In Middlesboro, Kentucky, the Full Gospel Tabernacle has a dangerous method for showing their faith in God. They raise and handle deadly snakes with their bare hands. We travelled to Middlesboro to meet Pastor Jaime Coots and his congregation, and to hear the music they play in waves of rockabilly, rock-and-roll, blues and gospel. This incredible music forms the soundtrack to their lives and faith. We were honored to be invited to watch and listen.

00:00:07.257 --> 00:00:09.009
That is a southern copperhead that
00:00:09.009 --> 00:00:11.219
we have had for about two years,
00:00:11.219 --> 00:00:12.804
and that\'s the only copperhead that
00:00:12.804 --> 00:00:14.222
we\'ve ever had that will eat pork
00:00:14.222 --> 00:00:15.223
chops.
00:00:18.101 --> 00:00:19.102
They wanted.
00:00:19.853 --> 00:00:21.896
Still a massive metal,
00:00:21.896 --> 00:00:22.897
it\'s like.
00:00:26.151 --> 00:00:27.610
What you might have to be a liar.
00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:34.451
Education and buying big area.
00:00:44.669 --> 00:00:46.713
He\'s OK,
00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:47.714
he\'s in
00:00:49.132 --> 00:00:50.633
a big new world, he just didn\'t take
00:00:50.633 --> 00:00:52.010
it off the tongue, I could use it
00:00:52.010 --> 00:00:53.011
as.
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:56.681
As you all know.
00:01:00.727 --> 00:01:02.854
No way home or
00:01:02.854 --> 00:01:04.689
to maintain a whole new
00:01:04.689 --> 00:01:06.274
road on
00:01:07.317 --> 00:01:08.735
their way home.
00:01:08.735 --> 00:01:09.944
Don\'t you do?
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:18.161
Gwen?
00:01:25.835 --> 00:01:26.836
Like this show?
00:01:36.721 --> 00:01:38.723
I want.
00:02:50.587 --> 00:02:52.505
They I\'m saying I don\'t want,
00:02:52.505 --> 00:02:54.841
you know, they don\'t want it, right?
00:02:54.841 --> 00:02:56.634
I\'d have to pick up on your slide.
00:02:57.677 --> 00:02:59.179
Oh yeah, oh my.
00:02:59.179 --> 00:03:01.181
Oh my God, I\'ve thought about
00:03:01.181 --> 00:03:03.391
how if you go, Whoa,
00:03:03.391 --> 00:03:04.434
oh yeah.
00:03:04.434 --> 00:03:06.728
Hey, despite hating anybody
00:03:06.728 --> 00:03:08.271
else, do you want to know what\'s
00:03:08.271 --> 00:03:09.230
going to happen?
00:03:09.230 --> 00:03:11.482
Her boss is going to talk to him
00:03:11.482 --> 00:03:13.318
if he\'s got a bargain.
00:03:13.318 --> 00:03:14.611
And you know what?
00:03:14.611 --> 00:03:16.571
They don\'t like that about that.
00:03:16.571 --> 00:03:17.405
Hey, you know what?
00:03:17.405 --> 00:03:19.574
I think it was like,
00:03:19.574 --> 00:03:22.160
Oh my God, I got central
00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:23.161
air.
00:03:38.885 --> 00:03:39.886
But.
00:04:03.826 --> 00:04:05.995
In the New Testament, a text
00:04:07.497 --> 00:04:09.624
book of St. Mark\'s 16th chapter,
00:04:09.624 --> 00:04:11.042
Jesus tells the disciples, You
00:04:11.042 --> 00:04:12.335
believe this is baptized, shall we
00:04:12.377 --> 00:04:13.753
say, we believe actually, I\'ll be
00:04:13.753 --> 00:04:14.712
damned.
00:04:14.712 --> 00:04:17.131
And these sounds fall in the believe
00:04:17.131 --> 00:04:18.466
in my name. Shall they cast out
00:04:18.466 --> 00:04:19.467
devils?
00:04:19.467 --> 00:04:20.885
I shall speak many times.
