CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE

Rediscovering joy — healing depression

by Lisa Troseth, CSB
From March 2025

When feelings of deep anxiety and depression threatened to disturb Lisa’s university experience, a familiar hymn evoked a profound sense of divine Love. With the help of a Christian Science practitioner, Lisa learned how effective prayer could help her turn to God and find lasting healing. By aligning with God's view of our inherent goodness and wholeness, we can overcome life's limiting narratives and experience genuine, unshakeable joy. Reflecting Jesus’s approach of seeing God-like qualities in everyone, Christian Science honors our natural wholeness rather than seeking to "fix" us, thus promoting a more complete sense of healing and transformation. Lisa Troseth is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
