Ross and Carrie Approach Apostle Kathryn Krick (Part 1): Viral Faith Healer Edition

Ross and Carrie introduce you to the faith healer taking off on social media, live from her L.A. church. The bright-eyed apostle once came to Hollywood as a would-be actress and EDM singer. Then one day, a prophet of God stopped her dreams in their tracks with these words: “You are an apostle of Jesus Christ, and you're called to reach the nations. I see you ministering to the masses, and God doing shocking miracles through you.” That’s when she began to cast out demons and “heal” the sick, but not without controversy. Ross and Carrie uncover some of the online turf war, and Carrie wonders if this is her in a parallel life. Meet Kathryn Krick!

Chomping at the beaverneck, protestant exorcist Bob Larson went to see the film on opening weekend (not that he wanted to), so he could warn all of us NOT TO SEE IT. So Ross and Carrie saw it. Hear these two CERTIFIED EXORCISTS review the film AND some original Amorth exorcism footage!
