"Are we seeking someone special, or something more?"

with Elaina Simpson and Patrick Harber

On this edition of Sentinel Watch, our guests discuss how to seek and find companionship and lasting love—with or without a dating app. They share how they have found a peaceful feeling of already being loved when turning to God in prayer about companionship. They explain how looking for God’s spiritual qualities in others, instead of looking to a personality or material characteristics, has led to a deeper sense of God’s love and direction in their lives. 

So, to hear how you can feel a deeper sense of God’s love, companionship, and direction in your life, tune in to the next ​edition​ ​of​ ​Sentinel Watch—​​a​ ​weekly​ ​production​​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Christian Science​ ​Sentinel.
