Greg Laurie and Chuck Swindoll on Navigating Life’s Heartbreaks

July 16 • 1hr 36min

Episode 3: Finding Depth in the Pain

For many years, Greg Laurie and Pastor Chuck Swindoll have been friends who have ministered together and carry deep regard for one another. Now they sit down to reflect on what God has taught them along the way.

Greg Laurie serves as the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California and is a respected author, evangelist, and crusade leader across the country.

While Chuck and Greg share plenty of fun stories, they also become vulnerable. They share their testimonies, including the difficult childhoods that God used to shape them in profound ways. Both experienced an unexpected call into ministry and have been used in ways they least expected. Nevertheless, they weren’t immune to tragedy. Greg shares how the loss of his son took him into some dark places, but God was faithful to carry him through it all.

You’ll walk away with the tools to have:

  • the humility to step aside and let God take control
  • a deeper understanding of how God uses heartbreak to build compassion and depth
  • a new appreciation for the importance of simplicity and vulnerability in ministry
  • practical wisdom for sharing our unchanging gospel with a culture that’s changed dramatically

Hear how God’s hand is on your life no matter what season you’re going through.

Today, each one has more than 70 years of ministry experience behind them.

Chuck and Jimmy sit down for a wide-ranging discussion covering:

  • How God surprised them both—and why staying open to His call matters more than having a plan
  • What they’ve learned from low points in ministry, and why discouragement is never the right time to make a decision
  • Why you won’t receive all your rewards until eternity
  • Practical wisdom for staying pure and humble in ministry
  • What 70-plus years of faithful marriage looks like—and the secret to it

Grab a seat and enjoy the conversation.
