The Prosperity Gospel Didn’t Start Where You Think

John traces the roots of the prosperity gospel through John Alexander Dowie, E.W. Kenyon, F.F. Bosworth, William Branham, Oral Roberts, T.L. Osborn, A.A. Allen, the Voice of Healing movement, and the rise of faith-healing fundraising. The discussion examines how religious claims, healing campaigns, donor networks, media platforms, and revival circuits helped shape the health-and-wealth message long before many modern audiences associate it with Word of Faith teachers.

The episode also explores how postwar healing revivals, Full Gospel Business Men connections, televangelism, seed-faith teaching, and competing ministry brands turned prosperity theology into a powerful religious economy.
