Kaitlyn Schiess joins the podcast to discuss politics and the church, especially how should Christians engage with the political system. It’s a relevant topic as we discuss historical and present day approaches with an eye for how discipleship informs our political convictions.

Kaitlyn is a writer, an author, and a doctoral student at Duke Divinity School studying political theology, ethics, and biblical interpretation. She graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2021 with a ThM in systematic theology.

Kaitlyn is the author of The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here (released with Brazos Press in August 2023) and The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor (released with InterVarsity Press in September 2020).

She has written about theology, politics, and culture at places like Christianity Today, The New York Times, Christ and Pop Culture, CT Women, RELEVANT, Sojourners, Fathom, and the Christian Research Journal. She has also contributed some thoughts to this New York Times piece and this HuffPost piece. She wrote a chapter about political theology, Augustine, and conspiracy theories for an Eerdmans book, QAnon, Chaos, and the Cross, that released in May 2023.
