Former NAR Insiders Expose the System From the Inside

John talks with Vincent and Judith Desjardins about their journey through the Jesus Movement, shepherding structures, Word of Faith circles, prophetic networks, and later New Apostolic Reformation influences. They describe how end-times excitement, promises of spiritual significance, and teachings on authority drew them into controlling ministries that reshaped family life, church culture, and their understanding of Christian faith. Together they explore themes including fear-based leadership, healing culture, platform-building, prophetic celebrity, Brian Simmons, Lance Wallnau, Lou Engle, Todd Bentley, and the recurring pattern of rebranded revival movements. The conversation also examines how charisma, ambition, and extra-biblical claims can flourish where there is little accountability, while offering encouragement to listeners processing similar experiences. ______________________ 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
