Didn't Think We Would Do This Again...

[@angie4552]

Hi y'all. Congratulations on the nomination on your book. I'm sorry it did not win, but I can tell you it's still winning across America. The Lord is using it and you all in a mighty way which is far better than a fan award. I feel the need to say this and I hope you do not take it in a negative way, but just remember Jesus never won an award, He never was even nominated. His message was rejected by his own people and his stage was a cross on Golgotha. You may never win an award from man but your great reward will be in heaven when you hear the words well done good and faithful servant. Granger you get it. You get what most Christians never get. It's not about the applause of men but about obedience to Christ. I pray for you and your family daily. God Bless

[@jennm883]

So perfectly said❤

[@DEAH-01]

I watched with my husband , I told him " That man right there , is survivor, a true witness we can overcome anything with God's Love " a winner gets an award, a real winner makes an imprint on our ❤️, and lives. Proud of you both.

[@Anna-kf8br]

I listen to Arise with Amber every week! She’s helped me grow closer to Jesus each time!

[@jodilynnmodel]

You guys looked great! Amber looked fabulous in blue! Award or not it's about the God moment. Glorifying him in all we do and go through. Being a witness.

[@pennyconnell69]

Granger and Amber. The - like a River book is an award to those of us that bought and read it. It was beautiful we love y’all ❤

[@amywhigham4790]

Glad you guys went to K- Love Awards even though you didn't win! Just being there looked awesome! 😀 So fun that London got a picture with Phil Wickham ! Way to go , girl! 😀😍🤩😎📸

[@KenG....]

You're a winner, Granger. You're a child of God!

[@katiebrooks1212]

[@cindiallain8542]

Hey Granger, I am a K-LOVE fan and I’m also a Granger fan. Nothing has changed for me. I voted for you, but it’s all in Gods timing not ours. Thank you for the video.

[@Andrea-cc2bs]

I'm a K-love and Grainger fan! Keep sharing your story and the gospel! ❤

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

K-Love is the only radio station my hubby and I listen to. It brought us together.

[@dottiekraemer7038]

I think God is leading you back into music but a country gospel flavor - that is your gift with an opportunity to share music and preach to an audience that needs Jesus desperately - don’t ever give up that beautiful music that God placed in your heart

[@tiffanysamuelson9262]

You’re just getting started! God has big plans! Welcome to the K-LOVE family!! Keep your heart open. Christian music might be in your future! Zach Williams brings God to country music expanding His message in this genre. Don’t shut out the possibility of the graph into that branch ❤️❤️

[@thomascaldwell463]

That was great guys! London really enjoyed it. Good experience for everyone. Yee Yee

[@kellydarosa663]

You both and your beautiful family are such a blessing .

[@melissadupont9083]

You won in my eyes!! Love your family so much and such an inspiration!!

[@marissademoss6001]

Love you guys, what a great testimony

[@bgrateful453]

To be able to witness the K-Love Fan nominations & award ceremony through London brought us great joy. Her brown eyes lit up for her Daddy & her love for Jesus. Always love Pauls questions, Amber is wearing blue as it looks like a river.

[@robertdurkin7596]

Congratulations to you and amber for beautiful country music in Nashville!👏👍🎸🎶🇺🇲🤟🦋❤️

[@vanessadaugherty4294]

Granger, you are a winner, your book, music, don’t ever think different❤

[@downlow0075]

You guys looked fabulous. Voted for Like a River and listen every Sunday Am to Arise with Amber while im getting ready for church ❤❤

[@dycusfamily]

I am so happy that it was nominated. . Even though you didn't win it is still an amazing book with a great testimony. The book is a winner to me. Thanks for sharing.

[@farmhouseontherock]

This K-LOVE fan is also a granger and smith family fan. I honestly hadn’t listened to country music for years because I started a new life and didn’t want to be reminded of my x so when I started watching the smiths it was shortly after River and then I started looking up all Your songs and fell in love with your songs. So back to country and Christian music❤.

[@lilthislilthat]

Congrats on the nomination! It's an incredible book. I absolutely loved it. Awe, Amber, I listen to your podcast weekly. It's so encouraging to my walk with Christ! 🤗

[@garyb4929]

Thanks for sharing this venture. ❤ the path, you'll are on. May Christ WORD, stay deep within you'll. Pray 🙏

[@jennifersuarez9204]

Thank you for sharing your behind the scenes. I watch y'all and listen to K-Love. So cool to see my two favorite genre mix for this one moment. Y'all looked great, Amber love the Blue.

[@jamesm611]

You guys are a blessing. Granger your podcast is so good. Listen all the time

[@kendrawilson8131]

You both are winners regardless!! You both looked great!! Granger’s comment, “Y’all check out that Arise with Amber. That girl is good!!” lol Y’all are so cute!!

