How to Be Truly Wise
In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Robert Perry explores How to Be Truly Wise, that is, the relationship between innocence and wisdom in A Course in Miracles. He looks at how true wisdom comes from a deeper, clearer way of seeing and considers what it means to let go of the belief in evil and begin to see with the eyes of innocence, where only truth and perfection are recognized. If you're longing for a more peaceful way of moving through life (especially the times in which we live), this episode is for you. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

A Course in Miracles' Vision of Therapy
A Course in Miracles has its own form of psychotherapy—a complete approach to healing the mind rooted in its spiritual thought system. In this conversation, we explore the Course's approach to therapy, covering: What the Course teaches about psychotherapy Why therapy plays such a central role in its thought system How it compares to approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Why the Course emphasizes changing perception over analyzing the past The role of forgiveness in true psychological healing What a "holy relationship" between therapist and patient really means At its core, the Course's version of therapy is about shifting our emotional worldview—from fear, guilt, and defensiveness to a deeper recognition of innocence, safety, and love. This episode is also a preview of our training: Miracle-Minded Therapy Level 1.

Rethinking Disagreement in Spiritual Community
So many of us have learned that, in spiritual community, disagreement is a problem. We're supposed to be positive. Be loving. Anything else is ego. But what if complete agreement is not actually what love requires? In this Sunday Gathering sermon, we share a message called "Rethinking Disagreement in Spiritual Community," where we explore a powerful question: Is disagreement really unspiritual—or have we misunderstood what love looks like when something isn't right? If you've ever felt the tension between being loving and being honest, this message is for you. Want to join us for a Sunday Gathering? Access is included with a Course Companions membership.

Christianity Without Hell: A Conversation with Brian Recker
What if one of Christianity's core teachings is actually holding people back from love? In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Emily and Robert Perry sit down with Brian Recker, author of Hell Bent, to explore how the doctrine of hell shapes belief, behavior, and our image of God—and why it undermines a truly love-based spirituality. Brian shares his journey from a fundamentalist upbringing to becoming an evangelical pastor to ultimately questioning the fear-based theology he once preached. Together, they discuss the lingering impact of early religious conditioning, the hidden role hell still plays in modern Christianity, and what it could look like to rebuild the Christian story on a foundation of love. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Where is God in a World Full of Suffering?
Everywhere we look in our world there are so many tragedies it's easy to ask, "Where is God in all of this?" Does He even know about our suffering and, if He does, why doesn't He do more? These are the questions that cut right to the heart of our deepest doubts and struggles with religion and spirituality. But this is also where A Course in Miracles can help, because the Course offers a series of teachings that - when you put them together - provide an answer to this long-standing question that actually makes sense. If you've ever wondered how a loving God could allow so much pain, you won't want to miss this Sunday Gathering message from Emily Perry. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Holy Week for ACIM Students
In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily explore the meaning of Holy Week through the lens of A Course in Miracles. Holy Week marks the final days of Jesus' life—from his entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, to the crucifixion on Good Friday, to the resurrection on Easter Sunday. It's a week that didn't just shape Christianity—it changed the course of human history. But what does it mean for us now? In this conversation, we explore: The deeper spiritual meaning behind the events of Holy Week How A Course in Miracles reinterprets the crucifixion and resurrection What it looks like to live these teachings in your own life ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Black Voices in A Course in Miracles
In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry explore an often overlooked dimension of the Course's history: the influence of Black voices and Black religious culture. Recorded during Black History Month, this conversation brings forward connections that have rarely been discussed in the Course community. From Helen Schucman's early spiritual formation in a Harlem Baptist church to the appearance of African American cultural influences within the Course itself, the episode uncovers surprising threads woven into the story of A Course in Miracles. Among the topics discussed: The profound influence of Idabel, the Black Baptist housekeeper who helped shape Helen Schucman's early spiritual life How an African proverb entered the Course through a remark by an elevator operator The connection between the Course and James Weldon Johnson, a Harlem Renaissance writer and civil rights leader Helen Schucman's poem "Glory Train," inspired by the tradition of Black spirituals What the teachings of A Course in Miracles may offer in conversations about equality, healing, and spiritual liberation This episode also reflects on the unique way the Course presents a vision of radical spiritual equality—a vision that rejects hierarchy and affirms that everyone without exception is equal in God's eyes. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

ACIM & Spiritual Bypassing: The Difference Between Forgiveness and Denial (Sunday Gathering Sermon)
In this sermon, Emily Perry explores the difference between true forgiveness and spiritual denial. When Course ideas like "this world is an illusion" or "there is nothing to forgive" are used casually, they can sound like avoidance—or even cruelty—in the face of real suffering. So how do we hold the Course's lofty metaphysics without bypassing pain, suppressing emotions, or dismissing injustice? Drawing on key passages from the Text and Workbook, Emily offers a practical three-stage framework that is an invitation into a mature, grounded spirituality: one that looks directly at what hurts, refuses to camp in it, and opens to the Holy Spirit's genuine healing. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.
