HOLY SHIFT | Why the Bible is Violent, Troubling, and Still Good News

When modern people read the Bible, we think it’s primitive, violent, and backwards.

Its first readers found it progressive, dangerous, and revolutionary.

What happened?

HOLY SHIFT is a 60-minute talk/sermon/one-man-show that explores the big questions about the bible, progress, and the role we play in the ongoing story of humanity.
