Ep. #112: Say More: Politics, Polarization and Purpose w/ Kaitlyn Schiess

“How does faith guide us through political and cultural conflicts?” In this episode, Jesse and Lindsey continue their teaching on the art of conversation. Then, Lindsey sits down with author and theologian Kaitlyn Schiess to dive into the intersection of faith, politics, and personal growth. Kaitlyn opens up about navigating her identity as both a Type 3 and a follower of Christ in polarized times. Reflecting on her journey from aspiring lawyer to theology student, she shares how her military-family upbringing shaped her resilience and drive for success. In a thoughtful conversation, Kaitlyn encourages listeners to hold space for differing perspectives and offers insights on engaging with faith and politics in ways that foster true connection and compassion. The episode wraps up with a fun lightning round, where Kaitlyn reveals her favorite dessert and the least Type 3 thing she’s ever done.
