On this episode of Nuance, Case is joined by Dr. Steven Garber, author, professor, and founder of Wedgwood Circle. Together they discuss the concept of the public square as a microcosm of the proximate, where individual lives, community responsibilities, and shared values intersect. Garber emphasizes the importance of the public square as a space for ethical and moral development, as well as the pursuit of the common good. He also shares his experiences in Central Europe after the fall of communism and the ongoing struggles faced by the people there. Dr. Garber invites all of us intentionally pursue community and vocation with Christ, opening ourselves to his leading for the sake of the Kingdom and the good of our neighbors.

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.
Our hope is that Nuance will equip our viewers with knowledge and wisdom to engage our co-workers, neighbors, and the public square in a way that reflects the beauty and grace of the Gospel.
