Beauty, Music, and Spiritual Formation with Keith and Kristyn Getty

Beauty, Music, and Spiritual Formation with Keith and Kristyn Getty

Our Summer 2025 series, Beside Still Waters, focuses on the places where creativity brings life into a world fatigued by brokenness and division. From jazz to Jane Austen and in between, this season we’ll focus on the ways literature and the arts can refresh and challenge our inner lives—and connect us with the Creator of the good, the true, and the beautiful.

In this episode, our guides are modern hymn writers Keith and Kristyn Getty. Back in 2019, we hosted a live Evening Conversation in which they explored the ways in which music can speak to our spiritual hunger and shape our sense of beauty, truth, and purpose:


"Our singing doesn't just affect each one of us. We are a witness to the world around us. When we sing, we are always a witness."


We hope this conversation will resonate with you as you explore the good, the true, and the beautiful in your own corner of creation.


If it does, please consider joining the Trinity Forum community as a member, at ttf.org. You can find the full video of this conversation there too. And while you’re here, please subscribe to this podcast on your chosen platform.
