Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were pioneers of the Word of Faith/Prosperity Gospel movement in the 70’s and 80’s. They were televangelists who started their own broadcast network PTL (Praise The Lord) and even created a theme park and water park called Heritage USA. This week’s guest is my step uncle – Alan Gifford who worked at PTL in Heritage USA and who’s father was a personal security guard for Jim Bakker. He shares some funny, personal stories about his time working for the Bakkers and growing up in the Word Of Faith belief.
Hi, I’m Mackenzie. I’m a music artist, worship leader, wife, mom (I wear a lot of hats), and host of the Godly Whistleblower podcast. I seek to shine a light on popular teachings and music in the church today and share what Scripture teaches on how we are to worship in spirit and in truth within the church gathering. My desire is to learn together with my listeners how Christians are to live lives ultimately as a pleasing worship to God.
If you enjoyed this episode, I’d appreciate so much if you left me a review!
Thank you for listening!
– Mac
