On the episode this week: Nate is hungry. Aaron steers us back.

Nate and Aaron talk with guest Granger Smith. Granger has a bookshelf with a ladder and throws guitars with his kids. He came from a good home with lots of support and still had bad things happen and made bad choices. Granger shares the loss of his son, his weak faith, and almost ending it all. He shares how he made the decision to move from being a successful musician to a non-paid pastor as he transitioned his purpose in life being his job, getting rid of self hate, and how he couldn’t think and logic himself healthy.
