Why I Left Music

[@bigrexy7895]

Hey Granger Smith glad to see you doing well! I honestly have not heard your name in years and i hired a new guy and was telling him about how we used to jam out to earl dibbles jr and you back in highschool lol. I was an athiest for a long time after turning away from the christian faith. I have a daughter she turns 1 year old in october and could not be happier. Well a few months ago i have gave my life to the lord and i randomly looked up your youtube to show my friend your songs and seen all the preaching and i am so glad to listen to some of your podcasts which have helped me get closer to god in my journey. I want to say i was a strong christian but after living life without christ and coming back i feel like i am 10x stronger in the faith and growing daily. I just want to say i love you brother jesus loves you and i am so happy to see you doing well and working in jesus's name. I pray for your success and happiness in life and to have a healthy happy family with an unbreakable bond. Love a small town Tennessee man -Rex

Wow. New subscriber here. Wasn't sure how you were gonna answer the first question on pride and being proud, I thought for sure it was a stumper. But your point about not being 'proud' of people from far away places, and thus the feeling of being proud really being a self-centered feeling of pride at the very core of it, blew my mind. Real good stuff you got here, God bless

[@bowed305]

Interesting, because I didn't agree with that point. I know I've seen children or young people do things that I've thought were noble, and I feel pride and admiration for them, even though I don't know them or really have anything to do with them. I think it can be self-centered, but I don't think it's limited to that. For instance, I think about the Olympics. There are athletes from other countries that do incredible things and overcome incredible odds. They are then the recipients of a gold medal and their anthem is played. I watch this amazing scene, and I'm proud for them. That has nothing to do with me. I'm just really impressed by what they've done.

[@Marvinmiller7447]

To your point, Granger draws a distinction between being proud of someone vs being impressed. From my understanding he meant that since the Bible has a certain definition for the word pride, he wants to retain that definitio in his everyday language. Today the word proud can take on a meaning similar to being well pleased but Scripturally it's always an elevation of self. I know you know this but just wanted to point out that he did mention that he might be impressed but not 'proud' of someone who has no connection with himself.

[@bowed305]

@@Marvinmiller7447 As the person who wrote in said in his email, I think this is a discussion about a lot of semantics. We may change the word that we are saying or using, but the feeling we have is still the same. It’s the feeling that we need to be most careful about.

[@Marvinmiller7447]

@@bowed305 right I agree. I do see Granger's point in not using it with his children. I think there could be danger in using a word to mean something almost opposite that of Scriptural interpretation. But like you mentioned it is semantics so we're not dealing with a right and wrong here. What makes it right or wrong is the condition of the heart. Thank you for your thoughts brother.

[@NoPaintGarage]

I have been a fan of your music for a long time. Also a brother in christ. A born again. Not a cultural Christian. Enjoying your podcasts. Backroad song is still one of my favorites! Although i disagree with some of your views on music, i did enjoy listening to your take on it. I think as long as music is clean and not glorifying and praising sin, like getting drunk, sleeping with anyone you want and stuff like that, then there really isn't anything wrong with it. Especially a good country love song. There are love songs in the bible. And God wants us to Love our spouse and have a good marriage and take marriage seriously. I think those songs are just as important as sunday morning worship songs. Keep the pods coming!

[@TylerRN21-t8y]

Granger, I listened to this podcast a month or so and was definitely on board with your views as I usually agree with you on everything and I’ve seen exactly what you talk about with the Christian concerts I have attended!however, I just got back from a concert that I took my wife to, in Wichita Kansas (Brandon Lake). And Brandon Lake showed me it is possible to avoid sin and sing for God only .i encourage anyone to go see Brandon Lake as well as watch his movie that he put out with Phil wickham..only concert I’ve ever been to that the artist states he is doing this for God not for himself and first one I’ve seen do an alter call before his last song instead of simply providing entertainment.Brandon is doing this to preach the word of God and no other reason in my opinion.he opened my eyes with this topic.i do believe it would be tough, but Brandon showed me it can be done !

If I were to say, "I am proud of my kids" to me it feels like I am taking credit for how they turned out. I would much rather say, "I am grateful to God for how my kids are doing." I am not American so maybe there is a difference in how others see the meaning. All good things come from God ,& He deserves the glory (definitely not me). I cringe when I hear someone say, "You should be proud of yourself." That is promoting pride. We are told to edify/build others up though, so it may be a fine line between the meanings of words. What about saying something like, "Wow, God is using you to do great stuff!" 💒

I kind of disagree with you as far as your fans needing to “worship you.” I saw you live and listen to your music because I resonate with the art you created. Now I resonate with your podcast. I don’t see it as much different.

