For many believers, major life wounds, like childhood church hurt or the loss of a close friend, make a good and powerful God feel distant. When the anchor meant to hold you steady seems to give way, the spiritual crisis makes all other suffering worse.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp welcomes back Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague, co-authors of Mid-Faith Crisis, to discuss the personal origin stories behind their book. Catherine shares the difficult experience of being shunned by her church family at twelve years old. Jason discusses the grief of his children's severe health diagnoses and the loss of a close friend, leaving him preaching sermons he was not sure he believed. Case also shares about trusting God's providence during his wife's battle with cancer and a recent stroke.

Catherine and Jason offer practical steps for surviving dark spiritual valleys, like practicing honest lament and using contemplative prayer to calm the nervous system. They explain how taking your anger directly to God and finding a safe community can lead to a mature faith.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • 🌪️ The Compounding Crisis: A faith crisis makes health or vocational struggles much harder. We discuss what it feels like when your spiritual anchor is lost.
  • 💔 The Broken Contract: The unique struggle of believing in a good and powerful God when circumstances are painful.
  • 🐑 The Seeking Shepherd: Catherine's experience of trusting God's slow providence and moving from decades of darkness into new spiritual life.
  • 🗣️ The Power of Lament: Hiding our anger creates distance from God. We look at why bringing your frustration to the Lord is a biblical practice.
  • 🧘 Contemplative Healing: Using the Prayer of Examen and breath prayers to soothe spiritual trauma and remember what we already believe.

Many believers eventually hit a wall where doubt, suffering, or church hurt make everything they thought they knew feel like it's dissolving. 

Navigating this disillusionment isn't a sign of failure. It is often a deeply normal, expected part of the spiritual lifecycle that is rarely talked about openly. 

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague, co-authors of the book Mid-Faith Crisis. Catherine and Jason unpack the difference between toxic spiritual environments and normal human failing, the danger of bringing consumer-culture expectations into our theology, and how to survive the inevitable valleys of faith. Drawing on their pastoral and personal experiences, they provide a roadmap for believers who feel stuck, showing that the path to true spiritual maturity often requires moving past easy answers and learning to sit in the sanctuary of God's presence. 

From releasing unrealistic expectations to understanding the spiritual rhythms of consolation and desolation, Catherine and Jason help modern believers see how pressing through the darkness eventually leads to a more resilient, flourishing faith. 

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • 📉 The Mid-Faith Crisis: Defining what it means to hit a spiritual dead end after years of commitment, and why it so closely parallels a mid-life crisis. 
  • ⛰️ Valleys vs. Mountaintops: Why the expectation of a constantly flourishing faith is unbiblical, and how to embrace the natural spiritual seasons of consolation and desolation. 
  • ⛪ Navigating Church Hurt: Discerning the crucial difference between toxic, abusive institutions that lack accountability and normal, flawed human communities. 
  • 🛒 Consumer-Culture Christianity: How "magic bullet" theology and false expectations set us up for profound disappointment when real-world suffering strikes. 
  • 📖 Psalm 73 and Sanctuary: Finding hope and reorientation not by demanding immediate answers, but by remaining present in the sanctuary of God.

In the modern medical economy, clinics and hospitals have become fast-paced hubs of technical performance, where patients and practitioners alike can easily feel reduced to mere commodities.   

Healthcare professionals are suddenly being asked to carry overwhelming physical and emotional workloads, leading many to suffer from severe compassion fatigue.  

The question is no longer whether our medical systems can cure physical ailments, but how practitioners can sustain their own humanity, empathy, and faith in the process.

From surviving 12-hour shifts to navigating the dehumanizing aspects of modern medicine, Dr. Topazian explains how to connect with God's presence to mitigate burnout.

In the modern medical economy, clinics and hospitals have become fast-paced hubs of technical performance, where the deeper meaning of care is easily lost in the shuffle.

Healthcare professionals are suddenly being asked to carry overwhelming physical and emotional workloads, leading many to feel exhausted or disenfranchised. The question is no longer whether our medical systems can cure physical ailments, but what kind of spiritual blindness is being formed in the process.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp welcomes gastroenterologist, professor, and author Dr. Mark Topazian to explore vocation, perception, and spiritual reality in healthcare. Dr. Topazian pulls back the curtain on the rapid commercialization of medicine and shares how learning to see differently can restore purpose to an already overwhelming job without adding a single thing to a clinician's to-do list. From serving in international missions to taking practical spiritual histories at the bedside, Dr. Topazian explains how to recognize God’s kingdom active in our clinics and hospitals.

