SLAP the Power

In this podcast Rick and Maiya are honored to have as their guest, Sharon "Rocky" Roggio, Director of the critically acclaimed documentary " 1946: The Translation That Shifted Culture," to discuss the misinterpretation of biblical texts that have been used to condemn homosexuality.
Join us in this episode as we dive into this incredible documentary which unveils the mystery of how theology, history, culture, and politics led to a Biblical mistranslation, the man who tried to stop it, and the impassioned academic crusade of the LGBTQIA+ Christian community-driven to discover the truth. The film examines the historical and political implications of these mis-interpretations and challenge the notion that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The documentary has received widespread critical acclaim including
Winner at the Palm Springs International Film Festival 2023 BEST of FEST
Winner at Doc NYC 2022 Audience Choice Award
Winner Cleveland International Film Festival Audience Choice Award
