From Jesus Revolution to the White House

May 12, 2025 • John Fea

On Wednesday before Easter, Greg Laurie walked in the darkness outside the White House after enjoying a dinner with President Donald Trump and a few dozen prominent evangelical leaders.

The founding pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, looked into a phone camera held by another pro-Trump pastor, Travis Johnson, and described how “great” it was to visit “the seat of power,” the “most important building in the world.”

Laurie was back in Riverside on Easter Sunday. At the 31:35 mark of his Resurrection Day sermon, he spent six minutes telling the Harvest congregation about his visit to Washington.
