“How do you document real life when real life’s getting more like fiction each day?” In this sermon from our Artists Who Inspire series, Rev. Beth Dana reflects on the life and work of Jonathan Larson, creator of Rent and Tick, Tick… Boom!, whose music gave voice to urgency, loss, and the deep human need to connect. Through his story, we explore how art can speak truth when words fail, and how creativity becomes a sacred act in times of despair. Larson’s life was cut short on the brink of his success, but his legacy reminds us to live boldly, love deeply, and make something meaningful of the time we’re given.
