'''Jimmy Lee Swaggart''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|w|æ|g|ər|t}}; born March 15, 1935) is an American [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] [[televangelism|televangelist]].

Jimmy Swaggart Ministries owns and operates the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN). Swaggart is the senior pastor of the Family Worship Center in [[Baton Rouge]], [[Louisiana]].

==Early life==
Jimmy Lee Swaggart was born on March 15, 1935, in [[Ferriday, Louisiana]],<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6AJZQuuS6SUC&q=jimmy+swaggart+march+15%2C+1935&pg=PA197 |title=Jesus: Myth or Reality?|isbn=978-0-595-39764-8|last1=Curtis|first1=Ian|date=June 2006|publisher=iUniverse }}</ref> to fiddle player and Pentecostal preacher Willie Leon (known as "Sun" or "Son") Swaggart and Minnie Bell Herron, daughter of sharecropper William Herron. Swaggart's parents were related by marriage, as Son Swaggart's maternal uncle, Elmo Lewis, was married to Minnie Herron's sister, Mamie. The extended family had a complex network of interrelationships: "cousins and in-laws and other relatives married each other until the clan was entwined like a big, tight ball of rubber bands".<ref>''Saved by Song: A History of Gospel and Christian Music'', Don Cusic, University of Mississippi Press, 2012, p. 321</ref><ref>''Roots of the Rich and Famous'', Robert R. Davenport, Taylor Publishing, 1998, p. 131</ref><ref>''Swaggart: The Unauthorized Biography of an American Evangelist'', Ann Rowe Seaman, Bloomsbury Publishing, 2001, pp. 33–35</ref>

Swaggart is the cousin of [[rockabilly]] pioneer [[Jerry Lee Lewis]] and [[country music]] star [[Mickey Gilley]].<ref>[http://www.unconqueredthebook.com/ ''Unconquered: The Saga of Cousins Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley''] 488 pages Brown Books Publishing Group (May 1, 2012), English {{ISBN|978-1-61254-041-2}}</ref> He also had a sister, Jeanette Ensminger (1942–1999). With his parents, Swaggart attended small [[Assemblies of God]] churches in Ferriday and Wisner.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In 1952, aged 17, Swaggart married 15-year-old Frances Anderson, whom he met in church in Wisner, Louisiana while he was playing music with his father, who pastored the Assembly of God Church there. They have a son named Donnie. Swaggart worked several part-time odd jobs to support his young family and also began singing [[Southern Gospel]] music at various churches.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

According to his autobiography ''To Cross a River'', Swaggart, along with his wife and son, lived in poverty during the 1950s as he preached throughout rural [[Louisiana]], struggling to survive on an income of $30 a week ({{Inflation|US|30|1957|r=-1|fmt=eq}}). Being too poor to own a home, the Swaggarts lived in church basements, homes of pastors, and small motels. [[Sun Records]] producer [[Sam Phillips]] wanted to start a [[Gospel music|gospel]] line of music for the label (perhaps to remain in competition with [[RCA Records|RCA Victor]] and [[Columbia Records|Columbia]], who also had gospel lines at the time) and wanted Swaggart for Sun as the first gospel artist for the label. Swaggart's cousin, Jerry Lee Lewis, had previously signed with Sun and was reportedly earning $20,000 per week at the time. Although the offer meant a promise for significant income for him and his family, Swaggart turned Phillips down, stating that he was called to preach the gospel.<ref>{{cite book|title=To Cross a River|year=1984|publisher=Jimmy Swaggart Ministries |location=Baton Rouge, La.|isbn=978-0-88270-221-6|author=Jimmy Swaggart|edition=3rd |author2=Robert Paul Lamb|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/tocrossriver00swag}}</ref>

