I really hope there's another spiritual awakening in this country. It is definitely needed.

My husband and I were saved in 74 during the Jesus movement. My biggest fear about accepting Christ was that I would be called a Jesus Freak. Could not imagine myself any other way now.

I was saved in 84 and had the same problem, a fear of being ostracized. Studying the first three hundred years of church history was mind boggling to me. I worried, (even after coming to Christ) about being ostracized while early Christians were persecuted, martyred, tortured and murdered in some of the most horrendous ways that evil man could dream up, and yet never renounced their faith. I can only pray that my faith could endure such a horrifying death. "I don't really mind if they label me a Jesus Freak, there ain't no denying the truth."

I caught the end of the Jesus movement. 1979 back east. I saw many people tearing up at the theatre. It was a great movement. The church I went to was full of older hippies. I was just out of high school and have been with Christ since then.

Love Greg Laurie! I got saved at Calvary Albuquerque when pastor Greg Laurie came to visit! That man holds a special place in my heart ❤

"Down and Out In The 80's" is a great title for a book or movie. 👍

I've backslidden so much- though I'm still a true believer in Jesus Christ. This modern crisis is pushing me to seek a church... I've been so turned off by many churches I've attended over the last couple of decades, but my kids and I *desperately* need to find a church home. Before it's too late.

Hi. Where are you located? You don't gave to orovide specifics if you want, just the city will do.

Yes, it has had an amazing effect. 1973 was when I gave my heart to God; 50 years, this year! God's love is for everyone, for YOU! 💗

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!! I FELT SOOOOO GOOD WHEN I LEFT THE MOVIE THEATER 😂 THANK YOU!!

I was saved at a Calvary Chapel in Madison, Wisconsin over 10 years ago, so I was really interested in seeing this film. My wife and I both saw it and I'm pleased to say we both enjoyed it very much. The fact that a movement such as this occurred at such a divided time does give me hope that it can happen again. We have an amazing God!

I cried when the ppl showed up at the beach needing baptized near the end. 🎉

I’m part of the CFC fellowship that is a direct sprout of the Jesus People movement. Now we have planted over 3,000 church internationally. We just preach the Gospel, Make disciples And send couples out who are called. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. ✝️ >

Thank you for having Greg on the show. It was Very encouraging.

You are not the only one hoping for the next great revival Our Pastor preaches that as well. Sunday we will have our Easter service in the park so far the weather looks promising will know more Saturday evening when we will clean the area in the park. Have a memorable Holy Week everyone.

The Jesus movement hit every denomination, I went to mass in jeans and guitar mass was held outside, barefoot! The culture reflected it, pop music reflected it. Jesus Christ Superstar came with it. Calvary Chapel began. Jesus freaks was a thing. It blended in with hippie culture, flower power. Peace and love. In 69 one of my favorite songs was "Oh well" by Fleetwood Mac. Reference of God leading me. Good song still,way ahead of it's time. 1969 is a very long time ago heh.

So glad to see some different content!!! Everyone is covering the same thing.

My favorite video yet, Andrew. Greg is a very special messenger of God and doing great work in bringing the Lord to us all. I can't wait to see the film.

I'm glad the film didn't bring up Lonnie Frisbee's struggles with homosexuality. It would have distracted from the truth of the story, and honestly, many people are sick of the alphabets constantly demanding attention and forcing themselves to to forefront of every story.

I appreciate Kelsey Grammer so much....looks like an awesome film!

Lol Andrew. It’s the series The Chosen Jonathan plays Jesus

A story that will soon be told is how punk became republicans/Christians/Parents. I am one of them but this revolution is hitting my area of society, and the awakening of FTW/junkie/non-breeders moving from the darkness to the light and unto God and country; this is a story that might help others gain the strength to find a way to the light as well.

Great interview. I’m reading The Truth and Beauty at the moment after enjoying The Great Good Thing. I had no idea Andrew Klavan had his own KZread channel. This made my day.

The last two movies I saw were "Unplanned" and "Gosnell." I'm going to this one!

You are a phenomenal asset to the world, let alone Daily Wire. I hope your colleagues embrace your brilliance and appreciate your astute takes. Thank you for sharing. This said, you have the least number of followers of all the "personalities". I would encourage you to do deep dives into historic topics and how they affect the modern day by way of religion. Other than that, just do your thing, man.

Damn your beard looks fantastic Klavan!

It’s good to hear Greg lovingly correct Andrew on the sin of homosexuality.

Excellent Andrew I’ve been noticing a change in you…keep growing, you’ll never regret it Alex

I’m sure hoping the movement stops the insanity of trans , binary, fluidity, and the brainwashing of our college students. I lived in small town USA but hippie culture permeated it also. I never participated or agreed with the friends that joined into the hippie culture even though some of my close friends adopted it and it certainly had its affects. My beloved (at that time) music group The Beatles changed their music completely. Free love which was really an excuse to have sex with anyone (and your girlfriend or boyfriend ) was supposed to be embraced as it was also was “cool.” The 60s R & B and Beach Boys gave way to “psychedelic.” I’m sure my parent’s generation were in despair as many of us are now. What is frightening to me during this era is that politicians and media are not only not criticizing but defending the moral deprivation. I am praying God saves us from destroying America.

