Jesus Revolution is a 2023 American Christian drama film directed by Jon Erwin and Brent McCorkle. Based on the autobiographical book of the same name co-written by Greg Laurie, the film follows Laurie (Joel Courtney), Christian hippie Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), and pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) as they take part in the Jesus movement in California during the late 1960s. Anna Grace Barlow and Kimberly Williams-Paisley also star.
greg laurie [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Laurie]:
Greg Laurie (born December 10, 1952) is an American evangelical author, pastor and evangelist who serves as the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, based in Riverside, California. He also is the founder of Harvest Crusades. Laurie is also the subject of the 2023 film Jesus Revolution, which tells the story of how he converted to Christianity and got his start in ministry in the midst of the Jesus movement.
Greg Laurie was born in Long Beach, California. He was raised by a single mother married seven times total; they moved often, sometimes to vastly different locations such as New Jersey and Hawaii. He worked as a newspaper boy for the Daily Pilot in Orange County, California. Laurie was not raised in the Christian faith or a church environment. In 1970, when Laurie was 17 years old, he became a devout Christian while attending Newport Harbor High School under the ministry of evangelist Lonnie Frisbee, as the Jesus Movement was exploding in Southern California.
In 1973, at the age of 20, under the mentorship of Calvary Chapel pastor Chuck Smith, Laurie was given the opportunity to lead a Bible study of 30 people in Riverside, California. The group quickly grew in size, and that same year, Laurie founded the Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, where he still serves as senior pastor.
In 1990, Laurie founded the Harvest Crusades, an organization that hosts large-scale evangelistic events around the U.S.
Laurie serves on the board of directors for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. He is also a chaplain for the Newport Beach Police Department. In 2013, Laurie served as the Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. President Donald Trump selected Pastor Laurie as one of several evangelical church leaders to participate in the National Prayer Service hosted at the Washington National Cathedral following the presidential inauguration of 2017.
In 2017, Greg Laurie organized a movement titled “The Year of Good News”. Multiple church leaders signed the letter he penned to initiate the movement. One paragraph of the letter reads, “In a time of fake news, distracting news, divisive news, disorderly news, and, sometimes, depressing news, we—as Christians and as leaders—want to recommit ourselves to making sure that the Good News of Jesus cuts through it all. We call upon Christians in America to make 2017 ‘The Year of Good News.'”
In 2017, Harvest Christian Fellowship became a member of the Southern Baptist Convention, at the request of Laurie, who considered that the latter has important national and international evangelistic programs. The church maintains its ties with Calvary Chapel.
When all California churches were forced temporarily to shut their doors because of COVID-19, Harvest Christian Fellowship and Greg Laurie started the online church program “Harvest at Home”, which swiftly became one of the most-watched internet worship services in America, averaging over 200,000 viewers weekly during the pandemic.
On Palm Sunday 2020, then-president Trump tweeted that he would be watching Harvest at Home, and the webcast saw record viewership that week, with over 1,300,000 people tuning in to watch.
On October 5, 2020, Laurie revealed that he had contracted COVID-19, and released a statement saying, “Unfortunately, the coronavirus has become very politicized. I wish we could all set aside our partisan ideas and pull together to do everything we can to defeat this virus and bring our nation back.”
Harvest at Home continues to be one of the most widely watched online church services in America post-pandemic, with average viewership of over 100,000 in 2023.
Laurie has written more than 70 books, including The Upside-Down Church (1999, co-authored with David Kopp); this book won a Gold Medallion Book Award in the “Christian ministry” category in 2000.
Laurie’s sermons are featured on the syndicated half-hour daily program A New Beginning, broadcast on over 1,100 radio stations worldwide. A New Beginning is also featured as a Christian podcast, available on iTunes.[19] Laurie is also a guest commentator at WorldNetDaily and appears regularly in a weekly television program called GregLaurie.tv on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
In 2018, he published the autobiographical book Jesus Revolution, which was adapted for the cinema in 2023. The film, also titled Jesus Revolution, is produced by Kingdom Story Company and Lionsgate. It depicts the story of how Laurie and his wife Cathe came to faith during the Jesus Movement in Southern California
jesus movement [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_movement]:
The Jesus movement was an evangelical Christian movement which began on the West Coast of the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s and primarily spread throughout North America, Europe, and Central America, before it subsided in the late 1980s. Members of the movement were called Jesus people, or Jesus freaks.
Its predecessor, the charismatic movement, had already been in full swing for about a decade. It involved mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics who testified to having supernatural experiences similar to those recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, especially speaking in tongues. Both of these movements held that they were calling the church back to a more biblical picture of Christianity, in which the gifts of the Spirit would be restored to the Church.
