Surviving Faith: Rachael Reign on Cultic Abuse & Conversion Practices
Saison 3 · Épisode 10
dimanche 10 mai 2026 • Durée 01:02:13
In the final episode of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour – UK, we sit down with Rachael Reign, Founder and CEO of Surviving Universal UK.
Rachael is a leading voice in raising awareness around cultic and spiritual abuse, particularly within high-control religious environments. Her work centers on survivor support, safeguarding reform, and culturally competent advocacy.
After experiencing harm herself, Rachael recognised a gap in both language and support systems for survivors. Through her organisation, she now works to ensure others are seen, heard, and protected.
In this conversation, we explore what spiritual abuse looks like, how it overlaps with conversion practices, and why these issues remain so under-recognized.
This episode is a powerful close to the season and a reminder that faith, when misused, can harm — but truth, language, and community can begin to heal.
In this Episode:
What Is Spiritual & Cultic Abuse? Understanding coercive control inside religious environments.
High-Control Faith Spaces How manipulation, fear, and power operate within certain religious systems.
The Impact on Survivors Why spiritual abuse is often invisible and misunderstood.
Safeguarding Gaps Where systems fail survivors and why reform is urgently needed.
Conversion Practices & Overlap How spiritual abuse and conversion practices intersect.
Cultural & Racial Context Why culturally competent safeguarding is critical, especially in marginalized communities.
Advocacy & Change How Rachael is pushing for recognition, accountability, and systemic reform.

Banning Conversion Practices: Saba Ali on Faith, Harm & Global Resistance
mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée
In this episode of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour – United Kingdom, we sit
down with Saba Ali — award-winning activist, speaker, and Chair of the Ban
Conversion Practices Coalition.
This is one of the most urgent conversations we’ve had.
As global debates intensify — and with recent rulings in the United States
framing conversion therapy as “free speech” — the reality is clear: these
practices are not therapy. They are harm.
Saba prefers the term “conversion practices” because there is nothing
therapeutic about attempting to change or suppress someone’s sexuality or
gender identity.
As a queer South Asian woman with lived experience, Saba brings deep
insight into the intersection of race, religion, culture, and identity. Her
work spans advocacy, policy reform, and frontline support for those
impacted by abuse, discrimination, and systemic inequality.
In This Episode:
🚨 What Are Conversion Practices?
Why language matters — and how “therapy” disguises harm.
🌍 A Global Crisis
How these practices continue across the UK, US, and beyond — and why
legislation still falls short.
🧠 The Impact
The psychological, emotional, and spiritual harm caused by conversion
practices.
⚖️ Law, Policy & Power
What’s happening right now in the UK and US — and why bans are critical.
🕌 Culture, Faith & Intersectionality
How race, religion, and family systems intersect with LGBTQIA+ identity.
🔥 Advocacy & Resistance
What it takes to challenge institutions, shift policy, and protect future
generations.
This episode is not just a conversation — it’s a call to awareness,
accountability, and action.

In this episode of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour – UK, we sit down with Scott Archer — known to millions online as “TikTok Jesus.”
With nearly 8 million followers, Scott has built a massive platform using cosplay, satire, and humor to challenge misinformation about the Bible and push back against anti-LGBTQ+ narratives. But behind the viral content is a deeply personal story.
Scott is openly asexual, and in this conversation, he shares what that means, how he came to understand his identity later in life, and why asexuality remains widely misunderstood — even within the LGBTQIA+ community.
We explore the unexpected rise of “TikTok Jesus,” the role of humor in dismantling harmful theology, and the reality of navigating backlash, hate, and visibility online.
The conversation also dives into cultural differences between UK and US Christianity, the influence of the Church of England, and why misinformation about the Bible spreads so easily in the digital age.
This episode is thoughtful, funny, and deeply human — a conversation about identity, platform, faith, and the power of using your voice to create change.
Key Topics
Asexuality and identity discovery in adulthood
Misconceptions about asexual relationships
The rise of “TikTok Jesus” and viral influence
Humor and satire as tools for cultural change
Online hate, backlash, and mental health
UK vs US Christianity and cultural religion
Biblical misinformation and digital media
