How Pastor Chuck Swindoll Has Clung to Hope

The child who was ignored by his parents was made known to the world because of his humility! ❤❤❤❤❤

I am one minute in and want to cry. Pastor Swindoll is someone who I can always trust his teachings. Especially today, he is so needed.

88 years old, and I would still recognize that voice anywhere :) ! He was a voice of hope during my youth. Beautiful to see him with his lovely daughter. Love the honor. :)

I’m a young pastor in Western NY. Pastor Swindoll has been a constant in my life since I was around 18 years old. I consider him to be one of the most important spiritual mentors in my life. Crazy to think someone I have never met could have such an incredible impact on my ministry. Thank you for posting this!

The fact that he didnt say anything bad against his family and even said he didnt feel any jealousy is such a strong character and Im in tears right now. I have been so blessed by his teachings and now his life! Thank you for sharing this! 🙏

I’m a middle aged black woman from a small town. Pastor Swindoll has been teaching me since my conversion 20 years ago. I appreciate him very much

As I suffer with depression and anxiety, this gives me hope that The Lord can work miracles. He can change hearts and bring healing of every kind of ailment. He makes all things work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

I am 72 years of age. Chuck Swindoll has had a great impact on my life. I accepted Jesus as my Savior in 1970. When I was at Christ For the Nations I had to write a paper on someone who had greatly impacted my life. I wrote it on Chuck Swindoll. I got an excellent grade on the paper and then I sent it to Chuck Swindoll to encourage him. He has continued to impact my life. Someday I hope to meet him in heaven. I am sure there are many crowns waiting for him

What an amazing story. Makes me love and respect this man even more than I have for 40+ years. I didn’t think that was possible. God bless you. What was meant for harm, God used for good. He made you more like Jesus.

We are so thankful to God for Charles Swindoll.

I just finished watching this interview, and I am totally blown away by what I heard. It makes me so sad, to hear of all the abuse that Pastor Swindol suffered, in his growing up years. I have listened to his messages off and on for years. But somehow this all seemed new to me., and my heart goes out to him and his family. I’ve always known he is a man of hope, and his messages have great power and meaning. God be Praised. I love his messages, and his humor is so good. I want you to know I will pray for you. Sometimes we think that these men of God have grown up in a perfect home and all the rest. But then to find out, they have had a tough life, does something to speak to my soul. Thank you so much , and God Bless and keep you.

Dear Pastor Swindoll, you were so instrumental in my Christian growth in the 80s. I listened to my Chuck friends (you, Colson, Stanley, and James (Dobson), & Greg (Laurie). My daily lifeline. I've always loved your laughter. Thank you. You've got it!!

You showed me the love of a man for his family you taught me much for which I will all ways be grateful for . Cake yes I can relate , know me, picking on my speak , oh yes I THANK GOD FOR YOU AS THE TEARS FULL MY EYES WITH GRATITUDE FOR YOU. Thank you yes I love you and your family that shaped me in the word ofGod and yes I so loved you for showing me God’s word and Jesus to.❤

Ministry doesn't require brilliance but discipline

Pastor Swindoll has blessed me since 1981. I bought all of his books and study guides. It is because of him I had a Pastorate of 20 years and currently 45 years in Ministry. A mighty Oak of man and a solid Prince of the Church.

I’m just listening to this in April 2024. What a precious interview from a daughter who obviously loves her “Daddy,” although knowing how important he became to so many people through the grace of God❤️

I'm a 30-something year old guy from SoCal. Pastor Chuck has always brought warmth and a sense of comfort in messages whenever I have heard this over the radio, TV or internet. Such a gift from God to help minister to countless people.

That magic voice that I was first introduced to in 1988 when I was the lonely wife of a sailor; that voice saved me from the hardships of being a sailor's wife with two small children; over the years, that voice still comforts me. Thank you for your wonderful gift, Pastor Chuck.

God turned a humble man into a faithful giant. And oh, that magnificent, contagious laughter! May God continue to smile upon you, Pastor Swindoll. Thank you for your integrity and example.

God was orchestrating your life from that “mistaken”conception! All along He had a plan to mold you into the image of Jesus! It makes me think of Joseph: rejected by his family but destined for the salvation of many! Your ministry has changed the lives of millions! And the Your ministry has blessed millions!
