What would happen if our hospitality looked like the heart of Jesus? In this series, we challenge ourselves to extend a wider welcome, moving beyond our comfort zones to embrace the stranger, the seeker, the poor, the learner, and the foreigner. Join us as we explore the biblical mandate to open our doors, our hearts, and our lives to mirror the boundless love of God.

In this installment of our Life of the Mind Lecture Series, Dr. Laura A. Smit explores A Sense of Sweetness: In Search of a Reformed Theology of Beauty. Challenging the common assumption that the Reformed tradition has little interest in beauty, Dr. Smit shows how its theological convictions offer a rich vision that deepens our worship, enriches our appreciation of the arts, and shapes the Christian life. The Life of the Mind Lecture Series at First & Calvary invites thoughtful Christians and curious seekers alike to engage important ideas at the intersection of faith, theology, culture, and the life of the mind.
