A Masterclass from
Dann Farrelly
About This Masterclass
Rediscover the God you thought you knew.
A familiar passage suddenly comes alive. A story helps you see Jesus differently. Something you’ve believed for years becomes a truth that moves you to worship. What is it about those moments that reaches beyond explanation and captures your heart?
In Articulating the Undefinable, Dann Farrelly invites you to explore the nature of God with fresh curiosity. Across five sessions, journey through the Trinity, the revelation of God in Jesus, and the beauty of His attributes—discovering how theology can deepen intimacy and awaken wonder.
You’ll also explore how Scripture uses story, metaphor, and imagination to reveal what definitions alone can’t fully express. Whether you teach, lead, create, or simply long to know God more deeply, come find fresh language for your faith and a renewed appreciation for the One you’re describing.
There is more of Him to discover—and more to delight in.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve walked with God for years. Is there something here for me, too?
There is something precious about seeing a familiar truth with fresh eyes. Dann invites you to revisit the nature of God, the person of Jesus, and the stories of Scripture with renewed attention. If you’re longing to be captivated again by the One you love, this class offers space to slow down and rediscover His beauty.
I’m drawn to the storytelling and imagination side of this class. How does that connect with Scripture?
Scripture is rich with stories, poetry, and imagery that reveal God’s heart. Dann explores how those expressions help us grasp the beauty of truths we might otherwise struggle to put into words. If you connect deeply with a story or picture, you’ll find an invitation to notice how God uses that language to make Himself known.
