Get ready for a fistful of the Messiah! Hit the gym with Dallas Texas’ favorite team of roided up evangelists—the power team!

Awwwww yeah, it’s the Power Team…USA!

Not to be confused with the godawful cartoon show made by Acclaim in the early 90s, the Power Team is a group of Christian evangelists based in Dallas Texas. They do…something that’s not quite stereotypically Texas but still seems somehow fitting—preach the gospel while demonstrating strength and martial arts displays.

This idea has some antecedents in the past—the 19th century movement of Muscular Christianity did something vaguely similar—associating Christianity, in particular Protestantism, with masculine virility and athleticism to challenge the idea of Christianity being a womanly religion and get men interested in the church.

Similarly, the power team, which still exists, goes to schools to show the kids how Jesus gives them strength. They also appeared on an episode of Walker Texas Ranger so you know shit is legit!

The team split up after *ahem* A divorce which is…ironic somehow. Anyway, to the video!

…For an evangelist preacher, John Jacobs has…a really good metal scream. In fact, can we put that DEEEEEMONS sound bite over some Black Sabbath or something?

…Vigorous weightlifting was the answe-no just kidding it’s Jesus. It’s always Jesus.

And much more.

If you get a faint whiff of half-assery for this video…well I have a new job and a new girl so that took up a lot of my time this past week. And yet I still managed to get this out just in the nick of time. So deal with it, fanboy!
