Resurrecting the Fallen: The Bickle Family Cult Psychology
from William Branham Historical Research Podcast
John and Bob discuss a recent public message delivered by Mike Bickle's sister, Lisa Stribbling, which sparked a wave of emotional and theological reactions. Drawing from years of firsthand experience inside charismatic movements, John and Bob unpack the underlying psychological, spiritual, and familial dynamics at play. They reflect on the weight of spiritual authority, cultic mindsets, and the impact of charisma-driven leadership within religious communities, particularly when scandal strikes. The conversation moves between personal stories and historical parallels, drawing comparisons between Branhamism and IHOP KC. They explore the role of family loyalty in enabling dysfunction, the dangers of suppressing critique within religious environments, and how belief systems can shape reality even in the face of moral failure. They end by expressing deep concern for those still trapped in high-control systems and consider how public accountability and spiritual restoration must be thoughtfully and responsibly navigated. ______________________ 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
