The Mighty Philbert Podcast
Welcome to The Mighty Philbert — the channel where we dig deep, ask hard questions, and refuse to smile politely at bad theology. Whether you're crawling out of evangelicalism, recovering from purity culture, or just wondering why your Sunday school teacher thought dinosaurs rode the Ark, you're in the right place.
Hosted by a proud GenX survivor of church trauma and theological gaslighting, this channel serves up weekly doses of counter-apologetics, Christian deconstruction, and cultural commentary with a heavy side of sarcasm and '90s nostalgia. We’re talking real talk about religion, belief, and how to rebuild your worldview without all the baggage.
New episodes every week. Bring your questions, bring your doubts — and maybe your flannel.
Because sometimes faith needs a second opinion.

S02E25 The Faith Healing Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For nearly a century, faith healers have promised miraculous cures for sickness, disability, and disease.
But when investigators looked closer, something strange appeared: the miracles were always announced on stage — yet almost never verified afterward.
In this episode, we examine the history of the faith-healing industry, from William Branham and Kathryn Kuhlman to the modern charismatic movement.
We also look at why desperate people keep believing these promises — and who profits when hope is turned into a business.
