Episode Description from the Publisher

Christian nationalism and Christians in politics are at the center of this Theology Lab with Kaitlyn Schiess (from the Holy Post podcast) and Yi-An Huang (City Manager of Cambridge, MA).They discussion Christian faith, political engagement, and the mission of the church. How should Christians engage politics without succumbing to mere rivalry or pursuing political power in and for itself, or compromising their faith? Yi-An Huang and Kaitlyn Schiess explore Christian nationalism, politics and the Bible, church unity, and faithful Christian witness. How should Christians bring their full convictions into public life while treating faith as a gift rather than a weapon, and how can churches navigate political disagreement with wisdom, prayer, and discernment? This conversation offers a thoughtful Christian perspective on politics, power, justice, and the public life of faith.
