A 5-part podcast series

A Spiritual Approach to Mental Health

With ongoing concerns about mental health, people in all walks of life are looking for solutions. Sentinel Watch is sharing with you a 5-part podcast series that tackles some of the toughest challenges many people are facing today. See links to the first two podcasts below, and watch for more..


What the podcast series offers:


  • Healing stories on topics like depression, self-harm, suicide, and more.
  • Contributions from people of all ages that show God has answers to all types of mental health issues.
  • Conversational dialogue that makes this series appealing to even those who may not be fully interested in religion or spirituality.
  • Hope for those struggling with mental health, and for friends, family members, and others who want to find ways to support those who are struggling.


We’d love to have you share this series with anyone in your community who might benefit. This series is produced by the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, and their goal is for it to cross denominational lines and help anyone who listens. They would love to hear from you with your insights and feedback. There is a survey on every podcast page with a few short questions. 


Podcast #1 - How can I think about . . . depression?

- with Patricia Brugioni, Arnold Kalala


Depression doesn't have to be chronic to feel overwhelming. But as our guests' stories show, there is also a way out of those dark feelings, no matter how overwhelming they seem. Join us to hear why hope and healing are possible.

Podcast #2 - How can I think about . . . self-harm?

- with Jil Jertz, Bobby Lewis


It's one of those topics that's difficult to talk about. But our guests today are so convinced that healing of the impulse to self-harm is possible, that they were willing to share their own heartfelt stories. Listen in.

Exploring Mary Baker Eddy's

Revisions of Science and Health


October was the month when the first edition of Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy rolled off the presses in 1875. In honor of that event, the Longyear Museum looks at the revisions Mrs. Eddy made over the years to her most important work. You can also pay a virtual visit to the skylight room in Lynn, Massachusetts, where she completed her manuscript and corrected the printer’s galley sheets.
