132: Substantive Stories | The Ballot and the Bible feat. Kaitlyn Schiess

In 2020, a very normal and chill time, Kaitlyn Schiess released her first book, The Liturgy of Politics. It was thoughtful and encouraging call to believers to approach their politics, particularly locally, in a way that actively honors God and prioritizes the well-being of our neighbors. We were privileged to have her on the show and talk about that book and those ideas (link below) and we have been waiting for her follow-up book ever since!

Now, just a couple weeks away from the wide release of her second book, The Ballot and the Bible, we are excited to have her return (along with Trevor Akin making his guest host debut)! We talk about the history of the use of Scripture in American politics, the importance of community in biblical interpretation, the price of critical thinking, and more.

Be sure to tag us and Kaitlyn when you share this on social media (and tell her "Happy Birthday!") and look out for a chance to win a copy of TBatB later this week on Instagram & Twitter!
