America is at a crossroads: judgment or revival. In this episode, Greg Laurie makes the case that our nation’s future depends on a spiritual awakening — and that it starts with everyday Christians choosing to live differently.
Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, Greg unpacks what Jesus meant when He called His followers "salt and light," and why isolation isn’t the answer to a darkening culture. Instead, we’re called to infiltrate — to influence the people around us with authenticity, truth, and the gospel.
In this episode:
– Why the breakdown of the family sits at the root of America’s crisis
– The two Georges who shaped America (and why one is often forgotten)
– What salt actually did in the ancient world — and how that applies to us
– How AI, deception, and cultural drift echo the warnings of Scripture
– Four practical ways to influence the culture without being compromised by it
– A closing invitation to put your faith in Jesus Christ
