In this powerful episode, Granger Smith sits down with Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne, president of Living Waters, to unpack a riveting testimony of redemption—from a violent youth in gang life to becoming a leading voice in evangelism. E.Z. reflects on his deep admiration for Ray Comfort (his now father-in-law), their Middle Eastern backgrounds, and the unifying power of the gospel.

The conversation shifts into his passion for purity and spiritual warfare as he introduces his book Fight Like a Man. With striking biblical insight, E.Z. offers men a tactical, grace-filled strategy for battling pornography, summed up in the memorable acrostic “NOPE: Not One Peek Even.” Through the “Six Cs” framework—Creation, Cross, Crisis, Crown, Crowd, and Christ—he calls men to fight with eternal purpose and deep love for God, family, and the church.

In this compelling episode, Granger Smith sits down with apologist and author Greg Koukl (Tactics, Street Smarts) for an in-depth conversation about faith, fame, and how asking the right questions can open hearts and minds to truth.

This episode is packed with wisdom on how to speak truth without religious jargon, how to live humbly in the spotlight, and how to engage skeptics by simply asking, “What do you mean by that?”

Whether you’re a believer seeking confidence in conversations, or a skeptic exploring deeper questions, this episode offers clarity, authenticity, and a path forward.

This week singer-songwriter Ben Fuller shares his powerful journey from a broken upbringing in Vermont to finding redemption in Jesus Christ. Raised on a dairy farm without faith, Ben turns to alcohol and drugs to cope with deep emotional wounds. After losing his best friend to an overdose, he pursues music and moves to Nashville, where early success at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge deepens his struggles. Everything changes when a family invites him to church, leading to a radical encounter with Jesus in 2019. Ben is baptized and immediately leaves behind his addictions and old lifestyle. Since then, his music and life center on proclaiming the Gospel. He tours with major Christian artists, finds accountability through a Christ-centered community, and commits to regular Bible reading and prayer. In their conversation, Granger encourages Ben to stay rooted in Scripture, reminding him that storms will come but Christ remains steady. Ben now lives with the simple prayer: "Here I am, Lord. Send me," faithfully using his voice — and his life — to point others to Jesus.
