This American Life: "Heretics"

The 2018 movie Come Sunday tells the real-life story of Carlton Pearson, a Christian minister in the Pentecostal church who started Azusa, which has been dubbed "the South by Southwest of gospel music." Pearson is infamously known for saying that everyone gets into heaven, even those who didn't believe in Jesus. In 2005, This American Life covered his story in the episode "Heretics," and later produced the underrated Netflix film about his life. The latter stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Martin Sheen, Jason Segel, Lakeith Stanfield, Condola Rashad, and Danny Glover.

Listen to "Heretics" now.
