S7E2: The Disappearing Sister


Listen Later

By the mid-1920s, Aimee Semple McPherson had it all — a megachurch, a radio empire, and a captivated nation. But in May 1926, she vanished. Was she kidnapped? Was it a hoax? Or had she simply run away from it all? This episode also examines the grand jury investigations, ensuing media circus, and, a turning point in Aimee’s ministry — when the lines blur between faith, power, and scandal.
