Count on God, Addressing Polarized Politics, and other info for this week

Flowers

Join us to hear two inspiring and thoughtful podcasts this week.

Sentinel Watch     You can count on God

Is God motivated by our prayers to help or guide us? This week’s guest shares how she knows that God’s presence and power is always active. And it’s something we can always count on.

The effect of this Science is to stir the human mind to a change of base, on which it may yield to the harmony of the divine Mind. (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 162:9)

The Christian Science Monitor                    PODCAST: WHY WE WROTE THIS

A narrative missed by the news. Where do Americans place trust? The answer may surprise you.

Partisan side-taking is real, but it’s not the whole story. Filter out the manufactured distrust from the extremes, and you can find data to support that public thought moves in the same direction on some key issues. Our writer, former Editor of the Monitor, found a counternarrative, which he shares in this program.

Join us to consider this week’s podcasts and related articles 

Tuesday, March 12

Please MUTE yourself during the program. (Press *6 if you are listening by phone. This will UNMUTE you as well.)

This week’s Sentinel magazine offers inspiring articles that you can listen to anytime. The article And who is my neighbor? reaffirms Love’s presence in our lives, that we expand our experience by expanding our prayers, and, further, we can confirm that God is always loving all in every minute in the article What God is already doing.
 

...it’s for His own glory that God cares for you and expresses His pure goodness and utter perfection in you. (What God is already doing, March 11, 2024 Sentinel)
