How to Resist Hatred Without Becoming Hateful (Sunday Gathering Sermon)
How do we stand up to hatred without becoming hateful ourselves? And how can we remain peaceful in a world that seems increasingly determined to divide us? In times of political uncertainty, fear, and division, it's natural to turn to our spiritual path for comfort. But what if our spirituality is meant to do more than help us feel better about the world? What if it's meant to help us become better for the world? In this Sunday Gathering message, Emily Perry explores three powerful teachings from A Course in Miracles that can help us navigate troubled times with greater courage, compassion, and love. Drawing on the teachings of Jesus, the wisdom of A Course in Miracles, and the example of Martin Luther King Jr., Emily explores how we can resist fear, break the cycle of attack and counterattack, and become a healing presence in the world. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Conversation with David Gushee
What would happen if we truly lived what Jesus taught? That question is at the heart of a fascinating conversation with Christian ethicist David Gushee, Robert and Emily's special guest on this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles. For decades, David has tackled some of Christianity's most challenging moral questions, from the Holocaust and LGBTQ inclusion, Christian nationalism and the future of evangelicalism. His work has enormous relevance for us as Course students because, at the heart, we are on the same journey: If we really believe the teachings of our faith, what does it mean to live them - even when it's costly? David also wrote the foreword to Robert's new book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, reflecting their shared interest in recovering Jesus' original message and its relevance to our lives today. This thought-provoking conversation offers much for Course students and anyone interested in the relationship between faith and the courage to live what we believe. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Reclaiming Jesus as Our Teacher
For many of us, Jesus has been buried beneath centuries of theology, doctrine, and complicated religious history—but A Course in Miracles invites us into something much more immediate: a living relationship with Jesus as our teacher. In this Sunday Gathering message, Robert explores what it might mean to reclaim that relationship and actually become his pupils—not simply admiring his teachings, but allowing him to teach us how to live.

Have We Gotten God Wrong?
Many of us grew up with a personal God who could be angry, judgmental, demanding, and even frightening. So it's understandable that contemporary spirituality has often embraced a very different idea: God as consciousness, energy, Being, or the impersonal essence of everything. But what if there is another possibility? In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry discuss why the impersonal view of God has become so compelling in modern spirituality, what Jesus actually taught about God, and why the Course—despite its sophisticated metaphysics—continues to speak of God as Father, Creator, and Someone with whom we are meant to have a relationship.

Who Was Jesus Before Christianity?
Before Christianity became a religion, before centuries of theology and doctrine accumulated around him, there was a man named Jesus with a distinctive—and revolutionary—message. But what did he actually teach? What did he believe about God, about us, and about how we are meant to live? And for students of A Course in Miracles, there's another fascinating question: Does the Jesus we can recover from history sound like the Jesus we encounter in the Course? This episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles focuses on Robert's new book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, and what decades of research have revealed about the teacher behind Christianity.

Who is My Brother?
The Course tells us that our brother is our savior. But what happens when we've decided that someone is guilty, dangerous, or undeserving? In this episode, a sermon from a recent Sunday Gathering, we'll explore the Course's laws of chaos section and the striking progression by which the ego turns a Son of God into an enemy whose suffering seems justified. At the heart of the episode is a question worth asking ourselves: Who have I decided is not my brother - and why? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Did Bill Thetford Edit A Course in Miracles?
For decades, the Hugh Lynn Cayce manuscript—sometimes called the "Sparkly"—has been described as "the Thetford Edit," based on the belief that Bill was its primary editor. But does the historical evidence actually support that claim? In this episode, Robert and Emily Perry examine eyewitness accounts and the Course's early manuscripts to ask who was really making the editorial decisions—and offer a clearer picture of how the Course came to be.

The Jesus We Lost: Recovering the Teacher Behind the Savior
For two thousand years, we've known Jesus as Messiah, Son of God, Lord and Savior. But somewhere along the way, another Jesus largely disappeared from view: Jesus the Teacher. In this message from a Sunday Gathering sermon, we explore what happened to that Jesus and why recovering him matters now. Drawing on Robert's forthcoming book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, we'll return to the Gospels and encounter a Jesus who taught an astonishing vision of how to be in this world and why it matters now. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.
