Pastor Greg Laurie recently offered a clear presentation of the Gospel and the hope of Heaven to psychologist Jordan Peterson in a wide-ranging conversation addressing faith, personal loss and the universal search for purpose.
Nearing the close of the nearly two-hour-long interview with Peterson on “The Jordan B.

The 33-year-old died in July 2008 in an automobile accident, a day Laurie has called the “worst” of his life.
“As a Christian, I believe I'll see my son again because he believed in Jesus,” Laurie told Peterson. “He won't be in Heaven because I'm his dad. He'll be in Heaven because he put his faith in Christ and he had that relationship. He's a part of my future as well. So that gives me hope.
