Today on the Preacher Boys Podcast, we're diving into one of the most under-discussed forms of church abuse: financial exploitation. From guilt-tripping congregants into tithing during the COVID-19 pandemic to shaming members with bizarre, homophobic rhetoric, this episode breaks down real sermon clips from prominent pastors and ministries who use weaponized biblical language to control their congregations' finances.
In this episode, we react to and unpack clips from:
— Josh McPherson's viral "tithe shaming" sermon
— Paul Chappell of Lancaster Baptist Church on tithing during COVID-19
— Jabin Chavez, a Las Vegas pastor with a surprisingly refreshing take on financial hardship
— Kenneth Copeland's fear-based prosperity gospel messaging during the pandemic
— Pastor Larry Smith and his "first fruits" tithing philosophy
— Bruce Goddard (featured in HBO Max's "Let Us Prey" documentary) and his complaints about members leaving during COVID and not tithing when they sold their homes
We explore how tithing, sacrificial giving, and "faithfulness" are often twisted into tools of manipulation — pressuring people already struggling to pay bills, feed their families, or survive a global pandemic into handing over money to the church.
