Searching For The Truth In Pentecostal History
11/07/2026 | 58 min
John and Andrew explore the hidden history of Pentecostalism, the Independent Assemblies of God, the PAOC, Myrtle Beall, George Hawtin, and the New Order of the Latter Rain. Andrew shares how family history, church memory, prophecy, and Canadian Pentecostal roots led him to question what was inherited, what was biblical, and what may have quietly continued into modern charismatic and New Apostolic Reformation circles.

The discussion examines how movements build entire systems of belief from loaded phrases, prophecy stories, personal experience, and verses taken outside their original setting. From Azusa Street and early Pentecostal splits to Latter Rain influence in local churches, the conversation asks how Christians can separate genuine faith from inherited religious systems, historical gaps, and spiritual authority claims.

How Apologetics Exposes Extra-Biblical Pentecostal Beliefs
10/07/2026 | 54 min
John and Garrett examine why apologetics matters for people emerging from Pentecostal, charismatic, and cult-like religious environments. They explore how fear-based teaching, extra-biblical traditions, and authoritarian leadership can distort salvation, spiritual experience, prophecy, and the role of questioning in the Christian life.
They also discuss speaking in tongues, healing claims, deliverance ministries, and the difference between biblical discipleship and emotional dependency. Along the way, they argue that healthy faith is not threatened by context, history, or careful study, and that honest questions can help rebuild trust in Scripture after spiritual abuse.

Cover-Up Culture in Charismatic Churches
09/07/2026 | 1 h
John and Bob discuss why cover-up culture develops inside charismatic and Pentecostal movements. Rather than placing the entire problem on fallen leaders alone, they explore how loyalty, shame, prophecy, hype, spiritual hierarchy, and "man of God" theology can cause entire communities to protect leaders even after serious failures.

They compare Catholic and Protestant abuse scandals, discuss the Moses model, the "touch not God's anointed" mindset, the role of the entourage, embellished revival stories, prophetic history, and the difference between criticism and healthy critique.

Azusa History Overturned: The Parhamite Roots
08/07/2026 | 56 min
Was Azusa Street really the starting point of modern Pentecostalism, or was it part of a larger movement already shaped by Charles Fox Parham?
In this episode, John Collins traces the relationship between Charles Fox Parham, William J. Seymour, the Apostolic Faith movement, early Pentecostal restorationism, healing revival networks, Latter Rain theology, and the later New Apostolic Reformation.
This episode argues that many modern apostolic and prophetic movements are not new at all, but evolved from older Parhamite restorationist ideas.

Called to Preach or Called to Perform
07/07/2026 | 1 h 1 min
John and Chino examine the supernatural origin stories used by healing evangelists, prophetic ministers, and later charismatic leaders to authenticate their ministries. From William Branham's birth-light story to Kenneth Hagin's death-and-hell testimony, Oral Roberts' 900-foot Jesus, and Hobart Freeman's personal prophecy from Anna Schrader, the discussion traces how extraordinary claims became a substitute for character, study, accountability, and biblical qualification.

The conversation also explores Hobart Freeman's contradiction: he warned against personal prophecy, yet his own ministry was shaped by one — and he later gave personal prophecies to family members, including Bruce Kinsey. The result was a system where ministers validated one another, prophecy replaced discernment, and followers were left carrying the spiritual damage.

This episode asks a hard question: when every preacher needs a supernatural origin story, who is checking whether the call is real?

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.
