Ep. 109-Jim And Tammy Faye Bakker and the PTL Scandal

In the 1980s, televangelist Jim Bakker had grown an impressive broadcasting empire along with his wife, Tammy Faye. Their organization, PTL, built a Christian-theme park on the border between North and South Carolina and the two lived a lavish lifestyle. But behind the scenes, the Bakkers were struggling with marital issues, hoping that material possessions would fill the empty places still in their hearts. Then, a sex scandal opened the doors for the government to begin examining the inner workings of the PTL's finances.
