!!Tropes:
* CrisisOfFaith: Ezra Burnham lost his faith after the death of his wife as Main/{{God}} did not answer his prayers for her to recover.
* FakeFaithHealer: Ezra Burnham travels the US with his revival preaching the word of Main/{{God}} to a different congregation each week. He claims to be able to sense people's pain and [[HealingHands heal them]] through the power of God's love. In reality, his daughter Sarah takes down the information of various people in the congregation and feeds it to him through an earpiece. Ezra then calls the relevant people up on stage and puts on a big song and dance about healing them. If they ever do feel better afterwards, it has to do with the power of suggestion rather than any supernatural powers on Ezra's part. Luke, who later joins Ezra's revival, can heal people but that is because he is an alien as opposed to him possessing any God-given powers.
* HealingHands: Luke is able to heal people using the power that he receives from an advanced piece of technology disguised as a [[Literature/TheBible Bible]]. When he lays his hands on a man who lost his left ear in a thresher accident as a child, the ear grows back.
* ImpaledPalm: Luke uses his shapeshifting abilities to create the illusion of stigmata in front of the revival congregations.
* MessianicArchetype: In the final scene, Luke is already being worshiped as a new Messiah by small congregations led by Serena only two months after his death.
* MindOverMatter: Luke possesses the power of telekinesis thanks to an advanced piece of technology disguised as a [[Literature/TheBible Bible]]. He uses it to take Sheriff O'Brien's gun and shoot him with it in an attempt to frame Ezra Burnham for murder.
* MonsterMunch: Luke, who is actually a shapeshifting alien, eats Cindy in his trailer when she offers to have sex with him.
* OverlyLongTongue: Luke and Serena have very long tongues which they intertwine around each other.
* SinisterMinister: Luke is an alien whose species plans to enslave humanity through religion. He eats several young women and frames Ezra Burnham for the murder of Sheriff O'Brien when he tries to interfere with his plans.
* SlaveRace: Luke and Serena's species plan to use religion to enslave humanity as they have determined that humans are both naive and susceptible to such tactics.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Luke and Serena are members of a race of shapeshifters.
