Here, believers incorporate venomous snakes, fire, and poison into worship as powerful acts of ritual. We will examine how risk transforms into the sacred, how communities derive meaning from danger and death, and what these churches reveal about religious experience, embodied faith, and belief in action.Whether you're fascinated or skeptical, this deep dive into a unique tradition challenges our assumptions about faith, fear, and trust.Chase Viscuse is a graduate student in Religious Studies at the University of Chicago.
