In this week’s episode of The Connected Kingdom, David Murray and I talk to Steve DeWitt. Steve is the author of Eyes Wide Open [2], one of my favorite books of 2012 (here’s my review [3]). It is a book about beauty, about learning to enjoy God in everything. We talk to Steve about:

• Getting married (just a few weeks ago) at the age of 44 and after 20 years in ministry
• Why God created this world to be beautiful
• How beauty is meant to motivate worship
• Whether beautiful art is objectively good or whether there needs to be an explicit gospel message
• Why beauty can be so closely associated with lust

We discuss more than that, of course, but that’s the gist of it. I think giving it a listen will prove well worth your while.
