John and Chino discuss the rise of Hobart Freeman's divine healing doctrine, tracing how promises of perfect faith and freedom from medicine evolved into fear, control, and devastating outcomes. Through firsthand testimony, recorded sermons, and documented contradictions between teaching and practice, they examine how extreme theology reshaped lives, silenced questions, and reframed suffering as spiritual failure.

This conversation explores the psychological and spiritual mechanisms that sustain high-control religious systems, including cognitive dissonance, leader immunity, and myth-making after a leader's death. By focusing on verifiable facts rather than speculation, the discussion challenges listeners to consider how doctrine should be tested by both Scripture and lived reality—and what happens when it is not.
