Hear Derek share how beauty led him deeper into the mystery of the Eucharist, and why the Church’s artistic tradition isn’t just decoration—it’s a declaration of love for God. From the image of the descending dove to the biblical story of the woman who anoints Jesus with costly perfume, this conversation is a powerful reflection on how beauty evangelizes.
