How Multi-Level Marketing Targets Christians (4 of 4)

from Truce - History of the Christian Church · host Chris Staron

Did you know that Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump have all stumped for the multi-level marketing industry? MLMs, direct sales, and network marketing have powerful friends. But what about Christian "celebrities"? On this, our fourth and final episode on MLMs, we're going to demonstrate how the gospel is used to sell an illegitimate business model. People like Josh McDowell have spoken for Amway. But does that make his actions wrong? He is, after all, there to preach the gospel to a captive audience. Who can blame him?Ideas explored in this episode:* What was the Trump Network?* Did Bill Clinton speak at Amway events?* How was George Bush involved with MLMs?* Who is Terri Savelle Foy?* Can we mix the gospel and business?* Why do Christians and people of faith sell for pyramid schemes?* How do pyramid schemes target Christians?Want more information and links?
