Mental Illness and The Urantia Book: A Different Perspective on Treatment—UBIS Spotlight Series

Presentation by Jim Watkins, followed by audience discussion. Presented January 13, 2024. There are many compelling teachings in The Urantia Book that warrant a closer look. Our guest speakers set the stage with a brief presentation highlighting one of these interesting topics, followed by a discussion with the audience. The ideas and opinions presented are those of the speaker and do not necessarily represent those of Urantia Foundation or Urantia Book International School (UBIS).

Jim discovered The Urantia Book in 1982 while finishing broadcasting school in Hollywood, California. It was happenstance that a fellow employee at a movie theatre introduced Jim to the revelation while discussing, of all things, Adam and Eve.

In 2015, Jim published his first book entitled A New Revelation: Exploring the Urantia Book. One year later, Jim launched a website and 24/7 streaming channel which featured book readings, commentary, articles, and interviews with members of the Urantia community.

When podcasting began gaining popularity in 2017, Jim created The Urantia Radio Podcast. He recently published his second book called The Gift, which explores the potential impact The Urantia Book will have on future society as people become more familiar with its teachings.

Jim has been married for 25 years, and has three grown children and a granddaughter. Now residing in South Florida, he is also a consultant and national radio host at CRN, a Los Angeles-based cable company.
