Sid Roth's It's Supernatural! is a talk show which televangelist Sid Roth hosts in order to promote the supernatural as it relates to Christianity. The show is widely broadcast on Christian television networks in the United States and it is also widely broadcast on various international networks. The program centers on claims of supernatural intervention within Christianity and frequently features guests who promote creationism, faith healing, and other positions that reject the scientific consensus on evolution. Scholars and commentators have noted that the show presents such claims in a testimonial format rather than through critical or scientific evaluation.

History
Sydney Abraham Rothbaum (born September 7, 1940) is an American talk show host and author. According to Roth, he was raised Jewish but, at age 32, after dabbling in New Age philosophy for several years, he became a "born again" believer after a co-worker convinced him that Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah of the Jews.
Roth launched his nationwide radio broadcast Messianic Vision in 1977. In 1996, he graduated to television as Sid Roth's It's Supernatural! began airing. In late 2013, Roth's ministry started ISN (It's Supernatural! Network), a full-time online network that streams episodes of Sid Roth's It's Supernatural! and other content produced by the ministry and its partners for free.