==Career==
===Ordination and early career===
Preaching from a flatbed trailer donated to him, Swaggart began full-time evangelistic work in 1955. He began developing a revival-meeting following throughout the American South.  In 1960, he began recording gospel music record albums and transmitting on Christian radio stations. In 1961, Swaggart was ordained by the Assemblies of God; a year later he began his radio ministry. In the late 1960s, Swaggart founded what was then a small church named the Family Worship Center in [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana]]; the church eventually became district-affiliated with the Assemblies of God.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In 1971, Swaggart began transmitting a weekly 30-minute telecast over various local television stations in Baton Rouge and also purchased a local AM radio station, WLUX (now [[WPFC (AM)|WPFC]]). The station broadcast Christian feature stories, preaching and teaching to various [[Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist]] and Pentecostal denominations and playing [[Traditional black gospel|black gospel]], [[Southern gospel]], and inspirational music. Swaggart sold many of his radio stations gradually throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

===Shifting to television===
By 1975, the television ministry had expanded to more stations around the United States, and he began to use television as his primary preaching forum. In 1978, the weekly telecast was increased to an hour.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In 1980, Swaggart began a daily weekday telecast featuring Bible study and music, and the weekend, hour-long telecast included a service from either Family Worship Center (Swaggart's church) or an on-location crusade in a major city. In the early 1980s, the broadcasts expanded to major cities nationwide. By 1983, more than 250 television stations broadcast the telecast.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

===Promotion of RENAMO===
Throughout the 1980s, Jimmy Swaggart Ministries was one of many American Evangelical leaders who promoted the South African-backed Mozambican National Resistance, aka [[RENAMO]], which was accused of committing systematic [[war crime]]s during [[Mozambican Civil War|Mozambique's 15-year-long civil war]]. In addition to moral support and publicity, Swaggart Ministries was repeatedly accused of providing funding and material support to the group. In September 1985, government forces supported by Zimbabwe captured RENAMO's main headquarters inside Mozambique, Casa Banana. Among the materials left behind by retreating rebels were piles of Swaggart's 1982 publication, "How to Receive The Baptism in the Holy Spirit", translated into Portuguese.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Conflict with Renamo, 1976-1992 «August 1990» Dossier MZ-0020: 126. Rightwing Christian Group Denies Renamo Connection |url=https://www.mozambiquehistory.net/90_08.php |website=Mozambique History Net}}</ref> During the 1988 trial of Australian missionary Ian Grey, who coordinated much of the private support to RENAMO, it was claimed by the defendant that Swaggart Ministries worked through Shekinah Ministries to provide support to RENAMO. That year, extensive media coverage of Swaggart and his businesses in the wake of a sex scandal largely excluded these allegations.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Diamond |first1=Sara |title=Spiritual Warfare The Politics of the Christian Right |date=1990 |isbn=978-0-921689-64-5 |page=199 |publisher=Black Rose Books |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VRDo9R_FbdUC&dq=Jimmy+Swaggart+renamo&pg=PA199}}</ref> In 1991, Covert Action Magazine and the government of Zimbabwe both accused Swaggart ministries of continuing to fund RENAMO.<ref>{{cite book |title=Political Developments and Prospects for Peace in Mozambique and Review of the Electorial &#91;sic&#93; Process in Angola Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Africa of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Second Congress, Second Session, October 8, 1992 · Volume 4 |date=1993 |publisher=USGPO |page=109 |isbn=9780160411410 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=11ijXTSYczYC&q=swaggart}}</ref>

===Prostitution scandals===
In 1988, Swaggart was accused of patronizing a prostitute. He was suspended and ultimately [[defrocked]] by the Assemblies of God. Three years later, Swaggart was implicated in another scandal involving prostitution. As a result, Swaggart's ministry became non-affiliated, nondenominational, and significantly smaller than it was in the ministry's pre-scandal years.<ref name="books.google">{{cite book|last=Djupe|first=Paul A.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=frt7RDOT1PUC&pg=PA430 |title=Encyclopedia of American religion and politics|author2=Olson, Laura R. |publisher=Checkmark Books|year=2008|isbn=978-0-8160-7555-3|page=430|access-date=March 13, 2011}}</ref><ref name="Kaufman">{{Cite news|title=The Fall of Jimmy Swaggart |url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20098413,00.html|date=March 7, 1988 |first=Joanne|last=Kaufman|work=People|access-date=October 18, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jimmy-Swaggart|title=Jimmy Swaggart {{!}} Biography, Ministries, & Scandals|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2020-02-23}}</ref>

====1988 prostitution scandal====
Swaggart's first prostitution scandal occurred in retaliation for an incident in 1986 when he accused fellow Assemblies of God minister Marvin Gorman of having several affairs. Gorman was defrocked from the Assemblies of God, and his ministry was all but ended.<ref>{{cite news|last=Andrews|first=Travis M.|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/01/09/the-rev-marvin-gorman-who-prompted-jimmy-swaggarts-downfall-in-the-80s-dies-at-83/|title=The Rev.