Through their discussion, Dr. Topazian helps listeners see how a mature, Christian worldview can withstand the intense pressures of a modern healthcare culture.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

🏥 The Spiritual Blindness in Healthcare: Confronting the idea that clinics and hospitals are spiritually neutral or merely cold, empirical spaces, and establishing why all true healing ultimately points to the kingdom of God.

📜 The Christian History of the Hospital: A look back at how the Christian tradition and a biblical view of human dignity directly birthed the modern hospital system, transforming how society cares for the sick and disabled.

🩺 Burnout vs. Missing Meaning: Redefining clinical burnout not merely as a crisis of workload or long hours, but as a crisis of meaning that can be recovered through attentiveness and true seeing.

📋 The FICA & LORD Frameworks: Practical, non-coercive tools for healthcare workers to take spiritual histories, helping clinicians put on "3D glasses" to care for patients as body, soul, and spirit.

🌍 Global Medicine & Training: A look inside Dr. Topazian's current work in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, exploring the unique challenges and rewards of training the next generation of specialized physicians in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In the modern sports economy, name, image, and likeness have become massive assets, and the transfer portal has completely rewritten the rules of loyalty. 

College athletes are suddenly being asked to make massive, adult business decisions before they have even reached adult maturity. The question is no longer whether sports shape our culture, but what kind of people the system forms in the process.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp welcomes Ben Godwin, Vice President of Licensing at Catapult, to explore faith, work, and moral presence in the modern sports economy. Ben pulls back the curtain on the rapid professionalization of college athletes and shares how faith and work shape his approach to leading with integrity in a high-speed system where incentives often point elsewhere. From sports data analytics to corporate clearances, Ben explains how to bring order and truth to a tumultuous landscape. 

Through their discussion, Ben helps listeners see how a mature, Christian worldview can withstand the intense pressures of a "win-now" culture.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

📜 The NIL & Portal Revolution: Unpacking the rapid litigation that legally opened Pandora's box overnight, transforming the NCAA into a free-market system akin to professional free agency.

📊 The Power of Sports Data Analytics: How Catapult aggregates up to 800 data points a second from wearable player devices to manage athlete health, optimize performance, and drive media distribution.

⚖️ Protecting Athletes in "The Wild": Navigating the gray areas of booster deals and uncertified agents, and why unrepresented or lower-level college athletes are particularly vulnerable to being taken advantage of by major brands.

⏱️ The "Microwave Society": Confronting a cultural landscape that demands instant results, immediate payouts, and five-minute highlight reels at the expense of patience, mentoring, and character growth.

🙏 Spiritual Parenting & Biblical Parenting: A look inside Ben's life as a father of five, sharing practical parenting advice for raising kids with courage, trust, and faith through the chaos of daily life.

The Trinity & Council of Nicea Explained with Dr. Jonathan Lett 3 3 Are You Accidentally a Heretic? The Trinity & Council of Nicea Explained with Dr. Jonathan Lett full 831eff1d-b576-4a0e-82a2-bb3469d44da1 https://share.transistor.fm/s/c70e01f9 What happens when the foundational beliefs of your faith are suddenly up for debate? 1700 years ago, a fractured early church gathered not to innovate, but to confess—and to say something out loud, together, in public.

Understanding the nature of Jesus and the Trinity is the absolute bedrock of the Christian faith, yet many modern believers struggle to articulate it.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp welcomes back Dr. Jonathan Lett to explore the legacy of the Council of Nicaea and why a 4th-century debate still matters today. Jonathan unpacks the controversy surrounding the Arian heresy and clarifies how the Nicene Creed was ultimately about reading Scripture rightly. Drawing on his deep theological expertise, he makes the case that the doctrine of the Trinity isn't just an abstract puzzle, but the very foundation for Christian prayer, worship, and vocation.

From navigating ancient theological debates to understanding complex terms like "consubstantial," Jonathan helps modern believers see how the eternal relationship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit directly shapes our daily lives.

Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The Arian Heresy: Unpacking the 4th-century belief that Jesus was merely a created being and why getting this wrong threatens the Christian understanding of salvation.
  • Reading Scripture Rightly: How the Council of Nicaea wasn't just about philosophical arguments, but about establishing the correct framework for interpreting the Bible.
  • Begotten, Not Made: Decoding the complex, non-biological language of the Nicene Creed and why specific words were essential to defend the faith.
  • Faith Seeking Understanding: Shifting from trying to intellectually solve the Trinity to actively participating in the eternal life of God through prayer and obedience.
  • Trinitarian Vocation: How understanding God as a communal being changes how we approach our daily work and our role in the public sphere.

Understanding the nature of Jesus and the Trinity is the absolute bedrock of the Christian faith, yet many modern believers struggle to articulate it.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp welcomes back Dr. Jonathan Lett to explore the legacy of the Council of Nicaea and why a 4th-century debate still matters today. Jonathan unpacks the controversy surrounding the Arian heresy and clarifies how the Nicene Creed was ultimately about reading Scripture rightly. Drawing on his deep theological expertise, he makes the case that the doctrine of the Trinity isn't just an abstract puzzle, but the very foundation for Christian prayer, worship, and vocation.

From navigating ancient theological debates to understanding complex terms like "consubstantial," Jonathan helps modern believers see how the eternal relationship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit directly shapes our daily lives.

Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The Arian Heresy: Unpacking the 4th-century belief that Jesus was merely a created being and why getting this wrong threatens the Christian understanding of salvation.
  • Reading Scripture Rightly: How the Council of Nicaea wasn't just about philosophical arguments, but about establishing the correct framework for interpreting the Bible.
  • Begotten, Not Made: Decoding the complex, non-biological language of the Nicene Creed and why specific words were essential to defend the faith.
  • Faith Seeking Understanding: Shifting from trying to intellectually solve the Trinity to actively participating in the eternal life of God through prayer and obedience.
  • Trinitarian Vocation: How understanding God as a communal being changes how we approach our daily work and our role in the public sphere.

For millions of people, our phones, algorithms, and digital tools are actively shaping our attention and reworking our labor.

Finding a way to flourish in a tech-driven world is one of the defining spiritual challenges of our time, and many of us are underprepared to address it.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Dr. Jonathan Lett, Director of the Faith, Science, and Technology Initiative at LeTourneau University, to explore the foundational questions we must ask before we build the next big thing. Jonathan argues that before deciding what to do with tech, we must first understand what it means to be human. Drawing on theological anthropology and his deep study of limits, dependence, and embodied existence, he makes the case that true freedom isn't found in overcoming our boundaries, but in embracing them.

From challenging the "Silicon Valley ideology" to understanding how technology offers shortcuts around our natural limits, Jonathan's work helps us integrate ancient Christian wisdom into our modern digital lives.

Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The Silicon Valley Illusion: The myth that tech creators aren't responsible for their platforms, and why we must make public decisions about our digital tools.
  • What It Means to Be Human: Redefining human nature through the lens of limits, dependence, and our deeply "embodied existence."
  • Freedom Through Limits: How our modern allergy to limits hurts our spiritual formation, and why embracing constraints is the true path to freedom.
  • The Anxious Generation: Discussing the impact of screens on children's mental health and the urgent need to protect the developing mind.
  • Coding as Ministry: How LeTourneau University equips the next generation of engineers to view coding as a genuine theological calling.

David Kim full 6f0cf9cd-1e9c-41e2-a146-da515feed836 https://share.transistor.fm/s/884983ac If God can speak through a donkey, can He speak through artificial intelligence? 

AI and the church are converging faster than most Christians are prepared to engage, and the theological stakes are higher than the cultural conversation usually acknowledges.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Reverend Dr. David Kim, founder of Goldenwood, to explore what Christians and AI have to say to one another. David argues that because God's providence remains active in the world, faith and artificial intelligence need not be held apart. The church can approach new technologies with "hopeful intelligence," a posture that takes seriously both AI's capacity for deception and its potential for genuine good. Drawing on Walter Brueggemann's prophetic imagination, David makes the case that AI can expand our ability to understand systemic brokenness and materialize hope in concrete ways. 

