Derek Prince, Latter Rain, and the Hidden Road to Shepherding

 

John and Charles trace a major split inside the Latter Rain movement and follows how James Watt, Ern Baxter, and Derek Prince became connected through Seattle ministry circles. The discussion looks at North Battleford, Broadway Tabernacle, the emergence of Shepherding ideas, and the role of five-fold ministry teaching in building a top-down religious structure.

The conversation also examines how influential leaders carried Latter Rain concepts into later movements, why those teachings proved so durable, and how a biblical idea could be reworked into an authoritarian chain of command. Along the way, John connects Sharon Orphanage, Seattle, and later splinter groups to show how one internal division helped shape a much larger stream of Pentecostal and charismatic history.
