Description

He was the man who could make a stadium cry with a single note and bring fire from the pulpit with just one verse. Jimmy Swaggart wasn’t just a preacher — he was a phenomenon. A televangelist. A gospel musician. A household name. And then… a headline.


In this episode of Purpose, we dive into the complex, unforgettable story of Jimmy Swaggart — from his Southern gospel roots to his rise as one of America’s most influential evangelists, and the public fall that stunned a nation. But it doesn’t stop there.


Because purpose, as we’ll explore, isn’t erased by failure — it’s shaped by it.


This isn’t just a story about scandal. It’s about humanity, grace, resilience, and what happens when calling refuses to quit — even when the world does.
