Page 185: Granger Smith: Country Music Star Finds Faith After Tragedy  

Granger Smith had always found it easy to work hard on the things he was passionate about. Country music was at the top of that list. Last year after 24 years of touring as an award-winning, platinum-selling, singer and songwriter, Granger made the decision to leave the music business to pursue a future in ministry. That was something that a few years ago would have seemed impossible. But a tragic accident at his family’s home in 2019 had forced Granger onto a new path. He finally understood that no matter how hard he worked, he could not save himself. Granger is the host of the Granger Smith Podcast and the author of Life After River:Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Loss and Heartache. *Caution: This episode includes some graphic content, including the loss of a child and discussion of suicide.

Page 247: Kari Hoffmann: Miracle at the Mall

It was a story that made national headlines. In April of 2019, a five-year-old boy was thrown from a third-floor balcony at the Mall of America by a stranger. Landen Hoffmann’s injuries were catastrophic, and his survival was uncertain. But his mother, Kari, responded with unshakable faith. Drawing on what she’d learned growing up in church, Kari immediately turned to prayer, refusing to give in to fear or hatred. Landen spent four months in the hospital, facing multiple surgeries, serious complications, and long, painful nights. There were setbacks that baffled even his doctors. Yet Kari never stopped believing for complete healing. Kari Hoffmann is sharing their story through her book, Miracle at the Mall. This is the incredible account of a mother’s fierce faith, a miraculous recovery, and a God who still moves mountains.
