Do you ever wonder how such incredible beauty and such profound brokenness can coexist in the world? And in the midst of those seeming competing realities, what does that mean about God and his goodness? It’s questions like these that today’s guest has studied, struggled with, and recently written a book about.
Sarah Clarkson is a writer and theologian who currently lives in West Sussex in England with her husband, son, and daughter. Sarah recently finished her MSt (Master of Studies) in modern doctrine at Wycliffe Hall in Oxford with a focus on theodicy and beauty, studying the presence of beauty in the midst of a broken work. Sarah also just completed her latest book, entitled This Beautiful Truth: How God’s Goodness Breaks Into Our Darkness, detailing the story of Sarah’s personal struggle with mental illness and the beauty that infiltrated and transformed her darkness, teaching her to hunger after hope.
Sarah’s insights are profound, hopeful, and have been fought for in the midst of her own suffering. She is a seasoned theologian and is an artist with her words. She has a beautiful way of speaking, of describing God, and of envisioning a world where Beauty is our ultimate reality and truth. My hope is that as you listen today, you may you know and feel that truth.
