Episode 14 - God Is Expensive: The Psychology of Megachurches
36m | Sep 16, 2026Megachurches promise more than a Sunday sermon. They offer community, purpose, salvation — and, apparently, enough donations for a private jet.
In this episode, we unpack the psychology of megachurches: why charismatic leaders are so persuasive, why thousands of people worshipping together can feel so powerful, and what authority bias, the halo effect, prosperity theology and Taylor Swift concerts have to do with it. Plus, we build our perfect pastors and ask why giving 10% of your income feels different when God is involved.
