John Collins and Jon Sawyer discuss the ongoing influence of William Branham in contemporary religious and political circles, particularly through the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). The conversation centers on how key figures, such as Lance Wallnau and Roberts Liardon, continue to promote Branham’s teachings while intertwining them with political ideology. The discussion highlights the resurgence of Liardon despite past controversies, including his involvement in scandal and exile from leadership networks. They explore how the concepts from Branhamism, such as dominion theology and the Seven Mountain Mandate, have shaped modern Christian nationalism, influencing both religious and political landscapes.

The episode delves into the historical connections between figures like William T. Frary von Blomberg, Branham’s campaign manager, and their roles in expanding influence through organizations such as the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship. They also analyze the use of personal prophecy, emotional manipulation, and the financial motivations behind figures like Wallnau, who promoted Donald Trump’s presidency with the sale of symbolic coins. The conversation underscores the hypocrisy within these movements, where failed prophecies are continually excused, and figures accused of misconduct are reinstated. Throughout, they critique the “God’s Generals” books as revisionist propaganda, shaping a misleading narrative about these religious figures’ influence and legacy.
