Your Daily Lift

Have you heard about the new series of mini-podcasts, “Your Daily Lift,” put out by the Christian Science Board of Lectureship?

Each day, a 60-90 second thought for the day is recorded by a different lecturer and posted on www.christianscience.com. The ideas shared are quite good.

I had one posted today, titled, “You are good.”

Podcast on the economy

I was recently interviewed by time4thinkers.com on my spiritual perspective of the economy.

A young man making his way in the music industry and a bank examiner working at the Federal Reserve were also interviewed.

Episode #3 in the series, “Thinking about women,” that I was involved with, has been posted on tmcyouth.com.

The intro…

Most people think sensual desires are natural to human beings. But are they? And are they something we just have to learn to deal with, or is there another solution ? These are the kinds of questions a group of guys talk about in the third installment of “Thinking about women-the series.”

Episode #2 of the podcast series, “Thinking about women,” that I participated in, is posted on tmcyouth.com.

Here’s the intro:

“Most people are familiar with Adam, Eve, and the apple. (A drawing of the story is even shown at the beginning of the popular television show, “Desperate Housewives.”) Its underlying theme has really impacted everyday life whether we feel it directly or not. So, “How do we get beyond the Adam and Eve model?”

"You can be healed" podcast

My first podcast is online. Produced for tmcyouth.com, “You can be healed,” was posted this evening and is available for anyone to listen to.

Here’s the intro…

When Christian Science lecturer Evan Mehlenbacher was a kid, he stepped on a rusty nail and it almost went clear through his foot. He was scared, but as he thought about what he knew first hand about the healing power of God, he knew he could trust God to heal him.

Evan shares step by step his thought process, how he dealt with his fears, what he learned about God and the end result. He worked it out through prayer and shows how your prayers can heal you, too.

You can listen to the audio online, or download it to your MP3 player or ipod. Its 15 minutes long.

Enjoy!
