Where Truth and Beauty Meet | THRIVE 2014

In this talk at THRIVE 2014, Jimmy Mitchell explores the human longing for beauty and the way authentic beauty leads us beyond ourselves to the truth and ultimately to the person of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture, the wisdom of the Church, and his own journey of faith, he reflects on how encounters with beauty—from Eucharistic adoration and sacred art to nature, music, and human love—can awaken hope and reveal the glory of God. Through the story of his brother Bobby’s death and the profound healing that followed, he shows how God can transform even our deepest wounds into sources of grace, redemption, and new life. Ultimately, he calls us to become “apostles of beauty,” allowing Christ to make our lives into masterpieces that help repair the breaches of a broken culture and lead others toward Him.
