Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Programming and Theology
In late November 2007, Mike Huckabee, a 2008 Republican presidential primary candidate, made six appearances on Copeland's daily television program Believer's Voice of Victory, discussing "Integrity of Character". Subsequently, in January 2008, the Huckabee campaign paid for use of Kenneth Copeland Ministries' facilities for a fundraiser. The fundraising at the church was criticized by the Trinity Foundation.
Copeland's ministries encompass a wide variety of activities. “The breadth of Copeland’s activities can be seen in the following comment to Senator Grassley: ‘Multiple ‘assumed’ or ‘doing business as’ names were also used. For example, we found at least 21 ‘assumed names’ registered with the State of Texas for Eagle Mountain International Church (also known as Kenneth Copeland Ministries).”

“Few can believe that suffering, especially by others, is in vain. Anything that is disagreeable must surely have beneficial economic effects.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