The Jesus movement left a legacy that included the formation of various denominations as well as other Christian organizations, and it also influenced the development of both the contemporary Christian right and Christian left. It was foundational in several ongoing Christian cultural movements, including Jesus music’s impact on contemporary Christian music, and the development of Christian media as a radio and film industry
There has been a long legacy of Christian music connected to the Jesus movement. Jesus music, also known as gospel beat music in the UK, primarily began when street musicians of the late 1960s and early 1970s converted to Christianity. They continued to play the same style of music they had played previously but began to write lyrics with a Christian message. Many music groups developed out of this, and some became leaders within the Jesus movement, most notably Barry McGuire, Love Song, Second Chapter of Acts, All Saved Freak Band, Servant, Petra, Resurrection Band, Phil Keaggy, Paul Clark, Dion DiMucci, Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary; Randy Stonehill, Randy Matthews, Andraé Crouch (and the Disciples), Nancy Honeytree, Keith Green, and Larry Norman. The Joyful Noise Band traveled with a Christian community throughout the U.S. and Europe, performing in festivals held underneath giant tents. In the UK, Malcolm and Alwyn were the most notable agents of the gospel beat.
According to The Jesus People: Old-Time Religion in the Age of Aquarius by Enroth, Ericson, and Peters, Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California founded the first Christian rock labels when he launched the Maranatha! Music label in 1971 as an outlet for the Jesus music bands performing at Calvary worship services. However, in 1970 Larry Norman recorded, produced, and released two albums: Street Level and Born Twice for Randy Stonehill. on his own label, One Way Records.
chuck smith [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Smith_(pastor)]:
Charles Ward “Chuck” Smith (June 25, 1927 – October 3, 2013) was an American pastor who founded the Calvary Chapel movement. Beginning with the 25-person Costa Mesa congregation in 1965, Smith’s influence now extends to “more than 1,000 churches nationwide and hundreds more overseas”,[2] some of which are among the largest churches in the United States. He has been called “one of the most influential figures in modern American Christianity.” The founding of Calvary Chapel is depicted in the 2023 film Jesus Revolution, with Smith being portrayed by Kelsey Grammer.
n March 1968, Smith brought into his home the then-18-year-old pentecostal evangelist Lonnie Frisbee with his wife Connie. Chuck Smith paired him up with John Higgins who already had a Bible study going for youth; they started a Christian commune called “The House of Miracles”. John and Lonnie went out into the community to reach its youth with the gospel during the early days of the Jesus movement.
The Costa Mesa church, led by Smith, grew and as of 2006, was attended by 35,000 people and had spawned over 1,000 churches that have branched out as part of the Calvary Chapel Association. Smith has been called “one of the most influential Christian pastors in Southern California” who “is known for training other prominent ministers.” Notable ministers who have been mentored by Smith include Skip Heitzig, Mike MacIntosh, and Greg Laurie. Smith also launched the radio program, The Word for Today.
At its beginning, Calvary Chapel operated as a cross-cultural missions organization that bridged the “generation gap” as it existed during the Vietnam War period. Calvary Chapel was a hub of the “Jesus People” phenomenon that existed at that time and was featured in Time magazine for its success among “hippies” and young people. Calvary Chapel pioneered a contemporary and less formal approach in its worship and public meetings; for example, it did outreaches on the beach, and baptisms in the Pacific Ocean. Much of contemporary Christian music has its roots in Calvary Chapel worship music. Calvary Chapel’s rolling commentary-style of preaching kept the Calvary Chapels close to the text of the Bible and was readily understandable by many hearers. Calvary Chapel developed its own internal training early for multiplication of church leaders and pastors; by pioneering a more informal and contemporary style in its church practices, Calvary Chapel reached large numbers in Costa Mesa and expanded easily by adding many pastors and new congregations in many locations. The impact of Chuck Smith and Calvary Chapel on evangelical Christianity is profound, widespread, and largely unheralded. Rather than being a teacher of systems and methods of growing large churches (elements of which frustrated him in his denominational experience), Chuck Smith taught his personal brand of leadership at pastors’ conferences which included one single male leader, who held the majority of the power, with a group of elders who served primarily as figure heads to reinforce pastoral authority.

lonnie frisbee [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonnie_Frisbee]:
Lonnie Ray Frisbee (June 6, 1949 – March 12, 1993) was an American Charismatic evangelist in the late 1960s and in the 1970s; he was a self-described “seeing prophet”. He had a hippie appearance. He was notable as a minister and evangelist in the Jesus movement.
