WHO'S APPEARING
Dennis Swanberg
|
If laughter is truly the best medicine, then Dennis Swanberg, America's "Minister of Encouragement" is just what the doctor ordered. With his own down-home charm and heaping helping of hospitality, this Austin, Texas born pastor-turned-comedian has won the hearts of audiences across the country.
As a motivational speaker, teacher, preacher, counselor and comedian, Dennis Swanberg knows just what it takes to make life a more pleasant road to journey down - with a laugh or two along the way. His routines regularly include hilarious send-ups of his own family life, both as a child growing up in Texas and as a husband and parent today to his wife Lauree and two teenaged sons, Dusty and Chad.
Swanberg says:
"I try to bring people laughter, but my point is always that joy is a choice. Happiness is dependent on what happens, but joy is a choice. It take an act of your will. And it takes dying to yourself and coming alive in the lives of others. I want to encourage people to have courage and be strong and go for it. Do your best and go out there risking. We live in a world where you can afford to fail and try again. I want people to enjoy life. Any one way you can enjoy life is by helping other people enjoy life."
