Granger Smith Concerts Will Soon End As the Country Star Steps Back to Pursue Ministry

Granger Smith concerts will soon be coming to an end as the country star takes a step back from music in order to pursue ministry. The musician has decided to focus his time, energy, and efforts on more faith-based activities.

Following God and being a disciple of His often requires a fair amount of faith. Sometimes the Lord can push us in a direction, onto an unknown road, where the future is more than a little murky and unclear. Stepping out in blind trust and obedience to God’s calling is often scary and filled with uncertainty.

He mentioned that he has “been attending seminary” at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Granger called this period in his life a “time of learning and growing.”

Later in the video, Granger Smith stated that he got to the point where he could not continue working in the music industry, performing on stage at concerts, and serving the Lord. He could not do both. So, he made a decision for the Lord.

In the video, Granger specifically mentions reading Mark 8:34, in which Jesus instructs the crowd and His disciples that anyone who follows Him must “deny himself and take up His cross.” He called performing on stage, seeking personal adulation and praise from the crowd and attending seminary, pursuing ministry a “contradiction.”

Granger ended the video by stating how excited he is to be answering God’s call on his heart.

1 Thessalonians 5:24 “Faithful is he that calls you, who also will do it.”
