Chuck is so very precious. May I love the Lord this deeoly.❤ Worthy is the Lamb!❤

I’d love to hear his wife tell her story

Amen!❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this.

I don’t have children but I have had bouts with addiction, especially with alcohol. Miraculously, I have been sober since 2005. This episode is informative for me mainly because I recently lived in a city where addicts GOVERN the streets. And I did NOT do well with dealing with the addicts I encountered despite having my own addiction issues. The conversation is reminding me of the great steps and wisdom I heard so many years ago: first step - being powerless; this is a great reminder. Now you all are discussing the Serenity Prayer and “one day at a time.” These principles can be adapted into my life NOW as a need to be sober minded when living life on life’s terms. Great stuff.

Thank you for sharing these conversations. This fatherless adult child feels as if I am sitting with my imaginary dad as he passes on his lived and tried wisdom.❤

Beautiful!!!

Chuck Swindoll, we hear your heart. God knows your heart. Bless you. Bless the Lord. Hallalujah.

I love Paws and Tales.

God's provision has no end. "Ask". keep on asking........trusting. believing.

thankyou Jesus, for the crushing. Bless your children; your family.

that women who said to the young man: "you're not our type"......she's right.......she's in a different realm.......I hope Jesus doesn't have to say to her: "I never knew you". Bless the former prisoner who is thankful for Jesus. Amen.

Jesus is everywhere. HE IS.

thank God for this man's willingness to share his wisdom with us.

A person with depth is a rare thing to find ................ in my realm..............but, God knows............there must be somebody around here......................

Growing up at EVFree, mentorship marked much of the time. It made such an impact on my life. Some of those mentors that began with me at age 12 have continued to richly bless my life over the last 30+ years. Pastor Chuck has put these values on display for such a long time. In transferring those values to new people in new places have been some of the deepest joys God has blessed me with in my life and time with others. It is a scarce commodity in so much of our world. Thanks for sharing with your dad, Colleen! Very encouraging!

I had to wonderful christain older women in my late 40s they were like spirtal mothers my mother wasn't saved until upon her death . After that even though I was saved many years but never had the word come alive until I shared in studies in the word line upon line perception upon perception my spirt was open the eyes of my heart opened to understand The truth . I learned to admire these older devote Woman who loved and walked the walk of there talk !!! They were over 50 '60 years of there faithfulness to live a Christian life by example . I'm blessed and God's love for me put them in my life both were friend counselors mentor teachers and I love the word it is my life Thsnk you Jesus for putting them in my life . Thank you we all need decipled disoplied one of christ . Accountability is a must speaking the truth in love . True frees us . Who the son sets free is free indeed.

I have listened to Pastor Chuck for many years . I too have appreciated his ministry through all his stages - young, middle age, and now Senior! Thank you Pastor Chuck!

9/12/14 Dear Chuck, Of all your videos I could have picked this morning I chose, "How Pastor Chuck Swindoll Has Clung to Hope," I identify with so much that you have shared. I grew up in an alcoholic family, and I knew I was not wanted or loved by my mother. She didn't really love her other children, but she clearly hated me. She would always tell me, "Your father didn't want you," and "You were captured, not born." I never knew what she actually meant but I know it was painful. In my early thirties my two year old daughter was battling cancer, Wilms tumor, a childhood kidney cancer. Between my mother's hatred of me, and my daughter's cancer it was hard to believe Jesus was a loving God. I did go to church after my daughter's treatment of chemo was over, but did not want anybody to know of my unbelief. My Pastor was wonderful, and the Lord used his last five years of ministry to teach me about His wonderful Love and I found the Hope in the midst of all I had been through. During those difficult times of learning of God's love for me entered Chuck Swindoll with all your tape ministries. I don't know how I found you but I couldn't get enough of your tapes. I listened to each one of them over and over. You taught me so much about the Bible. I wrote so much in the margin of my Bible of words of wisdom you taught me. I taught a Christian Twelve Step Recovery for ten years to undo all the pain and trauma I went through in my alcoholic childhood. It wasn't until I was 67 that the Lord brought a wonderful counselor into my life to understand the trauma I went through from birth to ten years of age. The Lord revealed to me that my grandfather was actually my biological father. It was the key to understanding my mother's hate for me. My grandfather, my father was an evil man and the abuse he put me through is all throughout the Old Testament. The "High Places" on the hill haven't been destroyed. Many children and babies are still sacrificed in their evil practices. I became a multiple personality with over twenty personalities that carried the horrific trauma. I am grateful today for the Lord's healing of my life and all the trauma I have been through. Just know you played a very important part of my life with your videos which drew me closer to my Savior and Lord over forty years ago. I will be 78 in December, and the Lord is faithful. God bless you in your remaining years, you have blessed countless people you don't even know about. Love, Sharon

