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

Avatar photo

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:

Until next time, may God bless you.
