Monty has written hits recorded by artists like George Strait, Eric Church, and Scotty McCreery, including “I Saw God Today,” “Hell Of A View,” and “Five More Minutes.” His songs have earned 21 Top 40 singles, multiple #1 hits, and more than 30 Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum certifications. A CMA Single of the Year winner, Monty’s writing is known for its honesty, faith, and emotional depth. After surviving stage 3 colon cancer, he expanded his platform beyond songwriting through “An Evening With Monty Criswell,” where he shares powerful stories about resilience, purpose, and what it means to live with intention.  Monty’s message is simple and hard-earned: be thankful for a second chance at life and make it count. 🟥 HOST: BRAD WARREN OF THE WARREN BROTHERS 🌐 Website: https://goodgriefgoodgodshow.com/ 💠 About: The Good Grief Good God Show, hosted by Grammy-nominated and Emmy-winning songwriter Brad Warren of The Warren Brothers, explores RAW, HONEST CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SURVIVING THINGS THAT SUCK.
