Description

What does beauty have to do with suffering? And what do both have to do with the practice of medicine? In this TMC seminar, theologian Dr. Natalie Carnes and family physician Dr. Brewer Eberly sit down for a rich conversation about beauty — one of the Christian names for God — and why beauty and suffering are so deeply intertwined in the Christian story. Together they explore what this togetherness means for how we love, attend, and care in medicine. This episode aired on February 20, 2026.
