What is beauty and why is it important to our spiritual lives? How does beauty help us as we do the work of caring for our souls? We will look briefly at the theology of beauty, consider its importance in our own individual lives and in God's greater story of redemption, and will think about how to apply this information about beauty to the work of soul care and the concept of "caring for the garden of your soul." During the course of the talk, you will be given a few minutes to contemplate the garden of your soul, so listen prepared for this bit of contemplation with a journal, sketchbook, or scrap paper to help you in this process.