As a retaliatory measure, Gorman hired his son Randy and son-in-law Garland Bilbo to watch the [[Travel Inn]] on [[Airline Highway]] in [[Metairie, Louisiana|Metairie]], a [[suburb]] of [[New Orleans]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Seaman|first=Ann Rowe |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=unT6moT0EE4C&pg=PA331|title=Swaggart: The Unauthorized Biography of an American Evangelist|location=New York City|publisher=Continuum|year=1999 |page=331|isbn=978-1-4411-3645-9 }}</ref> At the Travel Inn, the two men photographed Swaggart outside Room Seven with Debra Murphree,<ref name="Kaufman" /><ref>{{Cite news|last=Applebome|first=Peter|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/02/25/us/scandal-spurs-interest-in-swaggart-finances.html|title=Scandal Spurs Interest in Swaggart Finances|work=The New York Times|date=February 25, 1988|access-date=May 27, 2014}}</ref> a local prostitute.

According to ''Swaggart: The Unauthorized Biography of an American Evangelist'', Gorman secured a promise from Swaggart that he would publicly apologize to Gorman and start the process of Gorman's reinstatement to the Assemblies of God. Gorman offered to remain silent if Swaggart would state publicly that he lied about Gorman's affairs. Gorman waited almost a year, then hand-delivered a note to Swaggart informing him his time was up; Swaggart did not respond. On February 16, 1988, Gorman contacted James Hamil, one of the 13-man Executive Presbytery of the Assemblies of God, to expose Swaggart's assignation with the prostitute.<ref>Seaman, p.337</ref> The presbytery leadership of the Assemblies of God suspended Swaggart from broadcasting his television program for three months.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

According to the [[Associated Press]], Murphree failed a [[polygraph test]] administered by a [[New York City Police Department]] polygraph expert.<ref>Associated Press. ''[[Ocala Star-Banner]]'', February 27, 1988.{{full citation needed|date=January 2014}}</ref> The test administrator concluded that Murphree had failed to tell the truth on all key questions concerning her statement. The test was administered after Murphree offered to sell the story to the ''[[National Enquirer]]'' for $100,000. Murphree failed questions about whether she was paid or promised money to "set up" Swaggart, and whether she made up the story to make money from it.<ref>''[[Toronto Star]]'', February 27, 1988.{{full citation needed|date=January 2014}}</ref> In place of Murphree's interview, ''Enquirer'' editor Levy published an accounting of Swaggart's family where they allegedly expressed their fears over Swaggart's health.<ref>{{cite magazine|title= Swaggart Family: We're Terrified Jimmy's Caught AIDS|last=Levy|first=Paul F.|magazine=National Enquirer|date=March 15, 1988}}</ref> Murphree, who blamed her failed polygraph on "cocaine use" the day before the test was given, went on to have her interview published by ''[[Penthouse (magazine)|Penthouse]]'' magazine.<ref>{{cite news|work=Associated Press News|url=https://apnews.com/article/069802454f73a0bb291bcb65649a325b|title=Prostitute Says Swaggart Had Sex With Her|date=26 May 1988}}</ref>

[[File:JimmySwaggart1988.jpeg|thumb|right|This image of Swaggart brought to tears while delivering his "I have sinned" speech has become a symbolic illustration of the televangelist scandals of the late 1980s.]]
On February 21, 1988, without giving any details regarding his transgressions, Swaggart delivered what came to be known as his "I have sinned" speech on live television. He spoke tearfully to his family, congregation, TV audience, and ended his speech with a prayer: "I have sinned against You, my Lord, and I would ask that Your Precious Blood ... would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God's forgetfulness never to be remembered against me anymore."<ref name="Kaufman" /><ref>{{cite web |last=Swaggart |first=Jimmy |title=Reverend Jimmy Swaggart: Apology Sermon |url=https://americanrhetoric.com/speeches/jswaggartapologysermon.html |access-date=January 25, 2007 |work=americanrhetoric.}}</ref>

