Episode #25: Reimagining Faith: Karl & Laura Forehand's Journey from Baptist Roots to Co-Authors

In this insightful episode, we sit down with Karl & Laura Forehand, co-authors and former Baptist church leaders, to discuss their experiences and transformation. Karl served as a pastor in several Baptist churches over a span of 20 years, while Laura played the role of the supportive pastor's wife, raising their children and contributing to the church community.

After two decades of ministry, Karl & Laura began to reevaluate their beliefs, embarking on a journey of healing from the spiritual damage they had endured. Through therapy and other healing methods, they have worked hard to mend the wounds inflicted by their past.

During their time in one small Texas town, they encountered a pre-existing hierarchy that controlled not only the church but also the town itself. This power structure tested their resolve and made it clear who was truly in charge.

Karl & Laura have channeled their experiences into their writing, authoring several books together. Their latest work, "Evolving From Religious Trauma," delves into their journey of recovery and offers insights for others seeking to heal from similar experiences.

Join us for a candid conversation with Karl and Laura Forehand as they share their story of transformation, resilience, and hope.
