Life Hacks: What I Would Tell My Younger Self Pt. 2, with Greg & Jonathan Laurie

About this sermon

Pastor Greg and Jonathan Laurie are back this week for part 2 of their “life hacks” conversation—this time talking about what it looks like to finish our lives well and the hope to be found in second chances. Pastor Greg opens up about his own 50-plus year journey of following Jesus—the rewards, the losses, and the unexpected moments of grace—inviting us to consider the true meaning of spiritual fruit and always hold out hope for last-minute salvation. Father and son also talk about the importance of choosing your spouse well, how to keep your marriage vibrant and life-giving, and finding true delight in following Jesus. Jonathan finishes up their conversation by sharing a prayer for any one of us looking for a new beginning.
