Hamblin's Pentecostal church practices a rare, century-old Christian tradition of worshiping God with venomous snakes such as timber rattlers, cottonmouths and copperheads, according to Urban Christian News. About 125 such churches exist in the U.S. Pastors use the snakes to show non-Christians that God protects them from harm, holding them aloft as they pray, sing and dance. The belief stems from a literal reading of Jesus' words in the Gospel of Mark: 'And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.' Hamblin's mentor, fellow reality TV star and snake-wielding pastor Jamie Coots, died in February 2014 after being bitten at his church in Middlesboro, Kentucky. His son Cody, 21, took over for him and was also bitten by a snake.
