Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:

John and Bob Scott discuss wide-ranging topics, including faith, disillusionment, and contemporary Christian movements. The dialogue explores how technological advances allow marginalized voices to challenge entrenched narratives, especially in religious contexts. John and Bob critique the culture of celebrity in faith communities and reflect on personal experiences with systems and movements that prioritize image over authenticity.

They delve into the psychological and societal dynamics within these groups, highlighting how a culture of control and performance stifles individual growth and fosters hypocrisy. The discussion broadens to theological musings on servanthood and love as central tenets of Christianity. The episode ends on a reflective and hopeful note, emphasizing the need for humility, service, and love as guiding principles during the holiday season and beyond.

I love your conversations with Bob. You truly speak the truth in love. on another note my favorite episode was about John Wimber. I got caught up in all that as a very young Christian. Back then I believed that if a person was behind the pulpit he was being biblical. Ten years ago I started to unpack and relearn so much. It was a bit traumatizing to realize how many people I had simply trusted to be true and truthful. You are doing such a good work. I've been saying it for years now, celebrity Christianity is not where it is. So thank you.

[pearlcameron]

Merry chrismas to you all. Love your channel, you have so many fantastic guests. An amazing journey that connects so many dots even for this 66 year old scottish lass who as a child would listen to my aunts and friends discussing an amazing man of God in America (guess

After living at IHOP back in the day


I am now free to follow the real gospel!

[Ruby-wise]

Thank Y’All for this great discussion. Wisdom spoken here!

[lesliewells-igdl]

I'm so glad you are getting your voice back and that you got your voice back when you left the cult!!

[lesliewells-igdl]

I always used to wonder why the preachers would preach about cutting hair and wearing dresses in a church full of women who would never cut their hair or wear pants. But on one podcast, you guys talked about how that reinforces us versus them, and that makes so much sense!!

[onlinechrist]

The christmas music made me laugh :) Thank you and merry christmas!

[lesliewells-igdl]

Yes, the people who have spoken out, including you, john, and you, bob, are very brave!!

[allthingsallmen]

Merry Christmas John! Don't eat that cookie, or buy the shoes! Wait 'til the after Christmas sale! Get a nice pair of gloves on Boxing day!

@4:30 the clarity of the manipulation and blame shifting in the religious cultish community is overt and sadly all to predictable if you become self aware of the tactics, methods and practices used to keep control power and influence at any cost! Oxymoronically they accuse you of having a critical spirit by being analytical and challenging the alleged claims for a Truth basis. They demonize you as an enemy of the religion and God but forget this verse :

In Matthew 12:26, Jesus uses the idea of a divided kingdom to explain his power over demons. Jesus says that if Satan casts out his demons, he would be divided against himself and his kingdom would not stand.

They twist this verse 😂😂😂😂

[lesliewells-igdl]

Thanks for interesting video, John and Bob!!!

[stephaniebarg]

[scottbousha]

[samuelflores]

Great conversation, God bless you both. Merry Christmas to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. To God be all the Glory!

[derdeolifant]

On the closing remarks. Love is really important: the whole law is summarised by this one word. But the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. It is faith in Christ that saves: he saves us himself, and we do not save ourselves by our own love - and that is good news! Merry Christmas!

[crystalsecor]

Can we talk about that beginning music transition 🤣
