Segment 1 • Are we re-labeling Genesis because we're embarrassed in front of “the smart people”? • If miracles after Genesis 11 are literal, then creation and the flood can be too. • Is “mytho-history” careful scholarship—or circular reasoning dressed up as philosophy? Segment 2 • Some professing Christians think they can be solid believers while still supporting abortion. • Disagreement isn't a sign of hatred or even dislike - but simple, biblical conviction. • Some progressive “faith-leaders” are utilizing radical subjectivity to approve of things that God hates. Segment 3 • If you've truly seen the cross, how can you flirt with sin? • Evangelism can either be fueled by gospel-shaped gratitude… or a begrudging sense of duty. • Gospel knowledge must be moved from head to heart. Segment 4 • What transformed Joseph of Arimathea from fearful to fearless? • Have you actually considered what it meant to remove Christ's body from the cross? • If the crucifixion doesn't move you to gratitude and obedience, nothing will. ___ Thanks for listening!

When Adam and Eve stepped outside the garden, they didn't just lose a home — they lost a sense of belonging. And ever since, their children have carried that ache. Today, we're talking about why so many believers still feel like outsiders, and how the Father brings us home.

Your life is making a sound — what does it say? In this episode, Jay Cookingham connects Psalm 19:14 to daily life, calling Christian men to align their words, actions, and heart. Biblical manhood isn't just talk — it's a lifestyle of worship.
Jesus didn't call us to be fans—He called us to be disciples. In this sermon from John 1:14, we look at what it truly means to follow Christ in everyday life. We shouldn't just believe in Him, we should also sound like Him. Our words reveal who we listen to, who we belong to, and who we love.If you've ever wondered whether your faith is evident outside of Sunday mornings, this message will challenge and encourage you to speak with grace, truth, and purpose.Your words should be windows that reveal Jesus, not walls that conceal Him.Check out the live preaching sermon here.
Who do you think you are? Not the mask you wear on a good day, not the collapse you fear on a bad one—but the person whose thoughts shape feelings, whose feelings drive actions, and whose actions can be changed by a wiser rhythm. We trace a clear line from identity to behavior and show why life isn't as random as it feels: see yourself one way, and the pattern follows; shift the lens, and healing becomes possible.Join Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, and Cloud of Witnesses special guests Father Deacon Anthony, an ordained deacon in the Antiochian Orthodox Church, and associate marriage and family therapist, Jacob Sadan (https://jacobsadan.com/) in this frank and inspiring discussion of sin.We explore how identity shapes feelings and actions, why guilt heals while shame condemns, and how the church's ordered practices offer a reliable path from chaos to wholeness. Stories from Scripture, honest talk on pride and despair, and a call to stillness make the way forward clear and practical.• identity as the lens that drives emotion and behavior• order in Scripture and the church as a healing system• fasting as meaning-filled practice tied to memory and love• Peter's guilt vs Judas's shame as a map for repentance• pride hiding inside despair and perfectionism• rhythm and stillness re-regulating a dysregulated life• engineered emotion contrasted with prayerful quiet• objectivity through tradition and the witness of saints• shame withering in light and communityWe unpack the difference between guilt and shame through the stories of Peter and Judas. Guilt invites repair and repentance; shame condemns the self and hides in the dark. Along the way, we confront the hidden pride that fuels despair—“backwards pride” that says we should have been above failure—and we offer a kinder, truer stance: you are not uniquely good or uniquely bad. You are human, loved, and in need of a system that helps you grow.That system has roots. From order in Scripture to the structure of worship, fasting, and community, the church provides reliable practices that re-regulate a restless heart. We contrast engineered emotion with drawn-out stillness, arguing that while loud rooms can stir real feelings, quiet prayer forms real people. Listening becomes a two-way relationship where we stop only asking and start hearing the “small voice” that clarifies who God is and who we are.Finally, we make the case for objectivity in the spiritual life. Tradition and the witness of saints give us a mirror that doesn't flatter but frees, helping us see our true place on the path without shame or pretense. When light replaces secrecy, shame shrinks, and habits of love take root.

