In this recording, preserved from the 100th birthday celebration of Billy Graham after Billy went to Heaven, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses a gathered crowd of ministry leaders, pastors, and many others joining to celebrate Billy’s life. Greg Laurie expands on Billy Graham’s common refrain that he was “just a country preacher,” and shares familiar stories about his relationship with Billy.

Pastor Greg reads a passage from Acts 20 and explains what it means to finish well as a minister of the gospel, strongly encouraging us to run the spiritual race of life well. 

More topics that Greg addresses are:
The origins of the “Modesto Manifesto”
Billy as a bridge-builder
Who could replace Billy Graham?
Billy’s constant emphasis on the presentation of the gospel message
