In this episode, I sit down with one of my favorite YouTube creators, Thomas Westbrook of Holy Koolaid, who’s been tackling the modern faith healing movement in America. We dive deep into the fraudulent world of faith healers, exploring how these so-called miracles are orchestrated, the origins of the movement, and the devastating scams that have come to light. We also uncover the psychological and neurological impacts on those seeking healing, examining how the brain can be manipulated into believing the impossible. Finally, we take a look at the political power televangelists wield and how their influence reaches far beyond the pulpit.