[@fields-n-feathers]

I absolutely respect you and what God is doing through you with this platform. I also agree with you that there is corruption in Christian music, BUT I also believe there is corruption in anything that involves humanity. Coming from the country music scene, I'm certain you were regularly bombarded with fans who really did WORSHIP you. They traveled miles and spent embarrassing amounts of money to be in your presence. I can imagine how awful that must have felt after the Holy Spirit took over your heart. Do I think that same kind of misplaced worship occurs within Christian music, of course. What I don't agree with is the assumption that EVERYONE that attends a concert or sings those songs does it from a sinful, fleshly perspective. What I can KNOW, is only what's in MY heart. I know Who I'm worshipping and His Name is Jesus. If we allow your thoughts on this to permeate ours, where does it end? Should ANYONE sing to God with other believers in a big group, in a small group, in their own homes? Someone might worship them while they're praising God. PLEASE know I support you and your sweet family!! I just kept chewing on this subject and couldn't swallow. Love you, in Christ, my brother. 🧡Rogersville Tennessee

[@bowed305]

I don't think we can prove Biblically that pride is God's most hated sin. From what I understand, God sees sin as sin, not in the degrees and shades that we tend to give them. I think those levels were something humans created to feel better about themselves and to justify their condemnation of others. James 2 teaches us that if we're guilty in one area then we're guilty in all, meaning that we're lawbreakers, no matter which law we broke. I know we're no longer under the Old Law, but the point carries over regarding God's expectations of our behavior based on His teaching in HIs Word. Yes, there are different earthly consequences of some sins, but I can't see anywhere where the Bible teaches that there are differing levels of Hell based on which sins we've committed. It may very well be, though, that pride is mentioned so often because it's the gateway to so many of the sins we commit. In fact, we can go back to the Garden, and Satan used pride to get Adam & Eve to violate the one law they were given to follow.

[@lorimostellerjesussaves6264]

Exactly which is why it is most hated bc pride in your self causes you to become your own god or maybe not your whole life as he says depends on where your at in your house and what room your cleaning but we all have pride somewhere where even as not.

Archeologist found some ancient scrolls and whats written on them completely disproves everything our modern bible has taught us. Its been altered and translated so far from the truth that 90% of the world believes Christianity to be a cult as they should! On another note any and all people who claim to be Christian should read this book. Its called original sin written by PHD. Dr. Ammon Hillman.

Causing a child to stumble from God you are better off committing suicide. I would argue thats more unforgivable.

Pride is the root of all sin .. pride would cause you to do the unforgivable sin🤷🏻‍♀️

@@lorimostellerjesussaves6264 you have pride in your salvation and your Savior do you not? Pride can be whatever a person chooses to let it be.

@@joshuahockman1128 pride is what drives us all.. I’m not saying I don’t have any and neither does anyone and granger wasn’t either .. but it’s still needs to be talked about addressed and brought in the light to ponder on to humble us on daily .. I didn’t mean to seem like I’m more holier than you cause I’m not.. but acting like pride isn’t something we still deal with in some form or fashion everyday and calling it out is not saying I’m without it..

Had you have left before you’d amassed a fortune I think I would have believed.

Those who don’t create, critique.

[@bowed305]

Amassed a fortune? So you are privy to his finances? Being successful and well-known does not automatically equate to having large sums of money. Those who spend any time listening to Granger and Amber know that their lives were dramatically changed after the loss of River. This is just another step in that change.

[@bowed305]

@@pagejames8754 It’s not about agreeing or not. It’s about accuracy in information. Just because Granger is well known and has had some hits doesn’t mean he’s wealthy. We simply don’t have facts to back that up. People can’t think he made a dumb or bad choice all they want. It should just be done properly.

[@LegitKingOnYouTube]

With all do respect granger you can still perform for your fans and still do the whole Christian thing why can’t you do both

[@bowed305]

Granger said he can't still perform for his fans the way he used to and be the Christian he understands that he should be now, so we should believe him. He made a personal choice for his life, and we should respect that.

[@LegitKingOnYouTube]

@@bowed305 😂 he actually could still perform & still be a Christian at the same time and nobody has to. Respect anything

[@bowed305]

@@LegitKingOnKZbin No, we don't have to respect his wishes at all. If someone claims to be a follower or fan of Granger's, though, we should accept what he's told us about what's right for him, even if it's not what we want. It's how we should treat all people in our lives. It's basic human kindness and respect.
