His writings have been commended worldwide, as evident by the fact that his writings have been bought and read by more than a million book readers. Greg's special characteristic that distinguishes him from others is his enthusiasm; he speaks and writes with passion.
To carry out his cause, Greg launched a website in 2003 to assist Christian pastors by equipping them with networks and resources.

His passion for helping people has been noticed by credible institutions and organizations. His advice has been featured in Forbes, and his specializations include hospitality, leadership, and worship. He is also an active member and a contributor to the Forbes Coaching Council.
He has had his fair share of difficulties along his way too. He went public with his firing from Forest Park Baptist Church in Carthage, Mo. This was due to him confessing to the lead pastor that he suffered from some mental health issues. This was due to insurance disputes of the company with the staff, which forced Greg to move to North Carolina to another church.
It was a difficult time for Greg and his family, as he later disclosed. Although this transition helped him in becoming a consultant to churches, he was worried at the time that going public with his diagnosis could result in his career going downhill as the church regularly fires people after they disclose their mental health concerns. But Greg believed in his abilities, and he knew how to bounce back and overcome this challenge, so he did. Greg always believed that there is nothing you cannot achieve with faith and prayers. To inspire, Greg shared some words of wisdom acknowledging his transformation; he said, “Prayer changes us. It’s a dialogue and conversation with God. As we spend time with God, we realize just how much He loves us and that love transforms us.”
