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. @HolyKoolaid 's Faith Healing Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCTNr4WPOQ94M_OCaznZwbYdu3fYtGURq Other Links Mentioned: The Trinity Foundation - https://trinityfi.org/ Televangelists: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y1xJAVZxXg Sub! → Turn on notifications for 3 new videos every week!
