Over the past two years, the "Our Mother God” team of five Urantia Book enthusiasts met regularly via zoom with the intention of learning from, and with, one another. During that process, we learned a great deal about the various approaches to understanding and "teaching" our topic. We also learned a great deal about one another’s personal lives, and we naturally formed deep, everlasting connections of understanding and respect. Over the course of our meetings, I also came to

UUI has offered the Urantia Book New Reader Course (NRC) in English twelve times over the past several years, for a hundred plus participants. The course utilizes ten handouts of carefully chosen and juicy passages from the text. Each is designed to both intrigue new readers and still provide a comprehensive overview of the key terms and concepts, and the very different types of material in the revelation. It is an entirely new kind of pleasure and challenge to teach this co

by Michael Hagan ∞ with Monica Kemp When I was a teenager, our pastor led our youth group in reading and discussing a book by that title. Everyone at some point in their life has been tempted by a false god: success, wealth, popularity, or power. Many dedicate their lives to one or more. It’s easy to be seduced into worshiping the idols of business, politics, or pop culture. Some of them even have their own TV shows, podcasts, TikTok or YouTube sites, attracting mill

Seedings by Michael Hagan ∞ with Monica Kemp René Descartes established a new era for Western philosophy when he wrote, “I think; therefore, I am.” I am able to think; therefore, I exist. Man, unlike animals, is self-aware. It is humankind’s ability to think that sets us apart from the animal heritage from which we sprang. But to completely leave the animal in us behind, we need a higher goal than the creation of tools. Thinking is only the first step towar

Legacy giving options come in many forms, each with unique benefits and considerations. Understanding these options can help you choose the best way to support your favorite causes. 1. Bequests in Wills One of the most common legacy giving options is including a gift in your will. This can be a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or particular assets such as property or stocks. Bequests are flexible and can be changed at any time during your lifetime. 2. Be

Seedlings by Michael Hagan and Monica Kemp Like Hansel and Gretel, we’re trying to find our way home. Unlike them, we aren’t kids lost in the local woods. Instead, we sometimes feel smaller than needles lost in an infinite haystack. Not merely days, our own journey home will consume billions of years and trillions of miles. We aren’t traveling alone. After our first moral decision around age six, each of us was given a priceless celestial compass. This Spirit Pilot, from and

In 2025, UUI was pleased to launch a series of experiential spiritual living courses, designed and facilitated by Guy Perron and Agnes Lazar, for French-language students of the Urantia Book. Each course is seven weeks long with a break in between. Guy and Agnes are also concurrently running the same series of three courses in English on separate days. French course offerings continue in 2026. Basculer du confort à la croissance (Shifting from Comfort to Growth) ~ Sept to Oct

The UUI Cafe was created in March 2020 as a response to disruption to everyday living, devastation to the economy, and human casualties caused by the coronavirus. But what began as an emergency call to action has become a community of the spirit, with over 1100 Cafes having taken place to date. The UUI Cafe is a place where truthseekers can get together in supportive and Spirit-affirming discussions based on the spiritual truths of the Urantia Book. The Café is open at diffe

UUI offered its first Spanish-language course in October, taught by recent Teacher Education Program graduate Jimmer Prieto. Jimmer demonstrates a willingness to teach his fellows in loving service while maintaining the attitude of a life-long curious student of the Urantia Book. Jimmer is originally from Colombia and is now living in Indiana, USA. "Seven revelations to make the old world a new one" will be offered again in 2026, and you can click here to join the waiting li

Students across the globe dedicate their time and mental energies to further their understanding of Urantia concepts, while growing in their desire to become more faithful children of God. Here is some practical advice from Brenda Lyman, a 2024/2025 graduate who hopes to use what she has learned from the program to share the revelation with her fellow members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "This is a safe space to learn, so don't think you have to know ev

Last month we welcomed a new class to the Teacher Education Program. The 2025/26 cohort includes students from around the globe. Over 9 months, these 18 spiritual seekers will be trained and transformed into spiritual ambassadors. We asked last year's graduates of the program to share their wisdom and experience gained with the new class, those about to start a transformational journey. Here's a testimonial from Ejikeme Obasi:: "One of the unexpected gifts of the program—the
