The pastors of mega churches are a different breed of people. We’ve covered a number of them here on AHC Podcast, and the scandals discussed, and corresponding scores seem to shed some of the light on the true work of these “men of the pulpit”. This episode is about perhaps the most famous of the predatory preachers, Joel Osteen. With tycoon-type wealth and a following in the millions, it does seem that Osteen has brought good to a lot of people. But have the private jets and suits worth 3 mortgage payments all come to him in good faith? Is there more to this Tim Allen/Martin Short look-alike than we know? We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more on this episode of AHC Podcast.
