America’s megachurches are big business and let me tell you: business is good. Each year these Evangelical houses of worship rake in billions of dollars several times over through music sales, book sales, seminars, clothing lines, and of course their favorite revenue stream: tax-free donations. 

Holy Rollers are part of the fabric of America. From Billy Graham to Jim Bakker to Joel Osteen these men, and sometimes women, spend their time living lavish lifestyles and preaching prosperity gospels to their dedicated flocks of thousands of worshipers each week all hoping for the financial blessings they’re often told is coming their way. They wield immense influence not just in local communities but on the national political stage wielding their faith not as a tool to raise up the marginalized but as a weapon to keep them down.

Join us each week on The Grift of God where your hosts Zack and Will go where the spirit takes them, keeping tabs on the megachurches helmed by America’s holiest rollers. The money, the influence, the politics, and of course the scandals they’d rather put in God’s hands.
