John and Annalise discuss her harrowing experience at the House of Prayer in Atlanta, a sister ministry of IHOP Kansas City. Annalise recounts how she went from a hopeful young dancer seeking community to enduring a life-threatening medical crisis while being pressured to perform in worship. Her powerful testimony exposes how some leaders suppress stories that do not fit their preferred "miracle" narrative and how this left her isolated, disillusioned, yet ultimately stronger in faith. The conversation highlights the dangers of spiritual abuse and challenges the church to respond with compassion and integrity. ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Unmasking Global Missions: From Sharon Orphanage to Modern NAR
John and Matthew revisit the deep and often overlooked history of the Global Missions movement and its ties to Sharon Orphanage and the 1948 Latter-Rain Revival. Matthew, a former member, shares firsthand insights about growing up under the group's culture of "prophetic history" and its fixation on ongoing revelation. Together they examine the roots of this theology in Branhamism, the hidden influence of early founders like Eric Holt, George Houghton, and Percy Hunt, and how editing and distributing recorded sermons shaped the movement's beliefs. They also discuss the broader restorationist mindset that underpins much of the New Apostolic Reformation and why it continues to attract followers today. This candid conversation sheds light on the long-term dangers of replacing the sufficiency of Scripture with leaders who claim to reveal divine mysteries.______________________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

Manifest Sons Return: Dean Briggs, Lou Engle, and Dominion Now
John, Kevin, and Barbara expose the spiritual and political machinery behind the so-called "Communion Revival" led by Lou Engle, Dean Briggs, and Chris Berglund. They trace how Manifest Sons of God theology from William Branham and the Latter Rain revival evolved into today's New Apostolic Reformation—with its Dominion Now teachings, manipulation of Gen Z, and exploitation of women. Together they unpack how a movement once claiming to bring unity and revival instead breeds hierarchy, nationalism, and theological corruption. The discussion moves from Nixon-era politics and charismatic propaganda to modern platforms like Awaken the Dawn, revealing a pattern of humanizing Christ, hero-worshiping leaders, and silencing victims—all under the banner of revival.______________________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

The Prophet Who Wouldn’t Speak: Prophetic Mystery Words and Incantations
John and Chino expose the dangerous theology of Hobart Freeman, tracing his teachings back to William Branham's pattern of secrecy and manipulation. They discuss Freeman's claims of a "12-word revelation," his insistence that only one man held the true end-time faith message, and the psychological grip these ideas held over followers. The conversation connects the dots between Branham's "three high words," Freeman's mysterious visions, and the modern culture of prophetic elitism that still echoes in the New Apostolic Reformation.This episode invites listeners to reconsider how claims of hidden revelation and exclusive authority distort the humility and servant leadership modeled by Christ. ______________________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

Robert Morris – How "Spoken Word" Theology Revived Branham's Heresy
John Collins traces the disturbing historical and theological roots linking William Branham's teachings to modern megachurch culture through Robert Morris and Gateway Church. Drawing from detailed research, he shows how Branham's "spoken word" doctrine and authoritarian "Moses model" structure evolved into today's New Apostolic Reformation, creating a cycle where abusive leaders are elevated again and again. John explores how figures like Roy E. Davis, Gordon Lindsay, and Jack Hayford bridged these movements—from early Christian Identity and Latter Rain to the prosperity gospel and NAR. This episode exposes how Branham's anti-biblical view of Christ as a "spoken manifestation" echoes directly in Robert Morris's sermons, proving that cultic theology can resurface even in the largest churches of modern evangelicalism. ______________________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
