Before the world knew his name, Jim Jones was just a small-town preacher with a big vision. He spoke about justice, equality, and love when few others dared to drawing in crowds who saw him as a voice for the forgotten. But behind the sermons and the smiles was a man driven by something more than faith. In Part One, we explore the rise of Jim Jones his early life, his calling to ministry, and how his hunger to lead began to blur the lines between pastor and prophet.
