Greg Laurie: Last News

Ukraine has 'prophetic significance.' Evangelical pastor Greg Laurie from the Harvest Christian Fellowship in California claims the Bible predicts the coming of war and plagues when Jesus is meant to return to Earth - which he claims is related to the current conflict and the coronavirus pandemic. In a bizarre social media video following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Laurie said: "Is there any prophetic significance to what is happening in Ukraine right now?“The answer is…Yes! I believe that Christ could come back at any moment.“There are signs of times the Bible tells us to be looking for.

Kelsey Grammer has said he “won’t apologise” for his faith as he discussed religion while promoting his latest film, Jesus Revolution. Based on the book of the same name by Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn, the film follows the true story of youth minister Laurie. Grammer, 68, who is best known for playing Frasier Crane in TV sitcom Frasier, portrays pastor Chuck Smith who helps Laurie to spread the Christian movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s across the United States.

USA Today, Kelsey said: 'I've had hiccups. I’ve had some tragic times. I have wrestled with those and worked my way through them.

Kelsey Grammer reflected on refusing to "apologize" for his faith. In a recent interview, the 68-year-old actor, who was raised a Christian Scientist and plays a pastor in the new faith-based film "Jesus Revolution," opened up about how his relationship with religion has evolved throughout his life.

The new faith-based movie Jesus Revolution is now in theaters and there’s a scene at the very end of the credits that moviegoers might want to see.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Half a century ago Hollywood was frantically trying to figure out the newly-dominant “youth market.” Since some of that market had recently found Jesus, there was a brief spate of related films: Zefferelli’s hippie-fied St. Francis biopic “Brother Sun, Sister Moon,” adapted stage musicals “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Godspell,” the Billy Graham-produced “A Time to Run” chief among them. But as the “Jesus Movement” got absorbed into more mainstream institutions, the brief vogue flickered out.  For a moment there, however, counterculture and Christ had a groovy thing going on, one that promised both salvation for those who’d gone overboard on sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll, as well as a healthy shakeup of churches that had lost touch with younger generations. Dramatizing that moment is “Jesus Revolution,” an engaging, upbeat new effort from co-directors Jon Erwin (“I Can Only Imagine”) and Brent McCorkle (“Unconditional”), adapted from Greg Laurie’s memoir. 

It is not often these days that you get a Hollywood studio release born out of the late 60’s and 70’s hippie movement, but in blending a true life faith based story with the uninhibited counter culture of the time you have Jesus Revolution, the latest spiritual exercise from the Erwin Brothers’ Kingdom Story Company virtual factory of inspirational faith-based films that really took hold with their smash hit I Can Only Imagine , and more recently included the Kurt Warner football story, American Underdog.
