The Pastor Who Asked God to Kill Him If He Didn't Get $8 Million

In January 1987, a televangelist climbed into a glowing prayer tower in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and told America that God would take his life if $8 million wasn't raised by March 31st. This documentary traces the real story behind that moment — from a 1952 self-help book that quietly reshaped American faith, to tent revivals, the rise of television ministry, and the birth of "Seed Faith" giving. We follow the record without judgment: who gave, who doubted, and the unlikely donor who changed everything. This is the story of how one idea grew bigger than the man who first gave it a stage — and why its echo is still shaping churches today. #OralRoberts #TelevangelistHistory #AmericanChristianity #ChurchHistory #FaithHistory #ProsperityGospel #SeedFaith #ReligiousHistory #TheCaelustra #ChristianDocumentary
