Summary

He also shares what he has learned from tragedy and the calling he had to shift his career from a country artist and do Ministry. Granger also explained why he drove to meet a fan to have coffee and talk with them, opens up about how he'd feel if he died tonight, what it's like to go from playing concerts to delivering sermons and more!
