Is ministry really worth it? In this episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg Laurie sits down with legendary pastor Jack Graham, Senior Pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church and host of the wildly popular “Bible in a Year” podcast, for a raw, heartfelt conversation about calling, leadership, and navigating life’s toughest storms. Together, Jack Graham and Pastor Greg Laurie reflect on decades of ministry, sharing wisdom for both young and seasoned leaders. From the highs of spiritual revival and generational impact, to the personal lows of tragedy and burnout, their candid discussion offers practical wisdom and refreshing encouragement drawn from real experience. Key moments include Jack Graham's touching account of how tragedy shaped his ministry, the enduring power of forgiveness, and a behind-the-scenes look at how a simple act of reading Bible stories as a child sparked a movement reaching millions worldwide. Their conversation also tackles urgent issues like the rise of antisemitism, the role of the local church in a culture driven by media influencers, and essential principles for finishing well—both in marriage and in ministry. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, or someone longing for purpose and hope in your own calling, you’ll find yourself inspired by deep biblical truths, practical advice, and a joyful reminder that “it’s worth it” —no matter the cost.
