Shift Happens
In a world increasingly marked by division, cruelty, and chaos, Shift Happens is your guide to navigating the social and political turmoil of our time with hope, integrity, and courage. Each week, we bring you conversation with leaders, thinkers, and change-makers who are on the frontline of resisting white Christian nationalism, dehumanization, polarization, and apathy.
Together, we explore how to confront these challenges without mirroring them- how to resist cruelty without becoming cruel, combat anger without being consumed by it, and dismantle systems of injustice while remaining grounding in compassion and humanity.
Shift Happens isn't just about understanding the world; it's about empowering you to shape it. Tune in and discover practical insights, inspiring stories, and the tools you need to resist with resilience, love and purpose.
Change is possible because shift happens.

Kristy Keith: Child Abomination
In today's episode, Joe talks to Kristy Keith.
Kristy is a listener of the podcast and reached out to share her story. Kristy talks about feeling different but the first time realizing that she might be gay coming from a conversation where an adult told her she was an abomination...as a child.
Kristy's story is hard to hear at times but her spirit is strong and even through all the ups and downs never stopped fighting for the life she knew she was created for.
