Manifest Sons Return: Dean Briggs, Lou Engle, and Dominion Now | Kevin & Barbara Sisti | Episode 459

John, Kevin, and Barbara expose the spiritual and political machinery behind the so-called “Communion Revival” led by Lou Engle, Dean Briggs, and Chris Berglund. They trace how Manifest Sons of God theology from William Branham and the Latter Rain revival evolved into today’s New Apostolic Reformation—with its Dominion Now teachings, manipulation of Gen Z, and exploitation of women. Together, they unpack how a movement once claiming to bring unity and revival instead breeds hierarchy, nationalism, and theological corruption. The discussion moves from Nixon-era politics and charismatic propaganda to modern platforms like Awaken the Dawn, revealing a pattern of humanizing Christ, hero-worshiping leaders, and silencing victims—all under the banner of revival.
