The Greg Laurie Show, February 15, 2026

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.
