Spotlight Series – The Urantia Book and Mental Health: The Power of Thought and Choice

Organized by: Urantia Foundation
Date: November 14. 2026
Time: 11:00 AM Central Time
ZOOM LINK Meeting ID: 859 6784 7096
Please log in ten minutes before the scheduled time.

Please join Jennifer Martin as she focuses on the topic of The Urantia Book and Mental Health: The Power of Thought and Choice

The Urantia Book offers many teachings about anxiety, fear, faith, choice, and the influence of our thoughts on daily living. But how might we put these teachings into practice when we find ourselves caught in discouragement, worry, or negative patterns of thinking?

Drawing on insights from psychology and the revelation, Jenny will explore practical ways to become more aware of our thoughts, question assumptions we may have accepted as true, and make more conscious choices about where we place our attention. She will introduce simple psychological concepts, including metacognition—the ability to observe and reflect upon our own thinking—and consider how greater awareness can help us respond more constructively to the ordinary emotional challenges of life.

Spotlights are held the second Saturday of the month via Zoom. Fascinating speakers present their deep dive into many Urantia topics, followed by an engaging discussion period. You can always find past presentations on YouTube.
