Did Evangelicals Copy Communist Brainwashing Tactics? The Jesus Movement - Weaponized Religion

From Nixon’s eerie speeches at charismatic breakfasts to Douglas Hyde’s communist playbook adopted by churches, this episode uncovers the hidden strategies that reshaped American Christianity. We’ll explore how movements like Youth With A Mission (YWAM), the Shepherding Movement, and Calvary Chapel used tactics borrowed from authoritarian regimes to recruit, train, and dominate a new generation of believers.

🎸 Discover how rock music, doomsday prophecy, and mind control blended into a movement that looked like revival — but often felt like cult.

🔎 Featuring:
• Richard Nixon’s “Battle for the Mind” speech
• Douglas Hyde’s Dedication and Leadership
• The Latter Rain influence on Chuck Smith and Lonnie Frisbee
• YWAM’s ties to Cold War propaganda
• The twisted legacy of David Berg and the Children of God
