• Escape From the Cult With No Name: Global Missions

  John and Matt discuss growing up in Global Missions, a movement rooted in the Latter Rain revival, and how its doctrines of five-fold ministry, sonship, and prophetic authority shaped their lives. Matt shares what it was like to be born into this third-generation high-control group, his struggles with fear, dating, and suppressed critical thinking, and how he eventually found freedom through outside connections and careful study. Together, they explore how groups attempt to cover up their history, why reformation claims often fail, and how the same mechanisms of authoritarian control can appear in different denominations. The conversation also touches on William Branham's influence, British Israelism, the connection to Jim Jones, and the challenges of trusting God versus human leaders. This heartfelt dialogue offers encouragement to those leaving similar movements and highlights the importance of grounding faith in Christ rather than cult structures. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

• Christian Nationalism: Faith and Politics Collide

  John and Bob dive into one of the most complex and controversial topics of modern faith—Christian nationalism. They trace its deep roots from ancient divine-mandate kingdoms to the Holy Roman Empire, Nazi Germany, and today's New Apostolic Reformation. Along the way, they unpack how faith and politics became dangerously intertwined, forming what John calls "unholy alliances." The conversation moves through biblical history, the transformation Jesus taught, the American founding fathers' debates over faith and governance, and even parallels between Christian and Islamic nationalism. Through humor, candor, and historical insight, John and Bob challenge listeners to separate the kingdom of God from the kingdoms of men—and to rediscover the gospel's call to humility and transformation over dominance and control. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

• When Music Becomes a Weapon: The Hidden Force Behind Charismatic Revival

  John and Christian explore how music shaped the rise of Pentecostal and charismatic movements, tracing its influence from early tent revivals to modern worship concerts. They discuss the psychology of rhythm, the role of instruments like the organ in altering group dynamics, and the way leaders used music to heighten emotional responses during meetings. Drawing on personal stories, historical examples, and biblical references such as Paul's speech in Athens, they highlight how music can connect or divide people, inspire genuine worship, or be weaponized for manipulation. This conversation reveals that while music is often labeled "holy" or "evil," it is ultimately a powerful tool that reflects the intention behind its use. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

• How Cult Leaders Create Sermons: The Illusion of Divine Inspiration

  John and Chino discuss how ministers—especially in destructive or authoritarian movements—actually come up with their sermons. They trace the evolution of "God told me" preaching from early Pentecostalism through Hobart Freeman, William Branham, and the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation. The conversation explores how anger, narcissism, and audience manipulation fuel sermon creation, how topical preaching replaces real study, and how plagiarism, ghostwriting, and emotional theatrics masquerade as divine revelation. Together, they break down examples such as Billy Graham's "Thinking Man's Filter," William Branham's mathematical "chant," and Freeman's claims of prophetic dictation—revealing how these methods shaped entire movements and misled followers who thought they were hearing from God. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

• Touch Not God's Anointed: The Weaponization of Holiness

  John and Jed examine the shocking new Firefly report that brands Mike Bickle—a central figure in the International House of Prayer (IHOPKC)—a chronic sexual predator. They trace how unbiblical ideas of "holiness" and the so-called "Moses model" of leadership create fertile ground for abuse in Pentecostal and charismatic circles. Drawing connections from William Branham's theology to the modern New Apostolic Reformation, they explain how these movements elevate leaders beyond accountability, distort the fruits of the Spirit, and silence whistleblowers under the threat of "touch not God's anointed." Together they discuss IHOP's attempts to erase its past, the continuing danger of its theology, and the likelihood of a new "Joshua figure" rising to carry Bickle's mantle. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
