Episode 100: Jonestown Part 1 | The Making of a Messiah
Manage episode 518878078 series 3686045
Before the world knew his name, Jim Jones was just a small-town preacher with a big vision. He spoke about justice, equality, and love when few others dared to — drawing in crowds who saw him as a voice for the forgotten. But behind the sermons and the smiles was a man driven by something more than faith.
In Part One, we explore the rise of Jim Jones — his early life, his calling to ministry, and how his hunger to lead began to blur the lines between pastor and prophet.
