Ep. 645: Prosperity Gospel, Dolly Parton, and The Rabbit Room

Bad behavior comes from all directions. We are, after all, human. So no institution is immune from The Fall. That said, a lot of the stories we cover that include scandal or fraud seem to come from those who advocate for The Prosperity Gospel. Today, Christina and Warren point you to a great resource to learn more about this branch of evangelical Christianity.

We also take a close look at Dolly Parton’s philanthropy.

A new study by the Independent Sector shows nonprofit organizations remain the most-trusted sector in the U.S., even as perceptions of government institutions and private corporations worsen.

And, finally, more publishing success from The Rabbit Room. The Rabbit Room Press, a part of the ministry founded by musician and writer Andrew Peterson, has had a string of unlikely successes lately. The most recent has been the publication of an epic poem by Malcolm Guite.

 Here are some resources mentioned in today’s program:
