Why Do We Crave Beauty?

Why Do We Crave Beauty?

Between Sundays™ by Grace Church

Episode notes

Why do our souls crave beauty, and what is it pointing us toward?

In this episode Tyler, Maron, and Barry dive into beauty from the "What If It's True?" series. We explore why humans yearn for beauty, trace beauty from the Garden of Eden to the tabernacle to Jesus as the new creation, and wrestle with the evolutionary vs. theological explanations for why we appreciate beauty. We discuss counterfeit beauty as an idol, how transcendent moments of beauty lift us from our lowest points, the need for sacred spaces, and practical ways to pursue beauty through intentional walks, art, food, and nature. We also explore why Jesus is called "the Word" in John's Gospel and what it means that believers are mobile temples.
