Actor Dennis Quaid told Pastor Greg Laurie that he has a personal relationship with Jesus, which is a “wonderful feeling,” but he is still learning what that relationship means. Quaid appeared at Laurie’s annual Harvest Crusade, which took place on Saturday, July 20, in Anaheim, California.

“It took me a long time to find out what that [relationship] was,” Quaid said, “and I’m still learning what that is, that’s growing inside of me. But it’s a wonderful feeling to have.” 

“It’s what we’re all lookin’ for, that feeling, that hole that gets filled up with the Word,” he added. “That’s what it is. And I can feel right now, in this big stadium—I mean can’t you feel the Holy Spirit, right here, right now?” he asked the crowd, reiterating, “Right here and right now.”

Dennis Quaid: Being a Christian Is ‘Part of Me’

Greg Laurie is the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship and the founder of Harvest Crusades, which began in 1990 and which upwards of 11 million people have attended either in person or online. The purpose of Harvest Crusades, according to Harvest’s website, is to “create a welcoming environment to share the life-changing message of the gospel.” 

Harvest Crusades “feature music from top Christian artists, special guests, and a culturally relevant and biblically sound gospel message from Pastor Greg Laurie, including an invitation to accept Jesus Christ.” 

In a video update about Saturday’s event, Laurie said, “Many feel it may have been the greatest of our Crusades in our 35 year history. I would say I would tend to agree.” Harvest reported that 50,000 people attended the event in person, 200,000 watched online, and 5,000 made professions of faith in Jesus.

Dennis Quaid spoke to Laurie for a few minutes during the event. Quaid is an actor and musician known for his roles in “The Right Stuff,” “Innerspace,” “Frequency,” “The Parent Trap,” and “I Can Only Imagine.” Last year, he released a new album titled, “Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners.” When he joined Laurie in front of the crowd at Harvest 2024, he said, “My name is Dennis Quaid, and I’m a Christian.”
