Some people say this is the end of an era.
There are others that say this is the beginning of something new.
Maybe you could help explain it.
It's not something to explain.
It's something to be experienced.
What you're seeing is a symbol of new life.
Every regret, every doubt, all washed away forever.

You know, people are calling this God's Forever Family.

Is that what this is to you? Family?
I don't know. I don't...
really know what a family feels like.

[ON TV] Anti-war demonstrators protest
US involvement in the Vietnam War
in mass marches, rallies and demonstrations.
...without any bell-bottoms,
reporting live from San Francisco,
the self-proclaimed hippie capital of the world
where hundreds of thousands of youths
have descended to join this growing youth movement.
The words peace and love are used by them often.
These kids call themselves hippies
and represent a new form of rebellion against the status quo
- and the so-called materialism of their parents.
Gregory. - Their message to the world,
"Turn on, tune in and drop out."
♪ I just want to celebrate yeah, yeah
♪ Another day of living, yeah

We can't relate to our families.
Our fathers are always at work.
So you finally turn on.
Gregory?
Be back later, Mom.
The hippies present a social dilemma.
The clothes they wear,
the way they preach love as opposed to hate,
peace as opposed to war.
These beliefs set them up as rebels
against a materialistic, square, old-fashioned society.
Everywhere young people were turning on,
dropping out.
The hippies, pot, speed, acid.
Alcohol seemed to take a back seat.
You guys stare at that thing like the world is ending.
I think the world is ending.
Well, I think what they're doing is kinda beautiful.
Honey?
Are you doing drugs?
No, Mom, I'm not doing drugs.
Please stop asking.
Look, what I'm saying is that they want peace and love.
Isn't that the same thing you want?
I think these kids need help.
What they need is a bath.
I don't know if they can be helped.
See, and there's the problem.
You're passing judgement on people you know nothing about.
You've never even met a hippie.
Thought they didn't talk to squares.
Didn't you say I'm square?
Dad, you are the very definition of a square.
I'll tell you what, when God walks in here, brings me a hippie,
I'll ask him what it's all about, because I do not understand.
Maybe that's why your church is so empty.
Where are you going?
To do drugs.

What, are you a narc?
What?
Are you working for the feds?
I'm kidding with you, man.
I'm Charlie. Nice to meet you, man.
- I'm Greg. - Look at you, Greg.
Shiny, sir.
- Okay.
What are you looking at?
Let me guess. Yep.
- You want me to call her over here? - No, no, no...
She's a good friend of mine, man. She's not...
No, don't do that. It's okay.
- Hey, Cathe! - No, no, no! I said no.
Come here!
I think there's a guy who wants to meet you.
He's a little strange, but go easy on him.
Okay.
Hey, square.
I am not a square.
Sorry. You dress like one.
This is Greg.
And he's gonna be comin' to school here.
Um, actually, I can't come to school here.
Can't?
You can do whatever you want.
You know that, right?
Maybe you can't actually, soldier.
What? This? No. No, no, no, no, no.
- This is not my idea. This is my mom's idea. - Oh.
She thinks the academy will "expand my opportunities."
See, I would rather expand my mind.
Give me a break. You're in high school.
All they teach is propaganda and lies.
Okay. What if...
What if there is no truth?
What if it's all just different points of view?
Did you just quote Allen Ginsberg?
Yeah. What?
You read Ginsberg?
Yeah. Some.
But you know what? I actually disagree with him on that.
Some things are absolutely true.
Yeah? Like what?
I don't know. Haven't found them yet.
But at least now we're asking the right questions.
Huh?
Charlie.
Think we should invite Greg this weekend.
What's this weekend?
It's The Happening.
It's only the largest gathering of truth-tellers
- in Southern Cal.
Dude, Timothy Leary,
the prophet himself is gonna be there.
- The Grateful Dead's coming. - Janis Joplin...
Janis Joplin's coming, man.
It's all happening.
So...
are you in?
This is the part when you say yes.
Yes.
Yes, of course, I'll be there. Of course.
Okay.
Well, then uh...
pick you up tomorrow.
Bye, Greg.
See you later, Greg.
This generation, lost, aimless.
Scripture tells us that without a vision,
people perish.
In Hebrew, the word means...
to cast off restraint.
And isn't that what we're witnessing today?
A generation without restraint.
That's right.
Cast off authority.
Cast off tradition.
Cast off morals.
Cast off God.
These...
are the headlines of our time.
Is this our future?
It seems as if we may be at the end already.
But as Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, said
"He who endures till the end shall be saved."
Amen.

