Jim Bakker rose from a young preacher to one of America’s most powerful televangelists, building a massive religious broadcasting empire and Heritage USA, a Christian theme park that attracted millions of visitors.
But behind the television cameras was a financial system that prosecutors said depended on promises that could never be fulfilled. Thousands of viewers purchased lifetime partnerships, believing they were securing annual hotel stays. Instead, the scheme helped fuel a financial collapse that eventually led to a federal fraud conviction and prison sentence.
In this documentary, we examine Jim Bakker’s rise, the PTL Club, Heritage USA, the lifetime partnership scheme, the scandal that brought his empire down, his conviction, and his controversial return to television decades later.
We also look at the broader question: How can religious authority create an environment where financial misconduct can continue for years before anyone intervenes?
This video is part of our series examining controversial religious leaders, alleged cult-like organizations, financial scandals, and the abuse of trust in America.
