He preached about giving, about sowing seeds, and about “connecting to grace.” But in truth, he sold salvation like a brand and turned the pulpit into a stage for manipulation. His followers adored him. They defended him fiercely online, quoting his words as if they were scripture. “Touch not my anointed,” they’d say. Yet, behind the altar, the anointed was touching everything—money, lies, and souls. Inside his office, miracles had a price tag. Wan...