Spreading the good news to whoever wants to hear it.
How about you, Janette?
Do you know about the way, the truth and the life?
You've got to meet my dad.

Would you mind just, uh,

Not at all. Frisbee. Lonnie Frisbee.
Frisbee.
Thank you.
You got any sugar, by any chance?
What is going on?
You said you wanted God to send you a hippie.
I said that, but I did not mean it.
Dad, I am telling you, there is something about this guy.
We talked all night.
He pretty much
You spent the night with him?
He could be an axe murderer.
Anyone could be an axe murderer.
Look, just listen for 10 minutes,
and if you think he's crazy, I'll throw him out myself.

It's so great to meet you.

Oh, I love French toast.

How we doing, Southern California?

- Yeah! - She's amazing!
I know, right?
We love you, Janis Joplin!
So, uh...
Tell me about yourself, Lonnie,
and your uh...
people.
My people.
I like the sound of that.
You know, it reminds me of the words of Jesus.
"To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation?
"What are they like?"
I was up in San Francisco for a long time.
Living in Haight-Ashbury, on the streets, all over.
And we did everything, and everyone.
But that was the point.
You see,
the drugs,
it's a quest.
For what?
For God.
How can you not see that?
There is an entire generation right now searching for God.
Everyone is accepted here.
We love each other freely
and without discrimination.
There are no facades.
No lies.
No masks.
Just a relentless pursuit of the truth
by those who have expanded their consciousness.
Man, we thought acid was gonna save the world.
- Thank you. Mm-hmm.
Thanks, Mom.
But that was a lie.
As much of a lie as what we were rebelling against.
And what brought you to that realization?
I kept searching and searching,
and I just finally got to the end of it.
And there was still a void.
And my people,
well, they're a desperate bunch.
And "desperation",
man, there is power in that word.
What would it take for you, Chuck Smith, to be desperate?
The psychedelic experience
is a confrontation with the divine.
It's a spiritual awakening.
And you come back and you define God
the best you can.
So, turn on, tune in,
- and drop out.
Start a new sequence of behavior
that matches your vision.
Be reborn.
Free Orange Sunrise!
Lick the tab. Set your minds free.
We gotta get one.
Janette tells me you're a pastor.
Yes.
Currently.
I know we must seem pretty strange.
But if you look a little deeper,
if you look with love, you'll see a bunch of kids
that are searching for all the right things
just in all the wrong places.
So, to answer your question,
how do I describe my people?
They're sheep without a shepherd
chasing hard after lies.
And the trouble is, your people reject them.
So, I ask you, Pastor,
"How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?"
We can only walk through doors open to us.
And your church,
well,
that's a door that's shut.

And Jesus took a cup and said,
"This cup represents my blood

"to take away the sins of the world."
Yes, for my sins!

Thank you for shedding your blood for us,
which cleanses us from all our sins.
Amen.

You've probably noticed
we have some guests here today.
I'd like you to meet my new friend,
Lonnie Frisbee,
and some of his friends.
Welcome.
See, Lonnie's been up in San Francisco
where the Lord has been doing some pretty amazing things.
And I'd like him to tell you about them.
Lonnie. Please?
Lonnie! Yes! Lonnie!
Go, Lonnie! Yeah!
Thanks, Chuck.
- Welcome. - Thank you.
He's not wearing any shoes.
That's all right, honey. That's okay.
We'll get him some shoes later.
Well, I'm Lonnie.
Uh, people tell me I'm tryin'
to look like Jesus or something
and I tell them
I can't think of anybody else I'd rather look like.
I was reading in the Book of Acts,
and I think it kind of explains
what's going on in Haight-Ashbury.
See, God says,
"I will pour forth my spirit on all mankind.
"And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.
"And your young men shall see visions.
"And your old men shall dream dreams.
"I will, in those days,
"pour forth my spirit."
This is what's going on in San Fran.
And I think it's about to start happening all over.
Everything's about to change, folks,
whether you're ready for it or not.
You can't run from it. You can't hide from it.
It's coming for you.
It's coming for all of you.
And your children too.
It's exciting, right?
Okay, Chuck.
You wanna grow the congregation,
I understand that.
But that?
This is not it.
They don't belong here.
Agreed?
Warhol isn't real art.
He just holds up a mirror.
The emptiness, you know, the materialism
The religion of celebrity.
Dig it, man.
It's like you say everything that I'm thinking.
It's 'cause cats
like Warhol, you know, it's what they effectuate.
It's the change
that they cause, and they inspire for other artists.
See what happens 'cause without Warhol,
there's no Sergeant Pepper's,
there's no Velvet Underground.
The Doors.
Doors. There's no Doors.
And once art changes,
then everything changes.
I mean, give me a break. Nothing ever changes
Anyone who tries just gets shot.
Martin Luther King, and JFK, and now his brother.
Maybe that's our purpose, guys.
We just overthrow everything.
That's what we do.

