On this episode of Nuance, guest host Tanner Fox is joined by Dr. Kelly Kapic, author and professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College. Together they explore the themes of human limitations, the necessity of slowing down, and the balance between productivity and humanity. They discuss how society's obsession with efficiency can lead to dehumanization along with the importance of recognizing our creatureliness as a gift from God. Dr. Kapic advocates for setting boundaries in work culture to honor humanity and promote well-being, while also highlighting the value of proximity in fostering genuine community connections.
