You know how difficult it is to have the courage to do what you're doing to even suggest this,

to even think about this.

What's up guys? Welcome back to the podcast Episode 188. Thank you for being here,

and thank you for listening or watching wherever you're coming from.

I'm grateful for this platform to be able to talk through things in long form.

And this is really, it's really capturing what I do all day with other stuff, a talk.

It seems like all day. And on this platform, I answer your questions.

You email me, GrangerSmithPodcast at gmail.com. And we walk through it,

I'm saying that because I literally just finished a conversation I have with this German friend

he's trying to disprove God, and I try to defend the faith from whatever questions that he has.

And it's always really nice. We're always, we're amicable to each other, right? We are friends

with each other. I'll put it that way. We don't, we don't argue. But it's really fun.

And I also have the radio show after midnight. And then I also, lately, I've been recording

my new book. I have a book coming out August 1st called Like a River.

And I'm so passionate about this book. And of all the things that I do, of all the things that I

have done, I'm most excited about this book coming out August 1st. And lately, I've been

recording the audiobook for it. So I've been reading it and recording it. And hopefully a lot of

you will be able to listen that way. If you're not a book reader, maybe you'll be an audiobook listener.

So I'm just excited about it. So it's fresh in my mind and I've literally been talking on a

microphone all day long. Let's get to your questions. Okay. I don't, I don't scan these questions
