Escaping The Cave: Pia Hugo On Harvest Rock, and Spiritual Abuse
27-04-2026 | 58 Min.
John and Pia Hugo discuss Pia's experiences in Harvest Rock Church, her reflections on New Apostolic Reformation culture, and the long-term effects of spiritual abuse, authoritarian leadership, and enforced submission. The conversation explores how control can shape a person's thinking, how fear and loyalty keep people inside harmful systems, and why listening to conscience matters when something feels wrong.

They also examine spiritual covering, apostolic authority, charismatic culture, YWAM, deconstruction, and recovery after religious harm. Pia connects her personal journey to her present work serving abused women and children in the Philippines, while John adds historical context about Pentecostal and charismatic movements, religious control, and the patterns that repeat across generations.

John Wimber, Church Music, and the Road To The NAR
25-04-2026 | 58 Min.
John and Bruce trace the cultural and spiritual shifts that changed church music from hymns and organs to emotionally driven worship built around guitars, performance, and mass appeal. Along the way, they examine John Wimber's role in the Righteous Brothers, his conversion, his influence at Calvary Chapel Yorba Linda, and the larger musical trends that helped prepare audiences for the Jesus Movement and later charismatic expressions.
The discussion also explores how biblical themes appeared in mainstream rock before the Jesus Movement, how music can shape emotion and group psychology, and how those dynamics contributed to later religious developments tied to Vineyard, healing culture, and the New Apostolic Reformation. With personal reflections, historical examples, and movement analysis, John and Bruce consider whether modern worship became a vehicle for spiritual formation or a shortcut that opened the door to manipulation.

From Assemblies Of God To An African End-Time Prophet
24-04-2026 | 52 Min.
John invites David to share his journey from the Assemblies of God into an international prophetic healing movement that claimed supernatural authority, modern apostleship, and end-time fulfillment. He explains how teachings about tongues, holiness, dominion theology, and five-fold ministry prepared him to accept increasingly dramatic prophetic claims.

Together they examine how charismatic structures can shift into authoritarian control, how miracle culture shapes belief, and how false hope surrounding healing—especially involving autism—can deeply affect families. This discussion explores Pentecostal history, prophetic movements, and the warning signs of personality-driven ministries.

How the UK Charismatic Movement Diverged From America’s NAR
22-04-2026 | 55 Min.
John speaks with Richard Bowker, a former Jehovah's Witness, about his journey through the Witnesses, Reformed Christianity, and the UK charismatic world. Together they compare Jehovah's Witnesses, Branhamism, restorationism, shepherding, and British charismatic renewal, exploring how control, revivalism, and end-times obsession shaped very different religious environments.

The discussion also examines key figures and movements connected to UK charismatic history, including Ern Baxter, Derek Prince, Terry Virgo, John Wimber, Paul Cain, New Wine, and the wider influence of American restorationist and shepherding ideas. Richard offers a rare British perspective on how revival culture, church authority, spiritual abuse, and kingdom-business thinking developed in the UK compared with the more openly political New Apostolic Reformation in the United States.

Over 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.
