On this episode of Nuance, Case is joined by former naval officer David McKinney to discuss his career in the military and how his faith intersected with his service. They discuss the role of Christians in the military the spiritual challenges of military life, and the importance of finding one's identity in Christ rather than in military achievements. They also explore the concept of just war theory and the challenges of decision-making in times of armed conflict.

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.
