This one isn't it.


Might not be as high profile, but I'll be interested to see what comes of it. I keep seeing the ads on this, they are comping to Tampa later this year, and I've been surprised at some of the people I see associated with it. Accounts from people that go say you pay a small amount for the 1 or 3 day event but the entire time they are trying to get you to pay thousands more for the more in depth program.

I don't see how this is a crime, evangelicals love to throw their money away like this.

Any movement that advertises to be Christian that is associated with money, I'm already on high alert. It's a fine line between teaching biblical responsibility with your assets and prosperity gospel.

Met Tebow multiple times. Been around for hours behind the scenes. He's never been anything but overly nice. So nice that it feels like an act.

His handler was also a total a-hole.


Tebow might be genuine, but seems like he might be a pretty idiot that can be manipulated into peddling anything.

That's how I've always seen Tebow.

I don't have anything against him personally, but he's clearly pretty dim and open to....suggestion. I think what he does is genuine, internally, but manipulated, externally.

Him and Dungy are essentially who you go to if you want to gain legitimacy with evangelicals.

"If Tony and Tim are involved...."


ETA And anyone involved with Duck Dynasty.

This seems like one of those Gospel of Prosperity type things. Tebow might have been just paid to give a talk. Was he involved in the sales pitch?


A new video just popped up on my feed and he was going hard on the sales pitch.

“I’m not talking about giving what is extra. That’s is easy. I’m talking about giving to god the things that are hard to give up. You might be saying no I don’t want to give this up god. But are you trusting god?” That type of stuff. Pretty disgusting.

Did he know of the predatory nature of the thing? He might just be a useful idiot.


Not sure. But he obviously knew he needed to sell it. Not sure if he knew they were out there approving new credit cards so people could donate more and helping people take out home equity loans to donate.

I’m a Christian and always liked Tebow. Nothing about this is Christian. This is the kind of stuff in Jesus day that he would have overturned the tables of the money lenders and cleansed the temple. The more I learn about it the more it pisses me off. Just scumbag behavior and greed.

His assistant/handler was a former Auburn Punter. Super creepy, televangelist type vibe. Supposedly they met at one of those mega convention, hand in the air, type events. Again, total a-hole.

The whole thing felt like something out of Get Out or Stepford Wives. Not a genuine, natural, unforced moment at all. Tebow almost came across like he was under some type of hypnotism mind control like he had no original thoughts and had been programmed how to act since he was a kid.

Was the polar opposite of someone like the Mannings behind the scenes. Authentic, genuinely funny, self-aware, regular people.

I mean, he could be happy in his relationship with God without bilking common folk.

Tebow has always come across as a bit naive. Easy to think that's what happened here. He got convinced it was to help people better there lives. If it turns out he was in on it that's a different beast. I always thought some dark shite would come out about Tebow but he's constantly disproved my expectations.

Also, how were these guys helping people get approved for 25k Amex on the spot, isn't that a bit odd

His handler’s father is a preacher. He friended me on Facebook when somebody put me on their prayer list after I was hurt in a car wreck. I appreciated the prayers, but I never heard from him directly so I don’t know what the motive there was. He just seems like a weird guy. I’ve heard around that he believes everybody not a Baptist is going to Hell.

I ended up muting or blocking him at some point because I’m not a member of his church and I got tired of the my son works for Tebow and I go to Israel every six months content.

Also, I’ve never seen a guy abandon the pulpit to go compete in fishing tournaments or go watch the Braves play as fast as that guy does.

ETA: As far as Tebow goes, I don’t know. He seems more like a useful idiot than the actual problem. It’s hard to discern which though, because he’s been a PR robot for two decades now.

This guy clearly took on $25k in credit card debt for the Tebow classes. Though, he might be closer to God now.

Mega churches have been slimy since the beginning of time.

This is just a way for the enlightened crowd like Torre to hate on faith. And any actual person based in faith should be against these rackets.

In short, this is bullshite click bait that doesn’t actually tell us anything we didn’t already know

Agreed.

Except that Tebow is a scumbag. I didn't know he was involved in this crap. Used to kind of like the guy and thought he was maybe genuine but he's clearly not.

Looks like an admin must have donated because this got an anchor

I'm not sure why this question is even being asked. He is the best angle for the story since he is supposed to be the most morally righteous of that group.
