About Christ And Christians

For centuries, Christianity has been a force of faith, power, and influence. But behind the prayers and preaching lies a hidden world of crime, corruption, deception, and secrets that many would rather keep buried. Christ and Christians is a bold, hard-hitting investigative podcast that dares to uncover the darker side of faith—where belief and betrayal collide, where saints and sinners are sometimes one and the same.This isn’t just a podcast about religion—it’s about power, manipulation, and the lengths people will go to in the name of Christ.What You’ll Hear🔎 The Crimes of the Pious – Murder, fraud, abuse, and deception—exposing the most shocking crimes committed under the guise of faith.🔥 Cults, Conmen, and Charlatans – From self-proclaimed messiahs to brainwashed followers, we dive into the rise and fall of the most infamous Christian cults and the horrors they left behind.🕵️‍♂️ Unsolved Mysteries & Cover-Ups – The Vatican’s best-kept secrets, lost gospels, hidden scandals, and the untold stories that rewrite history.💰 Power, Politics, and Corruption – Mega-church millionaires, religious empires, and institutions that have turned faith into fortune at any cost.✝️ The Story of Christ—Fact or Fiction? – Re-examining the historical Jesus, the contradictions in His story, and the battle over what He truly stood for.Why This Podcast?Because the truth should never be silenced.

The Fall of Jim Bakker

Episode Summary: Jim Bakker was once the king of televangelism, preaching prosperity and salvation to millions through The PTL Club. With his wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, he built a massive Christian empire, including the multi-million dollar Heritage USAtheme park. But behind the scenes, Bakker was running a fraudulent empire—pocketing millions in donations, selling fake "lifetime partnerships," and covering up scandals. The turning point came in 1987 when a shocking sex scandal involving church secretary Jessica Hahn surfaced, leading to deeper investigations into financial fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering. In 1989, Bakker was sentenced to 45 years in prison for conning his followers out of millions. However, after serving just five years, he made a controversial comeback—this time selling doomsday survival kits and false miracle cures. In this episode, we unravel the rise, fall, and resurrection of Jim Bakker, exposing how religious leaders exploit faith for power and profit. How did he deceive millions? Why do people still follow him? And what does his story reveal about the dark side of televangelism? 🔎 Join us as we investigate one of the biggest scandals in Christian history. 🎧 Subscribe to Christ and Christians for more deep dives into crime, corruption, cults, and mysteries within Christianity. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
