My conversation with Greg Laurie:

@greglaurie I will recognize Greg Laurie’s voice anywhere. My mom used to listen to him on the radio or perhaps on cassette tapes. Finally it’s nice to put a name and a face to his voice.

@greglaurie We are wired to know God The inconsolable longing is real 🙏

I wanted to take a moment to share a piece of my journey and express my gratitude. I grew up struggling with school and barely graduated high school—my stepfather delicately referred to it as “touch and go.” My twenties were a whirlwind of entry-level jobs—gas stations, fast food, theaters—and poor decisions. I was a full-time liar, a part-time thief, and for a long time, I floundered. Eventually, I stumbled into an entry-level IT job in a field I loved. After three years, I had the audacity to start my own business, quitting a decent-paying job in the process. Predictably, it was a hard road—I earned barely enough to survive and eventually gave up. For years, I drank heavily and felt sorry for myself. When I reconnected with an ex, she became my reason to grow up. We married, and I gave her a couple of tough years before I realized I needed to change. Therapy set me on the path to self-betterment, and that path led me to your work. Six years ago, I finally woke up. For the first time, I had a vision of the person I wanted to be—a better husband, son, and business owner. Today, I am proud of who I’ve become: I am a loving dedicated husband, debt-free, have savings, and own a multimillion-dollar company. Reading and writing have always been a challenge for me, but I’ve started to focus on improving those skills. My wife and I saw you in Michigan at the "We Who Wrestle With God" tour, and your retweet of my review meant more to me than I can put into words. I’ve recently started the Self Authoring course and am working on sharing my experiences in business, particularly my belief that the barriers to success are often not as insurmountable as they seem. I’ve found that many of my early shortcomings have become strengths. If you ever have the time or interest, I would deeply value your feedback on a rough draft I’ve written. Regardless, I simply wanted to say thank you. Your work has profoundly impacted my life. May God bless you and your family. <3

@greglaurie Precious Dr. Peterson, my heart is with you in the loss of your father. No words, just tears, and a gentle hug for you. I wish I could give you that in person. May the God of all comfort be with you and comfort you.

@greglaurie 🤠🤠
