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 well aware and the people who are behind this did this to attack Tebow's beliefs in an attempt to de-legitimize them. Disgusting and one of the reason people hate media, doubt their accuracy and are moving away from using these bigger media outlets as their sources.


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.
