Chuck Thurston

The Urantia Book came into Chuck's life in the mid-1970s. Fifty years later, he remains one of the sharpest, most generous minds in the reading community: a digital artist, photographer, author, teacher, and partner in the Urantia Book Network.

Together with Derek Samaras, Chuck has co-hosted nearly 50 UBN study podcasts, diving deep into everything from the Lucifer Rebellion to the Divine Mother to the nature of personality itself. He is a host of Cosmic Citizen alongside Paula Thompson, Andre Radatus, Marvin Gawryn, and Pamela Chaddock.

He taught photography at San Francisco Community College and the Academy of Art University. He's the author of In His Image, Aleph-Bet Soup, and Senior Scribbles Unearthed. His presentations, including “Morontia Now,” “The Lucifer Rebellion: Adjudication Time Frame,” and “Developing a Felt Relationship with God Our Divine Mother,” have challenged and inspired readers at conferences across the country.
