*The movie has Greg and Laurie both in high school at the same time, and together finding faith in Christ. In reality, Greg had already left high school by the time Cathe entered (Greg is five years older than Cathe), and did not meet until Cathe started attending Calvary Chapel, where Greg was leading Bible study.

*The movie portrays Greg's mother as not understanding Greg's new-found faith. In reality, his mother grew up in a Christian home, but rebelled in her teenage years (though near the end of her life, she returned to her childhood faith).

Nothing is mentioned about his divorce from his wife, his "open secret" involvement in the homosexual lifestyle (though preaching against it), and that his death at age 43 was due to HIV/AIDS.