The national presbytery of the Assemblies of God extended Swaggart's suspension to their standard two-year suspension for sexual immorality. His return to the pulpit coincided with the end of the three-month suspension originally ordered by the denomination. Believing that Swaggart was not genuinely repentant in submitting to their authority, the hierarchy of the Assemblies of God [[defrocked]] him, removing his credentials and ministerial license.<ref>{{cite news|last=King|first=Peter H.|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-04-09-mn-803-story.html|title=Swaggart Rejects Terms of Penance, Is Defrocked|work=Los Angeles Times|date=April 9, 1988|access-date=August 28, 2020}}</ref>

Swaggart then became an independent and non-denominational Pentecostal minister, establishing Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, based at the Family Worship Center in [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana]], and the Sonlife Broadcasting Network (SBN) which can be seen in the United States and other countries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jsm.org/family-worship-center.html|title=Family Worship Center – Jimmy Swaggart Ministries – Baton Rouge|first=JSM Web|last=Dept.|access-date=April 15, 2017}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=July 2023}}

====1991 prostitution scandal====
On October 11, 1991, Swaggart was found in the company of a prostitute for a second time. He was pulled over by a police officer in [[Indio, California]], for driving on the wrong side of the road. With him in the vehicle was a woman named Rosemary Garcia. According to Garcia, Swaggart had stopped to propose sex to her on the side of the road. She later told reporters: "He asked me for sex. I mean, that's why he stopped me. That's what I do. I'm a prostitute."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://apnews.com/04eb9b770c0dee7f630ecbd30dc0255e|title=Prostitute Says Swaggart Picked Her Up For Sex|work=Associated Press|date=October 12, 1991|access-date=August 28, 2020}}</ref> This time, rather than confessing his sins to his congregation, Swaggart told those at Family Worship Center, "The Lord told me it's flat none of your business."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19911017&slug=1311458|title=Swaggart: God Says 'It's None Of Your Business'|work=Seattle Times|agency=Associated Press|date=October 17, 1991|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200219033627/https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19911017&slug=1311458|archive-date=February 19, 2020}}</ref> Swaggart's son Donnie then announced to the audience that his father would be temporarily stepping down as head of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for "a time of healing and counseling".<ref name=stepdown>{{cite news| url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE5DA1E3BF936A25753C1A967958260 |title=Swaggart Plans to Step Down|work=The New York Times |agency=Associated Press|date=October 15, 1991|access-date=August 28, 2020}}</ref>

===Radio===
Swaggart started SonLife Radio on the noncommercial [[FM band]]. Unlike his previous stations, SonLife was commercial-free and it did not sell time to outside ministries; the preaching and teaching were all produced in-house. The music which it played was primarily [[Southern Gospel]]. SonLife Radio is also streamed on the [[Internet]].<ref>{{cite web |title=SonLife Broadcasting Network {{!}} SBN {{!}} Jimmy Swaggart Ministries |url=http://sonlifetv.com/station_list.html |access-date=28 March 2019 |website=sonlifetv.}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=July 2023}}

===Television===
In 1973, Swaggart proposed to television producers in [[Nashville, Tennessee]] a television program including a fairly large music segment, a short sermon, and time for talking about current ministry projects. They accepted, and within weeks the ''Jimmy Swaggart Telecast'' was being broadcast around the United States.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In 1981, Swaggart launched a daily television program titled ''A Study in the Word''. From the beginning, the primary cable channels which the program was aired on were [[CBN Cable]] (now [[Freeform (TV channel)|Freeform]]), [[Trinity Broadcasting Network|TBN]], and the old [[PTL Satellite Network|PTL Network]] (now [[INSP (TV network)|the Inspiration Network]]).{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}