In this episode, host Annika Brockschmidt is joined by historian Seth Cotlar, professor at Willamette University, for a deep dive into the long history of right-wing extremism in the United States and how it migrated from the political fringe into the heart of the Republican Party. Drawing on decades of archival research, Cotlar explains how white Christian nationalism, antisemitism, and “blood and soil” ideology have shaped conservative politics far longer than many people realize. Rather than seeing today's extremism as something new or accidental, this conversation traces clear throughlines from McCarthy-era paranoia to the Trump movement, showing how narratives about “real Americans” versus internal enemies have been refined and normalized over time. The discussion also explores how structural changes helped remove the guardrails that once kept extremists at the margins. Cotlar unpacks the role of partisan media, social platforms, and weakened political institutions in amplifying radical ideas, alongside case studies like Walter Huss, an Oregon Republican leader who quietly fused Christian Identity theology with party politics from the inside. The episode examines the mainstreaming of antisemitic conspiracies, from George Soros tropes to Holocaust denial references, and the rise of “heritage American” rhetoric rooted in blood-and-soil nationalism. By connecting historical movements to contemporary figures and language, this conversation offers essential context for understanding how extremist ideas gain legitimacy and why they continue to shape American politics today.

Pastor Jim unpacks Ephesians 2:11-22 to show how Jesus is not only our peace but the one who has destroyed every dividing wall. What once separated Jew and Gentile, near and far, is now reconciled through the cross. Jim reminds us that salvation is not just about forgiveness but about forming a new family, a new humanity, where God's Spirit dwells. The church is not a religious club or a place for behavior management. It is God's living temple on earth. In Christ, our identities are made secure, hostility is put to death, and unity is possible not through human effort but by the presence of God himself living among his people.
In this message from Colossians 3:12–17, we explore what it truly means to become new in Christ—not just by removing old habits, but by intentionally putting on the ways of Jesus. Paul calls us to put on the character of Christ, the relationships of Christ, and the worship of Christ. Rather than trying harder, we're invited to live differently—allowing compassion, forgiveness, unity, and worship to shape our daily lives and witness. Becoming new is not accidental—it's a daily, intentional practice of living out the identity we've already been given in Christ.
What happens when radical kindness unsettles someone more than violence ever did—and what does that reveal about how well we truly know Jesus? This editorial challenges readers to ask whether Christ is merely around us, or genuinely living within us.
In this sermon, Pastor Rick addresses the pressure many believers feel to never be enough. Teaching from Jesus’ words about salt and light, he reminds us that identity is declared by God before performance and that faithfulness—not comparison—is the true measure of success.

Carr shares his faith story, explains why he believes Christians should be deeply engaged in politics, and outlines how he evaluates public policy through a biblical worldview. From contrasting political perspectives, the discussion moves beyond party labels to examine deeper questions: Where is the line between moral conviction and coercion? How should people of faith relate to those who do not share their assumptions? And what happens when religious identity and political identity become inseparable?Rather than seeking agreement, the episode offers clarity. It reveals how faith-driven conservatism understands power, policy, and culture—and what it looks like when those ideas are tested in direct conversation with a Democratic host.Learn more: https://danqcarr.com/Guest Bio Dan Carr is a pastor, author, and political organizer working at the intersection of faith and conservative politics.

John and Jenny unpack how racialized theology, Christian supremacy, and political extremism shaped everything from William Branham’s world to Youth With A Mission’s global footprint. Drawing on archival research and lived experience, they trace the line from British Israelism and Christian Identity theology through Bob Jones University, moral-majority politics, and Branham’s mentors into modern charismatic and New Apostolic Reformation networks. Along the way, they explore how “spiritual warfare,” end-times urgency, and talk of being the “true seed” of Abraham quietly merge race, nation, and faith into a single identity.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

