Steve is a senior generosity strategist. “Senior?” Well, that just means he’s been coaching leaders and consulting with congregations in all things related to generosity and giving for nearly forty years. “Generosity?” Steve’s all about living consciously, compassionately, and charitably. “Strategist?” That’s right. Helping congregations learn and adapt their giving traditions with “best practices in giving” in the world of philanthropy is one of twin passions in Steve’s life. The other is in learning how to give himself away and so model for others the joy of living consciously, compassionately, and charitably.
Conscious Leaders are more than just competent business or religious leaders. They are leaders deeply connected to themselves, to others, and to this world. They know the interconnectedness of all things and, consequently, they seek to lead from this profound awareness. As an experienced leadership coach and spiritual director, Steve guides religious leaders and congregations and faith-based non-profits in generious giving, personal growth in spiritual living, and skillful leadership for the 21st century. It is the dance of these disciplines that results in a concious life well-lived.
Steve has been a communicator for most of his life. The youngest disc-jockey at a top-40 radio station when he was just twelve, Steve graduated college with a degree in Broadcasting and Communication. He furthered his education, graduating seminary twice with MDiv and DMin degrees. Steve served as a senior minister in the Evangelical tradition and later chose to pursue his faith in the Catholic tradition. Steve speaks in congregations of all sizes as well as at conferences like the International Catholic Stewardship Conference held annually across America. His natural, communicative style instantly endears him to audiences. With laughter sprinkled with profound wisdom, Steve shares insights for life and living and the joys of giving. Steve challenges his hearers to aspire to live an authentic, abundant, as well as charitable and happy life.
Dr. Steve McSwain is an award-winning author with two inspiring books as shown here:
Dr. Steve McSwain works with the Generis team of experienced architects in generosity who guide people, parishes, and non-profit entities in proven strategies to fully fund their God-inspired visions. With a central office in Atlanta and dozens of regional offices from coast-to-coast, Generis' generosity strategists guide churches of every Christian communion and faith-based non-profit organizations in funding their dreams of faith and ministry.
The beautiful religious symbols of the original design by Dr. Steve McSwain have been attractive to thousands of people who share his vision of world peace, where humans respect, even value, the diversity of any and all spiritual traditions.
Surprised by this widespread interest in the unity pendant and the religious symbols, Dr. McSwain secured a manufacturing company to produce these beautiful religious symbols. Today, just a few years after the first pendants were produced, this religious symbol has been shipped to nearly every continent on planet earth.
