SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

Can we really love each other no matter what?

Is Jesus’ command to love your neighbor just too big of an ask … at least in some situations? This week’s guest doesn’t think so. In fact, the love that Jesus taught and lived is the love we can live, too. And the experiences he shares in this episode are proof that this love actually heals.

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:

O voice of God, so pure, so near,
You calm the storm inside;
No sound of earth can draw me far
From where Your truths abide.
