2 SET 2025 · Host Rev. Dr. Sheri Pallas speaks with Karl and Laura Forehand, former ministers who deconstructed their faith and left organized religion. The Forehands, founders of the Desert Sanctuary and authors of Out into the Desert, share insights from their journey and upcoming book focused on healing from religious trauma.
- Deconstruction feels lonely → community and shared stories help.
- Healing needs the body + mind → somatic work (EMDR, tapping, focusing) + talk therapy.
- Stages like grief → fear → anger → sadness → peace.
- Anger is valid, but healing goes beyond it.
- No quick fixes → patience, self-compassion, and recording your journey.
- Religion bypassed existential fears → death, freedom, isolation, meaninglessness.
- Spiritual bypassing adds shame → “pray more” = silencing pain.
- Rebuilding identity → trust self, not just jump to a new system.
- Parts/shadow work → see emotions as parts of you, not the whole you.
- Healing requires being seen + heard in safe, supportive community.

19 AGO 2025 · 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a feature documentary that follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a grave mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. It chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University which unveil astonishing new revelations, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice. Featuring commentary from prominent scholars as well as opposing pastors, including the personal stories of the film’s creators, 1946 is at once challenging, enlightening, and inspiring.
While other documentaries have been successful in their attempt to treat the symptom of homophobia in the church, 1946 is working to diagnose and treat the disease - Biblical Literalism.
Show Summary:
Reverend Dr. Sheri Pallas interviews Ed Oxford, a key participant in the research behind the documentary "1946," which explores the history of the word "homosexual" in the Bible. Oxford discusses his personal journey, how he connected with Kathy Baldock, and their research at Yale University, which uncovered crucial letters revealing the motivations behind the 1946 Revised Standard Version's inclusion of the word "homosexual." They discuss the impact of this translation, the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context of biblical passages, and the need for churches to create safer spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. Oxford emphasizes that the misinterpretation of scripture is a human problem, not a divine one.
