Prosperity preachers confuse a great deal of people by twisting 2 Corinthians 8:9 to mean that Jesus became poor so we could become financially rich. At first glance, this passage may even appear to be the slam-dunk verse for affirming the prosperity gospel. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks the context and interpretation of this crucial passage so we can apply it faithfully.
Costi W. Hinn serves as the Teaching Pastor of The Shepherd’s House Bible Church in Chandler, Arizona and is the Founder and President of For The Gospel, an online ministry dedicated to providing sound biblical doctrine for everyday people. He is the author of several books, including Knowing the Spirit, God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel, More Than a Healer, and his latest title, Walking in God’s Will. Alongside his wife, Christyne, Costi has co-authored multiple children’s books, including In Jesus’ Name I Pray, The King Who Found His Self-Control, The Farmer Who Chose to Plant Kindness, and a Bible study for kids titled, Earth’s Epic Start: A Bible Study About God’s Creation, our Fall, and His Promises.
Costi is currently completing his doctorate at The Master’s Seminary. He and Christyne are the joyful parents of six children.
