Unmasking the Religion Business: A Deep Dive with Chris Ayoub and Nathan Apffel

from What Are You Made Of? · host Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco

Mike "C-Roc" invites two extraordinary guests, Chris Ayoub and Nathan Apffel, to explore the intricate and often controversial world of religious institutions and their financial practices. Chris, a combat veteran and serial entrepreneur, and Nathan, a two-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, team up to present their groundbreaking project, The Religion Business, a seven-part docu-series 12 years in the making. The series delves into the nonprofit sector in the U.S., with a sharp focus on religious organizations, uncovering the startling realities behind the $1.42 trillion industry. From tax exemptions to financial loopholes, Chris and Nathan reveal how some churches have evolved into profit-driven entities, straying far from their spiritual origins. They discuss their mission to bring accountability and transparency to this sector through their new software platform, Broken Shepherds, which aims to better steward the massive amounts of donor funds that could potentially transform global social issues. Tune in to discover how this eye-opening investigation challenges the status quo and encourages a more responsible approach to philanthropy. https://www.thereligionbusiness.com/ Social Media Links/ Handles- https://www.instagram.com/religionbusiness https://x.com/religionbiz https://www.tiktok.com/@thereligionbusiness
