Bethel Shopping Network: The Marketing of Modern Revival

John and Adam dive deep into the growing commercialization of Bethel Church, exposing how its conferences, subscriptions, merchandise, and even a dating app reflect more of a shopping network than a house of worship. From inflated costs to questionable data practices, they highlight how spiritual life has been packaged and sold for profit. Drawing parallels to William Branham, Branhamism, and other cult dynamics, the discussion uncovers how monetization strategies blur the line between ministry and manipulation. The conversation also unpacks troubling doctrinal trends, including Bethel's use of new age terminology like "Christ consciousness" and how hierarchical leadership structures mirror Masonic and cult-like models. With personal insight into business operations, IT security, and church finance, John and Adam expose both the practical dangers of poor accountability and the theological dangers of a man-made religion that replaces the free gift of grace with hype and hierarchy. ______________________ 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
