Feeling Depressed About The New Year
Granger Smith Podcast Episode 220: Welcome back to the podcast where I answer your questions and offer advice on everything. In this episode, we address a mom's concern about adding another baby to the family amidst a seemingly scary world. The listener, Katie, who is a firm believer in Christ, expresses fear and second-guessing due to discussions about the end of times. Granger encourages her to embrace faith over fear and reminds her that having a child during challenging times is an opportunity to raise a baby in good faith. The episode delves into the providence of God and challenges conventional notions about deciding when to have a baby.
In a subsequent question from Lindsay, the focus shifts to dealing with a mother's alcoholism. Lindsay recounts her struggles with her mom's drinking habits, which led to losing two grandparents to cirrhosis. Despite her desire for her son to have a relationship with his grandmother, Lindsay faces challenges as her mother's drinking impacts their interactions. Granger offers insights into navigating complex family dynamics and balancing the desire for familial connections with the need for a safe environment for the child.

Thank you from the bottom of my confused heart, keep pointing us to the only words that bring truth. You have saved my life over and over again since someone sent me your story right after Riv went home. You are such a good and faithful servant. My old lady fan girl goes off the rails for you and Amber yet Jesus reminds me again and again where this faith came from. Just know, I adore the Smiths!!!! Every single one of you all!
We have 6 children ( one was a miscarriage) all are adults now with their own families, we now have 14 grandchildren so far our youngest is 6 months. When I was young our Pastor said something that resonated with me, if you choose not to have a child that child could be the next Susannah Wesley, Billy Graham etc. I prayed for more children but it wasn't God's plan. This world needs godly families to have children.

Thank you for such a wonderful podcast. I really appreciate that you shared the Gospel today. So many people need to hear it today. May God bless you richly as well as your beautiful family.
First time caller long time listener lol. I've battled though alcoholism and it finally got to the point I needed a change due to my actions. I'm a little over a week sober and yeah it's an eye opening thing. About to loose my fam bit I did it to myself and its feels horrible. Only thing I can say is when I've gone though some difficult times you've had a podcast situation where it helped me and enlightened me. I appreciate you my man keep spreading the word and the help you do. We need yah man. Godbless
Happy New Year Granger!!! Love the words, “God is…..” - perfectly sums it all up. What a blessing for John to hear from you. Prayers for him. He is carrying a heavy load but you have pointed him where he can find help!! ❤
Love that the podcast is back! Happy New Year ❤
Just recently got your book!!! Can’t wait to read it!!! My sis is newly married and is thinking the same thing about kids in this world.
Great responses to all these questions, especially the 17 year old who had the car accident. Jesus is the answer.... A relationship with Jesus is a must. God bless you Granger. Thank you for taking the time to do this for your listeners.
Happy Monday to everyone this lovely week! I really love listening to this podcast episode!
Thanks for keeping me company
Peace Be Unto You Brother!🙏🏾
That was beautiful Granger, what you said to John.

Hello from Kazakhstan
Please Granger pray for my daughter. Dear God, please heal Heaven's acoustic shock injury. In Jesus name, Amen
My favorite song is Don't tred on me
I need to hear that God Is. I’m in a trying time of job hunting. I need prayers about my little faith. I say I’m trusting the God will guide me to a good job but I doubt that I have the faith to move mountains.

Yes you will baby! You will find that job because Gods got YOU!!!!!!
A thought came to me about “maybe” asking her father’s permission to pursue her. Because some parents have very different views on age gaps. Lots of Love though! Love the show.
I love you Granger! You are a beautiful man!
Thank you for fixing the title. That "Year's" in the original title was bugging me.
Thanks, Granger. Love your content, the most valuable advice you could give to anyone you gave to John. I pray that he can receive it and anyone else in need of Jesus.

i didnt watch the video but the title threw me off and i wanted to comment to give encouragement
🙏🏻❤️!
I do find it hard to pray for healing when people are on their death bed, just because I know they believe in Christ and heave is a better place then here. But God's will above all

Me as well. I struggle with prayer when being with Jesus would be so amazing for the person. Thy will be done.

if you are a follower of Jesus Christ you should NEVER feel depressed. there are season that you feel that God is far from you but he is near you if you call upon Him James 4:8
it is not the end of time, there us still the millenium yet. It certainly looks like ir is the end of the church age. GOD HAS A witness in every event; every social; political civic, financial 'status'.
Katie: granger has answered all these already lol Don’t worry about so called end of times. It won’t happen during your kids lifetime (if it even happens)
❤❤❤❣️🥰
The Lord was with us last year, and He'll be with us this year and all the years after :) I'm reading more about the love and grace of the Lord. The book The Jesus Response by John Pohl was a beautiful depiction of that love and grace.
