Polished Podcast: Refining The Details Of Life

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of The Polished Podcast, host Jane Doerman sits down with Kaitlyn Schiess—author, writer, podcaster, and Duke Divinity School student—to explore what it means to lead joyfully in a politically divided world. With a heart for integrating faith and politics, Kaitlyn shares how timeless Christian traditions, deep theology, and spiritual practices can guide us to engage the world around us without losing our convictions—or our joy. As we navigate a post-election landscape, Kaitlyn offers a fresh perspective on how faith can shape our approach to politics, not through force or division, but by modeling curiosity, hospitality, and a spirit of hope. Together, Jane and Kaitlyn unpack the complexities of living out our beliefs in a fractured political system while staying grounded in faith.
