When Deliverance Looks Like Shamanism: A Former Insider Speaks Out

John Collins speaks with Eve, a former participant in charismatic and deliverance movements, about her journey through healing ministries, prophetic practices, and ecstatic worship—and how those experiences ultimately led her out of Christianity and into shamanism before a slow, painful return to a simpler faith. Eve describes the psychological impact of trance-based worship, healing crusades, prophetic art, and deliverance practices, drawing parallels between modern charismatic experiences and ancient ritual techniques designed to suspend critical thinking. Together, John and Eve examine how figures associated with healing revivals and deliverance culture shaped expectations of miracles, identity, and spiritual success, and why those systems often collapse under real-world suffering, unanswered prayers, and unmet promises. The conversation explores cult markers, mind-control techniques, loaded language, and the long process of rebuilding faith after spiritual disillusionment, offering insight for anyone questioning charismatic theology or recovering from high-control religious environments. ______________________ 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