In Part Two of the Becoming New series, we walk through Colossians 3:5–11 which shows us that real transformation requires putting the old self to death. Paul calls believers to purge old appetites, old reactions, and old identities—because you can't step into a new life while holding on to old patterns.
In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/
“The Christian Identity” - a lesson on the Christian's identity in Christ as a member of the family and nation that God has been building throughout human history and as an inheritor of God's covenant promises. Music: “Psalm 119, part 16” Lyrics by Isaac Watts. Arranged by Toby Logsdon. Performed by “Theotronica!” Copyright ©TobyLogsdon, 2026
This sermon, drawn from Galatians 3:26–29, centers on the transformative identity of every believer in Christ, emphasizing that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone, apart from ethnic, social, or gender distinctions. It unfolds the profound truth that all who are in Christ are adopted as sons of God, spiritually baptized into Christ, and clothed in His righteousness, thereby transcending every earthly marker of identity. The passage dismantles the illusion of spiritual privilege—whether ethnic (Jew/Greek), social (slave/free), or gender-based—by affirming that all believers are united in Christ and share equally in the inheritance promised to Abraham. The sermon underscores that this new identity, rooted in union with Christ, is not earned but received, and it calls believers to live in humble confidence, rejecting pride and division while embracing the gospel's power to unify all of God's people across every human boundary.
John and Amanda explore what it was like to grow up in the Message, from constant tape-listening and Cold War fear language to the lifelong weight of guilt, shame, and depression. They talk candidly about PTSD-like symptoms, emotional invalidation, controlling gender rules, racism, and the way fear of judgment shaped every decision--from hair and clothing to relationships and voting--while John connects these experiences to broader research on William Branham, Christian Identity, and Cold War-era apocalyptic preaching. Together they reflect on leaving a high-control group, facing the grief of lost family relationships, and learning to reclaim bodily, intellectual, and spiritual autonomy. Amanda shares how therapy, education, and curiosity about other cultures helped her heal, while John describes the long climb out of despair and into a life where faith is no longer weaponized. This conversation is for anyone wrestling with religious trauma, lingering fear about prophecies, or the question of whether a healthy, ordinary life is still possible after spiritual abuse. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
John explains why Freemasonry becomes a fixation for people leaving high-control religious groups, especially movements tied to William Branham and the New Apostolic Reformation. Drawing on history, personal experience, and documented hoaxes, he separates conspiracy theory from verifiable evidence while showing how fraternal-order structures were quietly replicated inside modern charismatic and apostolic movements. This episode examines Albert Pike, the Taxil hoax, Lucifer language, Christian Identity, pyramid theology, and why secrecy, hierarchy, and "inner knowledge" do far more damage inside churches than Freemasonry ever did outside them. The result is a sober, historically grounded framework for understanding why cult survivors spiral into conspiracy thinking — and how to step out of it. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

DateJanuary 11, 2026SynopsisIn this sermon, we dive into the disruptive power of Jesus's baptism, revealing how it offers a new imagination for how we see the world. Jesus steps into the water to redefine righteousness—it's not about maintaining purity or order, but about radical solidarity that shatters systems of control and exclusion. By claiming our first, revolutionary name as Beloved, we embody a vision in which justice flows like a river and are empowered to take a bold next step toward the healing of God's world.ReferencesScripture: Matthew 3:13–17About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

John traces the long, unsettling history behind today's "Army of God" and Seven Mountains language, showing how Christian Identity, British Israelism, and early twentieth-century revival movements shaped the way many believers now talk about nations, elections, and prophecy. Walking through old sermons, newspapers, and political campaigns, he explains why it only feels like things are worse today, and how earlier generations used the same fear-based apocalyptic narratives around leaders, wars, and "holy nations" that we see recycled in modern prophetic politics. From King Cyrus rhetoric around presidents to end-times math, dominion language, and the blending of pulpit and campaign stage, John invites listeners to step back and examine where these ideas came from and what they do to real people and real countries.

What is it like to be a Christian in Israel—and why do many Israeli Christians insist, "We are not Arabs"? In this eye-opening episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed speak with Lieutenant Colonel (Reserves) Ihab Shlayan, the IDF's most senior Christian officer and founder of Christian Voice in Israel. Shlayan shares a frank, ground-level account of how Christian communities in places like Nazareth and Cana have steadily become minorities in their own historic towns—and why he says the greatest threat to Christians in the region is not the State of Israel, but Islamist intimidation and Arab political control. He also lays out five concrete demands he's pressing with the Israeli government: recognition of Christians as a distinct community (not "Arab"), equal access to scholarships and employment benefits for those who serve, a separate Christian education framework, visible Israeli civic presence (including flags) in Christian towns, and proper representation and memorial recognition for Christian IDF soldiers. Whether you've heard claims that Christians are "second-class citizens" in Israel—or you've never considered the internal pressures facing Christians in the Holy Land—this conversation delivers rare clarity from someone who has lived it in uniform, in public advocacy, and on the front lines.

