#462 The Sacred Romance: Embracing the Sacred in Nature, Love, Beauty and Longing

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

As I sat in the heart of Anchorage, Alaska, surrounded by the whisper of trees and the embrace of the open sky, I found myself pondering the beauty that bridges our world with the divine. This episode brings you along on a spiritual odyssey, one that begins with an anecdote of a two-day women's retreat that I led, nestled amidst nature's grandeur. The narrative unfolds with a memory from high school, a moment that transcends mere physical attraction, leading to a revelation about the sacredness of human beauty. Through this story I invite you to consider how the 'small b beauty' of creation can open our eyes to the 'big B Beauty'—the presence of God in our lives.

There's an aching within each of us, a yearning for something more, something profound. We explore this universal longing for truth, goodness, and beauty, embracing these desires as intrinsic to our design.