Please, God.

I don't know what to do. Is there a phone?
Dodie? Dodie?
Turn her over. Turn her over.
Turn her over on her side.
Okay.
So, what did I miss?
Sorry about that.
It was scary. It's like...
That's your dad? Yeah, he's...
Chuck, there's more of them.
- What are you gonna do? - I don't know.
I guess I'm just gonna have to ask them to leave.
Sounds great.

They're used to it. They don't mind.
Wait till you see who's in here.

What are these people doing here?
Met them at a coffee shop in Newport.
Hey, man. Nice house.
What are they doing in my house?
'Cause I had this idea.
If you wanna reach my people,
you need to speak to them in a language they understand.
If I bring them into my church,

Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike.

- What is my problem? - Yeah.

So, no.
No, I don't wanna go with you on your little trip.
Hey.
Get in. It's gonna be fun.
Mom, where are we going?
Sunny California.
Warm weather, beaches. You're gonna love it.
But what about Dad?
Mom, we have to wait for him.
He's not coming back, Greg.
It's what people do. They leave.
So we're moving on.
Oh, no. Come on, Gerger.
Help me out here.
Hey. Hey.
That's the spirit.
These kids are runaways, most of them.
They got drug addictions, medical issues.
And they need our help.
Yeah, but, Chuck...
I mean, they need to go home.
They're making our congregation uncomfortable.
Well, maybe they should be uncomfortable.
Maybe we all should.
Maybe it's my job to make us uncomfortable.
And I haven't been doing it.
Chuck, stop.
This is enough.
This is a house of worship.
And, yes, we expect a certain level of dignity here.
These girls are wearing halter tops,
and half of them aren't even wearing shoes.
They're staining the new shag carpet with their bare feet.
The carpet?
Mmm.
Oh. Yeah, let's be sure to save the carpet.
You keep this up, and you're gonna drive away
the only contributing members that we've got.
You hearing me now?
Loud and clear.
Unlike the individual,
they seize it by one act of violence.
So many voices.
It's hard to hear the truth.
Truth is always quiet.
It's the lies that are loud.
It's complicated.
The truth is simple.
What is going on?
You can put that right over there on that towel.
Give me this other one here. There we go.
I baptize these feet in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
There you go. Welcome to church.
Thank you.
Hello, you. Let's have that foot, please.
This is terrific. There we go.
Okay.
Place them both on that towel, and then step on into church.
- Welcome. Thank you.
Hello, young lady. How are you?
Good. - Let's have that foot.
Let's have that other foot.
Why don't you go sit next to that fella
- in the cantaloupe jacket.
Good to see you.
Thank you. - Enjoy. Welcome to church.
Thank you. - Hello, young lady.
Well, last year, I had the privilege of visiting,
uh, New York City.
And like any other tourist,
I paid a visit to the Statue of Liberty,
and I read those famous words.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
"your huddled masses,
"yearning to breathe free."
And as I read those words, I thought, well, that's
Christianity, isn't it?
I mean, it's the essence of it.
An invitation to the broken.
Jesus was very friendly with the outcasts.
In Revelation 22, it says,
"Let the one who can hear say, 'Come.'
"Let the one who is thirsty come.
"Let the one who desires
"take the waters of life freely."
I want you all to look at me. Uh...
Please.
Every one of you.
This place,
it is yours.
I don't...
I don't care if anybody else thinks so.
If... if you feel like you're an outcast...
then join us here.
If you feel like
you're misunderstood and judged,
this is where you belong.
If you feel ashamed or trapped
in something you've done or are doing,
you will find
forgiveness and freedom...
right here.
No guilt trips.
This is your home.
And I want you to tell all your friends about it.
