Kenneth Copeland, Bryce Crawford talk prosperity gospel, love of money and apostle Paul
Evangelist and social media influencer Bryce Crawford has landed the first one-on-one scheduled sit-down interview with televangelist Kenneth Copeland in more than 15 years.
In the over two-hour-long podcast, Crawford, 22, told the 89-year-old Copeland he disagreed with the pastor’s trademark “prosperity gospel,” but remained cordial despite the disagreements.
The discussion covers Copeland's childhood in Texas during the Great Depression, meeting and marrying his wife, Gloria, in 1961, and his subsequent conversion and ministry start in the mid-1960s, when he founded Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
It then shifts to deep Bible study on the definition of prosperity, redemption from the curse of the law, tithing, divine health and the “word of faith” teaching.
Here are four highlights from the podcast.
