In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations, I unveil one of the most comforting yet damaging lies ever told in religious circles: that faith heals all. From pulpits to prayer lines, many are instructed to simply “have faith” instead of seeking help, as if belief alone can cure trauma, illness, or generational pain. But what happens when faith doesn’t mend the broken? When prayers go unanswered? We examine the emotional and psychological toll of relying on spiritual slogans while overlooking genuine healing. Faith may inspire, but it can’t replace truth, therapy, or tangible change. Let’s discuss the harm inflicted in the name of hope — and why it’s time we stop spiritualizing pain.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
