Kaitlyn Scheiss is a passionate advocate for allowing your Biblical theology to inform your political engagement. Kaitlyn’s journey began in college, where she was exposed to the complexities of the relationship between Christianity and political ideologies. This sparked her curiosity and led her to pursue a seminary degree, where she delved deeper into the theological and ethical implications of political engagement for Christians. Kaitlyn’s commitment to understanding the historical perspectives of Christians on politics has led her to pursue a PhD in the subject, with a desire to bring forgotten resources and insights back to the church. Through her writing and research, Kaitlyn seeks to guide Christians in navigating their political lives in a way that is rooted in faith and reflects the teachings of Jesus.
“We didn’t have a political theology. We had just kind of been on autopilot, and we hadn’t asked some deeper questions about what is the meaning of government? What does it mean to be a citizen in a country in which we have great political power?” -Kaitlyn Scheiss
“What does it mean for me to love my neighbor? If I have ten things I care about and I can’t vote for one person that really represents all ten of those things, what do I do then?” – Kaitlyn Scheiss
“I think the goal is lower the temperature and ask more questions, be more curious about other people. It’s really hard to be angry at someone when you’re curious about them.” -Kaitlyn Schiess
