Can a Christian follow the way of Jesus inside one of the world's most powerful and cynical institutions? And what does faithful public service actually look like when the stakes are millions of lives? JD explores this theme with Santiago Gonzalez, a former legislative director and top policy staffer in the US Senate, who recently joined a government affairs firm after years working on Capitol Hill. Santiago's journey began with a failed attempt at medicine, a global health class that changed everything, and a fellowship he stumbled into almost by accident. Along the way he worked to reauthorise federal programmes reducing premature births, championed legislation on antimicrobial resistance, and wrestled daily with what it means to negotiate, network, and legislate as someone formed in the way of Jesus. He draws on the stories of Joseph, Daniel, and Esther to argue that the most powerful thing a Christian can bring to politics is not strategy or connections, but a deeply formed life.
