These five-minute programs feature Chuck Swindoll's best stories. You'll hear his loudest laughs, his funniest experiences, and his famous catch phrases.
White Gloves, Oreos, and Chicken
Erosion is slow, silent, and subtle. That’s why compromise can so quickly lead to erosion—it isn’t always bad, but when we compromise on God’s Word erosion beings to take place. And that leads to destruction.
When Apathy Rules

Our Times Aren't in Our Hands
Have you ever had an experience when circumstances were completely out of your control and there was nothing you could do…except trust God? When that happens it's a good reminder that God is the potter and we are the clay.
Never too Old to Get at It
Often those who are getting a little older think it is too late to do something significant. But that isn't true. It is never too late.
