With more wake-up punch than 6 cups of Starbucks and a V-8 slap on the forehead, “It’s Up to You” challenged me to think of the coming years of my life as the most important ones. – Mike Huckabee (Former Governor of Arkansas & United State Ambassador to Israel)

Hear From Our Friends!

I have just rediscovered “The Swan”on YouTube. I have been listening to his messages and along with other things happening in my life, I have rededicated my life to the Lord. Just wanted to let him know that he has been an influence in this decision

-Bessie

You have blessed our lives in so many ways that you are not even aware of - when we needed encouragement in difficult times we went to a Swanberg tape and listened and when were were “on the mountain” we listened to them just to be uplifted with a laugh … you have truly planted shade trees that you have not sat under but we have and we love you for doing that in our lives.

-Ken and Jo

Thank you for giving my heart and spirit such joy through your humor and words of faith. I think God for how he designed you! You are a precious gemstone of a soul.

-Cheryl

We love your ministry. We are a family of 7 and have been watching you for years… We thank you for putting so much joy in our home for years. We quote you on a daily basis to each other and it has helped us all to keep the joy of the Lord!
