What happens when truth is communicated without beauty?

In this bonus episode of Musically Speaking, I sit down with Dr. Scott Aniol to argue that beauty is not an optional accessory to truth, but the means by which truth is perceived, embodied, and lived. Drawing from theology, philosophy, and the Western artistic tradition, they explore why aesthetics shape belief, why all art is inherently interpretive, and how modern culture has detached the arts from formation and worship.

The conversation also discusses the vision of the Redeemer School of the Arts, a residential, church-based academic program committed to forming artists within community, discipline, and the pursuit of the good life.
