Love Jesus… but Still Let a Few Four-Letter Words Fly?
You’re not a bad Christian. You’re a work in progress.
Holy Shift: For People Who Love Jesus… but Cuss A Little. A Lot. is a funny, honest, grace-filled guide for Christians who want their words to better reflect their faith—without becoming fake, preachy, or losing their personality.
Ever Stub Your Toe and Say Something Not-So-Jesus-Y?
You are not alone.
Maybe you cuss when you are angry. Maybe it slips out when you are stressed, driving, working, cooking, or stepping on a Lego at six in the morning.
You love Jesus. You take your faith seriously. But changing a habit you have had for years is not as simple as deciding to “watch your mouth.”
Holy Shift looks at where our words come from, why certain language becomes automatic, what Scripture actually teaches, and how real change happens—with awareness, humor, practical tools, and plenty of grace.
"The shift starts when you notice what you say… and why you say it."

What Readers Are Saying
There was one section that really made me stop and sit with it for a minute. The author breaks down the difference between cussing, cursing, and coarse joking, and the way it was phrased stuck with me.
Matt
You will appreciate the author’s Christian-based approach to using thoughtful speech. The book is grounded in the Word of God. A highpoint is the author’s teaching that speaking with self-control isn’t weakness. In fact, it may be one of the strongest thing you ever do.
James C.
I felt like I was sitting across the table from a real person who loves Jesus, who lives in the real world, and isn’t afraid to admit, like me, they’re still figuring things out.
