I like Kaitlyn Schiess’ take on the misuse of Scripture in politics: that you can tell it’s being used out of context if it’s only used in favor of the nation and never to critique it. Being suspicious of the EU while viewing the US as the new Israel is not a faithful interpretation of Scripture. It’s a much more faithful reading to see patterns of behavior in nations and critique whether they are leading to flourishing or harm, while remembering there are unseen forces behind the scenes.

Yes! Voices like hers are so needed in the Evangelical sphere. We do need a remnant who won't bow the knee.

She’s a regular on The Holy Post podcast and had written a couple of books on political theology. A really solid scholar and great communicator.

The holy post is awesome! Love to see another fan here. If I didn’t have HP and my church I’d feel a lot more alone in the world.
