Summary
This week’s episode is one of the most emotional and powerful yet. Granger sits down with his wife, Amber Smith to talk about the release of her brand-new book, The Girl on the Bathroom Floor — a raw and redemptive story of grief, surrender, and finding God’s purpose in unimaginable loss.
Together, they open up about the pain of losing their son River, the healing that came through Amber’s faith, and how God met her in her deepest sorrow with the words: “Enough. Seek Me.” Amber shares the meaning behind the book’s title, the story of meeting one of River’s kidney recipients, and the powerful lessons of hope and redemption that have emerged from their suffering.
They also discuss the harsh criticism that comes with sharing their story publicly — including accusations of “profiting off tragedy” — and how they’ve learned to respond with grace and truth. If you’ve ever faced loss, doubt, or the question of how God could bring beauty from brokenness, this episode will deeply move you.