From an "exilic" posture toward cultural engagement to the practical implications of what David calls "the enchanted frame," this conversation offers a theological grammar for one of the defining technologies of our time.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • Hopeful Intelligence: Moving beyond fear to envision how generative AI can connect people and materialize hope in practical ways.
  • Exilic Discipleship: Understanding our relationship with technology through the Old Testament paradigm of living as exiles who seek the peace of the city.
  • The Prophetic Imagination and AI: Applying Brueggemann's concepts to see how AI's ability to synthesize massive amounts of data can help humans grasp the true complexity of systemic brokenness.
  • The Enchanted Frame: How giving a large language model parameters that assume God's presence shifts its outputs and opens it as a tool for spiritual reflection.
  • The Deception Concern: Acknowledging the Genesis 3-rooted dangers of AI being used to blur the lines between truth and deception.

David Kim 3 3 Purpose After Retirement: Why the Exit Out of Work Matters More Than the Entrance | Rev. David Kim full 6e6adb72-a633-4bad-ae93-4babb4ec2218 https://share.transistor.fm/s/65f0ce1f What happens when the career ends and the calendar opens up? For millions of people, the question shifts from "What do I do next?" to "What am I for now?" 

Finding purpose after retirement is one of the defining spiritual challenges of our time, and most churches are underprepared to address it.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Reverend Dr. David Kim, founder of Goldenwood, to explore vocation after retirement as a distinct and active calling. David argues that the later decades of life carry their own vocational weight, marked by availability, discernment, and gift. Drawing on his research and work with Goldenwood's Nautilus program, he makes the case that calling is a dynamic relationship that stays highly active even after the 9-to-5 ends. 

From navigating the "third-third" of life to challenging the myth that relevance fades with age, David's work helps older generations integrate their wisdom into the church and the broader culture.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The Post-Income Years: Redefining retirement as the "third-third" of life and discovering how vocational calling becomes more pertinent during this season.
  • Emeritus for All: Why every industry should look to the university and the church to adopt an "emeritus" model that honors older workers and facilitates the transfer of generational wisdom.
  • Mentorship vs. Companionship: Shifting from formal mentorship to walking side-by-side as companions to foster authentic, cross-generational connection.
  • Exercising Spiritual Muscles: Building spiritual competencies before retirement to navigate the fears, doubts, and identity losses that come with leaving the workforce.
  • Opening the Spiritual Imagination: How programs like Nautilus help individuals envision the next decade of life and resist settling for comfort alone.

]]> What happens when the career ends and the calendar opens up? For millions of people, the question shifts from "What do I do next?" to "What am I for now?" 

Finding purpose after retirement is one of the defining spiritual challenges of our time, and most churches are underprepared to address it.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Reverend Dr. David Kim, founder of Goldenwood, to explore vocation after retirement as a distinct and active calling. David argues that the later decades of life carry their own vocational weight, marked by availability, discernment, and gift. Drawing on his research and work with Goldenwood's Nautilus program, he makes the case that calling is a dynamic relationship that stays highly active even after the 9-to-5 ends. 

From navigating the "third-third" of life to challenging the myth that relevance fades with age, David's work helps older generations integrate their wisdom into the church and the broader culture.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The Post-Income Years: Redefining retirement as the "third-third" of life and discovering how vocational calling becomes more pertinent during this season.
  • Emeritus for All: Why every industry should look to the university and the church to adopt an "emeritus" model that honors older workers and facilitates the transfer of generational wisdom.
  • Mentorship vs. Companionship: Shifting from formal mentorship to walking side-by-side as companions to foster authentic, cross-generational connection.
  • Exercising Spiritual Muscles: Building spiritual competencies before retirement to navigate the fears, doubts, and identity losses that come with leaving the workforce.
  • Opening the Spiritual Imagination: How programs like Nautilus help individuals envision the next decade of life and resist settling for comfort alone.

In this second episode of a two-part conversation on the Nuance podcast, host Case Thorp continues his discussion with Dr. Wesley Vander Lugt, editor of A Prophet in the Darkness, to ponder the broader intersections of faith, theology, and the arts. 


Wes argues that because humans are made in the image of a Creator, we are all naturally creative—and what we create ultimately reveals what we worship. Drawing on his work at Gordon-Conwell, he makes the case that visual art offers a profound, mysterious encounter with God that transcends propositional knowledge and mere words.

From navigating the Reformed tradition's historic preference for an "aesthetics of the ear" to challenging the myth of the isolated artist, Wes’s work seeks to integrate holistic, sensory experiences into Christian worship, spiritual formation, and the public square.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • Art as Worship: Why our creative outputs are the truest indicators of what we value and revere. 
  • The Triad of Resonance: The importance of availability, perception, and response when engaging with art.
  • The "Slow Art" Movement: Why 15 seconds isn't enough time to look at a painting and how slowing down transforms us. 
  • Aesthetics of the Ear vs. the Eye: Exploring how different church traditions privilege different sensory experiences in worship. 
  • Sub-Creation: Understanding Tolkien's concept of refracting God's creative light in our daily work. 
  • Art in the Workplace: Practical ways non-artists can use the arts to get unstuck and spark creativity in their vocations.

