#147 The Devil Hates Beauty w/ Catholic Artist Jay Parnell 2/5 "Say What Words Cannot - Art and the Mystery of Faith"

Episode 2: Say What Words Cannot - Art and the Mystery of Faith

Some truths are too deep for words and that’s where beauty begins.

In this episode, we explore how sacred art serves as a bridge between heaven and earth. Jay Parnell joins us to discuss how Catholic imagery speaks to the soul in ways that doctrine alone cannot. When the mind reaches its limits, beauty continues the conversation. From the mystery of the Incarnation to the glory of the Eucharist, art becomes a kind of visual theology: teaching, convicting, and inviting us deeper.

Why does beauty move us when argument fails? How do symbols, icons, and architecture awaken wonder in a world dulled by distraction? And how can today’s Catholic artists reclaim their prophetic role to say with brush and chisel what must be said to save souls?