Ive listend to Chuck as long as I can remember, his lessons have always been a blessing and exposed much needed conviction. Thank you for posting this, Im so greatful to have such a humble individual who would preach the word of God.

It’s nice to enjoy listening to this program with you and your daughter. Pastor, I attended your Church in the 80’s Brea, California, E.V.Free 😁 Good topic, I read your Daily Devotional online… My God continue to bless you Pastor and your family… My Love and prayers extend out to you!

I have listened to Pastor Swindoll since the 1970. He has and continues to be a blessing and a mentor to me. What an awesome and moving interview. I have sent the interview to my closest friends and family of believers. God’s grace & riches blessings.

What a beautiful talk between the two of you. ❤ Thank you so much for talking about this topic. I have tried to raise the question of mentorship in churches I've attended, or became a member. When I asked about anyone available or if there was some kind of mentorship available, every church leader said they don't do anything like that. I always thought there was something deeper to having a mentor relationship. You have clarified the difference & deeper connection & guidance with a mentor relationship & I will just keep praying for God to help me find that mentoring relationship. Thank you again for sharing this & discussing this topic.❤

I love this - and the authenticity that shrouds this interview. Decades ago, my dad came home from his church group with a pamphlet about a cruise to the Caribbean - Insight for Living - I had never heard of IFL or Chuck. I don’t recall if my dad invited me to join he and his friends on the cruise - he may have wanted a break ha ! So we committed to go ! A week later my dad brought home a book - ‘Improving Your Serve’ by Chuck…he said that if he were going to spend 10-days on a cruise ship with Chuck, he should know something about him. I read the book and was captivated - you mean you can be a Christ-Follower and laugh ? ! My dad said - “Well he teaches at a church in Fullerton” - So I visited, and the rest is [cliche] history. I loved Chuck’s humility, and that he truly did not want the attention and spotlight - at times we would jump on his Harley AKA The Hog, and grab tortilla soup and a burger at a [Chuckism] local joint - inevitably someone would recognize him, and the first thing he would say to them is “Meet my friend ____” in an effort to deflect attention away from him to me. I cherish the friendship and memories to this day ! RSA: Read, Study, Apply 🎚️ 📖 🙏🏻

Yes, carol, "great is thy faithfulness". My favorite hymn. Has meant so much.

A life experience hit me so hard years ago. Totally shocking, changed my life. Carol's story and testimony and book called a new kind of normal really helped me. Carol is amazing. God has seen her through and made a message of the "mess" and she is so inspiring . I saw her before at women of faith conference.❤

I went to brothern school in Whittier, we were in the same class. I listened to your dad on line and even worked on his car at my dad’s shop ( Andrews and Boyd) I’ll always remember how interested he was in me as we spoke. I aslways thought that you must have had it all together and an easy life. I don’t know why. You have opened my eyes on how to handle troubles and offense. Pray constantly, be still , let the holy spirit lead and comfort. Love your work

Colleen, thank you so much for interviewing your Dad! He has so much wisdom and it’s wonderful to feel up close and personal with him. Looking forward to having him back in the pulpit in a few weeks!

I remember listening to pastor Swindoll on the radio everyday when I first moved to Florida. He changed my heart about learning about Jesus. I am grateful for his ministry and dedication to God. I feel one day God will say well done good and faithful servant. Thank you pastor Chuck Swindoll.

Thank you, Sharing

Love You Jesus Christ for ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ME.

WORTHY is the Lamb! Thank you so very much for this sharing time. I came yo know Jesus at age 52 thru Pastor Chucks Insight for Living. I would later attend his live service on Sundays. I am now 61 and my life has been transformed thru Jesus. Chuck and Coleen your realness and vulnerability to share thru all of your outlets has meant so much to me and the lives of so many close to me. Pastor I will be so excited to meet you one day.

