The Time a Church Bought a Church

Chapter 4, Episode 6 In this episode of Burning Butterflies, Amanda and Melissa revisit the chaotic fall of 2017. Tom unveils his "innovative" fall campaign, a gospel-sharing technique he blatantly lifted from another ministry, but with his usual twist of claiming divine inspiration. Meanwhile, the church rallies behind its latest ambitious project—purchasing and flipping a struggling church building across town.   Amanda and Melissa dig into the mystery of why Come As You Are owns the building, the sudden influx of funds to make the purchase, and Tom’s grand, unspoken plans for the property. They question the motivations, the financial transparency (or lack thereof), and how these schemes fed into the culture of control and manipulation.   Burning Butterflies is a listener supported podcast.
