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.

Yes! Voices like hers are so needed in the Evangelical sphere. We do need a remnant who won't bow the knee.
She’s be an awesome guest for Sharon’s podcast 😉 speaking on the historical use of scripture in politics.
I think that's an awesome idea
I have not heard of her before, but I look forward to reading and listening to her. Thank you for the recommendation!
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.
Bingo. Love Katelyn.
Yes, her books and hot takes on the Holy Post are a breath of fresh air.
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.
