Only and I mean only Christ can truly change a person's life. Mankind will fail us over and over but not Christ. :)

Rick Warren is a false teacher.

@@kristaharmon7584 I think that's the meaning that the comment conveys, obviously Rick is not the ultimate change agent here he was used by God to change this person's life.

Dear Rick, I'm sorry for what you went through but thanks a lot for opening your heart, being brave and allowing us to also be healed through your testimony and the testimony of your son! I know you made it through only because you have Jesus and He dried your tears and gave you hope! Bless you!

Thank you pastor Rick for saying... let the "grief out" I'm grieving of my cousin's death for the last 5 month. The pain seems newer every day so far... he was only 17 years old when he died playing basketball in his backyard with his friends!! Just so hard to accept the tragedy to all his family, mostly his mom & dad are the one who are heart broken in to pecies beyond words can describe. I doubted if they can be normal again to go forward with their lives!! But, I believe God's grace & your prayers might let ease their excruciating pains & grieves!! Loved the interview & helpful to all of us who are grieving

Wow what a fantastic interview with Pastor Rick. I attended Saddleback for many years before moving and one thing that always left me amazed was his deep love. As I would leave the service he always has a smile and a hand shake. My heart still grieves for him and Kay with loss of Matthew. I continue to pray for them still. I am a new subscriber! Thank you for the genuine content. I’m also praying for the gentleman who lost his wife. I’m so sorry for your loss. May God bring you comfort as you grieve. 💜

That was SO meaningful and powerful! Thank you Carey and David for hosting, and Pastor Rick for sharing. The video is perhaps mis-titled.....if you are dealing with loss, you will be greatly blessed by the last very 30 minutes as Rick and David share about their loss. I was very moved by that. But the first hour could have been more accurately titled "Pandemic Leadership Lessons" with tons of hard-won front line lessons shared by Pastor Rick that I wish every pastor in America could hear - so inspiring, so practical, so hopeful and helpful.

[@joycespence6784]

I love Rick and Kay Warren’s transparency about how they were able to emotionally navigate their son’s passing. His daily emails helped me walk through the passing of my 2 adult sons, about 2 years apart. I believe his pure heart, humility and generosity is why God could entrust Rick Warren with his gifts, talents, abilities, and multiplied thousands of congregants. How many pastors do you know that wrote a bestseller (Purpose Driven Life), and paid his church back, every red cent he had ever been paid in salary? Man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart.

This is the first time I’ve actually disagreed with Pastor Rick. I believe that to remain a Christian nation we need Christian leadership. Forefathers would be rolling over in their graves if they saw what we did to this nation. We were truly made to be one nation under God and I believe God put this nation together as he used a forefathers to stand strong

[@thirdparsonage]

I like Rick Warren, and I do think he's right that laws don't change hearts. And many people have actually gotten their identity in politics. But if we think Wilberforce did something good, that would seem to indicate that much good has been done by passing laws.

[@samuelhcolon9467]

[@paritroyanna9359]

We are NOT a racist country even thought there are always going to be racism. Media perpetuates this day in and out and that's not healthy for a nation. We need to unite as a christians and stop this lie from growing more and more. I'm not an American but I need you all to know this is the only country in the world that anyone would have the opportunity to live a truly prosperous life because we all choose how we want to conduct our lives. This is important for the church to remember. It's every church's responsibility to make people understand that even though this is not a perfect country, this is the best we got. Stop hating America and show it for what it is. You'll never be able to make all people not be racist. Believe me when I say this is the LEAST racist country in the world. Media tells us otherwise everyday and as Christians we have to give another message. Tell the truth and truth will set you free. You keep saying this is a racist country then you'll make racism way worse. We need to love one another. If Martin Luther King was alive today he would be cancelled because his message was way different than the message we're hearing today. This needs to change and we Christians have to come together if we want to change the world.
