Unmasking Global Missions: From Sharon Orphanage to Modern NAR | Matt Hannigan | Episode 460

John and Matthew revisit the deep and often overlooked history of the Global Missions movement and its ties to Sharon Orphanage and the 1948 Latter-Rain Revival. Matthew, a former member, shares firsthand insights about growing up under the group’s culture of “prophetic history” and its fixation on ongoing revelation. Together they examine the roots of this theology in Branhamism, the hidden influence of early founders like Eric Holt, George Houghton, and Percy Hunt, and how editing and distributing recorded sermons shaped the movement’s beliefs. They also discuss the broader restorationist mindset that underpins much of the New Apostolic Reformation and why it continues to attract followers today. This candid conversation sheds light on the long-term dangers of replacing the sufficiency of Scripture with leaders who claim to reveal divine mysteries.br br 00:00 — Introductionbr 00:31 — Cult overlap between Branham, IHOPKC & Global Missions br 01:30 — Why everyone wants the “prophetic history” br 03:12 — Leaving a cult without knowing what questions to ask br 04:22 — Early Global Missions leaders and myth-making br 06:09 — Secret origins: funding, influence & hidden power structures br 10:06 — Founders’ behavior becoming church policy br 11:02 — Telekinesis, metaphysics & spiritualist practices br 14:40 — The “Judas narrative” and endless fragmentation br 17:12 — Gnostic foundations and pursuit of hidden knowledge br 18:30 — The danger of ongoing revelation vs.
