Resilience, Vocation, and Pilgrimage with Dr. Bobbi Patterson

Nuance: Being Faithful in the Public Square

On this episode of Nuance, Case is joined by Dr. Barbara A.B. (Bobbi) Patterson, retired professor of pedagogy at Emory University. Together they explore the intersection of spirituality, education, and community engagement, along with the rich history of Emory as a place of learning and faith. Patterson also describes the pilgrimages she has been on, and the deep spiritual growth that occurred. Together they discuss the history of Iona, Scotland and its spiritual roots in Christianity. The conversation concludes with an emphasis on resilience in the face of societal changes and the call to discover one's vocation in the church today.

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.
