579: How the Bible is Used & Abused in Politics with Kaitlyn Schiess

Aug 23, 2023 · 1h 37m

An unknown country singer with a fake name has skyrocketed to the top of the charts with the song "Rich Men North of Richmond," and the film "The Sound of Freedom" has become one of the top-grossing movies of the year. These sleeper hits were both fueled by the MAGA media and conservative audiences. What do they say about the movement and the divisions in American culture? Then, Skye talks to Kaitlyn about the launch of her new book, "The Ballot and the Bible," and the way political movements have used and abused scripture throughout American history. She also explains how George W. Bush and Barack Obama used the Bible very differently during their presidencies, and the surprising reason Obama cited scripture far more often.