There is a place for you.
Now that door is open all the time for you.
Any time of day.
And if there are some who don't like that,
well, then, that door is open for you too.
It works both ways.
All right, Pastor. Let's begin.
- Let's begin.
Hey, Chuck.
You're gonna need a bigger church.
Hey, Charlie, slow down, man.
Relax, man.
Charlie, hey, man. Hey, stop swerving, man.
Charlie, slow down, man. Slow down.
- Slow down!
Hey. Charlie. Charlie, man.
Steer right, man! Steer right! Steer right!
- Get off the wheel, man! No, no.
Hey, man.
We're gonna die.
Slow down, man! Slow down!
Slow down! Slow down! Slow down!
You all right back there, man?
Get me out of here!
Get out of the road, man!
I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die.
Hey. Hey. All right. Hey, hey, hey.
It's all right, brother.
I'm dying. I'm gonna die.
That's the drugs lying to you, man.
You're alive. I promise you.
What's your name?
Greg. Greg.
It's all right. It's all right.
I'm Lonnie.
You ran past my house screaming.
And I just followed you.
Just breathe.
Lonnie, be honest with me, man. Are you really here?
Yeah, man, I'm really here.
And I'm gonna sit with you here
as long as it takes, okay?
What are you doing out here? What are you running from?
I don't know.
Hey. Where are you going?
Hey, Greg.
God says you don't have to run anymore.
What's up, man?
Last night was crazy, wasn't it? A little bit.
Ah, yeah, we could've died.
Nah, come on, man.
We're going to live forever, Greggo.
That's the thing, man.
Dexter!
You have some weed of mine.
Man, slave owners, you know,
they were pushing religion onto the slaves that they owned
whose blood and features that I bear.
- Christianity supports... - I'm Greg Laurie.
...property owners in the city.
The police, military...
Oh. Yeah, right, I think I remember you.
- Oh, you do remember? - Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Does that mean you're done ignoring me?
I don't know.
And it's just never been any good.
I've just been figuring some stuff out.
No religion's really good, really.
Yeah.
- You just gotta dig people... - You okay?
- Yeah. Just, uh... ...and dig each other.
...figuring some stuff out.
Now I think the, uh, Satan people wanna talk.
Hail Satan.
So, this is very creepy, and we should leave, right?
- Before he starts sacrificing us.
I'm... I'm waiting to hear someone talk.
That guy, sitting right over there.
Oh, I see.
The Jesus guy.
- Huh. This is a tragedy.
- This is very sad... Thanks, man.
...for me to hear right now, okay? We're losing our girl
to the dark side, and you're not even...
What are you looking at?
That was really far out.
The Magic Bus is leaving in seven minutes, folks.
I'm really glad to be here.
Really, all I got to bring
is what the Bible calls the good news.
So, this is what you've been trying to figure out?
In the Gospel of Matthew...
- Yeah. Mostly. ...Jesus said,
"Come unto me all ye that labor.
- There's this, um, church. "...and are heavy laden...
It's called
- Calvary Chapel. "...and I will give you rest.
"Take my yoke upon you...
You could come.
"...and learn from me, for I am meek...
Why not?
"...and lowly in heart...
We say we're looking for truth.
What if this is true?
"Ye shall find rest unto your souls."
'Cause everything that we've been trying...
There's a lot of heavy stuff happening right now.
...it's not working for me.
Jesus wants you know... And this...
...you don't have to deal with it on your own.
I don't know. It's something I haven't heard before.
It's different.
Let him take it from you.
- Let him help you. - Come on.
Jesus also said,
"Whoever is not with me
"is against me.
"And whoever does not gather with me scatters."
You have to decide
for yourself.
We all have to decide.
♪ These are common words but true
♪ We aren't quite a mountain
♪ But he's moved us here
♪ To you
♪ Accept him with your whole heart
Welcome home.

