My Take
I find Greg Laurie a genuinely compelling figure. Born in Long Beach in 1952, he turned the Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside into a major congregation and founded the stadium-filling Harvest Crusades, blending evangelism with showmanship in a uniquely Californian way. As a Christian author too, he is fundamentally a communicator, and moving tens of thousands with words alone is, to me, a kind of mastery no different from commanding a stage. His active presence on Instagram and X shows a willingness to meet new generations where they are. Whatever one's beliefs, sustaining that reach for half a century commands serious respect.
