Greg Laurie: Billy Graham's crisis of faith – how one moment of doubt solidified his commitment to God

"Can the Bible be trusted completely?" Billy secretly wondered. Thus began an intensive study of the question, with Billy soaking in the writings of theologians and scholars on all sides of the issue as well as the Bible.

One was Billy Graham, a modern-day prophet who led a remarkable Christian life and is considered by many as the greatest evangelist of all time. The other was a Canadian man named Charles "Chuck" Templeton, who sadly, time has mostly forgotten.  He finally dropped to his knees in prayer and decided that the Bible was God’s inspired word, and he would accept every word by faith. In the late 1940s, the two were barnstorming evangelists for Youth for Christ, an international Christian movement. They traveled the world together, filling auditoriums, halls and even football stadiums, preaching to thousands looking for hope. Many thought Templeton – not Graham – was the one who was going to overturn the world with the Gospel.
