Sean Williams: 本期节目探讨了巴西五旬节派运动中发生的谋杀案，以及该运动中存在的犯罪和暴力问题。 Elle Hardy: 巴西著名福音派牧师安德森·杜卡莫·德苏扎被杀案，揭示了蓬勃发展的五旬节派运动中存在的犯罪和暴力问题。安德森的妻子弗洛尔·德利什·多斯桑托斯最终被判犯有谋杀罪。此案牵涉到复杂的家庭关系、权力斗争和政治因素。调查显示，安德森的死并非简单的抢劫案，而是精心策划的谋杀。弗洛尔利用其在议会中的地位企图逃避责任。 Elle Hardy: 五旬节派是福音派的一个分支，其快速增长，尤其是在发展中国家，对政治、文化和社会产生了深远的影响。五旬节派运动提供健康、财富和真实性这三大吸引力，吸引了大量信徒。然而，这种快速增长也伴随着一些负面现象，例如犯罪和暴力。并非所有五旬节派牧师都富有，但一些牧师利用其宗教地位谋取私利，甚至与有组织犯罪集团勾结。
