Exposing the Prosperity Gospel
Millions desperate for hope are enticed by the promise of the prosperity gospel – that God will respond to faith and a financial gift - while prosperity preachers exploit the needy and stockpile their own riches. How can followers of the true Gospel combat this deception? On this edition of Equipped with Chris Brooks, Costi Hinn, nephew of world-famous televangelist Benny Hinn, joins Chris Brooks to reveal the inner workings of the prosperity movement and remind us of the true hope we have in Christ Jesus.
