Welcome to The Holy Shift

We’re shifting the perspective on Jesus, what He taught, and why it matters.

Join us as we explore the complexities in life, the paradoxes of faith, and how the upside-down kingdom of God always points the right way forward.

What if upside-down is the right way forward?

Hey, I’m Christine.

I’m so happy you’re here!

I founded The Holy Shift as an invitation to be curious, dig deep, and develop a truer understanding of—and deeper intimacy with—God. This ministry exists not because I have all the answers, but because I wanted to create a safe place to ask all the questions.

So much of Jesus’ teaching seems paradoxical and upside-down to our Western sensibilities. The Holy Shift is an invitation to explore that teaching further and shift how we understand and follow Him accordingly. If you’re curious about Jesus and looking for a community that seeks to know Him and love others, welcome home.

"My kingdom is not of this world..."  - JESUS (Matthew 18:36)

Who We Are

We champion creativity, conversation, and community that embrace the upside-down kingdom of God as the right way forward in faith and life.

What We Do

We spark curiosity through creativity, explore hard truths through conversation, and serve our communities in community.

Why We Do It

We believe humility, compassion, and curiosity break down the barriers that keep us from encountering Jesus, loving others, and glorifying God.

EP 31: Surrender Leads to Freedom

What if the freedom you’re desperately seeking only comes through surrender?

Bestselling author and trauma survivor Mary DeMuth returns to The Holy Shift Show to explore one of faith’s most challenging paradoxes: we can’t control our way to peace—we have to learn to let go.

If you’re struggling with cynicism, exhausted from trying to control everything, or frustrated by how long it takes to heal, this episode offers both validation and gentle encouragement. Mary reminds us of the upside-down kingdom truths that sometimes God takes a long time to do something suddenly, and freedom comes only through surrender.

DNDW 9: Emotional Health and Flourishing

What if the uncomfortable emotions you're experiencing aren't sins or failures, but invitations?

In this raw conversation, Christine chats with Christy Boulware, author of Nervous Breakthrough, to talk about stewarding our mental and emotional health. This isn't about quick fixes or spiritual bypassing—it's an honest exploration of recognizing our emotions as information and invitations that deserve attention, not shame.

Christine and Christy share the messy, honest reality of stewarding emotional health while following Jesus. Most importantly, they offer what so many need to hear: "I believe you. You're not crazy. You deserve help."
