Episode 2: You Have No Idea How God Will Use You—Stay Open!

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.
