6-7-2026 Originally Created on 5-26-2026 as a social media post. By Rev. Paula SadlerFounder, Universal Rainbow Faith There are moments in history when a faith tradition must stop, look in the mirror, and ask itself a difficult question: Have we remained faithful to our highest teachings? For Christianity, that question is especially urgent in 2026. Across the United States and around the world, many LGBTQIA+ people—and especially transgender people—continue to face rejection

Exclusive Interview with Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler Interview Date: June 4, 2026 – 10:15 AM By Universal Rainbow Faith Media A new book is emerging from author, spiritual leader, and remote viewer Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler that seeks to explore one of the most challenging questions facing humanity today: Can religion become a force for healing rather than division? In her upcoming book, The Emerald Council: A Vision of Reconciliation, Faith, and Sacred Inclusion, Paula des

5-30-2026 By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler Recently, Laura Ingraham posted a message suggesting that America's 250th birthday should be about the troops, workers, families, and generations who built this country, and criticized performers who have chosen not to participate in celebrations associated with the current political climate. Like many Americans, I read her comments and reflected deeply on what they mean. What struck me was not the decision of any particular celebrity.

5-23-2026 An Interview Reflection by Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler Introduction There are moments in human life when we stop and truly look at the history of our species—not through propaganda, nationalism, religious dogma, or political identity, but honestly. When we do, it can be deeply overwhelming. How do human beings repeatedly reach a point where they are willing to torture, enslave, imprison, lynch, burn, stone, silence, segregate, invade, and destroy one another? How do

5-14-2027 This morning, after I fell into the pool while cleaning it and had to laugh at myself—as it’s the first time I slipped and fell in my pool that I can remember—I thought to myself, that’s what we all need: a good laugh. And then somehow this song came into my head: “The Beat Goes On.” And isn’t that true about what’s going on in the world right now? The lyrics couldn’t be any more true now than they were in 1967 as we think about what was happening in the world at th

By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler 5-9-2026 “Who is the authority to determine another person’s spiritual experience?” That question stayed with me long after reading discussions online insisting that dreams of deceased loved ones, mystical visions, intuitive experiences, or spiritual encounters outside a narrow religious framework must automatically be dismissed as “demonic deception.” The more I reflected on it, the more I realized humanity has been wrestling with these same qu

5/7/2026 By: Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler There comes a moment in history when humanity must stop and honestly ask itself: What are we becoming? Not what political party we belong to. Not what religion we claim. Not what slogans we repeat. Not which media source we consume. But deeper than that: What kind of people are we choosing to become through the leaders we elevate, the systems we tolerate, the fears we amplify, and the truths we ignore? Over the past several weeks, I b

4-23-2026 By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler There comes a moment in history when humanity must pause and ask: Did we misunderstand the very thing meant to guide us? For thousands of years, religion has shaped laws, culture, morality, and identity. It has inspired love, compassion, and purpose. But it has also—at times—been used to justify exclusion, fear, and suffering. Today, we stand at another turning point. Across traditions—from Christianity to Islam, from Judaism to Hindui

By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler, Founder – Universal Rainbow Faith 🌍 INTRODUCTION There are moments in history when a nation is called to pause—not in weakness, but in wisdom—to reflect on the path that has brought it to the present. The United States stands in such a moment now. A nation founded on the ideals of liberty, justice, and equality has, alongside those ideals, carried a legacy of contradiction—one in which freedom was declared while millions were enslaved, and opp

4-18-2026 By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler Part I: A Question That Started It All My inquiry began with a simple but profound question: “When did Christians start killing people in the name of their religion?” — Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler It wasn’t meant to provoke—it was meant to understand. Because when we look at the teachings of Jesus Christ, what we find is not violence, coercion, or domination. We find love, forgiveness, and radical compassion. And yet, history tells a

Power, Fear, and the Politics of Control: Then and Now By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler 4-16-2026 Introduction The consolidation of political power has taken many forms throughout history, ranging from overt violence to more subtle mechanisms of control. One of the most infamous examples is the Night of the Long Knives, a turning point in the rise of Adolf Hitler, during which he eliminated perceived rivals and solidified his authority over Germany. While the historical circums

An Interview with Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler Interviewer: So let me get this straight—you’re saying there’s a contradiction in how “protecting women” is being defined right now? Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler: Yes, exactly. Let me say it clearly. The Donald Trump administration says it wants to protect women—keep men out of women’s sports and out of women’s bathrooms, meaning transgender women. Yet at the same time, they don’t support women helping women in business and the w

A Reflection on Divine Timing, Touched by an Angel , and the Voice of Conscience By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler ✨ Introduction: When Prayer Becomes the Answer There are moments in life when something deeper than coincidence unfolds—when a prayer is not only spoken but answered in real time. This evening, after sharing a heartfelt message and prayer about truth, love, deception, and the moral responsibility we each carry, I was guided to sit down and continue watching a serie

Beloved community, Today, I am taking a day for rest, reflection, and prayer —and I invite each of you to join me in this sacred pause.

Introduction: A Call to Wake Up, To Love, and To End Harm Across the United States and throughout the world, there are still individuals, institutions, and belief systems that teach that LGBTQIA+ people—especially children—must be changed, corrected, or “converted” in order to be accepted. These beliefs have given rise to what is commonly known as conversion therapy —a range of practices rooted in the idea that a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity is something wro

✨ A Reflection on Love, Identity, and Liberation By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler There are certain films that transcend entertainment and become spiritual experiences. What Dreams May Come is one of them. Starring Robin Williams, the film takes us on a journey beyond death—into worlds shaped not by physical laws, but by consciousness, memory, belief, and emotion. And in that journey, I see something profoundly familiar. I see us. 🌈 The World We Create… and the Ones We’re Tra

When Power Forgets Humanity 3-7-2026 Corruption, War, and the Nuclear Warning of Hiroshima & Nagasaki By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler There are moments in history when humanity must stop, breathe, and ask itself a difficult question: What kind of world are we creating? In recent months and years, many people around the world have felt a growing exhaustion — not just from daily life, but from the relentless cycle of political conflict, violence, fear, and division. Recently I w