In this episode of the Thinking Christian podcast, Dr. James Spencer welcomes back Sathiya Sam—CEO and founder of Deep Clean Coaching—to talk about pornography addiction, sexual integrity, and the power of Christian community in lasting recovery. Sathiya shares his own story of breaking free from pornography after years of struggle as a pastor’s kid, ministry leader, and researcher—and how that journey led to the creation of Deep Clean, a ministry now helping thousands of men pursue freedom and wholeness. Sathiya introduces Deep Clean’s newest resource: the Deep Clean Inner Circle, a structured, community-centered program designed to help men overcome pornography through biblically grounded principles, expert coaching, and a safe, supportive network. In this candid and practical conversation, James and Sathiya explore: Why porn is uniquely addictive: the “3 A’s” — affordable, accessible, anonymous How early exposure, social dynamics, and tech use fuel addiction Why freedom is possible—and why streak counting doesn’t work The Deep Clean system: self-awareness, heart healing, and identity transformation How tracking trends (not just streaks) helps build real, lasting change The powerful role of community, accountability, and coaching Real stories of men finding hope, rebuilding marriages, and restoring integrity What relapse can reveal, and how to “leverage” it rather than spiral in shame Why pornography addiction is deeply tied to distorted identity—and how Scripture reframes it How biblical wisdom and Christian discipleship principles can help people break any destructive pattern Whether you're a pastor, parent, college student, or simply someone wanting to understand addiction from a Christian perspective, this episode offers clear insight and genuine hope.

John and Laura-Lynn discuss the authoritarian structures and doctrines that connect Branhamism, the Latter Rain, and today’s New Apostolic Reformation. They explore how William Branham’s reinterpretation of Malachi, the Elijah motif, Christian Identity influences, and mystical elements helped form a theological framework that still shapes major NAR figures and institutions. Through examples involving Jim Jones, Christ for the Nations, Gordon Lindsay, Dutch Sheets, and others, they illustrate how these ideas created a parallel “kingdom” with its own prophecy-driven hierarchy. They also examine how these movements subtly redefine the gospel, elevate human leaders, and inject mysticism and esoteric narratives into Christian belief. John and Laura-Lynn reflect on cult dynamics such as elitism, shunning, secrecy, and the pursuit of spiritual power, emphasizing the need for critical thinking and grounding in the plain reading of Scripture. The conversation highlights why awareness, historical accuracy, and careful theological evaluation remain crucial as these movements continue to influence mainstream charismatic spaces.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

John explores the origins of Joel’s Army—a militant spiritual ideology that emerged from the strange crossroads of Pentecostalism, Christian Identity, and post-WWII fear. He traces its development from early influences like Helena Blavatsky’s esoteric teachings, New Thought metaphysics, and British Israelism to William Branham’s “spoken word” theology and Roy Davis’s ideological orphanages. The episode exposes how the Sharon Orphanage in North Battleford, Canada, became a model for youth indoctrination under the guise of revival and prophecy. John connects the rise of Joel’s Army to the political and apocalyptic climate after the atomic bomb—when fear of a coming world war fueled a militant form of faith. He explains how these doctrines laid the groundwork for movements like the Latter Rain revival and today’s New Apostolic Reformation. With historical depth and theological clarity, this episode uncovers how mysticism, nationalism, and spiritual warfare blended into a single, radical ideology that continues to shape modern charismatic movements. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

John and Steve trace the ideological roots of mystical fascism and its unsettling influence on modern religious movements. They uncover how thinkers like Savitri Devi, Helena Blavatsky, and Alice Bailey shaped occult traditions that fed into Nazi spirituality—ideas that later resurfaced in Christian Identity, Latter Rain, and the New Apostolic Reformation. Together they explore how mysticism, dominionism, and political power converge into what Steve calls a "weaponization of Christianity," connecting early 20th-century esoteric fascism to the rhetoric of modern revivalists.Through themes like divine unity, eugenics, and "ongoing revelation," they reveal how the same doctrines once used to justify racial purification now appear repackaged as "kingdom power" and "apostolic authority." This episode dives deep into the historical cross-pollination of mysticism, nationalism, and religion—showing how the pursuit of a "divine world order" has too often led to destruction instead of redemption. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ

