#146 The Devil Hates Beauty w/ Catholic Artist Jay Parnell 1/5 "What is Good, What is True, & What is Beautiful"

We were made for beauty. Which is why the enemy wants to destroy it.

In this opening episode, we confront the often-ignored spiritual war on beauty. Jay Parnell joins us to expose how the rejection of sacred art and aesthetics in the modern Church wasn’t a stylistic shift, it was a strategic one. When beauty disappears, reverence follows. When our churches grow cold and plain, so do our hearts.

We’ll uncover why the Church historically saw beauty as essential to evangelization, why Satan despises it, and how our faith cannot survive, much less thrive without it. This is more than a conversation about art. It’s a call to recover what hell has tried to erase: the visible glory of God.