Jesus Christ willingly
went to the cross,
and he died.
He gave his life.
He became a sacrifice for all of us here
so that we might be forgiven of our sins.
That we might be reborn
of water
and the Spirit.
- That's why we're going down...
...to the ocean this weekend.
So many of you wanna be baptized.
And, well, you look around,
we don't have any more room.
This place is packed even on a Monday night.
So we're going down to the beach,
Saturday afternoon at Pirate's Cove.
Maybe I'll wear my eye patch.
- Arr!
Let's all turn our Bibles now.
John, chapter three.
I need help!
I'm gonna die.
I can't stop. I need help.
No, you're all right, brother. You're all right. It's okay.
- You're all right.
You're safe here.
You're not gonna die.
Not on my watch.
There is hope for you here.
Let's all pray for him. Guys, come on. Help me pray for him.
Heavenly Father, we thank you
for all your loving and gracious gifts
from your Spirit that you send down upon this man right now
to be healed in Jesus' name.
We thank you, Lord.
In the name of Jesus Christ...
Will you just give this a chance?
I don't know, I think it might be real.
That's the problem, Cathe.
Look, I can't...
I just can't be let down again.
What I felt in there, I haven't...
I know.
What if it's another high?
What if it's just another drug, you know?
It's good for a minute, and then it's gone.
What then?
We can find out together.
- Come on. - It's just water.
I'm just saying, what is it gonna prove?
You're right, it's just water. So why are you freaking out?
I'm not freaking out. I'm not freaking out.
Okay, I'm freaking out a little bit.
You're gonna be fine.
Do you fully accept Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Savior?
Yes, I do. - Then I baptize you,
in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Today you are transformed.
Your heart, your soul, your life will never be the same.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
How did that feel? - You'll see.
Hi.
Greg, right?
Yeah.
I have been praying for this moment
since I met first you.
Have you decided?
Um, I... I don't know.
You wanna decide right now?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
Then pray with me.
Lord Jesus,
I know I'm a sinner.
Lord Jesus, I know I'm a sinner.
You are the Savior of the world.
I ask you to come into my life.
I repent for my sins.
I repent for all my sins.
And I accept you as my Lord and Savior, my God, and friend.
And I accept you as my Lord and Savior, my God, and my friend.
In Jesus' name...
- In Jesus' name... - Amen.
Greg, I baptize you
in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
How do you feel?
Alive.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Yeah, so this guy is moving
into the trailer with my mom,
and I have nowhere else to go.
So, you sure it's okay I'm here?
Oh. Yeah, brother. There's plenty of room.
Where did you get this place?
Kay found it,
- and Chuck rented it for us. - Ah.
It's condemned, technically, so it doesn't cost much.
I think, mainly, they wanted us out of their home.
Which I get.
Welcome to paradise, brother.
This is Lance. He used to work for a big marketing firm.
Greg draws too.
That's Bud, Marty, Steven, and Suzie.
They're a bunch of righteous cats.
Lot of artists here. You'll fit right in, brother.
And Janette, Chuck's daughter.
Greg, finally!
And my wife, Connie.
Praise God.
I have heard so much about you.
- Okay. Come on in.
- Make yourself at home. Okay. That's great.
Let's just give him a little space, Connie, okay?
I'm just greeting him, Lonnie.
You're overwhelming him, Connie.
I'm okay.
Don't mind him. He gets irritable.
Connie!
See? Irritable.
Come on up here, Greg.
Voila! Your own room.
Uh, that's not human blood.
We had raccoons.
They're tough little critters.
Don't mind the smell.
Yeah, that will be gone in about a week.
It's perfect.
They're just people, Kay.
Crazy, weirdo, homeless, drug people.
But, yes, just people.
- Hello. - How are you?
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY] Hey. - I can't believe
you're actually doing this.
Me either.
In your name. Amen.
Amen. - All right. Dig in.
Hey. You doing all right?
Yeah, just...

