Weird Doctrines: From Sacred To Strange

Weird Doctrines: From Sacred To Strange is a grab-bag exploration of the beliefs, stories, and subcultures that live at the edge of religion, folklore, and pop culture. One episode might trace a fringe teaching or prophetic claim; the next might jump into UFO lore, urban legends, oddball history, or why a pinball machine can become a cultural time capsule.Expect curious questions, careful sourcing, and a mix of humor and seriousness where it matters. If it has ever made you say, "Wait... people really believed that?"—it belongs here.Views expressed by guests or co-hosts are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of Derby Media Group LLC.Legal: https://www.william-branham.org/site/legal
