Every Megachurch Copied His Playbook. Then His Own Family Destroyed Him In Court.

Every Megachurch Copied His Playbook. Then His Own Family Destroyed Him In Court. Robert Schuller built the Crystal Cathedral debt-free with $18 million in donations. By 2010, it carried $43 million in mortgage debt and filed for bankruptcy. In just 3 years, the father of the megachurch movement lost his church, his family, and his legacy. This video documents how: • Schuller's son was fired after 2 years as senior pastor • His daughter filed bankruptcy 3 months after taking over • The family sued each other in federal court • Crystal Cathedral was sold to the Catholic Church for $57.5 million • Schuller was removed from his own board and testified against his own ministry • His funeral was held outside the building he built because it was closed for Catholic renovation From the drive-in theater in 1955 to the Crystal Cathedral bankruptcy in 2010, this is the rise and fall of Robert Schuller—told through court records, bankruptcy filings, and public documents.
