Forensic Friday episodes

  • Megachurch Madness

    Learn more about the psychology behind the cyclical nature of megachurch scandals. In this episode, we examine red flags, rockstar pastors, and the financial dysfunction that tends to cause megachurches to implode over time. While these dynamics are not uncommon in public corporations, it is far more damaging when it involves a person's community, spirituality and belief system. We hope this episode brings some measure of healing for those "disgruntled pelicans" among us.
