ABOUT

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. 

KEVIN MAKINS is the founding pastor of Eucharist Church. He lives, works, plays, and prays in downtown Hamilton with his wife, baby, and housemates. This is his first full length video. 

JESSE DRIFTWOOD is a videographer. He is most well known for his popular daily Instagram Stories.
