The Practice Church Podcast
This guided practice is a part of our series . As we seek to untangle ourselves from the partisan liturgies of our culture, we are engaging counter-formational practices.

But what if there is another way? This week Kaitlyn Schiess, author of The Liturgy of Politics, will help set the table for our journey.
