'''Charles Rozell''' "'''Chuck'''" '''Swindoll''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|w|ɪ|n|ˌ|d|ɒ|l}} (born October 18, 1934) is an [[Evangelicalism|evangelical]] Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher. He founded ''Insight for Living'', headquartered in [[Frisco, Texas|Frisco]], [[Texas]], which airs a radio program of the same name on more than 2,000 stations around the world in 15 languages. He is currently senior pastor at [[Stonebriar Community Church]], in [[Frisco, Texas|Frisco]], Texas.
==Early life==
Charles Rozell Swindoll was born on October 18, 1934, in [[El Campo, Texas|El Campo]] in [[Wharton County, Texas]], the third of three children born to Earl and Lovell Swindoll. He attended [[Charles H. Milby High School]] in [[Houston]]. He credits his drama teacher, Dick Nieme, for helping him overcome severe [[stuttering]].<ref name=Saying>{{cite book|last1=Swindoll|first1=Charles R.|title=Saying It Well: Touching Others with Your Words|date=2012|publisher=Hachette Digital|isbn=0892968338|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=h_1pgrWVHn4C&pg=PT17&lpg=PT17#v=onepage&q&f=false|accessdate=July 12, 2014}}</ref> As a member of the school [[marching band]] and orchestra, he learned to play all of the instruments in the woodwind section, although the saxophone remained his primary instrument. After graduating from high school, he studied [[mechanical engineering]] while working for Reed Roller Bit Company in [[Houston]], Texas. Swindoll then fulfilled his military service obligation{{clarify|date=June 2016}} with the [[United States Marine Corps]], first in San Francisco, then on the Japanese island of [[Okinawa]]. After his [[Military discharge#Honorable|honorable discharge]] in 1959, he attended [[Dallas Theological Seminary]], where he graduated [[magna cum laude]] four years later.
==Career==
Swindoll was [[ordained]] into the ministry in 1963 and served in [[Dallas]], under [[J. Dwight Pentecost]], for two years. He has since held senior pastorates in [[Waltham, Massachusetts]] (1965–67), [[Irving, Texas]] (1967–71), and [[Fullerton, California]] (1971–94). He started his current senior pastorate in [[Frisco, Texas]] in 1998.
Swindoll is the founder of Insight for Living, which produces a radio program of the same name on Christian and non-Christian radio stations around the world. The program is heard on more than 2000 stations, as well as being [[webcast]], and is translated into several languages. Its roots go back to the summer of 1977, when Swindoll's sermons from the First [[Evangelical Free Church of America|Evangelical Free Church]] in Fullerton were broadcast on radio. In 1979 the ''Insight for Living'' radio ministry began; its offices are now located in [[Frisco, Texas|Frisco]].
In July 1994, Swindoll became the president of [[Dallas Theological Seminary]] and now serves as its [[chancellor (education)|chancellor]]. He is the author of more than 70 books, most of which are based on his research and preparation for sermons preached each Sunday. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, ''[[Christianity Today]]'' produced an article naming Swindoll as one of the top 25 most influential preachers of the past 50 years (1956–2006).
In 1998 Swindoll founded [[Stonebriar Community Church]] in Frisco. Many of the pastors at Stonebriar are graduates of [[Dallas Theological Seminary]]. The church first held services at Collin County Community College (now [[Collin College]]), then moved to its permanent home on Legendary Drive. The [[wikt:congregation|congregation]] grew rapidly from a few hundred members to several thousand in the first few years, and this growth has necessitated major expansion of the current facility. Construction for the additions began in 2005. The church is known for its [[missionary]] work in [[India]] and in other countries. Though Swindoll is still widely regarded as an [[Evangelical Free Church of America]] preacher, the [[Stonebriar Community Church]] is not affiliated with any particular [[Christian denomination|denomination]].<ref>"Although Stonebriar shares many of the same beliefs and values, the church is not affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America." – Heather Hammontree, ''Insight for Living'', e-mail dated January 7, 2004.</ref>
==Personal life==
On June 18, 1955, Swindoll married Cynthia Ann Parker, who used to be the pianist at a [[Baptist]] Church in [[Galena Park, Texas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/archives/the-boy-in-the-boat/article_049233d7-cffb-58db-a912-a39206a00516.html|title=The Boy In The Boat|publisher=yourhoustonnews.com| date=January 4, 2006 |accessdate=March 7, 2016}}</ref> Together, the couple has four children, ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