John and Laura-Lynn expose how hidden doctrines, secret networks, and unchecked apostolic authority connect modern revival movements back to William Branham and the Manifest Sons of God theology. Laura-Lynn recounts her firsthand experience within Art Lucier's circles and the unfolding allegations surrounding Daystar Canada and other NAR leaders, revealing patterns of moral failure, financial misconduct, and abuse of power. John connects these events to Branham's early networks with Roy E. Davis, the Full Gospel Businessmen, and even Christian Identity roots—showing how these old engines of influence continue to power modern charismatic movements. Together they call believers to discernment, courage, and truth, reminding listeners that exposure and repentance must precede revival.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.
John Collins traces the disturbing historical and theological roots linking William Branham's teachings to modern megachurch culture through Robert Morris and Gateway Church. Drawing from detailed research, he shows how Branham's "spoken word" doctrine and authoritarian "Moses model" structure evolved into today's New Apostolic Reformation, creating a cycle where abusive leaders are elevated again and again. John explores how figures like Roy E. Davis, Gordon Lindsay, and Jack Hayford bridged these movements—from early Christian Identity and Latter Rain to the prosperity gospel and NAR. This episode exposes how Branham's anti-biblical view of Christ as a "spoken manifestation" echoes directly in Robert Morris's sermons, proving that cultic theology can resurface even in the largest churches of modern evangelicalism. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
The question of our personal identity is crucial to life. Our identity is tied to our closest relationships and our life's mission. The deepest truth of who we are, however, is something we find in God and receive from Him, not something we have to figure out entirely on our own. By living the life God wants for us, we become our true selves and discover our true names.
When life feels like one loss after another, it's easy to believe you were saved just to survive. In this opening message from the TGYS, Bobby Bosler shows from Romans 8 that God didn't save us to lose—He saved us to win. Discover how surrender and dependence turn seeming defeats into overwhelming victory through Christ.This is the first sermon in a special series that will contain all of the sermons and workshops delivered at the 2025 Thee Generation Youth Summit at Falls Baptist Church in Menomonee Falls, WI this past October 8–10, 2025.Don't forget to make plans to join hundreds of other young people next October 14–16, 2026 for our annual meeting in Menomonee Falls, WI.

Radicalization, and the Minnesota Murder Cases John Collins grew up inside William Branham's “Message” world, left it, then spent years mapping how the theology and network morphed into today's authoritarian ecosystems. I welcomed him back to The Influence Continuum to speak about the murders and share his knowledge surrounding the twisted networks of doctrine and influence that may have influenced them. Collins' most recent book is Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR. Author and webmaster of William Branham: Historical Research, John was born and raised in William Branham's “The Message” cult following and is the grandson of Willard Collins, former pastor of William Branham's “Branham Tabernacle” in Jeffersonville, Indiana. When we did the recording and broke the story about Boelter's link to the extremist group, we got a message on my YouTube from Boelter's former baseball buddy and floormate at college, who witnessed his radicalization. Jeff Petricka consented to a recorded interview on my YouTube channel. John's story hits an essential point about brainwashing while growing up. He was taught such an extremist form of obedience that he was told if Branham said the sky was pink, his eyes were wrong. He was corporally punished regularly. He told me leaving felt like being air-dropped from a North Korean camp into the United States, where nothing is familiar. His deconstruction took years. With human resilience and persistence, John worked to heal himself and help others. John was told stringed instruments were “of the devil.” Today, he keeps his drums in the frame and every video on purpose, and I can see at least 8 (if not more!) stringed instruments on his wall.

True freedom needs authentic fellowship At 70 years old, Brue Willis no longer remembers he is a famous actor.Beliefnet says Bruce Willis is an atheistWhat Does God's Word Say?John 14:2-3 2 My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.James 2:14-26 Faith and Deeds14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[b] and he was called God's friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