In this episode of the Nuance podcast, host Case Thorp sits down with Dr. Wesley Vander Lugt, a theologian, teacher, and acting director of the Leighton Ford Initiative for Theology, the Arts, and the Gospel Witness at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, to explore the challenging and deeply faithful work of early 20th-century French painter Georges Rouault.

Wes argues that Rouault was a true prophet in the darkness. Drawing on Rouault's focus on marginalized figures—clowns, prostitutes, and judges juxtaposed with Christ—Wes makes the case that true beauty doesn't shy away from suffering. He believes Rouault's art forces us to grapple with reality as God sees it, rather than settling for mere sentimentality or brutalism. 


From surviving a war-torn Paris that inspired his famous Miserere series to experiencing rejection from both secular and sacred art worlds, Rouault's lonely journey was sustained by a fierce dedication to his craft and his faith. 


🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The Prophetic Voice of Art: Understanding Georges Rouault's unique ability to tell the truth "slant." 
  • Sentimentality vs. Brutalism: How Rouault avoids ignoring the brokenness while still offering resurrection hope. 
  • The Miserere Series: A deep dive into Rouault's iconic copper etchings born out of the First World War. 
  • Beauty in the Shadows: Why engaging with heavy, lament-filled art is essential for the Christian life. 
  • Seeing as God Sees: The tension between our cultural perspectives and ultimate reality.

In this special episode of the Nuance podcast, we’re flipping the script: usual host Case Thorp steps into the guest seat as he is interviewed by guest host Katie Shook.

While Nuance typically explores the intersection of faith and public life through various experts, today we dive into the personal story and "upstream" philosophy of Case himself. He opens up about his childhood in the Atlanta suburbs, his "obnoxious" days as a college activist, and how his view of public engagement shifted from political power to "faithful presence." 

Whether you’re feeling weary of cultural conflict or searching for a way to make your daily work matter for the common good, this conversation offers a hopeful, nuanced vision for the future of our shared life.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The McDonald’s Fit: Case recounts a pivotal childhood memory of seeing a homeless man in the suburbs and the realization that faith must have a real-world impact outside the church walls.
  • Faith in the Financial World: Guest host Katie Shook discusses her role in asset management and how understanding the intersection of faith and work gives purpose to her daily professional life.
  • Moving Upstream of Politics: Why Case shifted from being a political science major to ministry, driven by the conviction that politics is "downstream" from culture.
  • Faithful Presence vs. Power: A look at the concept of "faithful presence" (via James Davison Hunter)—staying true to convictions without "lobbing bombs" at the institutions around us.
  • Institution Building: The importance of "the elders at the city gate"—leaders in business, law, and education who lead for the common good rather than their own bottom line.
  • Lessons from the Past: Case shares his new hero, Ida B. Wells, and how her "quiet, faithful persistence" as a journalist and Presbyterian changed the American consciousness.
  • Civility in the Church: How the "Essentials vs. Non-Essentials" framework in the EPC denomination allows for firm doctrine alongside freedom and joy in relationships.

Nuance is a podcast of The Collaborative where we wrestle together about living our Christian faith in the public square. Nuance invites Christians to pursue the cultural and economic renewal by living out faith through work every facet of public life, including work, political engagement, the arts, philanthropy, and more. 

Each episode, Dr. Case Thorp hosts conversations with Christian thinkers and leaders at the forefront of some of today's most pressing issues around living a public faith.

]]> How does a person of faith engage in a public square that feels loud, fragmented, and often exhausting? 

In this special episode of the Nuance podcast, we’re flipping the script: usual host Case Thorp steps into the guest seat as he is interviewed by guest host Katie Shook.

While Nuance typically explores the intersection of faith and public life through various experts, today we dive into the personal story and "upstream" philosophy of Case himself. He opens up about his childhood in the Atlanta suburbs, his "obnoxious" days as a college activist, and how his view of public engagement shifted from political power to "faithful presence." 

