Living with Insight

Financial teacher and longtime friend Dave Ramsey joins Pastor Chuck Swindoll in our studio for this fourth episode of Living with Insight.

Dave Ramsey built a real estate portfolio, lost it all to bankruptcy, and rebuilt his life on what Scripture says about money—founding Ramsey Solutions, Financial Peace University, and The Ramsey Show to help people handle their money according to biblical principles.

But few know that Dave first met Chuck as a young believer in the 1980s. He found Insight for Living on the radio and ordered Insight for Living cassette tapes to listen to Chuck’s Bible teaching.

Now the two sit down for a wide-ranging conversation covering:

·        Why the borrower is slave to the lender—and how debt freedom changes everything for a family or a ministry

·        How God surprisingly led them to start ministries and take them beyond anything they imagined

·        Why legacy is about stewardship, not ego—and the value of good succession planning

·        The thread of redemption that God weaves through every season, even the ones we’re sure will ruin us

Grab a seat and enjoy the conversation. 

For many years, Greg Laurie and Pastor Chuck Swindoll have been friends who have ministered together and carry deep regard for one another. Now they sit down to reflect on what God has taught them along the way.

Greg Laurie serves as the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California and is a respected author, evangelist, and crusade leader across the country.

While Chuck and Greg share plenty of fun stories, they also become vulnerable. They share their testimonies, including the difficult childhoods that God used to shape them in profound ways. Both experienced an unexpected call into ministry and have been used in ways they least expected. Nevertheless, they weren’t immune to tragedy. Greg shares how the loss of his son took him into some dark places, but God was faithful to carry him through it all.

You’ll walk away with the tools to have:

• the humility to step aside and let God take control
• a deeper understanding of how God uses heartbreak to build compassion and depth
• a new appreciation for the importance of simplicity and vulnerability in ministry
• practical wisdom for sharing our unchanging gospel with a culture that’s changed dramatically

Hear how God’s hand is on your life no matter what season you’re going through.

Longtime friend, Jimmy Draper, joins Pastor Chuck Swindoll in our studio for this second episode of Living with Insight.

Jimmy Draper pastored churches for 35 years, was president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1982–1984, and became the president of Lifeway Christian Resources in 1991 where he served until his retirement in 2006.

But few know that Chuck and Jimmy led revivals together as teenagers in the greater Houston area.

Today, each one has more than 70 years of ministry experience behind them.

Chuck and Jimmy sit down for a wide-ranging discussion covering:

• How God surprised them both—and why staying open to His call matters more than having a plan
• What they’ve learned from low points in ministry, and why discouragement is never the right time to make a decision
• Why you won’t receive all your rewards until eternity
• Practical wisdom for staying pure and humble in ministry
• What 70-plus years of faithful marriage looks like—and the secret to it

Grab a seat and enjoy the conversation.

In the debut release of Insight for Living’s new video series, Living with Insight, Pastor Chuck Swindoll is joined by Pastor Robert Jeffress of the historic First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. Hear how these two seasoned shepherds have handled conflict within the church and what lessons on leadership they would share with younger leaders in the church, at work, or in everyday life.
