Popular evangelist and Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Crusade Ministries announced that Howard Stern needs a relationship with Jesus Christ if he wants to find true happiness.  The remarks were made during a weekend crusade held as the Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California from August 12-August 14, 2011.  Howard Stern recently joined Casey Anthony and Nadya Suleman (Octomom) and O.J. Simpson on a recent list of America’s Most Hated celebrities.  The poll was issued by E-Poll’s E-Source Celebrity. 

The Christian Post writes that Laurie learned of Stern’s unhappiness through an interview where Stern was asked, “you control your life now, you are on radio, on TV, you have a beautiful wife, you have succeeded at all of your goals, and you’re paid better than almost anyone…and yet you are not happy.  What would it take to make you happy?”

Stern went on to address that though he has money, a wife and success he wrestles with deep anger.  During Laurie’s address he quoted Howard Stern by answering, “I don’t know; it’s so complicated. I have a lot of anger inside of me. Once in a while I can douse it with some water… but it never goes away. I don’t know how to get rid of it. I just walk around angry. It’s a burden. That’s why I am trying to find balance… That would be beautiful, but I don’t know what it would take.

Speaking in front of a crowd that numbered in the tens of thousands, Greg Laurie spoke directly to Stern. 

“Howard Stern, I know what it would take…”  He continued, “You need a relationship with Jesus Christ.  That’s the answer.”

Laurie also shared his own person struggle with anger and how his walk with God has changed him.

“I used to be an angry young man, until I came into this relationship with God.”
