Mega-church leader Kirby John Caldwell returns to the pulpit after serving time for a $3.6 million wire fraud scheme involving selling worthless Chinese bonds as investments. The hosts dissect the stunning hypocrisy and grifting required to defraud one’s own flock, only to be welcomed back with a standing ovation. This highlights the endemic problem of unchecked financial abuse within religious institutions and the manipulation strategies used by clergy and their families to maintain control over vulnerable, often uneducated congregations in places like the Deep South.
