Speaking of Democracy: The Grace Project Podcast

How can we disagree respectfully and make good decisions as a community? In a world where polarization often drowns out dialogue, Speaking of Democracy explores the ancient art of rhetoric as a modern tool for civic life.

Co-hosted by Dr. Sarah Kornfield and Hope College students, each episode features conversations with expert guests — from scholars to practitioners — who help us unpack how communication shapes our democracy. Whether you’re interested in the history of the liberal arts, the challenges of civil discourse or practical skills for engaging across differences, this podcast serves as a space for public scholarship aimed at equipping the next generation of civic leaders.

Join us as we explore what it means to deliberate well, pursue truth and build community in a complex world.
