Episode #251 - Reclaiming Hope After the Election with Kaitlyn Schiess

In this episode we’re joined by Kaitlyn Schiess, who is a Doctoral Student at Duke Divinity School, the Co-host of the Holy Post podcast and host of the Curiously Kaitlyn podcast, and the author of The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Her (published by Brazos). Over the course of our conversation, Kaitlyn shares with us how she’s processing the results of the US Elections while also offering us many wise words about managing the diverse emotional responses expressed by people in our churches and neighborhoods, the need to be curious in order to cultivate empathy for others, and the importance of showing up locally instead of being so nationally-focused, among many other valuable insights. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Madison Pierce, and Dr. Logan Williams. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