Listening from 12-14 August 2024, 2 days to Salah! Zambia 🇿🇲

Pastor Chuck, I'm an avid listener from Zambia 🇿🇲 since I heard your authoritative voice on a alarm clock radio in a hotel in DC 2014. I enjoy how you dramatize The Word, such a magnetic effect. You should do a Broadway show and musical, your mentor would love that. I agree, you're a natural. I thought to say, by the time your sight is running away, technology has upped it's game and you can still reference your Book and books, He is still providing for you. Thank you so much for doing His work unto His glory, you have mentored me that way. God blesses you.

This message is for Chuck & his family > concerning my interaction with "Lucy" Swindall. During a crushing > challanging personal> time in my life I met her. We talked privately & my problem as a woman of faith was part of hers too. Being a single woman & mom > but highly functioning both in my Job & in the community Lucy & I shared. I had told her she must bring forward the Women of faith as Single women have daily deep struggles that must be addressed by Women of Faith - because these single moms & women are sadly leaving the church in droves with their children because their issues & they are being ignored in the churches. She looked at me square in the face - saying, Debi, I realize your telling me this because I am the single not married one in Women of Faith & your holding me as the torch berrier to make changes on these issues. But I have to admit this issue has been a struggle for me personally. To address, in the ways your suggesting it should be. I need you to pray for me to be stronger in bringing these issues more into the spotlight & give women like you a voice. I will share this with the women & we will start all gathering the stories & truths & struggles it all means." she hugged me & we both had tears in our eyes. Just for that moment > was great healing inside of me. Loved Lucy so much. ❤️ I too live best thru my hardest path with music like she held on to life best by. 😉

Thank you I needed this. My mom passed away June 2, 2024. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2021 so we were in the height of COVID. The medical professionals were so kind to allow us to be together even though there were restrictions of how many people in a room. They even allowed me to stay overnight in the hospital and at times the doctors would sneak us in their office so we could be with her. The grace of God was with us. Just like her mom, many people around the world were praying for my mom and asking God for a miracle and saying God can show himself might through her healing. I even question why he took their my and kept my mom. In his time is all I can say. I had questions and the answer isn’t clear yet, but I’m praying through my loss.

My heart is touched. I mentor young moms and he has given me so much insight into how to do it better. The grinding leaves dust that can be shared. Thank you. Your dad has meant so much for so many years. He spoke at couples conferences that I attended over 45 years ago. I learned so much.

HOW VERY BEAUTIFUL….GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Im 53 years old and as long as i can remember i have grown under the teachings and now both of your wisdom…. So grateful for your family. My husband came to Christ while on probation listening to Pastor Chuck and now we live and try to love others overseas

What a blessing to listen to Pastor Chuck in his senior years. His books have blessed and guided me over the years. I’ll be 90 next year and he still blesses my heart.

The first time I heard him say the world needs deeper people, I was shocked. I have been shamed all my life as weird by my given family because I think deeply. Pathetic is their word for me. Maybe I do fit on earth, maybe there are people like me, deep thinkers

I am so happy listening to both of you this evening. Praise God! I needed to hear a good podcast. Thank you❣🙏 I have often questioned Thomas's doubt. Now I feel OK about questioning it.

What an amazing memory! He rattles off names and places so easily! I'm thankful for the impact of his ministry in my life.

Thank you, such a privileged I had listening to the two of you! Thank you ❤

What a wonderful blessing to have Pastor Chuck as a caring Grandfather!❤🙏🏻

I don’t understand; are you saying the reason people are depressed is because they are harboring unforgiveness in their hearts?

So blessed to hear this interview. It was just today i said i was going to look up Chuck Swindoll to hear what he say about the I Ams of Christ. Isnt God awesome! God prepared you for such a time as this. God had plans for you. Be blessed.

Such a beautiful testimony - our “churches” are programmed and so are many people- but Jesus already defeated it and His full judgment is coming

Heaven communicates through revelation, the world we live in (can be good or evil) communicates through repetition, and evil communicates through trauma.

MY confusion, however…….Job ended up having MORE children, yes, but HOW DO YOU GET OVER…… LOSING THE FIRST 10 KIDS ? How do you RECOVER from THAT ?