I was interested in watching this movie when I first heard about it, but I'm so skeptical of movies and shows that claim to be Christian, because there are so many people out there with bad or no theology, and I hear about ungodly things done in preparation for the creation of these movies and shows (specifically referring to Jonathan Roumie practicing necromancy and/or praying to the dead) and that stuff really turns me off of these movies and shows. On top of, and above, all of that, I have concerns about these movies and shows regarding the 2nd commandment. I'm not quite sure where I fall on that just yet, but feel better erring on the side of following God's commandments. The fact is, I'm not going to spend a bunch of time worrying about whether or not I, as a Christian, should or shouldn't watch these kinds of things. My heart and mind have been changed by the Holy Spirit and my concern is getting to know Christ more deeply and spreading His word, and to do both of those things I need to spend my time in His Word, which is what I do, instead of focusing on these movies and shows. With all of that said, I have no doubt that if God chooses to use these movies and shows to work in the heart of people for His glory, then he absolutely can and will do that. Again, I'm keeping my focus on knowing Christ better, my sanctification, disciplining my children, serving His church, and just doing whatever I can to try to manifest God's glory. May He bless and keep you all.

As you can see we are all going thru what some call karma on this planet daily, that's why we're here. Whether it's at an indidual or personal level, at a group level, or at a mass level. Because we all have our indidual karma, or as families ordifferent organi,actions or as countries or nations, we're all here for a reason. So this is something to meditate on this holy week. 🙏

I always applaud the courage of individuals who find that Christ speaks to their humanity. However, I have found serious impacts on the Christian ethos that came from the 60's ethos. There is serious questions about the adverse impact on the church from the influence of the world view that came from the 60's generation - of which I am one.

Great program

Best interview yet.

I LOVE what Greg had to say.

The thing I liked about the movie and what made it stand out was how it dealt with doubt. The latter half was about how change occurred and how people still fail after coming to God. Very poignant.

12min; the church caught up to culture and has adapted to the ways of the World.

The people of Jesus's time didn't fully understand his teachings. He was planting a seed that was to continue to germinate and grow during the last 2000yrs. That's why he tried to explain it in these simple stories or parables. Still at this time when we're in the process of completing the piscean Era and slowly moving towards the Aquarian age most of the world still don't understand his teachings. He was teaching among other things about the soul, it's survival after physical death and the continuation of our evolutionary process by re-incarnating in a different body. When he said you have to be born again of the clay water and spirit he was saying you have to re-incarnate in a physical body which is what we all use as our earthly vehicle and we have the soul which is depicted in the Bible as God's blowing or breathing that life into that body. The human body is mostly a mixture of water and dirt making clay with a soul that is the motor moving it. When he said pick up your cross and follow me he meant you have to take a body, which is the souls cross and reincarnate over and over again, and you die on that cross, we all die on our cross, and no one gets to the father unless you follow him, what he's done.

Very interesting

So as we're in the midst of revelations or judgement times the hippie generation arrived. Remember the Bible says all souls would be raised from the dead to come for judgement or see judgement. The hippies looked like maybe the followers or generation of Jesus's time. They wanted to dress like they did then and live in communist etc. They were the boomer generation, the largest group of souls born on the planet in a group at one time. We ushered in the process of gradually going from the piscean to the Aquarian age! Aquarius! Let the sunshine 🌞 in!

Guess what religion the King of the Jews taught.. John 19:21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am" the King of the Jews.” ’ ” John 4:21-24 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Romans 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

I appreciate Andrew bringing up Lonnie Frisbee's sexuality. While I know Wikipedia is not appropriate as a comprehensive source, I do believe that it can be a good starting point, and I'm not sure the indications there jive with Mr. Laurie's defense of Mr. Frisbee and his depiction in the film. Also, it doesn't seem that Chuck Smith was quite as orthodox in reality as he appeared in the film. Anyway, I know that filmmakers tweak things to make films more compelling. In any case, though, I came away from the film confused. Did anything really happen? It just seemed like the preacher and his congregation became more 'hip' while the hippies were content to listen to christianized rock n roll music. Were their lives changed? Howso? Did they stop being hippies? Is this made clear in the film? Can someone help me to understand?

It was Not just about Christianized music & worship. It was the real thing and thousands would attest to that fact. He is speaking from personal experience as over 50 years ago, Christ burst into his life. Greg says that many things have been said I and written about Lonnie Frisbee that are untrue. I believe Greg. He knew Lonnie. Who better to ask the truth? By the way, God bless you.

its called 'getting closer to death' lol

Jesus didn't make movies about himself to get money

Laurie has gone Hollywood, so,sad

Many believe your guest is a false teacher. The guy who played the hippie actually prayed to Lonnie and he has prayed to other dead people according to his own testimony. Jesus said, " They hate Me and they will hate you" I would be suspicious of anything Christian being praised since Christians are the most hated group in the world with 70 million martyrs. I hope Lonnie was really saved. We all struggle with sin and it is a battle. Anyway, something to be mindful of. I can't disagree with many of the things the pastor said but I would be interested in knowing what he teaches and practices more. After all, people can say anything they want and actors just pretend they're something they are not.
