Aaron Frei joins the BeatiDudes for a wide-ranging and unexpectedly joyful conversation that moves from laughter and absurdity straight into beauty, meaning, and the architecture of the soul. What begins with classic BeatiDudes banter quickly settles into a thoughtful reflection on how beauty, especially sacred beauty, draws us toward God, even when we do not yet have the words for it.

Aaron brings insight into the language of architecture, especially Romanesque form, explaining how structure, proportion, and physical space can preach the Gospel without saying a word. The conversation explores why beauty is not ornamental to the faith but essential to it, and how encountering beauty can reorient men who feel lost, distracted, or spiritually stalled back toward something higher.

Along the way, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein reflect on how beauty rescues us, how humor keeps us human, and why fraternity matters as we seek to live lives ordered toward eternity.

Key Takeaways and Action Items
• Pay attention to the beauty that already surrounds you and ask what is stirring in your heart
• Notice how physical spaces influence your prayer, attention, and sense of peace
• Use humor as a bridge to deeper conversation rather than a distraction from it
• Invite beauty back into your daily life through music, art, architecture, or silence
