Jimmy Swaggart: Televangelist, Ministry, and Scandals


Episode 805


The source is an excerpt from a Wikipedia article detailing the life and career of American Pentecostal televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who lived from 1935 to 2025. It provides a structured overview of his life, beginning with his early life in Louisiana and his family ties to musicians Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley. The main body of the text focuses heavily on his ministries and expansive career in radio and television, which included founding the Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and the SonLife Broadcasting Network. Crucially, the source outlines the prostitution scandals of 1988 and 1991 that led to his defrocking by the Assemblies of God and his subsequent shift to non-denominational ministry. Finally, it notes his later work, family life, and eventual death in Baton Rouge.