Whether you’re feeling weary of cultural conflict or searching for a way to make your daily work matter for the common good, this conversation offers a hopeful, nuanced vision for the future of our shared life.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The McDonald’s Fit: Case recounts a pivotal childhood memory of seeing a homeless man in the suburbs and the realization that faith must have a real-world impact outside the church walls.
  • Faith in the Financial World: Guest host Katie Shook discusses her role in asset management and how understanding the intersection of faith and work gives purpose to her daily professional life.
  • Moving Upstream of Politics: Why Case shifted from being a political science major to ministry, driven by the conviction that politics is "downstream" from culture.
  • Faithful Presence vs. Power: A look at the concept of "faithful presence" (via James Davison Hunter)—staying true to convictions without "lobbing bombs" at the institutions around us.
  • Institution Building: The importance of "the elders at the city gate"—leaders in business, law, and education who lead for the common good rather than their own bottom line.

In this episode of the Nuance podcast, host Case Thorp sits down with Dan Kirby, an architect, urban planner, civic leader, and the first Black president of AIA Florida, to explore the profound moral weight carried by the built environment.

Dan argues that cities are never neutral. Drawing on decades of work at the intersection of architecture, urban planning, and public ethics, he makes the case that design either serves people or sentences them. He believes that Christian faith offers a distinct framework for choosing service over sentence.

From the blueprints his father brought home when he was seven to designing people-centered cities at Jacobs, a 50,000 person global firm, Dan’s journey into architecture and his walk with Jesus are, in his words, the same story.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The Morality of Space: Why cities and buildings are moral environments rather than neutral spaces.
  • Designing for People: Moving beyond car-centric design and what that actually requires for human connection.
  • The Planner’s Ethics: The urban planner’s code of ethics and the call to represent those who are not sitting at the table.
  • Thriving Through Senses: How beauty, awe, and the physical senses shape human thriving within a city.
  • Public Interest Design: Using faith as a framework for designing for the common good and the public interest.
  • Inspiration vs. Oppression: Understanding architecture as a tool that can be used for both human inspiration and systemic oppression.
  • Future Ethics: Navigating the roles of AI and sustainability in the future of ethical design.

George full e49c9452-458c-45e4-bf0a-497897022579 https://share.transistor.fm/s/8795db7e How does a person of faith stand firm in an increasingly secular public square? In Part 2 of our conversation on the Nuance podcast, host Case Thorp dives into the personal life and spiritual journey of Dr. Robert P. George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University.

While our first episode focused on the philosophical roots of human rights, today we explore the personal convictions that drive Dr. George's work. He opens up about his unique upbringing in West Virginia, the profound influence of medieval philosophy, and his experiences navigating 41 years at Princeton University as a conservative Catholic. Whether you are concerned about the state of higher education, the shrinking attention spans of modern students, or the decline of the family unit, this episode is packed with essential wisdom for passing down virtue to the next generation.

🔑 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:
A Unique Spiritual Upbringing: Dr. George shares how growing up in West Virginia with a Syrian Orthodox father, an Italian Catholic mother, and evangelical Protestant friends shaped his faith.

The Power of Medieval Philosophy: Why the scholastic methods of thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and Moses Maimonides are the ultimate tools for discovering truth through rigorous debate.

Billy Graham Crusades: Dr. George reflects on his childhood experience attending a Billy Graham crusade in Atlanta and his deep appreciation for the evangelical tradition.

41 Years at Princeton University: The shift from "old-school liberalism" (which valued free speech and debate) to the modern progressive ideologies dominating college campuses today.

The Attention Span Crisis: How smartphones and screen time have severely shortened student attention spans, making it difficult for the younger generation to engage in deep reading.

The Decline of the Family: Why institutions like government and the economy cannot produce virtuous citizens on their own—and why mothers, fathers, and local churches are the true bedrock of society.

Advising Presidents & Meeting Popes: Dr. George recounts his time advising the George W. Bush administration on bioethics and shares a touching story about meeting Pope John Paul II.

On this episode of Nuance, Case interviews Peter Greer about how small loans are restoring dignity and hope in some of the world's most underserved communities. Peter explains the "math of the Kingdom," where a single seed of investment can multiply a hundredfold, not just in financial returns, but in restored families and thriving churches.

Through moving examples, they discuss the difference between a "scarcity mindset" and an "abundance mindset," showing how even the smallest act of planting a seed can lead to a harvest that feeds nations. Peter also tackles the tough questions about dependency and explains why savings-first models are often more effective than debt. This is a deep dive into how faith and finance intersect to create lasting change.

