From KKK to QAnon: Dr. Steven Hassan Interviews John Collins
Dr. Steven Hassan speaks with John Andrew Collins about the lasting impact of William Branham and the destructive offshoots of his ministry. Collins, a third-generation former Branham follower, describes how Branham's teachings laid the foundation for authoritarian groups, radicalized movements, and modern expressions of dominionist Christianity such as the New Apostolic Reformation. They trace how Branham's ideology, mixed with Christian Identity and extremist theology, continues to influence churches and individuals today—including in cases where followers have committed acts of violence. Collins highlights how militant language, misapplied biblical prophecy, and Branham's links to groups like the Ku Klux Klan created an environment ripe for radicalization
