Granger Smith revealed he's leaving the country music industry for ministry. The country music star will make the career move after he wraps up his 'Like a River' tour in August.

In the lengthy video, Smith elaborated on his caption saying in part,"I have felt a strong desire to pursue ministry, and this doesn’t mean I’m gonna start a church or a crusade or a revival. This means that me and my family are gonna serve our local church, we’re gonna pour into that church as members, and have my pastors and elders pour into me and disciple me and teach me as I sit under their wise teaching.

He continued:"I’ve also been attending seminary…and that just takes a ton of time to pursue my MA there. This is a time of learning and growing for me and that may explain to some of you why I’ve appeared maybe distant, especially to music lately."Granger's career moveThe tour will end on Aug. 26 and the singer expects to focus on his local church. Granger and his wife reside in near Austin, Texas.

"Being a musician was never a prison, but this is a new passion, a new focus, a new direction that I believe is going to allow me to focus more on individual people and their lives, which is ultimately why I started music touring in the very beginning," Smith told People magazine about the decision."This is an even more micro-focused position in that. I'm not going anywhere.""The first group will say, 'Oh, praise God, that's amazing. What an example.
