Mental & Spiritual Health

This thoughtful series, Mental & Spiritual Health, explores the connection between inner well-being and a life lived faithfully before God. Delivered with warmth and practical insight, the talks encourage self-examination, resilience, and growth toward maturity of mind and spirit. Each lecture blends scriptural principles with everyday application, helping listeners face life’s frustrations, cultivate contentment, and develop stability in character. The result is a deeply practical series that aims to strengthen disciples in both thought and action as they press toward the kingdom.

A Look Within

The opening lecture emphasizes the need for honest self-examination. Listeners are encouraged to confront personal weaknesses, avoid rationalizations, and pursue spiritual stability by applying divine principles to daily life. True maturity begins by steering the “bark of life” with self-control and sincerity.

Our Relationship to a Strange Economy

This session considers how the surrounding culture shapes thinking and behavior. It urges believers to resist being molded by worldly contradictions, frustrations, and pressures, instead creating an atmosphere of refinement and courtesy consistent with the truth. Spiritual maturity is shown as the antidote to fear and instability in uncertain times.

True Education

Here the focus turns to the idea of “drawing out” true character through right habits and deliberate choices. The lecture stresses conditioning the mind toward righteousness, developing spiritual willpower, and learning adaptability in relationships and responsibilities. Maturity comes through selflessness and the re-creation of Godly habits.

Self-Understanding

This lecture explores the challenge of understanding oneself honestly, without excuses or pride. Self-understanding, combined with the principles of the gospel, fosters humility, love, and a spirit of service. By binding together faith, sincerity, and selflessness, believers can eliminate pride and divisions, cultivating maturity in Christ.

Influences Around Us

This study examines the constant influence of newspapers, radio, movies, television, and advertising. Listeners are encouraged to remain discerning, resisting the pull of covetousness, false values, and unwholesome content. The emphasis is on filling life with what is good and balanced, rather than being shaped by a culture driven by profit and sensationalism.

Going On to Perfection

The final lecture draws the series together, urging disciples to let God, the potter, shape their lives. Using the image of Michelangelo seeing an angel within a block of stone, the call is to carve out godly character through perseverance, prayer, and wholehearted will. Maturity means striving daily to be transformed into the likeness of Christ, prepared for the kingdom to come.
