For more than a decade, community leaders, corporate executives, politicians, priests, pastors, and other religious leaders, have heard Dr. McSwain’s passionate call to philanthropy, generosity, and a spirituality that reaches beyond the customary divides, one respectful of all religious traditions. Whether a congregational setting or a corporate event, Dr. McSwain connects with audiences everywhere. His message is candid, but respectful, humorous and always uplifting. Each year, he speaks in Roman Catholic parishes, mainline Protestant churches, and Evangelical congregations all over America. In workshops, seminars, conferences, and corporate events, Dr. McSwain inspires people to achieve their highest purpose and to enjoy the spiritually-connected life. His public speaking covers a broad range of topics including generosity, inter-faith dialogue, spirituality and spiritual formation, ethics, ecology, and social justice.
Dr. McSwain is a prolific author. The book, The Giving Myths has been widely regarded by leaders from virtually every branch of Christianity as one of the most thought-provoking books on generosity and Christian giving ever written. While most on this topic simply rehash the same worn-out methodology and theology, The Giving Myths is fresh, creative, and takes the issue of generosity straight to its Source. It debunks the most common myths about giving, such as “Give and You’ll Get Rich” and “Tithing is the Standard for Giving.” The author guides readers to an inner experience of spiritual transformation, the secret to becoming a truly generous person. Since its publication, Dr. McSwain has had dozens of radio and television appearances and numerous invitations to host seminars, conferences, and to deliver speeches on the subject, “Giving, then Getting the Life You’ve Always Wanted.”
Dr. McSwain’s Mantra for Life is:
“Receive everything as a Divine gift to you;
Learn from everything as your gift to yourself;
Live what you learn as your gift to the world.”
