Spirit and Power S2: E1: Prosperity Gospel, Prosperity President 48:04

Why does Donald Trump look and sound like a Prosperity Gospel preacher? What are the actual ties of the president to this tradition of Christian healers and televangelists? In this episode of Spirit & Power , Dr. Leah Payne speaks with Dr. Gabriel Raeburn - Senior Research Fellow, Harvard Slavery Remembrance Program, Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery Initiative - about the health and wealth preachers who love Donald J. Trump, and their affinities with tech billionaires like Elon Musk & Peter Thiel. Fully embracing the glitz and glam of Trump's 21st Century second term, prosperity preachers are setting their own political agendas and living the high life with their favorite president, a long way from their impoverished, Depression-Era roots.

The episode examines plans for mass deportation, including proposals involving military contractors and private mercenaries.

For many of these people, theses teachings lead to lasting sexual dysfunction and frustration, undermining attempts to enter into meaningful sexual relationships with others. Why is this? How do we explain it? And why do these effects persist both for people who accept this ideology and for those who reject it? Listen to this week’s episode as Dan explains.
