Disney Land for Jesus: Tammy Faye Bakker

What happens when faith, fame, and money collide… and no one’s watching the books?This week, Anthony takes Dana into the glitter-soaked, mascara-streaked world of Tammy Faye Bakker — a televangelist who built an empire on love, forgiveness, and really good TV… until it all came crashing down.We’re talking about PTL (“Praise The Lord”… or “Pass The Loot,” depending on who you ask), a Christian theme park built to rival Disney, millions of dollars flowing through the ministry, and scandals that went from whispers to front-page headlines fast.But Tammy Faye isn’t exactly who you think she is.Behind the lashes and the over-the-top persona is a woman who challenged norms, embraced outcasts, and—at times—stood in direct opposition to the very world she helped create.So how did it all unravel? Where did the money go? And why did America become so obsessed with her downfall?This is a story about power, image, belief… and what happens when the performance becomes bigger than the faith.
