This right here is why atheism is gaining traction in the United States. Them being rich isn't the problem here. The problem is that they are rich off of the backs of their own religious brothers and sisters. Personally I believe a pastor should be as wealthy as the poorest and most impoverished member of the congregation so that they may save whatever resources their church gains to uplift everybody equally. All I saw in this show was a bunch of sinners uplift themselves in God's name no less. Tsk tsk.

For me it was a reminder of the scripture that tells me not to judge. Who am i to concern myself with how big their house is or how many cars they own. Every church should elders...deacons...or someone that handles the church finances...my church would vpte on the pastors wages. A pastor is commissioned to teach us jesus...if he's not doing his job God will deal with that person. If ur offended turn it off as for me I'm hoping to see good Godly men reach more people.

If you have strong feelings about this show, good or bad; your being controlled by the producers. I've met one of these guys and what's being depicted, though not totally false, is very much edited. Christian means Christ like, not Christ. These are men with flaws selling you the exploitation of such. Buy or don't but, don't powerlessy criticize what "we the people" have allowed entertainment to become. Eh..
