My special guest is Kaitlyn Schiess

Introducing Kaitlyn Schiess, an esteemed author and podcaster who navigates the challenging junction of faith and politic with profound perceptiveness and finesse. Kaitlyn had an early introduction to Christianity due to her mom's engagement with local churches. This exposure influenced her values and eventually led her to study at Liberty University. Kaitlyn's college years were steeped in intense political activity, an experience that helped her reflect on her faith and life's path. Continuing her academic journey, she attended Dallas Theological Seminary and currently studies at Duke University. Her robust academic background and commitment to dissecting knotty issues equip her well to navigate the landscape of Church unity and politics.
