 In this searing episode of Perspectives, host Shane E. Burkett unpacks the growing fusion of Pentecostal dominion theology, prosperity gospel preaching, and American right-wing politics. With bold commentary, spoken word rhythm, and unapologetic analysis, Shane explores how charismatic movements have evolved from fringe revival tents into full-blown political machines—with prophets in pulpits and QR codes on altars. 

 At the center of this story is Paula White-Cain: televangelist, prosperity preacher, and former spiritual advisor to Donald Trump. Her sermon in a Miami megachurch wasn’t just revival—it was a declaration of theological conquest. Quoting scripture while pledging a $12,000 check on stage, White-Cain urged believers to “take over” society in the name of God’s Kingdom, blending faith, nationalism, and spiritual warfare into a political roadmap for 2024 and beyond. 

 This episode dives deep into: 

  • What Dominion Theology is—and how it twists Genesis 1:28 into a mandate for Christian rule.
  • The Prosperity Gospel’s role in building political loyalty through financial obedience.
  • The emergence of the New Apostolic Reformation and its global influence.
  • How charismatic leaders like White-Cain use dreams, prophecy, and tongues to justify political control.
  • Why this movement threatens religious freedom, democracy, and pluralism in the U.S.

 From mega-churches to the White House, Shane examines how faith is being used not to redeem, but to reign. It’s not just about votes—it’s about divine appointment. This isn’t salvation; it’s strategy. This isn’t revival; it’s realignment.

With spoken word fire and sharp critique, Kingdom Come challenges listeners to look beyond the altar and ask: when prophecy becomes policy, who gets left behind?
