- For generations, Pastor Chuck Swindoll has helped millions of people understand Scripture with wisdom, warmth, and clarity. In this special conversation, Pastor Greg Laurie sits down with one of his lifelong heroes—not simply to conduct an interview, but to learn from a pastor whose ministry, leadership, and integrity has shaped the church for decades.
Together they reflect on the experiences that form faithful servants of God. Pastor Greg shares his unlikely journey from a broken childhood to a lifetime of ministry, while Pastor Chuck offers a profound perspective on preaching, humility, suffering, leadership, and what it means to finish well.
More than an interview, this is a candid conversation between two preachers—one drawing out the hard-earned wisdom of another whose life has been marked by grace, endurance, and unwavering faithfulness.
In this interview you'll hear:
How God prepared two very different men for ministry
Chuck Swindoll's timeless wisdom on preaching and shepherding God's people
Greg's testimony of coming to Christ during the Jesus Movement
Lessons learned from Billy Graham and Chuck Smith
Why suffering often produces deeper compassion in those God uses most
A moving discussion about grief, faith, and finding hope in life's hardest moments

14/07/2026 | 1h 7minWhat if the biggest obstacle to evangelism isn't skill—it's fear of failure?
In this conversation, two pastors with decades of experience in evangelism discuss the questions pastors and everyday Christians ask most often about communicating the gospel.
Greg Laurie is joined by Pastor Bob Franquiz of Calvary Fellowship in Miramar, Florida, for a practical conversation on preaching, personal evangelism, and helping people take a genuine step toward Christ.
They cover:
• How Chuck Smith identified the gift of evangelism in Greg before he saw it himself
• The difference between evangelizing and being an evangelist
• Why Greg says "study to be simple"—advice he got from Billy Graham
• How to build an evangelistic culture in your church
• The mechanics of a clear gospel invitation (and why most fall apart at the landing)
• The role of music, storytelling, and cultural awareness in reaching people
• Why success in evangelism is faithfulness, not numbers
Whether you're a pastor looking to sharpen your calling or a believer wanting to share Christ more naturally, this conversation is honest, practical, and full of hard-won wisdom from five decades of ministry.

In this episode, Greg Laurie makes the case that our nation's future depends on a spiritual awakening — and that it starts with everyday Christians choosing to live differently.
Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, Greg unpacks what Jesus meant when He called His followers "salt and light," and why isolation isn't the answer to a darkening culture. Instead, we're called to infiltrate — to influence the people around us with authenticity, truth, and the gospel.
In this episode:
- Why the breakdown of the family sits at the root of America's crisis
- The two Georges who shaped America (and why one is often forgotten)
- What salt actually did in the ancient world — and how that applies to us
- How AI, deception, and cultural drift echo the warnings of Scripture
- Four practical ways to influence the culture without being compromised by it
- A closing invitation to put your faith in Jesus Christ

In this episode, Greg Laurie opens up the Bible's answer to anxious thoughts that keep you awake. You'll learn why prayer is your secret weapon, how to cast your cares the way Scripture actually means it, and what Romans 8:28 is really saying (and what it isn't).
What we cover:
• Why becoming a Christian doesn't end your problems—but gives you a new way to face them
• King Jehoshaphat's honest prayer when he was outnumbered and out of options
• The conditioned reflex of "Don't panic, pray. Don't worry, worship."
• Why God's timing isn't indifference—it's wisdom
• The story of Joseph and how good can come despite genuinely bad things
• What can actually block your prayers
Greg also shares personal stories—praying years for his mother's salvation, losing his son Christopher, and trusting God when life doesn't tie up neatly.
If worry has been stealing your sleep, this conversation is for you.