On this episode of Nuance, Case interviews Peter Greer about the subtle mechanics of "mission drift," not just in organizations, but in the hearts of those who lead them. Peter shares vulnerable insights from his tenure at Hope International, discussing how easy it is to focus so hard on the work of the ministry that you lose connection with the God of the ministry.

This episode dives into the counter-intuitive strategies for staying grounded, including why you should schedule time to write your own eulogy and how to identify when you are paddling hard but looking down, unaware that you have drifted far from shore. They also tackle the uncomfortable reality that talent and track records are no guarantee against losing your way, emphasizing that the most successful leaders are often the ones most in need of a "mission audit" to ensure their outer success matches their inner integrity.

Building on the previous discussion of everyday Christians who worked for justice, this episode explores how discipleship shapes moral courage, how churches can renew civic life, and why racial justice belongs within the Christian calling to love our neighbors well.

Dr. Johnson reflects on how historical formation shapes Christian faithfulness over time, explaining how ordinary believers have learned to act without certainty of outcomes, trusting God rather than control. Through stories of figures such as John Perkins, Clarence Jordan, and the ongoing witness of Koinonia Farm, the conversation highlights how public faithfulness has often grown out of community, hospitality, and costly obedience rather than comfort or recognition.

The episode also examines the church’s role in moments of social tension, including conversations around immigration, racial identity, and national belonging. Dr. Johnson draws on Christian history to show how these debates are not new, and how the church has struggled to hold together evangelism, discipleship, and social responsibility without fragmenting the gospel. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes the importance of faithfulness over outcomes, patience over certainty, and humility in the face of complex moral decisions.

This conversation invites listeners to consider how Christian public witness is formed through long obedience, communal life, and trust in God’s work across generations. It offers a hopeful and historically-grounded vision of how churches and ordinary believers can participate faithfully in the public square today.

Drawing from her book Ordinary Heroes of Racial Justice, Dr. Johnson shows how meaningful change has frequently emerged through believers who acted with courage and conviction within their vocations, churches, classrooms, and neighborhoods.

The conversation reframes racial justice as a matter of Christian discipleship formed over time through Scripture, historical memory, and love of neighbor. Dr. Johnson helps listeners see how sin can become embedded in social systems, why attention to history is essential for faithful engagement, and how ordinary Christians have responded to injustice without seeking prominence or control. By recovering stories from across racial and cultural lines, this episode expands the Christian imagination for what public faithfulness can look like in complex social contexts.

Throughout the discussion, Dr. Johnson reflects on figures such as Clarence Jordan and the witness of Koinonia Farm, as well as the enduring legacy of Ida B. Wells. These examples invite Christians to consider how patient faithfulness, moral courage, and communal commitment have shaped public life in lasting ways. The episode encourages listeners to think carefully about how historical formation can guide faithful action today.

]]> Thu, 22 Jan 2026 04:30:00 -0500 The Collaborative The Collaborative 2399 What does faithfulness look like when artificial intelligence is shaping our work, our decisions, and even our relationships?

In this episode of Nuance, Case is joined by Todd Korpi, author of AI Goes to Church (InterVarsity Press), to examine how emerging technologies are reshaping the workplace—and what Christian theology has to say about it.

As AI moves from the lab into everyday life, this conversation goes beyond short-term questions about tools and productivity to address deeper issues of human identity, public witness, and wisdom at work. Together, they reflect on how artificial intelligence challenges our understanding of the image of God, human relationships, and the pace and purpose of modern work.

In this follow-up conversation, Dr. Joshua Chatraw and Tanner move from diagnosing fear to exploring a more grounded vision of faith at work. Instead of focusing on winning arguments or having everything figured out, they reflect on how Christian witness is formed through character, humility, and presence in everyday professional life.

Through real-world case studies, including AI and technology ethics, nonprofit leadership, and workplace decision-making, they show how faith becomes visible not primarily through what we say, but through how we live and work alongside others.

From fear of saying the wrong thing to anxiety about workplace consequences, many believers feel stuck between silence and pressure to perform.

Rather than offering debate tactics or quick apologetics formulas, this episode examines the deeper reasons faith feels risky in public life and how to respond in a way that reflects the depth and beauty of the Gospel.

