SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

What is this stuff we see with our eyes, anyway?

Sometimes the concept of matter can be a tricky one when, if you know something about Christian Science, you know that it teaches that God’s creation is 100 percent spiritual. So what is this stuff we see with our eyes, anyway? This week’s guest shares what she’s learned about the concept of matter from the best healer of all time: Christ Jesus.

Join us via Zoom to hear this week’s Sentinel Watch podcast (and other audio offerings)

(NOTE: The current and past Sentinel Watch programs are always available online.)

This week’s collection of articles in the Christian Science Sentinel can be read or heard online:
