When Scripture Is Used as a Weapon

What happens when sacred texts are turned into tools of harm rather than vessels of healing? In this Pride Month episode, we confront the painful reality of scripture used against LGBTQIA+ people and ask: how do we respond with both wisdom and love? Join us as we unravel the tangled history of the Bible, challenge its misuse, and seek a path beyond fear, toward compassion, courage, and spiritual integrity. This is an invitation to honor your own story—even when the Word is wielded as a sword.
