Manage episode 378683742 series 2612633
With another election season approaching, how can Christians navigate the challenging political landscape without losing their souls?
In this season, we’ll dive deep into the topic of engaging in politics while remaining spiritually grounded and relationally connected.
I'm your new host, Kaitlyn Schiess, and together, we'll embark on a journey of thought-provoking conversations with a diverse range of experts and individuals who bring invaluable firsthand experiences from the world of politics.
Our esteemed guests include Pastor Tyler Burns, therapist Aundi Kolber, and theologian Luke Bretherton, among others.
Plus, we'll hear from some people who've been in the political trenches themselves, like Michael Wear, the president of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, and Shannan Martin, a current candidate for City Council in Goshen, Indiana.
Through their stories and insights, we'll be inspired and equipped to navigate the challenges of representing Christ faithfully in our public lives.
So, make sure to subscribe to "The Disrupters" on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the IVP YouTube channel, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Our first episode with Tyler Burns drops on October 16, so mark your calendars.
Let's shake things up and have some real talk about faith, politics, and personal growth.
In this episode, we highlight the following themes:
- The challenges of engaging in politics as a Christian
- Kaitlyn’s background in political theology and books authored
- Preview of topics and guests for the season
For its fifth season, hosted by Kaitlyn Schiess, The Disrupters podcast from IVP asks the question, "What does it mean to disrupt ourselves?"
