Pastor Dennis Swanberg

 

Pastor Dennis Swanberg spoke in Hutchinson at the Flag Theatre on June 4, 2015 at a fund raiser for the Christian Soup Kitchen.  First Congregational Church then hosted Pastor Swanberg at our Worship Service the following day.

 

This year Pastor Swanberg will appear at over 150 churches, conferences, businesses and concert events. He has also authored seven books and an additional book on men's ministry has recently hit the marketplace. He has recorded a radio show. And as always, he'll be bringing a note of encouragement, a pocketful of hilarious stories and a great big bag of joy and laughter wherever he goes.

 

"I try to bring people laughter, but my advice to them is always that joy is a choice. Happiness is dependent upon what happens in your life, but joy is a choice you can make every single day. It takes an act of your will...even if you don't feel joyful at the moment. And it takes dying to yourself and coming alive in the lives of others around you. I want to motivate my audiences to have courage, to be strong, to look for the moments in life that make them realize they are an important part of this world. Do your best to go out there risking. We live in a world where you can afford to fail and try again. I want people to realize that this is a great life to enjoy. And the one way you can enjoy life is by helping other people enjoy it too."

 

Looks like this doctor of encouragement writes his own prescriptions.
