abuse, or confusing teachings, this episode is for you.