But I feel like if we're gonna do this,
then I wanna do it right.
So I just wanted to tell you that
if you ever get between me and God,
then it's over for us.
That sounded better in my head.
Yeah, it was a little harsh.
Are you finally officially asking me out?
What would you say if I were?
I don't know.
Ask me again.
Hey, Greg.
We have a surprise for you.
Come outside.
Really?
We all pitched in, and we got you a car.
So you don't have to pick up your girlfriend
on a bicycle anymore.
Huh?
She's all yours, brother.
- This is my car?
She is yours.
This is my car?
- Think he likes it. - I do too.
Does it run?
Of course, it runs.
We all prayed over it this morning.
I'm gonna fire it up.
Get in there. - Yeah.
Give it a whirl.
Okay.
Come on, Lord.
It's just a warm-up.
Let's pray over it again, guys.
Heavenly Father,
we just thank you for sending down your Holy Spirit
- into this car, especially...
...engine and the carburetor
that I was assured was just replaced.
- Thank You, Lord.
Thank You. In Jesus' name...
- Amen. Amen.
Lord, we're asking you here, please.
I'm looking bad right now, Lord. Please.
Just give us a little bit of Spirit juice here.
Yeah!
- Yes!
Thank you so much, guys.
I knew it would run.
Eventually.
♪ Who knows what I need?
♪ Who knows what I need but me? ♪
Of course, that would happen.
Is that your car?
It's a piece of junk.
It's amazing.
It's amazing, Greg.
We have a car. Bye, Daddy.
We have a car! He has a car.
What a gentleman.
Thank you.
Sorry. One minute.
It's kind of stuck.
This is great.
Wait, one second.
Okay.
So, what do you wanna do after high school?
I don't know.
I just don't want this to end.
Do you ever worry about that sometimes?
No.
It's not going anywhere.
And neither am I.
What happened next?
Um, the sea raged. They threw him overboard.
The raging stopped. And then...
Whoa. "Raging stopped."
I like that. I'm gonna use that.
Hey.
Could you use your camera to film me?
- Like, your sermon? - Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Right on.
I'm working!
Other people live here too, you know.
So, you're clean?
No cravings at all?
Yeah, man. I'm completely delivered.
But how did that happen?
Man, I just told you.
But that makes no sense.
I know!
Can you believe it?
You know, we were runnin' out of space, so we thought,
"Let's put up this tent
"and maybe in a couple of months, we'd fill it."
And it's full in one day!
Lonnie's gonna preach.
Thank you, Chuck.
So, to bring it all full circle back to Jonah,
are the storms in your life raging?
Do the drugs
no longer quiet the storms?
When Jonah stopped running from God, the raging stopped.
That's my line. He used my line.
I turned to God.
Stopped running.
And when you do,
the raging in your life will just...
...stop.
Like it did in mine.
Of course, you might have to spend a few days
inside a giant, smelly fish.
Um...
Someone here is in pain.
I see you.
You've suffered a long time, haven't you?
Is it drugs?
Yes.
And you've tried so many times to stop,
but it has its grip on you.
Yes.
Sometimes you think the only answer is to end it all.
You even thought about ending it tonight before you came here.
How could you know that?
Stand up with me, dear.
Stand up.
I spent a real long time
in the gutter with my own addictions.
And if God can heal me,
he can heal anyone.
In Jesus' name, you are healed from this addiction.
You, sir,
you're having trouble breathing.
Be healed in Jesus' name.
Breathe freely by the power of the Holy Spirit.
You,
you've been deaf in your left ear since you were born.
God knows you're suffering.
And you are healed.
You,
you outside this tent here.
In California, the beat has changed,
but the message is the same.
More and more these days,
young people are turning away from dangerous drugs
and turning on to Christ instead.
You'll find Jesus people everywhere,
even the Sunset Strip,
walking and rapping about the new religion.
There you go, guys.
I love your outfits.
These are young people who have rejected religious dogma
and dangerous drugs.

They'll stop people on the street

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but...

Great.
All right. Thanks, Pastor Chuck.
Hey again, sorry. Thank you so much.

Thank you.
[ON TV] Welcome back to I Believe in Miracles.
Thousands are gathering every week
to listen to one of the young men
who is central to the new Jesus Movement.
Lonnie Frisbee.
Thousands of people are starting to get saved.
And it's happening right here in my church, Calvary Chapel.
I've really been building it up.
God has chosen himself
some unexpected prophets.
Are you one of those prophets, Lonnie?
Well, I told God to use me, and
he sure is using me.
So I would say,
yes, I think so.
I think so, too, Lonnie.
As the Jesus Movement
continues to work its way
from the Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco
to Southern California,
the question many people are asking
is whether the Jesus people
are a new religious group or a cult?
[ON TV] That's the trouble with Haight-Ashbury.
We need more ministers down there preaching
that these kids can clean up.
I'm tired of these Bob Dylan preachers
who go around the streets
telling these kids that they can have all this and Jesus, too.
They're not preaching the Gospel.
We have a church that is permissive,
total breakdown of discipline...
Riverside? - Disrespect for law and order.
I don't get it. We already have
our own Wednesday night service.
Their church is struggling.
Father Malone is getting a little older.
He's having difficulty reaching the youth.
Well, why don't you do it?
It's a youth service
for teens and 20s.
It's perfect for you.
You're trying to get rid of me.
Come on, Lonnie.
Please, don't get dramatic.
It's one night a week.
And...
there have been some concerns about our methods.
I think it's time we pull back on
the theatrics.
The theatrics?
Is that what you think I do?
- No, not per se. - Theatrics?
Look, I think you're an amazingly gifted man.
I think it's possible you may actually walk
hand in hand with God.
I am so grateful that you came here.
But we have to start paying attention to the idea
that we can control how we're perceived.
What does it matter how we're perceived, Chuck?
Kids are getting saved by the Holy Spirit.
And you can't control the Holy Spirit, man.
But we can control our ministry.
And we must.
I'll cover things here
while you help them there.
No.
No, I don't feel the Lord calling me to that.
Mmm-mmm.
I'll do it.
Yeah, I, uh...
I feel called.
I was just picking up more tracts.
No, that's okay.
Uh, door's always open.
Uh...
Why not, Greg?
Far out. Great.
Okay, thank you.
Problem solved.
You nervous?
No.
Little nervous. Maybe a little nervous.
Definitely a little bit nervous.
You got this.
So, we arranged a guest speaker
for you youngsters tonight.
Well, he's a minister.
He put it here on his coloring book he made for you.
His name is, uh, Greg Laurie.
- So, um...
Come on up.
All right. Hey, everyone. Ooh.
Oh, that's really bright.
Um, thanks for comin' tonight.
Uh, thank you, Father Malone
for that warm introduction.
My name is Greg Laurie,
and I am totally sold out on Jesus. Can you dig it?
Yeah.
Let's get right to it.
You got your Bibles, everybody?
Yes!
All right, well, this is the Word of God.
This is life. Let's open it together.
That was awesome! Mmm-hmm.
Right? It was totally awesome.
It was so good.
And they followed me. It was like they got it.
- Yes. - They got it. It was natural.
- It was so natural. - Right?
Oh, my gosh!
- That was amazing!
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
[ON TV] Okay, Neil, we can see you
coming down the ladder now.
Guys, guys.

