Description: What happens when faith meets finance? In this episode of Remnant Radio, we dig deep into The Religion Business to call balls & strikes on the claims made in the docuseries.The Religion Business, a seven-part investigative documentary by Nathan Apffel and Chris Ayoub, examines corruption, financial secrecy, and ethical failures in megachurches and prosperity gospel ministries. It explores issues such as religious fraud, lack of accountability, extravagant spending by religious leaders, tax-loopholes for churches, and how donors are impacted by opaque financial practices. In our review, we’ll discuss the strongest arguments the film makes about churches and finances as well as examine parts we believe are over-generalized or under-substantiated. 0:00 – Introduction4:16 – Documentary Overview 7:10 – Formal vs Informal Filing 20:09 - Church Auxiliaries30:45 – Private Inurement41:46 – Tithes52:47 - Internal vs External Use of Resources57:08 – Closing Thoughts Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here. Have you ever wondered if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit—like prophecy, healing, and tongues—really stopped after the apostles? Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth. In Remnant Radio’s new ebook, History of Spiritual Gifts: The Myth of Cessationism, I dive into church history to reveal the active use of spiritual gifts by early church fathers 🙏 God’s been GOOD! 🙏 Watch our year-end message from Joshua Lewis & see how your support helps us resource & equip believers in God's Word & Spirit!If Remnant Radio has blessed you, would you consider partnering with us as we step into the new year?
