    Turn the World Upside Down

    In this series, I look at why the US, and some other nations, need profound change. It isn't a matter of whether change would be nice. It's a matter of we are already well into a decline in social values and economics. But it's not too late to turn it around, and there are ways to create the necessary change, as I also outline in my book: Unleash Movements that Matter: Break through barriers to change, free for a limited time on https://dorianscottcole.com/promotions/freesignup.htm. The first article and podcast in the series, "Turning the World Upside Down" on Youtube, Substack, Patheos, and Apple and Spotify podcasts, explores the challenges and necessity of societal change, drawing parallels between modern social movements and the impact of Jesus's message. I argue that change is universally resisted, yet essential for progress, referencing historical events like the 1960s civil rights and anti-war movements, contemporary issues like racial inequality, and Jesus. It's Biblically sound. I connect these struggles to core American ideals of equality and justice, as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and to biblical verses that highlight both peace and division as joint outcomes of profound truth. Ultimately, achieving a more just and peaceful society requires understanding how to effectively organize and push through deeply ingrained resistance, with attitude change being a critical yet difficult, component. The series aims to educate readers on how to initiate and sustain meaningful movements for change. This is a public episode.
