Miracle offering season in the mega-church ramps up every Fall as celebrity pastors and their churches manipulate people into giving millions of dollars in a single weekend. Under the guise of "missions" and "outreach," big churches scam people out of more money to expand their existing ministries, grow their revenue, and get even bigger.

All of this is above and beyond the tithes that people are already giving faithfully. Worst of all, there is almost zero transparency and accountability about how churches spend this money when the offering is done. With millions of dollars in assets already, these rich mega-churches just keep getting bigger and richer while people in their communities struggle to make ends meet. All the while, their CEO celebrity pastors continue living luxury lifestyles that few in their communities can.

In this documentary video, we expose the common money manipulation tactics of churches and the playbook churches use to pull off miracle offerings every year. We also discuss the selling of miracles and the strategies toxic churches use to get church members to give sacrificially beyond what they can afford. We also arm you with questions to ask to know whether your church can be trusted financially and to help you know whether an offering is legit or a scam.

This video is NOT for the faint of heart. It IS for those who want the TRUTH and want to see the church be better.
