A paradigm shift is a rising above one's own view to another person's view. It's a change in someone's life from one thing or way to another. Shifting from one way of thinking to another. Standing Upright for Christ is about shifting from our perspectives to God's. This bible study is meant to help us with this shift. This bible study also is meant to help us be honest about how we feel our Christianity is versus what our Christian journey is supposed to be. Standing Upright for Christ allows us to keep it real.
