Jimmy Swaggart Remains Critical After Cardiac Arrest

Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, 90, suffered a cardiac arrest at his Baton Rouge home on June 15, 2025, and remains in critical condition in the ICU. His son Donnie, along with grandson Gabriel, performed chest compressions until emergency responders arrived, but Swaggart has not regained consciousness and is considered unlikely to survive without a miracle. The family and ministry have requested prayers and privacy as they await further updates. Swaggart, originally from Ferriday, Louisiana, became a nationally known figure in the 1970s and 1980s through his ministry and broadcasting network. His career suffered a major setback after scandals and defrocking in the late 1980s, but he continued preaching and expanded his international outreach. No further updates on his condition have been released.
