The Gospel of Confusion in the NAR
23/05/2026 | 1 h 1 min
John talks with Peter and Amanda Hartzell of Grace with Conviction about leaving New Apostolic Reformation theology, recognizing the difference between biblical Christianity and religious hype, and learning to read Scripture without fear-based manipulation. Their story traces connections between the Latter Rain movement, IHOPKC, Bethel, Sean Feucht, the house of prayer model, prophetic ministry culture, and the works-based systems that often replace the finished work of Christ.

The conversation explores how phrases like Tabernacle of David, touch not the Lord's anointed, Jezebel spirit, anointing, spiritual warfare, and revival can become buzzwords that obscure Scripture instead of clarifying it. John, Peter, and Amanda discuss biblical literacy, false authority structures, the problem of untouchable leaders, and the freedom that comes when Christians rest in Christ rather than chasing power, influence, signs, wonders, or spiritual status.
Charismatic Worship, False Gospels, And The Music That Shapes Belief
22/05/2026 | 55 min
John Collins sits down with John and Barbara Morton to trace how modern charismatic worship culture shapes belief, emotion, and church life. Drawing from their years on a worship team, they describe how music from movements tied to Bethel, Hillsong, Elevation, Vineyard, and related streams can carry theological assumptions that many listeners never notice at first.

The discussion explores worship as doctrine, the emotional power of repetition, spiritual warfare culture, personal revelation, prophetic influence, and the shift from performance-driven worship to Scripture-centered church life. Along the way, they reflect on leaving a charismatic environment, reevaluating familiar songs, and rebuilding a more grounded understanding of worship, theology, and the Christian life.

The Deliverance Ministry Trap- Trauma, Shame, And Spiritual Abuse
21/05/2026 | 1 h 2 min
John and Frannie examine the world of deliverance ministry, spiritual warfare, and charismatic healing culture through personal experience, historical context, and concern for people wounded by fear-based religious systems. They discuss how trauma, anxiety, shame, depression, and unresolved pain can be reframed as demons, curses, witchcraft, or spiritual attacks, leaving people trapped in cycles of fear instead of finding real help.

The conversation also explores William Branham, Gordon Lindsay, John Alexander Dowie, IHOPKC, Morningstar, Todd Bentley, Bob Jones, Rick Joyner, and the broader charismatic systems that normalized deliverance culture. John and Frannie ask whether ministries claiming to heal people have safeguards for trauma, whether untrained leaders should handle serious mental health struggles, and why therapy, stability, and honest care can become threatening inside high-control religious environments.

How False Prophets Keep Their Influence
20/05/2026 | 57 min
John Collins and John McKinnon examine why people remain loyal to prophetic movements even after clear failures, contradictions, and broken predictions. They trace how false prophecy becomes tied to identity, belonging, pride, sacrifice, and fear, making it emotionally and socially costly for followers to walk away.

They also connect those patterns to modern charismatic and apostolic culture, showing how failed predictions, special revelation claims, church isolation, and leader-centered authority can keep entire groups locked into error. The discussion explores William Branham, the Message, and the wider environment that helped shape later movements built on prophetic certainty and spiritual elitism.

Shotgun Faith: How Tragedy Changed His Theology
19/05/2026 | 54 min
John and Chuck examine faith healing, medical neglect, cult psychology, and the doctrines that kept people trapped inside the Freeman and Faith Assembly world. Through firsthand stories about chronic illness, allergy treatment, rejected medicine, and a self-inflicted hunting accident, they explore how healing theology shaped daily life and why so many remained committed even when the promises failed.

The discussion also looks at pride, indoctrination, emotional manipulation, education, and the long process of deconstruction after leaving a high-control religious movement. Along the way, John and Chuck connect personal experience to broader Pentecostal and charismatic history, showing how extreme healing doctrine can distort faith, conscience, and common sense.

Acerca de William Branham Historical Research Podcast

The William Branham Historical Research Podcast investigates the life, teachings, and legacy of healing evangelist William Branham—one of the most influential and controversial figures of the 20th-century Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. Hosted by researcher John Collins, the series documents Branham's public record with verifiable sources: sermons, newspapers, archival materials, and eyewitness accounts. Each episode examines how his message evolved—from early Pentecostal roots to apocalyptic mysticism—and how his ideas shaped movements such as the Latter Rain, Deliverance revival, and today's New Apostolic Reformation. This is not an exposé or a sermon. It's a historical investigation: one that follows the evidence wherever it leads. Whether you're a former Message believer, a student of revival history, or simply curious about how spiritual movements grow and fracture, this podcast offers a clear, factual lens into a story that continues to shape modern faith and culture.