00:04:20.927 --> 00:04:22.845
They shall take up serpents, and if
00:04:22.845 --> 00:04:24.013
they don\'t kill anything, it shall
00:04:24.013 --> 00:04:25.556
not hurt them and they shall hand on
00:04:25.598 --> 00:04:27.433
the sea can recover.
00:04:27.433 --> 00:04:29.227
That is your main
00:04:29.227 --> 00:04:30.561
scripture.
00:04:30.561 --> 00:04:32.397
It\'s a closeness you feel to God.
00:04:32.397 --> 00:04:34.274
And then it\'s a peace
00:04:34.274 --> 00:04:36.317
to know that you know, God
00:04:36.317 --> 00:04:37.777
is protecting you in a way that they
00:04:37.777 --> 00:04:39.737
can\'t hurt you, you
00:04:39.737 --> 00:04:41.281
know, even if they did bad.
00:04:42.824 --> 00:04:43.825
It\'s just.
00:04:46.119 --> 00:04:48.246
It\'s it\'s an undescribable feeling,
00:04:48.246 --> 00:04:49.664
really.
00:04:49.664 --> 00:04:51.249
It\'s like you\'re immortal.
00:04:51.249 --> 00:04:52.667
It\'s like nothing can hurt you and
00:04:52.667 --> 00:04:53.876
you\'re handling that snake, it\'s
00:04:53.918 --> 00:04:56.004
like if someone just walked in and
00:04:56.004 --> 00:04:57.755
then started shooting you, you know,
00:04:57.755 --> 00:04:58.798
it shouldn\'t bother me.
00:04:58.798 --> 00:04:59.716
It\'s that kind of feeling that
00:04:59.716 --> 00:05:02.010
you\'re just so, so high up
00:05:02.010 --> 00:05:03.094
and nothing can hurt you.
00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:10.101
And.
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.316
So can you talk about why you
00:05:16.316 --> 00:05:18.484
think over this weekend
00:05:18.484 --> 00:05:19.944
the services didn\'t get to the point
00:05:19.944 --> 00:05:21.029
or people didn\'t get to a point
00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:22.822
where they felt to do it?
00:05:22.822 --> 00:05:25.325
You never can say, I mean, I\'ve seen
00:05:25.325 --> 00:05:26.784
as high as three months go by.
00:05:26.784 --> 00:05:28.494
I\'m sorry, but it\'s not be.
00:05:28.494 --> 00:05:29.871
It\'s not something that\'s done all
00:05:29.871 --> 00:05:30.997
the time.
00:05:30.997 --> 00:05:32.623
God doesn\'t always direct you to do
00:05:32.623 --> 00:05:34.751
it. So you know you can\'t.
00:05:34.751 --> 00:05:36.002
You can\'t do it in yourself.
00:05:43.634 --> 00:05:45.053
Oh, yeah.
00:06:01.944 --> 00:06:03.905
Oh, you may not.
00:06:08.076 --> 00:06:09.077
All.
00:06:11.037 --> 00:06:12.538
But you know, just Saka,
00:06:13.581 --> 00:06:14.957
you know, you listen to a good rock
00:06:14.957 --> 00:06:16.334
song, head banging, you know, it
00:06:16.334 --> 00:06:17.794
makes you won\'t go do some stupid.
00:06:17.794 --> 00:06:18.920
You just got a feeling that when
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.755
you. And it\'s saying why last night
00:06:20.755 --> 00:06:22.006
count when you\'re listening to a
00:06:22.006 --> 00:06:23.424
good song, it just makes you want to
00:06:23.424 --> 00:06:24.217
get it.
00:06:24.217 --> 00:06:25.968
OK, like a slow song.
00:06:25.968 --> 00:06:27.678
That\'s country make you cry and boo
00:06:27.678 --> 00:06:28.846
hoo and press.
00:06:28.846 --> 00:06:30.348
The sounds can lift you up
00:06:32.433 --> 00:06:33.935
and down.
00:06:38.606 --> 00:06:39.607
Everything.
00:06:44.654 --> 00:06:46.239
Now, reverse.
00:07:08.803 --> 00:07:09.804
For you
00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:12.181
said.
00:07:21.065 --> 00:07:22.525
And right now.