one giant leap for mankind.

I think he's okay.

Hello?
Gerger. Hi.
Could you not call me that anymore?
Did you see it?
Yeah. The whole world saw it.
Listen,

I just need you.
I really miss you.
- Mom, I have a new... - Dale left.
They all leave.
Can you please come home?
I am home now, Mom, and I just...
I need to be where I am right now.
But, listen, I've got some good news.
My girlfriend, Cathe,
I'm gonna ask her to marry me, Mom.
- Mom?
Sing for me, Gerger.
Sing.
Not tonight, Mom.
But maybe next time.
How's your steak, Dodie?
I think I wanna be a vegetarian.
So, Greg,
what are your plans now that you graduated?
Dad.
I'm actually, uh, very involved with the church
that Cathe and I are going to.
Hmm. Yeah. Cathe told us about the church.
- Yeah. - And do they pay you at, uh, at this church?
Do they, um... No.
No, they don't, as of now.
- It's more of a, um... - He volunteers.
Yeah, yeah. It's more of a volunteer situation.
But the, uh, the dream
is to actually start my own church one day.
- Yeah, that's the dream. Hmm.
We need more churches, do we, Greg?
- How do you pay the rent? - Dad.
Mom, can you please help?
It's a fair question.
You should really stay for dessert.
They do blood samples and fingerprints.
Oh, Dodie.
Look, Mr. Martin,
I know that you may not approve
of everything that Cathe and I are doing, but
I just think that it may be
because you don't understand it really.
And what I want you to know is that it's real.
It really is.
And I've got plans for my life, sir.
And I just want Cathe to be a part of that.
You're right, Greg. I don't understand it.
And I don't need to,
so long as you understand
that you are never gonna marry my daughter.
Sir, I think that you're prematurely judging me.
Just listen to me for a second.
The answer is no,
and the sooner you accept that, the better, okay?

Now, man, I don't know.
Our country is a dark and divided place.
But in that tent,
there's hope.
And unity and miracles that I can't even explain.
And it's spreading.
It's not just here.
Where, and how far, I'm not sure yet.
That's what I'm gonna find out.
I don't know if any of this is real.
I kind of hope it is, to be honest.
And even if you can't see it right now,
it's a family, man.
Don't give up on it.
It's my advice, anyway.
You take care of yourself, Greg.
Yeah, you too.
Uh, hey, who are you writing this for?
Is this a book or newspaper?
A magazine.
Which one?
Race you to the water. Come on. Let's go!
It's gonna be different now.
You'll see.

