Tammy Adkins preaches the prosperity gospel, the belief that everyone who participates in Christian worship properly will become financially wealthy. Her church believes that “Prosperity is a covenant right and is available to everyone who has been born-again and therefore entered into that covenant in the blood of Jesus Christ.”

Tammy Adkins is pastor at the Real Life Church in Bettendorf, Iowa.
