Over the years, Abe Partridge and Ferrill Gibbs have maintained a steady appetite for hunting the songs of the serpent handling people.New information – courtesy of a serpent handling preacher from Gray, Kentucky – diverted the fellows to an interesting trail.Abe Partridge, songwriting artist turned prolific documentarian; and Ferrill Gibbs, Murrow Award-winning podcast producer, peel back the "big stinking onion" to see what lies beneath. Meanwhile, imprisoned serpent handling believer Glenn Summerford still serves a 99 year sentence. Any day now, a fresh parole hearing comes.Abe and Ferrill's journey began in 2020, with a podcast called Alabama Astronaut. (To start at the beginning, go there.) In 2024, they released a memoir of serpent handling believer Cody Coots, Marked for Life. It's a deep dive podcast into the mind of one serpent handling believer.Music by Kenosha Kid. Special thanks to freelance journalist Beth Braden.
When Abe first decided to co-produce a podcast about his music-documenting journey, he approached the serpent handlers and told them of his plans. Knowing they'd been the subject of ridicule in the past (and that they probably didn't trust him), Abe promised he would send them the podcast before it was ever released. He said they could have full editorial control. When he and Ferrill completed a draft worthy of release, Abe sent the podcast to serpent handlers Cody Coots, Cassy Coots, Andrew Hamblin and Taylor Hamblin. In return, he received a downright humbling text ...
As the coronavirus finally arrives in Mobile and, most detrimentally to Abe, the Mobile music scene, Abe's gigs begin to drop. With more free time on his hands, he travels to Jackson County, Kentucky, to meet fourth-generation serpent-handling preacher Cody Coots, along with his songwriting wife, Cassy Coots. Abe conducts a field recording at their house to capture generations-old songs from the duo. A life-changing friendship begins to take root.

Episode 5 is here and she is deadly! Because this week, we will be discussing deadly animals kept as pets. Jackie tells the story of snake-handler Jamie Coots, who didn't necessarily keep his snakes as "pets" but used them for religious purposes in his church the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name. Although Coots gained notoriety for his show "Snake Salvation" on National Geographic, his snake-handling practices had deadly consequences.

Cody Coots is a serpent handling Pentecostal minister. Cody is the son of the late, Pastor Jamie Coots, who incidentally was a good friend of mine. Cody talks everything from the movement, it’s doctrines, and the history of serpent handling. Cody also discusses many objections and arguments his group receives, and allowed him to offer his responses, talked the life of his father, and the importance of not compromising what you believe for anyone. He talked the times he’s been bitten personally, including the very serious bite to his temple, which penetrated his Superficial Temporal Artery, and how he almost died, handling rattlesnakes, copperheads, cobras, mambas, bush vipers, scorpions, and more. He's talking the do’s and don’ts, as well as handling of fire, blow torches, drinking Strychnine, Battery Acid, and Drano. Why do these people do these things? What purposes do they serve?

Series: N/AService: Sun AM WorshipType: SermonSpeaker: Aaron HurdIn 2014 snake handler, Cody Coots, was bit by a rattle snake while preaching a sermon. What was Cody thinking? Mark 16:18 says that those who believe will be able to pick up deadly serpents. Does that mean believers should handle snakes today? In this lesson, Aaron Hurd explains what the Bible actually teaches about snake handling, speaking in tongues, and faith healing.
In this week’s episode, Noah stops going easy on the Catholics, a person named Cody Coots does something exactly as intelligent as he sounds, and Mormons will somehow become easier to insult. --- Come see us in London! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/god-awful-movies-live-in-london-tickets-47591873575 To make a per episode donation at Patreon.com, click here: http://www.patreon.com/ScathingAtheist To buy our book, click there: http://www.amazon.com/Diatribes-Godless-Misanthrope-Scathing-Presents-ebook/dp/B00J53FZFI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396141562&sr=8-1 To check out our sister show, The Skepticrat, click here: https://audioboom.com/channel/the-skepticrat To check out our sister show’s hot friend, God Awful Movies, click here: https://audioboom.com/channel/god-awful-movies To check out out half-sister show, Citation Needed, click here: http://citationpod.com/ --- Headlines: Pope Francis Urges Catholics to Pray and Fast in Response to Child Sex Abuse (lead?) http://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2018/08/20/pope-francis-urges-catholics-to-pray-and-fast-in-response-to-child-sex-abuse/#lrQwLDXU1vL4Jl4Q.99 And Bill Donohue: Child Sex Abuse Really a Gay Problem: https://www.catholicleague.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/PA-GRAND-JURY-REPORT-DEBUNKED1.pdf Mormon President: God Told Me To Tell You To Stop Calling Us “Mormons” http://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2018/08/16/mormon-president-god-told-me-to-tell-you-to-stop-calling-us-mormons/#jf3BCI2M3EEPQ8BC.99 It’s Official: Batman’s an Atheist http://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2018/08/16/its-official-batmans-an-atheist/ Florida latest state to require “In God We Trust” signs in every school: https://nypost.com/2018/08/13/in-god-we-trust-signs-must-now-be-displayed-in-all-florida-schools/ and https://ffrf.org/news/news-releases/item/32798-project-blitz-targets-schoolchildren-with-godly-agenda Son of pastor who died from snake bite nearly dies from snake bite (again): http://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2018/08/18/son-of-pastor-who-died-from-snake-bite-nearly-dies-from-snake-bite-again/#BalBwS8JSPzShBsG.99
