Charles R. Swindoll has devoted his life to the accurate, practical teaching and application of God’s Word and His grace. A pastor at heart, Chuck has served as senior pastor to congregations in Texas, Massachusetts, and California. Since 1998, he has served as the founder and senior pastor-teacher of Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, but Chuck’s listening audience extends far beyond a local church body. As a leading program in Christian broadcasting since 1979, Insight for Living airs in major Christian radio markets around the world, reaching people groups in languages they can understand.

While on the island of Okinawa during his tour of duty in the United States Marine Corps, Chuck recognized that the Lord was calling him to devote his life to the gospel ministry. With Cynthia, his partner in life since 1955, Chuck has devoted himself to the challenge of communicating practical, biblical truth and its application in the context of God’s grace.

Chuck’s prolific writing ministry has blessed the body of Christ for decades. Beginning with You and Your Child in 1977, Chuck has contributed more than 70 titles to a worldwide reading audience.
