In today’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg Laurie sits down with Shannon Bream—Fox News Sunday host, chief legal correspondent, and author of Nothing Is Impossible with God—for an inspiring conversation about faith, resilience, and finding purpose amid impossible odds. “You are the worst person I’ve ever seen on TV.” What happens when your greatest setbacks propel you toward your biggest breakthroughs? 

Shannon Bream opens up about her journey from lawyer to national journalist, sharing powerful stories about battling chronic pain, enduring professional rejection, and navigating life-changing diagnoses—with honesty, humility, and hope. She reflects on moments when faith was all she could cling to, from her husband Sheldon’s surprise brain tumor diagnosis at 24 to her own years of debilitating, undiagnosed eye pain. Through each storm, Shannon reveals how prayer, scripture, and the support of the Christian community guided her toward healing and purpose.

Together, Greg and Shannon discuss some of the most significant Supreme Court decisions from her career, the unexpected challenges of interviewing world leaders, and the lessons learned from biblical figures like Gideon, Joseph, and Jonah. Shannon’s deep knowledge of scripture shines as she unpacks what it means to be an overcomer, sharing encouragement for anyone facing adversity: God never allows pain without purpose.

Tune in for relatable stories of doubt, perseverance, and laughter—plus a few surprises, like Shannon’s favorite cookie obsession and lessons learned from offbeat humor and self-deprecation. Whether you’re struggling with your own setbacks, aspiring to make an impact, or simply seeking hope in a divided world, this episode offers practical wisdom and spiritual insight for every listener.

What does it take to get heaven’s attention? In this inspiring episode of The Greg Laurie Podcast, Pastor Greg Laurie shares a never-before-heard story about acclaimed actor Kelsey Grammer, best known for his iconic role as Frasier, and reveals the profound power of faith that moves not just mountains—but God Himself.

Journey with Pastor Greg Laurie as he recounts his personal friendship with Kelsey Grammer on the set of Jesus Revolution, revealing how a simple prayer for meaning led Kelsey Grammer to a role that transformed his spiritual journey. You'll hear a touching first-hand account of Kelsey Grammer’s spiritual awakening at a Harvest Crusade, exploring what it meant for him to step onto a field—questioning God in the midst of past tragedy—and receive an unmistakable answer.

This episode dives deep into the biblical story of the Roman centurion whose faith astounded Jesus, examining why it was an outsider—a “full-blown pagan”—who demonstrated a trust in Christ that even lifelong believers often miss. Pastor Greg Laurie unpacks the different kinds of faith, from belief that sits on a shelf, to living, risk-taking faith that acts—and receives miracles.

Two unforgettable insights await you:

• An honest, moving testimony from Kelsey Grammer about wrestling with grief and finding hope on the field of Angel Stadium
• The surprising truth that sometimes, outsiders see spiritual reality more clearly than insiders—and why religious familiarity can be the greatest barrier to amazement

Whether you’re new to faith, wrestling with doubt, or seeking your own moment of breakthrough, this episode is an invitation to examine what real, “amazing faith” looks like—and how you can experience a relationship with God that is both authentic and life-changing.

In this episode, Pastor Greg Laurie tackles one of the most provocative questions in Bible prophecy: Is the Antichrist alive today? Drawing from Scripture and current events observations, he explores how deception in the last days may not come in the form of obvious evil, but rather through things that appear good—even helpful. From fake tulips to fake lives on social media, Pastor Greg illustrates how our world is saturated with imitations and how this culture of counterfeit can prepare the way for the ultimate deceiver. He also unpacks the biblical profile of the Antichrist, not as a cartoonish villain, but as a charismatic, peace-promoting figure who will mislead many.

Ultimately, Pastor Greg warns against replacing divine truth with digital convenience, urging you to remain rooted in Christ rather than seeking guidance from technology. If you have never put your faith in Jesus Christ, this episode closes with an invitation accept Him as your Lord.
