He announced the news to his fans via a video post on Instagram, stating that he had a strong calling to ministry and had been pursuing his master\u2019s degree in theology, while continuing to create music. In his post, the \u201cBackroad Song\u201d singer acknowledged that the decision was difficult to make, after having performed for 24 years. <\/p>\n<p>Smith expressed his desire to glorify God in his future endeavors and hopes to encourage others to identify and pursue their purpose. He is, however, unsure what the future holds for him, but plans to serve his local church and allow his pastors to guide him in his next steps. The artist also highlighted his desire to reconcile his pursuit of ministry with his weekend performances which require praise and glorification.<\/p>\n<p>Smith acknowledged the influence of his faith on his life, especially after the loss of his three-year-old son, River, in 2019. The singer attributed his faith to saving him from hitting rock bottom. He recently welcomed another son, Maverick, with his wife, Amber, and they have two other children, London and Lincoln. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/surrendered-to-god-country-singer-granger-smith-says-faith-saved-my-life-after-losing-his-child\">\u2018Surrendered To God\u2019: Country Singer Granger Smith Says Faith \u2018Saved My Life\u2019 After Losing His Child<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Click here to get the Daily Wire app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country star Granger Smith has announced his final tour this summer, explaining that he\u2019s leaving the music industry to focus on his faith and pursue ministry.
