As the nephew of the world-famous televangelist, Benny Hinn, my guest today has had a front-row

seat to the inner workings of the prosperity gospel.

Today, he talks about the hypocrisy and devastation he witnessed firsthand, as well as his own

personal encounter with the real Jesus Christ. Welcome to the Roy's report,

a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church. I'm Julie Roy's. And today I'm

so excited to speak with Costi Hinn, the nephew of the world famous prosperity preacher

Benny Hinn. Costi now pastors, a Bible church in Arizona, but he grew up in the Hinn family empire,

something he likens to, and I quote, a hybrid of the royal family and the mafia.

Costi says the lifestyle was lavish, flying on private jets, staying in grand resorts,

owning a fleet of Mercedes Benzes, and enjoying the abundant life.

At one time, Costi thought this life was his

divine right as a blessed son of God, but now he believes it was sin based on a false gospel.

I can't wait to get to my interview with Kosti, but I just want to take a second to thank my

sponsors, Judson University and Markport of Barrington. I probably don't say this often enough,

but I could have never launched the Roy's report without the help of Judson University.

They've been great friends, and I have the utmost respect for Judson President Gene Krum

and the administration, faculty, and staff there. If you are looking for a Christian university

known for its biblical values,

leadership opportunities, and strong financial aid, I highly recommend Judson University.

For more information, just go to judsonu.edu. That's judsonu.edu. I also feel the same way

about my other sponsor, Marquard of Barrington.

Dan and Kurt Markort are men of integrity, and they run an honest car dealership.
