John Collins and John McKinnon examine the historical roots of Christian Identity, focusing on its connections with early 20th-century American Pentecostalism and white supremacy movements. They discuss how figures like Roy Davis, Howard Rand, and others intertwined religious fervor with racist and anti-Semitic ideologies. They highlight how these ideas spread through various media, including the Dearborn Independent, and influenced key religious movements such as the Latter Rain and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

The discussion also examines the pivotal role of Christian Identity doctrines, like the serpent seed theory, in shaping these movements. The hosts trace the development of these doctrines from British Israelism to their fusion with white supremacy, showing how they laid the groundwork for modern extremist ideologies within some Pentecostal circles. The episode underscores the significance of understanding these historical contexts to comprehend the present-day implications of these beliefs.
