Thank you Granger and Bernie for a fantastic #222!! Bernie don’t ever feel like you need to apologize to us for being real. We are thankful for you, that you would trust us with your inner most thoughts and emotions. You Sir have a way of piercing us right in the heart with your words. There’s a reason why you are Granger’s #1 guest and why we love you so much. Thank you Bernie, thank you, and I will be praying for you friend. ❤😊

I have preached this for years. If everyone was called to minister within the church walls the world would quickly starve and freeze to death. God equipped each of us with a special calling maybe an electrician, nurse, mechanic, or school teacher. Each of us can use that calling to spread the Gospel in our everyday lives. I believe that the term, keep it simple stupid, really applies in our day-to-day lives working beside Jesus. For me, I feel his presence while working on cars all day or playing lunch lady in our daycare. Great podcast guys.

Bro Bernie. Being raw and emotional about Christ is one of the most manly things you can do. Thanks for that.

Let's go!!! Thank you for being real brother and not cutting it. I needed this.

Bernie it is so great that you were vulnerable today. I could hear the passion for Jesus in your voice. Thank you for being raw and real it is important to not suppress your emotions.

Thank you for these. My 16 year old daughter sent me to watch these. She really looks up to you and your family. Thank you. ❤

The way Granger described forgiveness as a choice by the mind that drags the heart along with it. 💯 Perfect explanation

This might be my favorite episode of your podcast ever, and it's not surprising that Bernie is a part of it. With Ethan, I totally get it. I felt the need to move back home when my dad died somewhat suddenly, and I interviewed for and received a job that would make that happen, but I ultimately decided it was best to stay where I had established my home. When I told my mother about this after everything was over, she told me she thought it would have been a big mistake because she likes how my life is where I live. She said it would have been nice to have had me closer in some ways, but she felt it was best for me to live and thrive where I was. Thanks for your answer to Sam that there are many ways to serve, and they are all as important as those who choose to be full-time evangelists/preachers. Also thanks for reminding us that there is no new message to be preached. It's just the applying of what has been delivered to the situations and circumstances we encounter. I really like the way Chad does this in his Take and Read Podcast. There are three questions to ask when exploring scripture - what does the passage say (summarize and define words we may not be familiar with), what does it mean (to the original audience present and the original audience to whom it was written), what is the significance (what are we to take and learn from it all these years later). Thank you for reminding us that forgiveness is a work, meaning it takes effort, and it is rarely ever just a one time thing. When the hurt is deeper, the work takes longer, but it's always worth it for our own peace of mind. If I had the power to change something, it would be this. I want to get people to stop apologizing when we show genuine emotion. We need more of it. Love the idea of seeking quiet and solitude in a world that throws WAY too much information at us in WAY too many ways. For the last one, I was really surprised that Granger didn't say what he so often says when people ask why stuff like this happens. If we're asking why, we're asking the wrong question. The question isn't why, it's what - what would God have me learn through this, what would God have me do through this. Situations like this have a great opportunity to teach us about trusting God, even when the things that are happening make no sense to our human brains at all, especially when they don't. It's not easy, but it's always worth it when we allow God to see us through to the other side. Again, thank you both so much for a great episode!

Master class 30:35. Hands up for the simple life. 🙌 ...same here, Berns. God Is.

I have a picture in my home that says: Make time for quiet moments because God whispers and the World is Loud

Berns has touched me so deeply this morning. ❤

I love how Bernie explained that maybe forgiveness isn’t one and done. Maybe it’s a process and you might need to keep reminding yourself that you need to forgive. I’ve always thought one and done which means I want to say I’m done with it and then feel frustrated when I’m not there yet.

Yes! So many people feel like they are failing at forgiving when those feelings return, but it's a process. It takes time and effort to get there, but it's worth it.

Love Granger! Recently saw Moonrise’ & then started researching Granger & learned about the unspeakable tragedy of the loss of his son😢 We had a similar situation of a near drowning of my granddaughter & didn’t know for almost 2weeks whether or how she would survive. Thank God she did! Many people prayed for her & she graduates from HS in May🙏🏻💗 Most of all I’m so excited for the path Granger is taking now in his ministry….. God bless!

I don't typically comment on these videos, although I appreciate them all since I found them a few months ago, but this one, I must comment on. Real. Raw. Genuine. H.O.T - HONEST OPEN TRANSPARENT I have been taking a break from Facebook - an addiction (defined by a guest speaker at my church as 'give me just one more'). Anyways, as I've taken this break, God is showing me the benefits of living a quiet life - without all the noice and chatter (the approval of man) I am 59 years old and just figuring this out!!!! 😭 Bernie is spot on...linger in the quiet with our Maker...that's what our hearts are longing for

Posting to remember this 'Grace being the front door to the house of gratitude'. ...this is a keeper.

