Jim Bakker
Jim Bakker remains one of the OG's of televangelist grifters.
From the PTL ministry's collapse to his many criminal convictions, he has failed himself through his relentless need to grift and make money from well-meaning people. As he nears the end of his life, he continues to beg other people for money instead of doing something more noble. What a huge, embarrassing failure! But we shouldn’t feel sorry for him. We need to stop people like this from taking advantage of our neighbors. After all, aren’t we supposed to love and protect them?

While many of us yearn for truth and understanding, the systems we participate in often prevent us from attaining genuine freedom in our everyday lives. As we move away from organized religion, we begin to recognize patterns. We believe that addressing many of these challenges requires us to examine all aspects of our lives, including:
* Toxic Leaders
* Toxic/Dangerous Organizations
* Our Mental Well-Being
* The Things We Learn on the Journey
Regardless of your belief system, we encourage you to unlearn anything that doesn’t benefit you. This will lead to healing and uncover a new way forward!
