The final parts in the podcast series, “Thinking about women,” on tmcyouth.com that I participated in have been posted.
Part 5
Almost everyone knows what it’s like to want to shake a bad habit, unsuccessfully. If you’re honestly trying to live a better life, how can you move forward without being dragged down by outgrown behavior? The fifth installment of “Thinking about women—the series” covers just that—”How to shed behavior that drags you down.” This was a topic brought up right on the discussion forums of tmcyouth.com. In this podcast, Christian Science practitioner Russel Fogg and video producer Matt Lawrence join TMC Youth’s David Bates to look into it.
Part 6
Whether you’re married, hoping to marry some day, or happily single, “What about women, sex, and marriage?” has some spiritual insights for you. In the sixth and final episode of “Thinking about women—the series,” Christian Science lecturer Evan Mehlenbacher, Christian Science practitioner Russel Fogg, and video producer Matt Lawrence join TMC Youth’s David Bates honestly take on the topic of marriage, from a man’s perspective.
No women are in the discussion of women??????
A bit bias-
Interesting you mention that…but it is not an oversight. The focus of this podcast was intended to be men sharing with men on how to keep their thought right about women. The specific audience is men, although many women have enjoyed “eavesdropping” in on the conversation!
A corollary to this series would be podcasts on “Women thinking about men,” which would be women sharing with women how they work out struggles they have in how to view men correctly. I don’t know if that is in the offing or not…
Loved the last one especially.
I never had such a clear concept before of being “married” to the right concept of who you are as a child of God.
This is fabulous. Thank you for sharing.
I like the idea of Jesus, expressed also by Mary Baker Eddy, to set our sights on God — Love itself — Father-Mother God — as the best role model for life. It lifts us out of the misconception that gender defines us and can create divisions — and instead moves up upward to the idea that each of us is complete and whole. And it moves us out of the “tit for tat” debate — now we’ll talk about women — then we’ll talk about men . . .
It’s time to move out of history — then herstory — to talk about each of us, individually, and collectively, as ideas of Love, united!
And this involves not focusing and worshipping matter (female or male anatomy) — but instead, focusing and worshipping Spirit, the divine idea, where “Gender means simply kind or sort, and does not necessarily refer either to masculinity or femininity. . . The intelligent individual idea, be it male or female, rising from the lesser to the greater, unfolds the infinitude of Love.” Mary Baker Eddy
