Summary

Today, we sit down with Christian content creator April Chapman to discuss her journey from the prosperity gospel to a biblically grounded faith, her path to healing after abortions, and how she navigates racial and political divides as a believer. April shares about her upbringing in New York City, her exposure to the prosperity gospel at a megachurch, and the transformative moment she encountered the true gospel. She opens up about the pain of her past abortions and how she confronted her sin and found healing through God’s grace. We also explore her rejection of "racial reconciliation" narratives that elevate ethnic distinctions over gospel unity. How can Christians celebrate our God-given differences without falling into division or ethnic idolatry?

0:07.1	Why does it seem like the prosperity gospel is especially prominent in black majority churches?
0:16.0	Oh, my goodness, I fielded all kinds of accusations.
0:19.4	But there was one commentator who stuck up for me. And she gave
0:23.7	me her perspective. And that is April Chapman. She had an incredible video on this subject. And I wanted
