My life changed from the inside out
Left with no apparent options after being diagnosed with a painful terminal illness, Martine Blackler decided to explore the religion she'd turned away from years before. For six months she voraciously studied Christian Science. All she wanted to do was read the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. And soon, her whole life changed.
Searching for a job?

Getting yourself out of the way
Do you ever feel like you can't get out of your own way? Or, on the flip side, like it's all up to you? This week's guest T. Michael Fish, shares what he's learned about his spiritual identity, and how getting a limited sense of himself out of the way and letting God lead his words and actions, has brought success, freedom, and even physical healing.

A Christian Science Talk with Lesley Pitts
"God's love, goodness, and intelligence never change and are always available," says Pitts. "When we discover God's love and care for us, we can confidently turn to this divine presence and find our lives transformed and healed — and our families, communities, and the whole world benefit, too."
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Pitts will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.
Pitts will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, who came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus' demand, "He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father" (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible).
For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is more than theory — it's a practice that can deepen your relationship with God and change life for the better. In Christian Science, God is understood to be infinite Love, and so invariably good that a clear glimpse of this through prayer has power to heal, redeem, and restore anyone.

Can Christianity be scientific?
Science is all about understanding and demonstration. Christianity is of the heart. Can these two views be in harmony with each other? We invite you to read a few articles that show how naturally Christianity and Science go together and the blessings that this connection can bring.
Is Christian Science the same as Scientology? The similarities in name can cause some confusion, but the two are, in fact, entirely different religions with very little in common and are not connected in any way. Learn more

Mary Baker Eddy
Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was a lifelong student of the Bible. It became clear to her that spiritual healing was based on divine laws of God, Spirit, and that these laws could be applied by anyone to heal human suffering and sin. Her primary work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, contains the full explanation of Christian Science and its biblical foundation of spiritual healing. Mary Baker Eddy went on to establish the Church of Christ, Scientist, as a Christian denomination and worldwide movement of spiritual healers.

For He shall give His angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
