Posture Shift

Posture Shift is writing a new church history where communities of faith and homes are safe for LGBT+ family and friends. We offer leading resources for every pastor, parent and all who care for LGBT+ people.

For Pastors

For every pastor

Posture Shift is a global leader in training and consulting services on LGBT+ inclusion and care. Our missiological training platform allows churches, schools, camps and other para-church ministries to faithfully honor God and radically love people. Safer churches means more LGBT+ people encountering the presence of Jesus Christ.

We highly recommend Posture Shift Intensive Course (2-Day) for your entire leadership team. Invest two days for the highest retention and implementation rates. We don’t train and consult to simply inform; we measure success by how well we equip your team to implement LGBT+ inclusion and care within your context.

The best next step is obtaining your print copy of Guiding Families! Our best practice care plan is important to read as quickly as possible after an LGBT+ child has come out. Preventing early relational mistakes will ensure trust for the road ahead. LGBT+ loved ones can be in a vulnerable spot after coming out. Guiding Families will help make family and home safe, foster honest conversation, and ensure the security of unconditional love. Loving an LGBT+ family member doesn’t mean your biblical beliefs are shifting; it simply means you’re living out a Christlike posture. Order today.

Posture Shift has provided non-licensed mentor care to thousands of LGBT+ people, parents, families and LGBT+ loved ones since 2006. All care is provided via Zoom or a telephone call. We specialize in nourishing parent-child connection and fostering safer homes for LGBT+ pre-teens, teens and young adults. Over 80% of our work involves parents of children 10 to 25 years old. Increasing family acceptance is directly connected to lower suicidality. Posture Shift specializes in preventing family rejection. We assist parents in seeking reconciliation from relational fractures within the family. It is highly recommended that parents and families first read Guiding Families: Fifth Edition and then schedule Direct Care, as necessary.
