The language of the Bible has often been invoked in American political discourse through the centuries. Scripture has been quoted by suffragists and secessionists, invoked in arguments for (and against) American independence, the Civil War, and each succeeding conflict, and cited by virtually every President across parties. So how should we discern a faithful application of scripture in public life from instrumentalizing the Bible for political purposes? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics?[insert quote]Kaitlyn Schiess, theologian, speaker, and author of the new book, The Ballot and The Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused In American Politics and Where We Go From Here, joined us on Friday, September 15 to help us examine America's history of using (and misusing) biblical language in politics, and explore what we can learn from the times Scripture has been wisely applied as well as egregiously misused. With a wide-ranging discussion covering history, hermeneutics, and political theology, she helped us consider the proper use of the Bible in political discourse.We hope this conversation sparks your creativity and encourages you to look differently at the small matters of life that matter a lot.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2023.

Can you imagine a better and a healthier politics? If so, what does that look like? And how do we get from here to there?   In this conversation, we're joined by Michael Wear, founder, president, and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, about the intersection of faith and politics. Michael shares insights from his book, THE SPIRIT OF OUR POLITICS, discussing his personal journey of faith, the role of Christian resources in public life, and the importance of spiritual formation. The discussion also covers Michael's reflections on political sectarianism, the importance of integrating various aspects of one's soul, and the significance of engaging in productive, humble dialogue. We touch on practical antidotes to current political polarization, and how Christians and non-Christians alike can benefit from these insights.   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics    01:03 Meet Michael Wear: Faith and Public Life 02:16 Personal Reflections and Faith 06:10 Christianity's Role in Politics 08:28 Navigating Diverse Beliefs 16:31 The Importance of Moral Knowledge 19:18 Dallas Willard's Influence 32:53 Ruby Bridges: A Lesson in Faith and Courage 40:54 Forgiveness and Public Testimonies 42:51 Misinterpretations of Biblical Actions 47:56 Political Sectarianism and Its Antidotes 50:15 Spiritual Practices for Modern Times 53:18 Introduction to 'Wear We Are' Podcast 55:37 Center for Christianity and Public Life 57:40 Apprenticeship to Jesus 01:03:37 Reflections on Political Engagement   Let us know what you think.

How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own?Our Guest this week Kaitlyn Schiess 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,  where she explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help readers faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues--and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what readers should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more.Our Guests Bio, written by Kaitlyn:I'm a writer, author, and a doctoral student at Duke Divinity School studying political theology, ethics, and biblical interpretation.

Author and speaker Kaitlyn Schiess joins Pastor Moore and Pastor Jeff to discuss her book "The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of our Neighbor." The three explore the intersection of politics and theology and discuss how the white evangelical church has been shaped by partisan politics. They reflect on how the African American theological tradition can lead us back to a more robust understanding of Jesus' vision for a kingdom of justice and shalom for all people and how the church can be those people.

Author Kaitlyn Schiess joins the show to discuss her recent book, The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor.

Kaitlyn Schiess is a writer and author who's studying for her doctorate in political theology, ethics and biblical interpretation at Duke Divinity School and has earned her ThM in systematic theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. In 2020, Kaitlyn's book The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor created quite a stir. She has also written about theology, politics, and culture in outlets such as Christianity Today, The New York Times, Sojourners, several other national publications and is rather prolific on Twitter! We cover a lot of ground in this conversation. Part of Kaitlyn's journey that is unique is that not a lot of people start out at Liberty Univ. for undergrad and then end up at Duke Divinity for their doctoral work. It was interesting to hear Kaitlyn's thoughts about where many of her Liberty classmates stand in terms of politics and theology today. We also talked about "What story am I buying into?" and how our paradigms affect how we interpret what's happening in the world. We went on to assess some of the problems that ail our culture in the church and more broadly, and we explore prescriptions of how we might be able to move forward. https://kaitlynschiess.com/ https://twitter.com/KaitlynSchiess https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynschiess/ https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780830848300

Some people say you shouldn't talk politics and religion in polite conversation, but author Kaitlyn Schiess would (politely) beg to differ. In fact, she's written a book about the connections between faith and politics. Kaitlyn is a writer and a popular Christian voice on Twitter. A ThD student at Duke Divinity School (where she's studying political theology, ethics, and biblical interpretation), she previously earned a ThM in systematic theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. Kaitlyn's book, The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor, was released by InterVarsity Press during the last presidential election year. In this episode, Heather and Kaitlyn discuss what it means to deconstruct false gospels, the difference between politics and partisanship, and the importance of using discernment in selecting the news sources we consume. Social media can be a really great place to build relationships with others, and Kaitlyn has done this so well, even while discussing difficult topics like theology and politics. She is a great resource for all of us on how we can do this better.

Her book, The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor (IVP 2020), has some very helpful things to say about how and why God's Spirit is at work in us and — surprise! — it isn't primarily for our own benefit. I have appreciated Kaitlyn's voice in the conversations at The Holy Post, a podcast she frequents as a commentator and, recently, as an interviewer. I am so encouraged to find a young sharp woman at the center of important conversations these days speaking candidly and thoughtfully about what it looks like to love God, his Word, and his world. And I look forward to the ways she will provide leadership in the Church and in our communities in the days ahead. May God increase her tribe! So, it was a treat for me to interview Kaitlyn and as others have said, I look forward to seeing where God will call her in the future. — Karen Hice Guzmán For show notes or more information please visit our article at The Well.

