What does it take to get heaven’s attention? In this inspiring episode of The Greg Laurie Podcast, Pastor Greg Laurie shares a never-before-heard story about acclaimed actor Kelsey Grammer, best known for his iconic role as Frasier, and reveals the profound power of faith that moves not just mountains—but God Himself.

Journey with Pastor Greg Laurie as he recounts his personal friendship with Kelsey Grammer on the set of Jesus Revolution, revealing how a simple prayer for meaning led Kelsey Grammer to a role that transformed his spiritual journey. You'll hear a touching first-hand account of Kelsey Grammer’s spiritual awakening at a Harvest Crusade, exploring what it meant for him to step onto a field—questioning God in the midst of past tragedy—and receive an unmistakable answer.

This episode dives deep into the biblical story of the Roman centurion whose faith astounded Jesus, examining why it was an outsider—a “full-blown pagan”—who demonstrated a trust in Christ that even lifelong believers often miss. Pastor Greg Laurie unpacks the different kinds of faith, from belief that sits on a shelf, to living, risk-taking faith that acts—and receives miracles.

Two unforgettable insights await you:
An honest, moving testimony from Kelsey Grammer about wrestling with grief and finding hope on the field of Angel Stadium
The surprising truth that sometimes, outsiders see spiritual reality more clearly than insiders—and why religious familiarity can be the greatest barrier to amazement

Whether you’re new to faith, wrestling with doubt, or seeking your own moment of breakthrough, this episode is an invitation to examine what real, “amazing faith” looks like—and how you can experience a relationship with God that is both authentic and life-changing.
