SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

How a college student made Christian Science his own

Wondering how Christian Science fits into your life? This week’s guest shares how studying Christian Science—and making it his own as a young adult—actually propelled his spiritual growth and supported his studies in college and grad school.

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