“I couldn’t believe this was happening. It’s not possible. It’s like time just stops.”

Pastor Greg Laurie recounts hearing the news that his son was gone.

“I actually thought, if a person could die from hearing words, I could have died from what I had just heard. I lost my appetite, I couldn’t sleep, I went into an immediate state of shock, I collapsed on the floor, I could not stand. And I just cried out to God.”

Today on A New Beginning, Pastor Greg shares from his family’s very personal experience.
