Paul, Jon, Adam, and Liz continue their conversation about discipleship, looking at the role of beauty.

"Our first tagline at seeJesus was 'helping people see the beauty of Jesus,' and people really struggled to understand what we did. I thought that was because the beauty of Jesus is hard for people grasp if they don’t understand the person of Jesus. But I've come to realize, that the church is actually weak on beauty itself…"

"Seeing beauty requires attentiveness. But when you pursue it directly, you end up with a kind of a fake beauty or a hunt for emotional experiences."

"They say if you can get a kid excited about reading, then you’ve opened up a world to them for life. I’ve seen a similar dynamic in discipleship, where if you get someone excited about Jesus and the beauty of Jesus, then discipleship is downhill, not uphill. Beauty puts energy into obedience."
