96. Is The Prosperity Gospel Biblical?

Word of Faith, Name It and Claim It, Seed Faith, or Prosperity Gospel. A lot of different names for the same theology...but is it biblical?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the meaning of the prosperity gospel, some of its biggest leaders, and some of the history of the movement. Some of the biggest churches in America and the most well known preachers have prosperity theology, so we seek to define what it is and compare it to ALL of Scripture. We hope that as you listen, you will come away with a clearer understanding of why this theology is dangerous and why it is contrary to the Gospel of Jesus in many ways.

The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth.
