Hey everybody, you're listening to a new beginning, which is a podcast made possible by Harvest Partners.

If this program has impacted you, I'd love to hear from you.

So just send an email to me at Greg at Harvest.org. Again, it's Greg at Harvest.org.

You can learn more about becoming a Harvest Partner by going to Harvest.org.

Ever wish you could go back and advise your younger self before some of those mistakes were made?

Pastor Greg Laurie has been thinking about that.

Here's what an older Greg would say to a younger Greg.

Just be a nice person. You're a child of God.

Be known for your generosity. Be known for your love.

You're compassionate for your anger.

Be known as a person that builds people up.

Not as a person who tears people down. Be a nice person.

Praise God with the stone.

Again, you get a lonely angel for seeing it.

This is the day the day will last again.

There's a certain wisdom that comes from growing older, from learning some of the lessons of life.

There's even more wisdom that comes when we embrace God's word as our pattern of living.

And today on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie looks to the Bible for practical principles

we can put to use. If you missed some of the principles he's already covered,

we invite you to catch up by listening to the previous two programs online at Harvest.org.

There's good insight coming your way worth taking some notes.

What would I say to a young Greg?
