Meet the change leaders: Caleb Christen

Caleb Christen

Nevins is co-publisher of The Fulcrum and co-founder and board chairman of the Bridge Alliance Education Fund.

A lawyer by trade, Caleb Christen has served in the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps since 2007, including two deployments to the Middle East. He is now a senior officer in the Navy Reserve. Attending seminary and an executive education program in organizational leadership helped Christen identify that communities are not thriving as they were intended and that people must work together to transform American democracy and civic health.

As a result, Christen co-founded the Inter-Movement Impact Project to promote organizing for collective impact. His new focus is on “Better Together America,” a collaborative network providing support to the local democracy hubs that are emerging in communities across the United States.


Christen holds a law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School, a master of arts degree in Christian practice from Duke Divinity School, a post-graduate diploma in organizational leadership from Oxford University’s Said Business School and both a graduate certificate in international politics and practice and a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Kristina Becvar, co-publisher of The Fulcrum and executive director of the Bridge Alliance, had the opportunity to interview Christen a few weeks ago for the CityBiz “Meet the Change Leaders” series. Watch to learn the full extent of his democracy reform work:

Faith: Is There a Role to Play in Bringing Compromise?

Congress may open with prayer, but it is not a religious body. Yet religion is something that moves so very many, inescapably impacting Congress. Perhaps our attempts to increase civility and boost the best in our democracy should not neglect the role of faith in our lives. Perhaps we can even have faith play a role in uniting us.

Philia, in the sense of “brotherly love,” is one of the loves that is part of the great Christian tradition. Should not this mean Christians should love our political opponents – enough to create a functioning democracy? Then there is Paul’s letter to the Philippians: “Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.” And Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” The flesh could be seen as a politics of ego, or holding grudges, or hating opponents, or lying, or even setting up straw men to knock down; serving one another in the context of a legislative body means working with each other to get to “yes” on how best to help others.

What Star Trek Understood About Division—and Why We Keep Falling for It

The more divided we become, the more absurd it all starts to look.

Not because the problems aren’t real—they are—but because the patterns are. The outrage cycles. The villains rotate. The language escalates. And yet the outcomes remain stubbornly the same: more anger, less trust, and very little that resembles progress.

Patriotic Songs Reveal the America ICE Is Betraying

For over two hundred years, Americans have used songs to express who we are and who we want to be. Before political parties became so divided and before social media made arguments public, our national identity grew from songs sung in schools, ballparks, churches, and public spaces.

Our patriotic songs are more than just music. They describe a country built on dignity, equality, and belonging. Today, as ICE enforces harsh and fearful policies, these songs remind us how far we have moved from the nation we say we are.

At Long Last...We Must Begin.

As much as I wish this were an article announcing the ninth episode we all deserve of Stranger Things, it’s not.

A week ago, this was a story about a twelve-minute Uber ride with a Trump-loving driver on a crisp Saturday morning in Nashville, TN. It was a good story. It made a neat point: if this conversation can happen here, it can happen anywhere.