Eyewitness accounts of his ministry, documented in the 2007 documentary, Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher portray Frisbee; he became a charismatic spark igniting the rise of Chuck Smith’s Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard Movement. They are two worldwide denominations and among the largest evangelical denominations beginning at that time. Reportedly, “he was not one of the hippie preachers, but rather that “there was one—Frisbee”. His brand of ministry was named power evangelism’. Later he was harshly criticized for his great focus and concentrating heavily on the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit, often by individuals in the same churches which he co-founded.
Frisbee influenced prophetic evangelists including Jonathan Land, Marc Dupont, Jill Austin and several others. Frisbee co-founded the House of Miracles commune and found many converts. The House of Miracles grew into nineteen communal houses; they later moved to Oregon to form Shiloh Youth Revival Centers, the largest and one of the longest-lasting Jesus People communal groups.
Frisbee had an evangelical ministry while privately socializing as a homosexual man, before and during his evangelism career, although in interviews he said that he never believed homosexuality was anything other than sin in the eyes of God. Both denominations he helped found prohibited homosexual behavior, and he was later excommunicated by the denominations because of his active sexual life. They first removed him from leadership positions, and later fired him. He is portrayed by Jonathan Roumie in the 2023 film Jesus Revolution, which highlights his ministry with Chuck Smith and the impact he had on Greg Laurie’s evangelism.
Frisbee was raised in a single-parent home and was exposed to “sketchy, dangerous characters” as a child. His brother claimed Lonnie was raped at the age of eight and documentarian David di Sabatino postulated that an incident like that “fragments your identity.” Lonnie’s father ran off with another woman; Lonnie’s mother tracked down and married the jilted husband.
Lonnie Frisbee showed intense interest in the arts and cooking. He won awards for his paintings and even appeared as a featured dancer on Casey Kasem’s mid-60s TV show Shebang. He exhibited a “bohemian” streak and regularly ran away from home. As a teen he became involved in the drug culture as part of his spiritual quest, and at fifteen he entered Laguna Beach’s homosexual underground scene with a friend. His spotty high school education left him barely able to read and write. At 18 he joined thousands of other flower children and hippies for the Summer of Love in San Francisco in 1967. He described himself as a “nudist-vegetarian-hippie”.
Frisbee’s unofficial evangelism career began as a part of a soul-searching LSD acid-trip as part of a regular “turn on, tune in, drop out” session of getting high. He would often read the Bible while on one a trip. On a pilgrimage with friends to Tahquitz Canyon outside Palm Springs, instead of looking for meaning again in mysticism and the occult, Frisbee started reading the Gospel of John to the group, eventually leading the group to Tahquitz Falls and baptizing them. A later acid-trip in the same area produced “a vision of a vast sea of people crying out to the Lord for salvation, with Frisbee in front preaching the gospel.” His “grand vision of spreading Christianity to the masses” alienated his family and friends. Frisbee moved to San Francisco where he had won a fellowship to the San Francisco Art Academy. He soon met members of Haight-Ashbury’s Living Room mission. At the time he talked about UFOs, practiced hypnotism, and talked about dabbling in occultism and mysticism. When Steve and Sandi Heefner and Ted and Connie Wise first met him, they said he was talking about “Jesus and flying saucers”. Frisbee converted to Christianity and joined their first street Christian community, The Living Room, a storefront coffeehouse commune of four couples in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco started in 1967. He quit the art academy and moved to Novato, California, where the Heefners and Wises set up a commune and later reconnected with his former girlfriend Connie Bremer, whom he then married. The community was soon dubbed The House of Acts after the community of early Christians in the Acts of the Apostles. Frisbee designed a sign to put outside the house, but was informed that if he gave it an official name, it would no longer be considered a mere guest house and would be subject to renovations. The community took the sign down to avoid the financial obligation. Frisbee continued painting detailed oils including several of missions.

At the time of his death, a brain tumor was named as the cause. A source claimed Frisbee contracted AIDS and died from complications associated with the condition in 1993; At his funeral at the Crystal Cathedral, Calvary Chapel’s Chuck Smith eulogized Frisbee as a spiritual son and said he was a Samson-like figure, saying that he was a man through whom God did many great works, but that he was the victim of his own struggles and temptations. Some saw this as further maligning Frisbee’s work and an inappropriate characterization at the service. Others including Frisbee’s friend John Ruttkay, saw the Samson analogy as being spot on, and said so at his funeral. Frisbee was interred in the Crystal Cathedral Memorial Gardens
