John and Charles investigate the controversial life and teachings of Ewald Frank, a major figure in the movement that grew out of William Branham’s influence. They explore how Frank’s leadership unraveled following serious moral failings, resulting in the development of unusual doctrines to justify personal actions. Throughout the discussion, they reveal how doctrines such as the “two-soul” teaching emerged, how widespread the acceptance became, and how the movement’s international reach, especially into Africa and Europe, was shaped by these events.
The discussion expands into the disturbing intersections between religious groups and powerful political regimes, highlighting Frank’s connections to international mission networks and to questionable organizations abroad. John and Charles also reflect on broader patterns of cover-up, doctrinal manipulation, and the complex web of relationships that protected and perpetuated harmful behaviors within the movement’s leadership. Their conversation uncovers a rarely seen history that sheds light on why so many followers were left unaware of the deeper truths behind the public faces of the movement.
