The Good and Beautiful Series, is a year long study of three books written by James Bryan Smith: The Good and Beautiful God, The Good and Beautiful Life, and The Good and Beautiful Community.
Each week features a reading from a chapter and a ‘soul-training exercise’ (or spiritual practice) that goes along with that week’s reading.
From the fall of 2019 to summer of 2020 we journeyed through the books together as a class. We have left the videos and materials for each of the three books online so you can study them personally or use them in a small group setting. We have left the full length video of each class online, or you can choose to watch the Circle / Small Groups edit, which is shorter for use in a small group study setting.
The Good and Beautiful God
The Good and Beautiful God focuses on how our narratives about God shape everything, and reshapes our thinking about God to reflect what Jesus teaches.
