What’s it like to lead with faith in a time of global upheaval? Today’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show features U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio like you’ve never seen him before. An honest and wide-ranging conversation about history, hope, and the challenges of leadership in turbulent times—you’re not going to want to miss this one.
Fresh off the historic release of the hostages in Israel, Secretary Rubio reflects on the behind-the-scenes courage and teamwork that made the miracle possible—giving us a rare glimpse into the high-pressure world of international negotiation and the personalities driving world-changing decisions. But this conversation goes far deeper than politics: together Pastor Greg and Secretary Rubio also dig into the impact of a God-centered marriage, the importance of strong families, and how faith shapes everyday choices at the highest levels of power.
Secretary Rubio also opens up about his own family’s story, the life-changing influence of his grandfather, and the Scriptures that anchor him during moments of anxiety and sleepless nights. Don’t miss their discussion on the rise of antisemitism, America’s founding principles, and the dangers of political indoctrination facing today’s youth—plus some lighthearted moments featuring Secretary Rubio’s favorite movies, books, and fun presidential history.
