Pay Up or Be Cursed: How Pentecostal Churches Weaponize Giving - EP75

from Grace Escape · host Justin and Tiffany

Show me the money!! Now, show me the abusive tactics Pentecostal pastors use to get the money!! Can this really be true? Yes! Congregants are being manipulated beyond belief nearly every Sunday on church pews across the world about their giving. Manipulation through tactics such as guilt-tripping, fear-mongering, shaming, pressuring, and the misuse of Scripture. Today’s episode gives a message of hope: Jesus didn’t set you free to leave you shackled to fear-driven giving, or in the bondage of spiritual abuse. So walk in the liberty He has given, and be free in Christ!And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. 2 Peter 2:3 ESVLast Week: Crushed by the Call: Pentecostalism’s Super Ministry Obsession - EP 73Playlists:Examining PentecostalismThe Church BuildingHoliness StandardsThe “MOG” (Man of God)All About The Money⁠Abuse In The Pulpit⁠Podcast Playlist⁠ - YoutubeShow Links:Is Mandated Tithing Biblical? - E27Give to Get?