During this fourth week of Advent, we explore how small, faithful choices in everyday life can have lasting impact—without the need for attention or public recognition. This episode invites listeners to think about what it means to live out God’s calling in a noisy world and how silent witness can make a difference in ways words often cannot.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case sits down with Dr. May Young—author, pastor, and scholar—to explore the surprising power of lament as a formative spiritual practice for believers navigating real-world pressures.

Drawing from her new InterVarsity Press book, Walking with God Through the Valley: Recovering the Purpose of Biblical Lament, Dr. Young shares why lament is more than expressing sorrow—it’s an act of faith, honesty, and hope. From the Psalms to Lamentations, lament gives Christians language for grief, injustice, confusion, and the long road of waiting. It also gives us a public, communal way to name what’s broken while trusting God to establish the work of our hands.

In this conversation, Case and Dr. Young discuss how lament shapes our spiritual life, our workplaces, our leadership, and our communities. They talk about lament in seasons of betrayal or loss, lament in moments of cultural conflict, and how institutions can embrace lament as a way of acknowledging harm and restoring trust. If you’ve ever wondered how to pray when you're overwhelmed, how to lead when people are hurting, or how to stay grounded when the world feels chaotic, this episode offers a thoughtful and deeply biblical guide.

John’s challenge to “produce fruit in keeping with repentance” pushes us to consider what real spiritual preparation looks like during Advent. Instead of rushing through the season, his example redirects us toward humility, honesty, and a life ready for the arrival of Jesus.

This Scripture meditation explores why John the Baptist steps away from priestly privilege, why his voice matters during Advent, and how his message shapes Christian formation today. If you’re searching for an Advent reflection on repentance, biblical preparation, or a deeper look at John the Baptist in Matthew 3, this episode offers a clear, grounded guide for walking through the season with intention and faith.

Nuance's Formed for Faithfulness is a weekly liturgy to encourage all of us to be faithful to Christ in the public square. Join Case Thorp and other guests as they follow the Church calendar through the reading of Scripture, prayer, and short reflections on faith in all facets of public life.

In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Gisela Kreglinger and Randy Frazee to explore how wine functions as a powerful spiritual tool—rooted in scripture, hospitality, and the sacramental life of the church.

Gisela and Randy share how their personal experiences with wine have shaped their understanding of faith and community. They dive into the origins of the “Wine in the Word” study, a unique blend of theology, biblical symbolism, agrarian insights, and wine appreciation that helps believers connect more deeply with the story of God. Along the way, they unpack how wine reflects themes of suffering and abundance in the Lord’s Supper, why younger generations are rediscovering sacramental practices, and how cultural backgrounds shape our perspectives on wine in the Christian life.

Enjoy a rich and engaging episode for anyone interested in spiritual formation, Christian community, biblical studies, hospitality, and the role of wine in faith and culture.

Through Scripture readings from 1 Timothy 6, Amos 6, and Luke 16:19-31, and a heartfelt prayer by Pastor Scotty Smith, we are reminded that the love of money leads to ruin, but trusting God brings true life. Case challenges us to recognize the subtle influence of advertising, embrace gratitude, and live generously as Christ calls us.

They also explore the intersection of faith and science, reflecting on common narratives in our culture and their impact on our understanding of faith and morality.

Take note: David Hicks uses the term myth to describe the narratives that undergird both religious and non-religious traditions. As Case points out, the term myth does not imply fiction or falsehood. As part of the Reformed and evangelical Christian traditions, The Collaborative affirms the inerrancy of the Bible as foundational for our faith and practice as Christians. At the same time, we acknowledge that various interpretive approaches to Scripture exist as secondary theological issues, which may differ among Christian denominations.

However, finding the origins of this challenge have proven difficult. On this episode of Nuance, Case interviews Michael Graham, co-author of The Great De-Churching, to discuss the surprising data behind the exodus from the pew.

While the church is facing a seismic demographic shift, Graham gives reason to hope that the church can draw people back. He also provides concrete ways that anyone in the local church can help friends, neighbors, and co-workers to rejoin Christ-centered communities.

Principled pluralism is a critical component to a flourishing Christian citizenship. It is the idea that we live in a pluralistic society, whether we want to or not, and in the midst of such different perspectives how do we have clear principles upon which we stand. Today in America emotions are high, political opinions are deep, and truth is often blurred making it incredibly more difficult to enjoy our colleagues, bosses, and work teams.
