Brothers, banter and Scripture, all chasing the one lost sheep.
The 9941 Podcast gathers brothers Granger, Tyler and Parker Smith with Ant-Man to look at the world, and at their own lives, through Scripture. Between rounds of teasing, they take on church statements of faith, daily Bible reading and the tension between grace and the command to sin no more.

The 9941 Podcast takes its name from the parable in Luke 15 of a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep behind to recover the one that wandered. The hosts retell it at the top of episode after episode and describe their aim as seeking the one and equipping the ninety-nine to do the same. The numbers also sit on a hat. One host recalls a stranger in Minneapolis asking what 99.41 meant, and admits that turning straight to the gospel can feel a little awkward, even when that is the whole point. Brothers Granger, Tyler and Parker Smith lead the conversation alongside Ant-Man, whom they call a brother in Christ. They admit the format is loose: they record on Tuesdays and don't always know the topic before they begin. So the talk drifts. The show is also filmed, and longtime viewers get teased about how often the room has been rearranged. Seats change hands when a regular is away, a guest jokes about having to follow the previous week's visitor, and a travel ordeal that kept one host up past two in the morning runs long enough that someone asks when the others tuned out. Even that story bends toward a point, that God's sovereignty is a comfort when plans fall apart. The theology underneath is firm and stated plainly. In one excerpt the group reads the passage about a father who would not give his child a stone for bread, and dwells on the phrase 'if you then who are evil' as a reminder that people need new hearts. In another, one host objects to church language about wounds and scars, saying it hides the deeper word, sin. The group then holds grace and the command to sin no more side by side, citing Romans 8:13 and 1 John 2. A conversation with Marshall, introduced as a longtime friend of the podcast, looks at church statements of faith and observes that the articles on God and Jesus tend to agree, while the ones on salvation and on the church itself are where congregations differ. Elsewhere the group argues that daily Bible reading, rather than an occasional look, is what a person falls back on in the middle of a trial, and compares it to military training. Amber Smith also joins at times, once stepping in when Ant-Man is unwell. Titles such as 'Is The Bible True?', 'Every Christian Needs To Hear This!' and 'What Happened in Iran is in the Bible! (revised)' show a range that runs from whether Scripture is reliable to world events, and the more personal 'They Told Us Our Son Would Never Wake Up!' sits among them. One episode closes by reading out appreciative comments, including a sixteen-year-old's note calling the show convicting and inspiring. Another ends on a short telling of the gospel: a perfect life, a death for sins, burial, resurrection on the third day, and the offer made to those who repent and believe. Books mentioned on air are linked from the show's website, and the goodbyes tend to point to next Monday, 'Lord willing.'
Made for: Suits a listener who wants Bible-first conversation with family warmth and plenty of teasing, and who is comfortable hearing sin, repentance and salvation named plainly rather than softened.
What sets it apart: Suits a listener who would rather sit in on a family hangout than hear a lecture: three brothers and Ant-Man trade jokes and seat swaps, then take firm, verse-cited positions on grace, obedience and what a church should believe.
The 9941 Podcast is a weekly faith conversation hosted by Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and Anthony Lay, rooted in the words of Jesus from Luke 15:4 - “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?”That is the mission of this podcast: to share the Gospel and pursue the one who feels lost or far from God. Through honest conversation, Scripture, and real-life stories, The 9941 Podcast points hearts back to Christ and the joy found in redemption. New episodes release every Monday morning at 6:00 a.m.
