... what do you see is contributing to that?

A lie of who we are, a lie that w- we are not loved, a lie that God is a demanding God and w- you know, just pours down wrath upon us, our brokenness that, uh, is unwilling to come back and receive the mercy oftentimes, sadly, but the mercy is there.

And I think whe- that's the thing, when we encounter authentic beauty, we feel it again.

We're like, "Whoa, I experience his mercy anew when I... every time I encounter..." It could be simple sunset or the laughter of my son, right? The childlo- childhood laughter, right? There's something about it that brings us in, in, in touch with the beauty of Christ.

And, uh, our culture is feeding into...

Well, this is what the devil does.

He d- he speaks lies into our hearts that we're not treasured, that we're not loved.

Hmm.
