  • Summary

  • On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Dr. Lanta Davis about her new book, Becoming by Beholding: The Power of the Imagination in Spiritual Formation. It’s a conversation about art, beauty, and the riches of the Christian tradition – about how we might put ourselves in a place where we can be surprised and transformed. This conversation was a treat since we were able to do it live and in-person, which gave the conversation a special energy. Among the topics we discuss:

    • Why the imagination is so powerful and why it's not enough to turn away from bad inputs
    • How our neglect of the imagiantion weakens our powers of discernment
    • Examples of the riches of the Christian imaginative tradition
    • On medieval bestiaries and the importance of learning the names of things
    • The balance between meeting people where they are and taking them to strange new places
    • Why transformation doesn't happen magically and how we might become more attentive to what is forming us.
