In this episode, we continue this short series from the archives of Pastor Greg Laurie’s special interview with Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel network of churches. Pastor Greg begins by sharing his story of how their first interaction led to the production and distribution of the popular Living Water tract (to watch a video on the tract’s history, click here).

This discussion features many details of Pastor Chuck’s life, including:
Tragedy in Pastor Chuck’s family
How he moved from a growing church to a fledgling church in Costa Mesa, CA
The birth and the beginning of the Jesus Movement
How his church grew and outgrew several of their buildings

This interview originally took place in 2012 and aired on radio that same year. Pastor Chuck Smith went to be with the Lord on October 3, 2013.
