The 9:47 Podcast
The 9:47 Podcast is a personal, faith-centered show hosted by Micah Smith. It covers married life, ministry, business, parenting, homeschooling, family chaos, movies, food, and everything in between. There are no polished scripts or perfect schedules, just honest conversation about real life, real busyness, and real love. Episodes blend practical reflections on family and faith with everyday topics.
