Reviewing 'The Religion Business' Docuseries

What happens when faith meets finance? In this episode of Remnant Radio, we dig deep into The Religion Business to call balls & strikes on the claims made in the docuseries.

The Religion Business, a seven-part investigative documentary by Nathan Apffel and Chris Ayoub, examines corruption, financial secrecy, and ethical failures in megachurches and prosperity gospel ministries. It explores issues such as religious fraud, lack of accountability, extravagant spending by religious leaders, tax-loopholes for churches, and how donors are impacted by opaque financial practices.

In our review, we’ll discuss the strongest arguments the film makes about churches and finances as well as examine parts we believe are over-generalized or under-substantiated.
