Greg Laurie, pastor of the California-based megachurch Harvest Christian Fellowship, addressed his personal relationship with Dobson and the role that his advocacy had on his own career in Christian ministry.

In a statement posted to Facebook Thursday, Laurie explained how Dobson's "unwavering commitment to ministry and his tireless work through Focus on the Family have had a profound impact on countless lives, including Harvest Ministries."

"For decades, he was a trusted voice, providing biblical wisdom and guidance on marriage, parenting, and a Christ-centered life. Dr. Dobson's ministry was a powerful influence on me personally, and his work has been a consistent encouragement to the overall ministry of Harvest. His legacy of standing for truth in a culture that often strays from God's design will continue to inspire us. We are so grateful for his life and the example he set."

"While we mourn his loss, we celebrate that he is now in the presence of the Lord he so faithfully served," Laurie concluded.