Behind Granger the sign says 22!

Good catch!!

I'm so glad you didn't cut down Burns message. I have been hearing from God to prepare for something, but it has made me want to go straight to the finish line of doing the ministry, and this message of slow down, do what God wants you to do with it, don't forget about your heart posture was so needed right now. It's not about the finish line.

Awe Bernie, that's why we love you because you are so genuine - I know because I have met you in person. We love Granger's friends!!! It is so true though and I think the older we get we realize the "chaoticness" of life can get to be a lot and to keep things in perspective. I think this is especially important to model this for our kids. This podcast made me cry but for a good reason. Love you ang G together. :)

Love the reality and the heart you guys put in. You’ve changed my life since this podcast started.

Such a beautiful moment Bernie ❤️ transparency and vulnerability is a beautiful place to be. Thanks for not cutting it out!

I love how you two rein each other in 😅. That's why I always enjoy it when Bernie in on the podcast.❤

What a profound explanation of forgiveness you gave to anonymous i had never thought of it like that before ❤

I'm praying for Mac to hold on to Gods word through and in his suffering. Griz & Berns' answers are so good here. ...bunny slope start here. Jesus will trump all of it. Lets go❤❤❤

Wow Bernie hit home hard ! I’m right there with you!!

Bernie, simply put, that you for being real! Much respected & appreciated!!

Bless Yall Granger, YEE-YEE.

This is my most favourite Podcast! True honesty and heart felt discussions…

Outstanding episode guys! Thank you for being vulnerable Bernie. Thanks for being a light for others.

May the Lord bless you from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! I really love this episode!

Always great to hear from Bernie!!! Thank you for being so vulnerable and real with us. We love you B and G❤🙏

You became the Patriarch being the eldest, Mama passed in 2012 and I became the Matriarch of our family. The place we all ran to for advice, love and support was gone and it was left to me. I can never fill her shoes just as my brother could never fill my Daddys. I am 70 and I think the biggest responsibility of the eldest is to share memories, stories of life and what was. Hard work, family and responsibility to put God first, then family and all others after that. Jesus said to love one another, he also said " I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the Father except through me."

Wow that was really GREAT! Those analogies about the dentist is crazy good

I think often God shakes us to remove everything that is shaken so that what cannot be shaken may remain

Love you Bernie. This was a really good podcast. I've watched so many of these I really do feel like yall are family and I appreciate you guys doing this. God bless!

This Friday would of been my daughter's 29 birthday and Saturday will be 9 years my dad's death anniversary....

You gave the people what they want, real, raw emotions! God is so good. And he is providing through his testimony. Thank you so much for posting this podcast and EVERY podcast!

Bernie you touched my heart in a place where I'm struggling. I need to retreat, listen for God's guidance because I don't. I haven't in my entire 62years of my life. I fall everyday & can't figure out where I'm to be as a divorcee x 2. Feel like a failure & not sure why or what I'm to do or where I'm to go.

Thank you. Great wisdom- honesty-vulnerability .

Here we go!!! Good mornin

55:47 God gives us free will. Bad things happen because we choose them. God wants you to choose to follow Him but He allows you to do what you want. Follow God and do His will. You will find a relationship with Him and want to do what's right . ❤️🤗🙏🏼

I agree with you about bad things happening because we make bad choices to an extent, but sometimes bad things happen for reasons we don't know, for which we nor anyone else bears any responsibility, or just because this planet is flawed. As Granger frequently says, the question isn't why did this happen, but instead it should be what does God want from me in this situation, what would He have me do, what would He have me learn, how do I best serve Him and others through this.

Hey-- there is SUPERNATURAL HELP in forgiveness also!!! God tells us when we call upon Him- the deep painful hurts, ask Jesus to do “ Heart Surgery “ on you. With His blood pouring over the place He takes the pain from! When I’ve done this-- it is NO MORE! From fighting an ongoing spiderweb of wounds to calling on HIS POWER! The Lamb of Heaven!!! We need the SUPERNATURAL!!! And God created humans wanting unity with us! So tell everyone make that call to HIM!

❤🙏🏻!

At the age of fifteen when your body is developing is so hard.

Without the test,there would be no testimony . But we all can help other's who are going through the same thing. ❤😊 we're all in the same boat, I've prayed for a long time to be more like Jesus, I've found myself feeling like I was hated by all . But now I come to realize that I might be,but then I realized that all his own hated him ,because they didn't know him . But then I learned who am I to think I shouldn't be, when Jesus gave his life for us all ,& our sin he took on by himself that we might be saved.Amen😊 He will never leave us nor forsake us Amen if it's wrong know it's not of God's love. 😊