Hey.
I don't care about your face, Mom.
Yeah?
How's my hair?
I love you just the way you are.
Why?
I don't want you to end up like me, Greg.
I know that you did your best.
I can do better.
Hey.
We both can.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you about your father.
But, Greg...
your name is no mistake.
I can see it.
Life from death.
Whatever it is you found,
maybe it's real.
It is, Mom.
It really is.
Maybe it can be real for me too.
I love you, Mom.
Oh, boy.
You were out past curfew.
- You okay? - Oh, I'm all right, babe.
I know I've been distracted. I haven't been around a lot.
No, Dad. Stop.
I have something that I wanna say to you.
You see, um...
I was almost done with this
whole Christianity thing.
And I was like,
"Where's the love?" You know?
"What are we even doing here?
"Where is Jesus in all of this?
"He seemed like a radical dude. I'd like him.
"But this? I don't know."
But then you did what nobody else would even dare to do.
You let the hippies in.
Come to find out, Jesus came in with them.
And you know what?
I'm proud of you.
You opened yourself up to something you didn't understand.
And I'm changed because of it.
Thousands of us are.
But you don't have to carry it all, okay?
Don't lose yourself in all of it.
Okay.
Also, don't do drugs.
Thought I might find you here.
Do you mind?
So I recently heard about this little church
up in Riverside.
Pretty near that place where you did that Bible study.
And it seems that their leadership
had an issue about something
and ended splitting up.
They took everything.
They left an empty, abandoned building
where a church used to be.
Seems a shame, doesn't it?
But that's what people do sometimes.
They lose sight of what's important.
Fortunately, God has a long history of using flawed people.
I'm sorry, son.
I didn't stand up for you when I should have.
I was wrong for that.
Thank you.
So, what happened to that church?
Oh, I bought it.
This morning.
It's like an empty canvas.
Seems perfect for an artist like you.
You want me to work there for you?
It's not my church. It's yours.
This movement started at Calvary,
but it can't stay here.
So, go build something great.
I don't know what to say.
Say yes.
Yes.
Pastor Chuck...
I don't think I can ever do what you do.
No.
You'll do better.
Hey, man.
Hey, sorry to bother you.
Is this the beach where people get baptized?
Yeah. Yeah, it is. Pirate's Cove.
Cool.
My friends and I heard about it on the radio
and drove all the way here.
Where from?
Texas.
We wanna get baptized but didn't know how or when...
How about right now?
Amen. Amen.
Good evening, sir.
Um, I know that you don't like me very much and...
She's in the dining room.
Oh.
Okay.
I didn't see that coming.
Go ahead, son.
Hey. Hi.
Hi, Greg.
Hi. Good evening.
Sorry to barge in so late...
I, uh...
I did not know how wet I was until just right now.
And your hardwood floors.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
And you're not wearing any shoes.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not. You're right about that.
But I just gotta tell you something.
I've been really stupid lately.
Obviously, you know that.
I'm sure you've heard.
I am so sorry that I pushed you away.
And I hurt you.
It was so dumb.
It was really dumb.
- Really dumb. - It really was.
The dumbest.
Yeah.
But I wanted to ask you
if you still mean what you said the other day
about what you want
with us.
Because I got really big plans, Cathe.
Hopes and dreams. I've got goals.
And I wanna do it with you.
Together.
You and I.
Because I get you.
I need you.
I want you.
And I...
"Love you"?
Yeah.
Like, a lot.
And so, what? What is this?
Is this your way of proposing to me?
Oh. Um...
Um...
Uh...
What would you say if it was?
I would say...
that if you ever get in the way of me and God
it's over between us.
So,
is that your way of saying yes?
Yes.
You're so wet.
I'm so wet.

He wrote a pretty nice article.
Seems the movement's everywhere.
Los Angeles.
Vegas.
Even in the South.
Alabama, Georgia, Florida.
- It's spreadin' like wildfire.
"Revolution." Wow.
- I like that. Me too.
You know, the first time I saw Josiah,
he asked me if I thought this
was the beginning of something or the end.
Feels to me like the beginning.
Let's see what God has in mind.
The Jesus movement is no longer a California fad.
It's a song-singing, hand-clapping,
full-fledged, old-fashioned revival
that's sweeping the country.
The converts are young people who are turning to Christ
as their personal savior.
Their meetings, for the most part,
are not inside the established churches.
Jesus loves you.
Every last one of you.
I don't care what color you are,
he loves all of you just the same.
More than a quarter million youths
have converged on Dallas,
former hippies among them now known as Jesus freaks.
We're told it could very well be the largest
Christian youth gathering in the history of America.
This is a Christian happening.
It's a demonstration of the love of God
by tens of thousands of young people to the world
that are saying to the world, "God loves you."
It's the Jesus Revolution
that is going on in this country.