Author Kaitlyn Schiess joins the show to discuss her recent book, The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor.

My guest for The Happy Hour #417 is Kaitlyn Schiess. Kaitlyn Schiess is the author of The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor, and her writing has appeared at Christianity Today, The New York Times, RELEVANT, and more! In this episode, Kaitlyn shares about the ways that theology affects the solutions we pursue on political topics and problems, and the reality that Christians have always had Bible verses to back up bad theology. I love when she speaks directly to women and says “You are made in the image of God just as much as men are. And the commission that's given to you at the beginning of creation - to rule and reign and steward creation, to be God's representatives on earth - that's the same commission for you. And we are going to do that poorly if we are not well-trained in scripture.” For the full summary and links to the show, click the link below!

In this week's episode, I have a conversation with Kaitlyn Schiess about her book, The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor.

At some future date, we will bear the perfect ‘likeness' of the Son (1 Cor. 15:49 – “And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[a] bear the image of the heavenly man.”).” Mounce on Imitation: “…in the early church, many new believers needed models to show them how to live a redeemed lifestyle, since up to that time their lives...

We haven't done a full show on politics since we relaunched with Episode 13 but after reading Kaitlyn's book we thought it was time to revisit the subject! Similarly to our approach before, the goal of this episode is not to promote partisan ideologies and platforms but rather to encourage genuine reflection about how, as followers of Christ, we think and engage politically. Definitions are knocked out toward the beginning of the show for the major topics we cover, primarily: Liturgy & Spiritual Formation. Everyone of us is formed by the rituals we repeat whether they are conscious or not and Kaitlyn (and Scripture) remind us that these are things we ought to take an active role in determining for ourselves if we are to avoid being shaped by the culture around us.

This week we talk with author Kaitlyn Schiess on the way that politics flow out of our spiritual formation and vice versa. This conversation is critical in light of the political climate we live in and the overlap between our faith and the partisan divides all around us. We talk about ordering our loves, finding the power of liturgy, and learning how to live by Genesis 1 (rather than Genesis 3) in our politics. Kaitlyn Schiess is a staff writer at Christ and Pop Culture. Her writing has also appeared at Christianity Today, Relevant, and Fathom Magazine. She lives in Dallas, Texas. We talked about her recent book: The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor. You can find out more about Kaitlyn on her website. *NEW Music by Robert Ebbens.

With the election right around the corner, we had the chance to sit down with Kaitlyn Scheiss, author of The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor, and hear how she is navigating the current political climate as a Christian and how Christians can engage politically and still be Christ-like.

Kaitlyn Schiess is an author and minister. Her new book is The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor. Today, Kaitlyn shares what she learned growing up in a Christian family, choosing to go into ministry instead of law, and how churches can engage the spiritual formation of politics. Kaitlyn shares some key ways churches can engage their neighbors and why they must talk about politics. Kaitlyn's story reminds us everything is spiritual and forming even if we neglect it. Listen to Kaitlyn's story today! Stories Kaitlyn shared: Growing up as a military kid moving around Her faithful parents who were highly involved in church Changing her perspective on giving her life to Christ Feeling God's peace, comfort, and presence at a camp meeting Reading the Bible in a year as a way of developing her faith The camaraderie that came from the debate team Recognizing what an idol performance was for her Serving at camp with middle schoolers and how one week changed her life The pastor who began to open doors for her Choosing to go to seminary instead of law school Why she wrote the Liturgy of Politics How churches can engage their neighbors Why churches must be talking about politics Great quotes from Kaitlyn: You think people in your churches know things but they don't and it blows their minds. The political participation that people are involved in is forming them spiritually. If you're not talking about politics, you're not being apolitical. You're actually just reinforcing whatever bad theology people have. Start with taking care of your soul.

“We are a Bible-haunted nation.”Kaitlyn Schiess 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. She joined The Denison Forum Podcast to discuss her latest book, which Publisher's Weekly called “​​a nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language.”Schiess talks about how we can read, interpret, and apply Scripture with integrity to the working of our democracy. She also speaks to how we can rightly bridge these worlds and discover what God is saying to us through his word, the Holy Spirit, and our communities of faith. In an intriguing phrase, she calls America “a Bible-haunted nation,” and she speaks to why she labeled our country that way.Ultimately, you'll be led to ask: “How should I see myself, my opportunities, my problems, and my politics through the lens of Scripture and God's eternal and good purposes?”Topics(02:20): “I think the rest of my life is studying this stuff.”(06:16): How Schiess became involved with the Holy Post Podcast(08:49): Why Schiess wrote The Ballot and the Bible(13:37): The benefits of political fatigue(18:28): “We are a Bible-haunted nation.”(22:55): An overview of the history in The Ballot and the Bible(27:54): Why should Christians “understand the times” and the Bible?(33:50): Who should read The Ballot and the Bible?(38:04): How we misapply “Render unto Caesar” today(43:08): How Jeremiah 29 profoundly affects our political outlook today(49:40): Culture warriors vs. cultural missionaries(52:00) Schiess's hope for The Ballot and the BibleResourcesTranscript (PDF) The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here, Kaitlyn SchiessThe Bible and the Civil Rights Movement: An excerpt from The Ballot and the BibleThe Holy Post PodcastThe Holy Post Podcast on The Ballot and the Bible About Kaitlyn SchiessKaitlyn Schiess (ThM, Dallas Theological Seminary) is a writer, speaker, and theologian.
