Snake-Handling Pastor Bitten By Deadly Rattlesnake | MY LIFE INSIDE: THE SNAKE CHURCH ─ Barcroft TV

A NEW documentary has captured the startling moment a controversial American pastor is bitten by a deadly snake during a service. Cody Coots is the pastor at the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus' Name church in Middlesboro, Kentucky - one of America's only remaining snake-handling churches. The dangerous ritual had already cost the Pentecostal church its previous pastor, Cody's father Jamie Coots, 42, after he was bitten by a rattlesnake and killed in 2014. And the shocking footage shows Cody Coots - his shirt splattered in blood - collapsing and being helped from his altar as the snake's potentially lethal poison begins to take hold. The church's story is told in My Life Inside: The Snake Church, the first film in a new series from Barcroft TV which gains unprecedented access to people who've chosen to live outside the norms of modern mainstream society.
