In 1923, Aimee Semple McPherson founded America's first megachurch, Angelus Temple, in Los Angeles, California. But how did this farm girl from Ontario become the most famous preacher in North America? How did she turn her sermons into showstoppers? And how did she influence the way religion & politics are entangling today? This the first episode in a series that will examine both her rise to fame and her role in one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in American religious history.