[@GrandmaKarenHasAFarm]

This brings to mind a different awards show where an actress celebrated the fact that she had an abortion in order to make a movie that she won an award for. So different to know that you mourned the death of your son and celebrate his life. God bless you! Thank you for your example!

[@Amber-fn5zx]

Im a K-Love fan and I love that your family is a Christian God Loving Family on KZbin ❤

[@juliecohen9041]

happy tuesday to everyone hope everyone had a great day have a great rest of the week and if there is no video for the rest of this week have a great weekend and see everyone next time

[@novamom1962]

I never miss Ambers Arise ❤❤❤

[@catH727]

The book was wonderful

[@jenniferholguin7001]

Love y’all ❤️

[@danbarrett949]

This is so cool! Congrats!! I am writing a children's book on finding your purpose & I want to turn the story of making the book, part of my journey, and turn it into a movie. Your song Forever Forward has changed my life & inspired some parts of the book & to do the movie on it. I lost 2 sisters in 2023, lost 2 jobs, small biz, and my family is fractured due to pandemic/ lock downs. I saw your movie Moon Rise as I was writing the book and my vision for this idea become more clear. I would love to see if I could use your song Forever Forward when I make the movie. Thank you.

[@debragilmore1314]

Praying that the publicity for the book from being nominated will lead someone to read it and find the comfort they need.❤

[@laurawhite8519]

It's funny you should mention the K-Love fans are not Granger fans. I admittedly don't know any of your music, but I am a fan because of the podcast! I heard about you through Arms Family Homestead and have stuck around for a few years now because of your faith and family values.

[@wesleysmith6018]

Do some collaborations with unshamed and some christain,homestead,country,family "faithbased" podcasters ladies and gents!! Keep them coming!

[@simonzehr5273]

Your book is so touching! I would say I would have voted it #1

[@Kimmy33k]

❤❤❤

[@stephenhutter1386]

Congratulations dude keep up the great work on making your book

[@carlavision6143]

Granger, sorry your book didn't when you the award! It's #1 in my book. Really enjoyed your video. Love y'all and God Bless!❤️❤️

[@terrybialowas2641]

I don't always listen to K-Love but I did vote and sorry the book didn't win the award but it is winner for having an impact on everyone who reads it. I watch all the Smiths stuff, your Monday podcast and absolutely have to start my Sunday's with Arise. Arise is my getting ready for church thing.

[@tracyfulayter961]

I enjoyed watching this video 😊

[@watchingvideos4309]

Definitely voted for my first K Love, didn’t watch, but wanted to extend a vote you the book that brought me to know Jesus Christ.

[@Handleon123]

Your word is in heaven.🎉

[@jackibrown5215]

I get that you want to honor God in everything you do, please don’t feel that you can never be recognized for a book or song. You are honoring God with your lives.

[@vickierupert5693]

❤❤❤✝️

[@mason-dixon-north]

I voted for you!

[@terrymeagley8196]

One day I hope I can buy "Like A River"

[@Odieboggs]

I voted for your book.

[@jagslayerboy9647]

The Spencer Wright family just lost their 3 yr old Son Levi, to a drowning, He loved tractors and dinosaurs like little River, I wish I knew how get this book in their hands ❤️🙏

[@laurens8623]

Its not about awards . Our award is in heaven

[@maryboivin8493]

I’m a K-LOVE fan and a Granger fan! 😊 I hope to hear each of you speak sometime. Are either of you coming to Michigan?

[@kathrynaraguz4816]

Granger, Just keep glorifying Christ in all things.. earthly Awards dont matter. Lets go for the eternal award where you get to have River back, and I get to have my brother back along with my grandparents and your father sitting at Jesus feet. I know there is a lesson in Faith in loss, but im not quite seeing it yet. The more I read the Bible, the more I have a million questions.

[@coolstamper]

Come on Granger…give us some Christian music!!!

[@lindahewlett4899]

Granger, I wish you would let your hair grow out. You can be a super cool preacher without the 1960's/70's papaw haircut. But I love you all very much!

[@TheSmithsTV]

My goal is certainly not to be a “super cool” preacher, but instead to be a faithful one. -g

[@simonemoreno4324]

I hope you get your wife pregnant again so river can reincarnate back into the family so then we’ll have river back❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bowed305]

That's not possible. Reincarnation is not real, nor is it Biblical. While you may not mean to, it's dishonoring the life that River lived to wish for such a thing. The three years he had here were sufficient for him to leave his lasting legacy on earth, and now he can rejoice in the reward of His Heavenly Father.

[@lovedairycows]

after River was born Amber had her tubes tied and they did IVF to get Maverick who is all there kids little brother.
